Counterpoint: wires really suck and are not fine. AirPods Pro are great, I can afford them and they improve my quality of like quite a bit.

Different strokes I guess.

Some years ago I commuted to work by subway in a city that had turnstiles at all transit stops. Having earbuds unceremoneously ripped out of my ears by spinning metal arms sent me straight to bluetooth and I have never looked back.

Wires suck.

counter counterpoint:

A wire sitting on a table does not suck. 2 people can gather around that table and still, the wire does not suck. As soon as 1 person picks up the wire and starts doing something with it....now an interaction with a wire sucks.

But that's not the wire's fault.

  • >now an interaction with a wire sucks.

    >But that's not the wire's fault.

    So... "it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden deceleration"?

    • I believe that's a straw man fallacy.

      My assertion is that an inanimate object becomes a problem when a human interacts with it.

      Your attempted logical argument is that a law of nature is the same as an inanimate object.

      I am not contesting that an inanimate object is the same as gravity.

      I'm saying that humans make bad decisions with simple things and whine about inanimate objects and that's a very real first world problem.

was listening to music while coming with groceries and simultaneously juggling stuff to open the doors and change the track with Siri (the only use for Siri I have)
