If your account is disabled because they suspect you are actually an identity thief who stole the account, they probably don't want to tell you what gave you away.
"We flagged you for fraud because you bought 10% more than normal within 24 hours of changing your billing address" is not required. "Fraud alert" would be infinitely more than this guy claims he was told, and would give away nothing.
There was a path to correct it. The story is newsworthy because for some reason the normal way to correct the problem wasn't working.
If the path to correct it is blocked, one could argue that the path no longer exists.
Move to another city and it might look like you are an identity thief; then, one Apple employee screws up and you might be rejected in the appeal.
I have three accounts loaded on my phone right now, each of them from a different country, two of them with the same payment, only one of the accounts has a payment from the same country as the account. Apple has never complained.
Please explain what not-racist feelings would inspire his statement?
I don't need to. I'm just pointing out that he's accused of "overt" racism, without proof or even reasonable support of that position. He's obviously racist, but that doesn't mean I can't call out his detractors for lies about him. That doesn't mean I like him, or support him, or those that appoint him. It just means that those from both sides need to stop lying.
Numbers don't lie. But the people presenting them to push their political agenda do. An innocent Black man is more likely to be convicted than an innocent white man. A guilty Black man is more likely to be convicted than an guilty white man.
The racists will quote the statistics that Black men are more likely to be convicted. The anti-racists will point out that racism in the system measured will result in racism in "the numbers".
Are you saying that Bannon has now publicly apologized for he previous opinions and is now pro-diversity and pro-equal rights?
No. I'm saying that Bannon has not publicly announced his opinions. Please link to such declarations by him. That's all I've asked for, but apparently asking for a cite for such an obvious thing makes me Hitler.
I'm not defending racism. Calling a liar out on an obvious lie is apparently unacceptable when you don't like the person being lied about.
I've expressed no opinion on Bannon. I simply asked for proof, when someone claimed it existed. No more. That this demonstrates some personal belief is your idiotic and quite incorrect assumption.
I call out "my side" on lies as much as I call out "the other side". If you don't, you are a lying hypocrite.
I bet you defended Trump when people claimed he was a misogynist until ACTUAL VIDEO appeared proving it.
You are a lying sack of shit. I never defended Trump, ever. I'm not defending Bannon. I'm asking for the smoking gun that someone claimed existed. Yes, there's circumstantial evidence. I'm not commenting on that. I'm saying that if someone lies to claim he's said things he's never said, then they are a liar.
That calling out an obvious lie as being a lie means I believe the opposite of the liar is simply false. My opinion on Bannon is irrelevant to the initial lie that there's a well documented trail of overtly racist things said by Bannon (not his paper, not his wife, but him).
If it exists, link to it. If it doesn't, you should apologize (though I doubt you'd do the right thing).
What's not true? He may be evil, but if you were to call Trump a purple monster, I'd correct you that most call him orange, not purple.
Your answer is "you are wrong. The facts don't matter. My opinion is more correct than any facts you could present." Though you didn't mention where I was wrong, nor what the truth is, only that it doesn't matter to you.
He is in a position to direct the paper to stop being racist, and doesn't.
Being an active anti-racist and being a passive "don't care, so long as it brings the money in" are exactly the same thing?
Further, it was when he took over that it took hard racist turn. He doesn't just passively profit from racism (though that would be bad enough, honestly), he actively directs it.
If he had no soul and was a sociopath, why wouldn't he take money for something he doesn't believe in? You've asserted he has a lack of character, so how would it be a jump that he profits from other's misery
I don't get why people want to defend someone like Bannon, unless they also are misogynists and racists. And if they are, why don't they just say so rather than trying to claim he's not?
I'm not defending him. I'm just stating that, as a disinterested observer, the "he's a racist, and he's said many racist things" claims seem to be unsupported.
IBM wasn't racist. But IBM sold machines to the Nazis that helped count and kill the Jews. So IBM is racist. By your logic, anyone who likes the Model M keyboard must be a Nazi.
But, of course, asking anyone about their accusations is the same as affirmatively asserting the opposite of the stated position.
Bill Gates ran a company that sold Operating Systems. That didn't make him one.
Many of the conservative talkshow hosts have indicated that they don't necessarily believe all (or even any) of what they say, but that they follow the money. If he had no soul and was a sociopath, why wouldn't he take money for something he doesn't believe in?
Conservative America wouldn't "throw down". 99% of them are in love with Leave it to Beaver, and have no stomach for what the alt-right claims Conservative Americans stand for. They just want a simpler time when it was easy for a college-educated white man to hold a single job and provide for a family as the sole bread winner. They don't want the racism, sexism, and everything else, but would tolerate it if required to get the dream back.
Turn it into a civil war and 99% of the conservatives will back off. Sure, the 1% left would bring it like the gun-toting craze people they are, but nothing turns a Conservative military person Liberal like having to deal with VA, then watching the "pro-military conservatives" cut funding, yet again. The currently serving cops and military may be conservative, but many ex-military (still with guns and such) have "turned" liberal. I think the conservatives would expect an easy time of it, and would have their ass handed to them.
A "melting pot" is a tossed salad. Sure, the tomatoes are touching lettuce, but they are still 100% tomatoes. Sometimes the tomatoes end up clumping together, but it's still a salad.
That he's a wife-beater doesn't make him racist. That he profits from a racist newspaper doesn't make him racist. The only "quotes" I've seen attributed to him were all penned by someone else, then attributed to him.http://heavy.com/news/2016/11/steve-bannon-stephen-steven-quotes-trump-racist-alt-right-allegations-jew-jewish-anti-semitism-israel-breitbart-divorce-white-nationalism/ and many others accuse him of being evil, but none give quotes in his own words that are directly racist. Sure, a few have a tinge or dog whistle, but none are overtly racist. You'd think if it was so obvious, someone would be able to provide a quote.
I saw the interviews with the Trump supporters that said it. Unless you are saying Fox News is a fiction station (as well as the "liberal media" that you'd dismss if I cited them as well).
The Constitution acknowledges all rights and freedoms belong to the people as gifted by their Creator,
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - Declaration of Independence
Nope. The Constitution doesn't acknowledge anything of the kind. The reference to Creator is in the Declaration of Independence. When you learn the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, feel free to come back here and try again at the adult table.
Sending a tweet is not "harassment" just because you disagree with it.
I never said I disagreed with it. I never said tweets are harassment. The thread went off into more general discussion on rights, and the application thereof.
Is it your stance that no tweet or series of tweets could ever constitute harassment? If not, what is your stance on harassment on Twitter?
People need to be free to be total assholes so long as they are not physically harming others.
Why do you think there is no harm other than "physical"? Are you saying that emotional abuse is impossible, as it isn't "harm"? How about fraud? That's just speech.
The timeline is well explained in some of the stories. If you don't understand, that's a personal fault of yours, and in no way affects the well documented incident (with medical reports, and confirmation/denials from Apple) all consistent and well explained.
Three left gather for dinner, and the cops burst in and arrest them for rioting. Funny how when Randy Weaver has an encounter with cops, they are "jackbooted thugs" but when a peaceful protest is stormed by armed police instigating violence, it's about those "rioting thugs".
Modern horns are externally mounted speakers, and do just fine, in most case with essentially zero protection from the elements (mounted in front of the radiator where many get wet even parked in the rain)
