Most people who aren't literal music pros can use Audacity for basically anything they need, but I guess Logic/Ableton are like the Photoshop equivalents that actual professionals require

There doesn't seem to be a good free/open-source alternative like GIMP for this use case, which is annoying but as your post pointed out it's not like no software for this exists on Windows. Ableton seems kind of expensive but there's always Pro Tools or FL Studio which seem to be available for about $100.

Most people believe they need Macs do "music" because they saw an ad or something. When you ask them about it they say something like, "Because it's more stable."

That makes it make some modicum of sense but it still doesn't seem to me like it should be legal

like everything else about the stock market

i mean the "shorts" the guys in The Big Short were doing were way different than regular stock market shorting, it really was more like finding another guy and betting on the outcome of a thing. it's legal because they both sign the contract that takes it from "gamble" to financial instrument.

Stock shorting is the regulated & formalized descendant of those types of betting; where shorting once was the practice of borrowing somebody's shares, selling it off for cash, then buying it back at a lower price and pocketing the difference. And most trading services intentionally make it hard to do. They don't want people in the position of that dope who owed $100k on a $30k short -- because if that dope turns out to be broke then e-trade would be on the hook.

It's a good thing that shorting is legal because when all the "gambling" is focused on stocks going up, it distorts the market and tends to make bubbles more likely. That's why mortgage bonds went so crazy, everyone was betting on the upside and the only ways to bet on the downside was a) to be a wealthy, connected investor that could do what the big short guys did, or b) to be a bank yourself and "bet" on failure by selling off your own positions with false pretenses.

Apple is so innovative and user-friendly that they don't have a back button on the faceplate because they're smart and are very wise

Iphones not having a loving back button (what the gently caress) are like one of the major reasons I don't switch, though I absolutely love their size and hate the trend with Android phones getting bigger and bigger. I want a phone with the size of the SE that runs on android and has a back button.

except now your tags are orange so anytime you take it in to the Apple store they'll shrug and go 'water damage bro gotta buy a new one this isn't covered.'

Who cares how much your phone cost? You didn't invent that, you just bought it, and anyone who can come up with $800 can do the same
