    I quit smoking and got on the nicotine lozenges. I was eating a bunch of lozenges, almost constantly. Then I started kinda smoking again, but didn’t stop the lozenges. Then I had a stroke which left me with a permanent disability, likely partially caused by wild blood pressure swings due to high levels of nicotine.

    I quit by default after 3 weeks in a rehab center. The lesson here is… quit before the hospital. It’s worth it.

    So many of my iPhone fan friends have said “Oh, you finally made the switch, you’re going to love it” after I recently bought my first iPhone.

    It’s a phone. It did not magically transform my user experience. It’s 95% similar to what I had on a Pixel. Better low-effort privacy. Better direct hardware access for music and video. Significantly more lag, app freezups, and fragility and some baffling user experience decisions.

    I would switch back again, or not, doesn’t matter.
