i lost my iPad mini 2 on a flight from dc a few weeks ago. i loved that thing but its lack of touchid compared to my 5s constantly jarred

anyway in a week or two i'm gonna go upgrade everything and i'm either gonna go

5se and iPad mini4
6s and air 2 or pro 9.7"
6s+ only

i'm leaning toward options 1 or 3

people generally like to think that they are good

they deal with the cognitive dissonance of doing bad poo poo as SOP every day by forgetting that it's bad

but when you forget that it's bad, you also forget about poo poo like " don't leave evidence of my crimes sitting around"

it's amazing that not only are unions almost dead, but that companies themselves are actually collectively working to reduce wages of their employees. p hosed up imho.
