Their point is that the old phone cords saw a lot more use than USB chargers and they still stood up to all the abuse.
USB charge cables are mostly employed when the device is not in use and is just charging. Land line cords were always attached and often saw a lot of activity with people pacing while on the phone or playing eith the cord.
That's a gross level of smug paired with some backhanded mysogyny.
No it's not. And misogyny? Wtf? ... I just see people everywhere treating their things like shit. People everywhere with thousand-dollar phones with cracked screens, yet I've never broken a single screen on a phone. It's not hard to look after things... But I guess people like you just have more money than sense.
Your smug superiority is really gross.
Your assumption that I'm smug is gross. I just grew up in a pretty poor family and taking good care of our things was ingrained, for obvious reasons. It always seems crazy to me how many people abuse and have no respect for their possessions.
