> I know what each one does, and how it affects my system.

That is a bold claim for someone complaining that their system doesn’t work. Look, I’m not apologizing for macOS but it does seem that they test the happy path these days and you either use it as they give it to you or it runs like ass. Like if you want a computer without Siri and without iCloud etc then get a Linux box.

There are people who are qualified to fuck about with their computer and there are people who aren’t and how you tell the difference is after they fucked about with it they don’t fucking complain about it not working. (Because either it’s working or they understand that they fucked it up and they are choosing the particular form of the fucked-upness because they got some benefit).

Holy hell, shut up. It was clearly stated that the “fucking with” of the computer happened after and because of the “fucked up” state of the computer. Your hypothesis is ruled out by the laws of causality and the arrow of time, and moreover if we violate all logic to assume your hypothesis is true, you are still wrong because if it was not fucked, he wouldn’t have fucked with it.

But somehow you are possessed of such inexhaustible and unwarranted confidence that you have not even noticed your claim is both nonsense and impossible, and furthermore you feel justified in serving this impossible nonsense with a side of condescension!

This is such an abject failure of reason and decorum that the only course of action to positively contribute that I can suggest to you is to not contribute at all, i.e., shut up.

You are the worst kind of corporate apologist. You don't sound qualified to have this conversation at all. You're highly emotional and talk like a fucking idiot. Buzz off.
