It's a thought-terminating cliché common in online circles "bootlicker" "corporate overlords" etc. etc.

Has nothing to do with reality and more just a bunch of young kids who found another tech forum to perform their political whining on.

Eternal September wherever you go.

Ever heard of advanced concepts such as "euphonism" and "joke"?

Especially in the context of idioms such as "boot licker" (which doesn't describe a person literally licking someone's boot! I know, shocking, right?)

I mean I didn't click on the linked thread, because frankly: who the hell cares what people on a forum called "Mac rumors" say... Even as a frequent apple user myself i wouldn't take anything seriously there. But the way you two addressed his sarcasm was just underwhelming.

Take a joke for what it is. Downvote if you don't see value in it - but if you're going to address it - do it properly and not by "misunderstanding" things on purpose.

		Yes, indeed, repeating the same thing over and over again is one form of humour. Seth McFarlane reached the pinnacle, and now Hacker News and Reddit users the world over wallow in the shallows of it. A tragedy that a 3B LLM can replicate such glory as repetitive posts about corporations and bootlickers and so on and so forth.
