bad news fossbros I too am switching back to iphone

smartphones all suck ass and I won't use it for anything more complex than listening to music so I might as well have the one that doesn't give HR cat ladies the ick
@deprecated_ii why are you submitting to the whims of ugly old hags
@Nudhul I like being able to sleep under a roof and eat food that doesn't come from a dumpster
@deprecated_ii @Nudhul HR departments are refusing to hire people because they use Android instead of iPhone? That seems silly, but I'd believe it.
@redneonglow @Nudhul it's not a make or break thing by any means. I'm sure the effect is small. but when you're one of 50-1000 candidates for one job opening, they're looking for any reason to reject you

this is so obviously true I am mystified by all the sneering certain people are doing over the logic involved. you can get rejected for using the wrong friggin font on your resume, or having an out-of-area phone number
@deprecated_ii @Nudhul Wouldn't Android users be viewed as "geekier" and thus more intelligent and fit for the job?
@redneonglow @Nudhul by an HR lady? absolutely not

a hiring manager isn't going to give a shit about your phone unless he's a total retard. but you can't get to the hiring manager without getting past HR
@deprecated_ii @redneonglow @Nudhul can''t you just leave your phone in the car or bag/breifcase/pocket?
@Heil_Honkler @redneonglow @Nudhul it's about text messages. it's obvious to an iphone user that you are on android, because the bubble is a different color for SMS vs iMessage

have you guys seriously not heard about this stigma?

@deprecated_ii @Heil_Honkler @redneonglow @Nudhul I guess the "green bubble shamers" are more interested in homosexual men than heterosexual ones, since I cannot think of anything more gay than owning an iPhone as a man.

Okay, I will be fair and say that you can be a straight man and have an iPhone. But if you "green bubble shame" as a man you are engaging in women behavior. Because if you are a man why do you care what someone else uses for their phone? It is just a tool you use.
