IT seems you've already chosen, for yourself, to not read anything. Clearly, you don't need white cis males to decide that for you; if you did, you'd see that many of us would decide you should read as much as you can. The post you replied to with such angst (and ignorance) would be a good starting point.
Most sexual predators don't seem to be sexual predators until they're drugging and raping you. They're good at hiding it, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for them to practice their craft as they'd be spotted from a mile away and avoided.
I say this as a (male) victim (of a female), myself. Yes, the knife does cut both ways. And no, I don't hate or avoid women for it; I just recognize the fact that the crazies and the sickos among us are very good at hiding their proclivities until the moment when they've chosen to victimize you.
The problem is that the one irritating person in the group of 100 gets everyone's attention. Nobody notices the 99 members of the group who aren't annoying pieces of shit.
This is just basic reality, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. This is also why it's important to treat people based on their words and actions, and not what they identify as. If the "normal" (for whatever that means) majority of the LGBT community would stand up, after the vocal sick minority, and declare "they are not one of us, we are not like them" rather than accepting them "because they identify as us", there would be a lot less hate toward the lot of them from people who don't know better.
This is called education and it is up to them to be the educators of those who are ignorant of their reality. As an outsider to their world, people like you me cannot widely educate the ignorant on their behalf, because the ignorant simply turn around and call us ignorant (being outsiders and all), declare themselves right, and go on hating.
Some of my best friends are as gay as the day is long. These are people who would bend over backwards (or forward, I'm sure) for me in my time of need. These are people who, yes, joke about trying to "turn" me but still respect me and my sexuality as a straight male (any my marriage, for that matter) and, therefore, deserve my respect as well. These are, above all else, people; they do deserve to be treated based on their individual actions, and not on the actions of a few sick and twisted individuals who have chosen to usurp their political, social, and gender identities.
But, again, it's up to them to make themselves heard and let themselves be seen by the larger audience the sick and twisted individuals foist themselves upon. The best thing you can do for your LBGT friends is to make sure they understand this, and make sure they know they have your support.
I actually forgot about this, thanks for bringing it up. Yet another reason to leave your phone at home (or lend it to a friend who won't be anywhere nearby) before you go on your crime spree.
I only phrase it that way because millennials simply can't be without their precious phone for long enough to commit even the simplest of crimes, so the suggestion might actually reduce the crime rate a bit.
GPS still works in airplane mode, as it receives a signal, rather than broadcasting one. You think Location Services doesn't log that shit and upload it when you turn airplane mode off?
It also depends how many words Facebook will suggest at a time. If that limit is 4 and the full suggestion is "video of little girl giving oral report", all you'd see after "video of" is what's in the summary. It could (but probably is not) just be a case of people getting enraged before actually investigating the situation.
That's the same thing Android has (Settings -> Apps, or long-press on an app and choose App Info) and you can enable and disable permissions there, as well. It's also not what was being asked for.
Oh, if that's all we're talking about, long-press on any app (Mac users should be familiar with this from the one-button mouse days), choose App Info from the resulting dropdown, and it's right there under the App Settings heading. Been there for a couple major versions by now, at least; you can even turn permissions on and off.
You can also go to Settings -> Apps and tap on any app to get the this same screen.
Please, please, please do stay clear of sodium. Completely avoid that critical nutrient so we don't have to put up with you for much longer than a few more days.
Or at least know what the hell you're talking about before you dole out what some might construe as medical advice.
I'm not sure how this is redundant but... I might as well also add that the current iPad models, which have a headphone jack, are a full 1.2mm thinner than the current iPhone models which do not. 1.6mm if you prefer the iPhone X.
I don't buy that ditching the 3.5mm connector makes devices thinner when the ones without it are 18% (or more) thicker. Of course, you're welcome to buy whatever you want; I just want you to know that if you buy that excuse, you're getting a load of bullshit.
Google also lets other manufacturers make Android phones, some of which have headphone jacks built right in (what a novel idea), so I have the option of foregoing the dongle, if I don't want to deal with it. If I want a current-model phone running iOS, I don't have that option.
I'm glad I prefer Android on my phone, and I hope Apple keeps the headphone jack on the iPad.
I keep hearing that Apple did away with the headphone jack to make the phone thinner but that really doesn't hold water when the 6.1mm thick iPad has a jack and the 7.3mm thick iPhone does not.
You can't plug a female jack into a female jack; you need another cable for the car stereo. The newly-allowed configuration would be a single cable. It's silly, yes, but that's the difference.
The surface-mount implementation of the lightning jack measures more than 3.5mm thick (the cable-end version is 3.4mm thick) and requires that the case be soldered flat to the board for stability, so it can't be installed in a cut-out in the board.
Meanwhile, there exist 3.5mm headphone jacks which exploit the fact that the plug is cylindrical and only have material on two sides, making them exactly 3.5mm thick. The recommended installation for these is in a cut-out in the board, to keep them from spreading open over time. I used to have an MP3 player that used one of these jacks, but it (the device, not the jack) became obsolete a few years ago, having been made in the late 90's.
So now we have the 3.6mm-plus-board-thickness Lightning jack and the 3.5mm-and-sits-in-a-board-cutout 3.5mm jack, and you still believe you can make the phone thinner with lightning?
You interested in owning any bridges or well known skyscrapers, by chance?
Apple used a fair bit of doublespeak to make it sound like that's what they were saying, and it does make sense absent their own explanation of how the sensor works. The sensor generates a hash and sends that hash to the secure enclave, where a comparison is done and a "match/no-match" response is given to the CPU; at least, according to Apple. So, if they did, indeed, say what you say they said... they're lying. They're either lying about why Error 53 was implemented, or they're lying about how the fingerprint sensor works. One way or the other, they're lying... or you're wrong.
If you're wrong, they don't have that argument. If they're lying, that will come out as well when Apple complies with the legal demands which are currently being made of them. Either way, it doesn't hold up in their favor.
So I asked you, which proprietary tools are required to fix a smartphone?
By your hostility I'm thinking maybe you can't think of one?
Oh, but he already gave you one:
But, to answer your question with just one example, you can't replace the TouchID fingerprint sensor on an iPhone without a special Apple tool/software.
"Common side effects include [30 things worse than what the drug is treating, which they also sell drugs to treat]" is my favorite. If they're common, you're sure to have at least one of them and, if they're worse than what you're treating, you're better off not taking the medication in the first place.
In the US you buy weapons like you would buy a hammer or a box of nails... it is sick!
I've never had to provide two forms of ID, fill out a form to authorize a background check, pass a safety test, then wait 30 days to buy a hammer or a box of nails. I had to do all of that when I bought my 1911, and again when I bought my Buckmark.
Any civilized country does not allow anyone to just walk in from the damn street and buy 6 fully automatic rifles along with a box of shie polish!
Then you should count the US among civilized countries; and learn to spell "shoe".

What's anomalous about being at home or hanging out with a friend?
Wait, I forgot where I was posting. Yes, for many of you, it might be a bit odd for you to leave your mom's basement or even have a friend.
I actually forgot about this, thanks for bringing it up. Yet another reason to leave your phone at home (or lend it to a friend who won't be anywhere nearby) before you go on your crime spree.
I only phrase it that way because millennials simply can't be without their precious phone for long enough to commit even the simplest of crimes, so the suggestion might actually reduce the crime rate a bit.

Honest question: Where can I find this in iOS?
Please, please, please do stay clear of sodium. Completely avoid that critical nutrient so we don't have to put up with you for much longer than a few more days.
Or at least know what the hell you're talking about before you dole out what some might construe as medical advice.
So just encr.....oh.
Indeed. I love my S8+ and its headphone jack. The extra 0.6mm of battery helps it outlast my wife's iPhone 8 Plus every single day.
I'm not sure how this is redundant but... I might as well also add that the current iPad models, which have a headphone jack, are a full 1.2mm thinner than the current iPhone models which do not. 1.6mm if you prefer the iPhone X.
I don't buy that ditching the 3.5mm connector makes devices thinner when the ones without it are 18% (or more) thicker. Of course, you're welcome to buy whatever you want; I just want you to know that if you buy that excuse, you're getting a load of bullshit.
I can find the Apple adapters for $17 (or even more) on Amazon, as well. Google sells one for $9, just like Apple. Amazon also sells 2-pack for $11, one with charging capabilities for $9, and a slew of others that start out pretty cheap.
Google also lets other manufacturers make Android phones, some of which have headphone jacks built right in (what a novel idea), so I have the option of foregoing the dongle, if I don't want to deal with it. If I want a current-model phone running iOS, I don't have that option.

After getting a good pair of studio monitors I would never go back to Bluetooth headphones.

To be fair, the male users wanted to find something soft and probably wet.
