When I see stupid shite like the pronouns, I just laugh at them, doesn't upset my day for someone else to fall for a joke.

I think it has something to do with all the body mutilations, tats and piercings. It has changed the valence of their bodies so that no new brain neurons can form.

Just ignore millidiots, the folly of their ways will have a dear price in the future.

Eh, there are some pros and cons to all the operating systems out there.

If you have Apple products throughout they tend to play well together, which I like.

I could go Android but it would just be a bunch of work for me to do it.

I was attracted to Google phones but they are a company I would rather not support.

You sound really intelligent.



It doesn't matter how you wear it, it doesn't do jack shite. Ask your Lord Fauci, he says the same thing in the new emails they have.

I mean we keep saying this but more and more corporations and governing bodies are starting to toe the line. I don’t think it’s crazy for people the verbalize how stupid it is. More people should probably speak against the insanity.

Right, you aren’t in California. But do you understand store’s can make their own policies?

Apple will really learn their lesson by you not going into their stores but continuing to give them your money. Got em!

Between the idiotic continued mask policy and the workers with Pronouns on their name tags it will be a long time until I set foot in that place again.
I hope that one day you'll find the strength to persevere and get through this traumatic experience for you.

And yet I went into a bakery, and there were 2 Apple guys (still had their pronoun badges on) holding hands screaming at the baker about why he won't bake them a gay cake. BTW, they didn't immediately leave.

LoL

The hypocrisy you gays exhibit is beyond hilarious.


This hypocrisy goes both ways.

Liberal: “just bake the damn cake!”
Conservative: “Private business. Against our policy. I don’t have to!”

Conservative: “Just let me shop without a mask!”
Liberal: “Private business. Against our policy. I don’t have to!”

I'm making do but this thread has certainly helped calm me down from the trauma I experienced.

Thanks for caring.

We all should, probably would only take a swing of 2-3% of lost sales due to wokeness to topple this movement as these companies have shareholders to answer to.

Unfortunately conservatives (myself included) are too comfortable with our lifestyle of Starbucks, Facebook, Apple, etc. to drop these companies and their products.

Slight edit here. This is the operative distinction in the cake baker matter. Bakerman based his position on "free exercise of religion", as specifically protected by the BOR.

Thanks. I got a 12 pro! I do like the hardware and I was coming from a 6S (yeah, I know) so it was quite an upgrade.

I was excited about getting it which led me to do the pickup instead of waiting for it to ship.

Sure, and I have a right to bitch.

I am not suggesting giving up a product you need or want over ridiculous SJW policies. I am suggesting letting the company know they are full of shite and you don't care for their policies to perhaps foster change.

Which I did in person and also in the CS survey they sent after the pickup.

I guess I could return the phone and use smoke signals and fire up a telegraph too, that would really show them I bet.

Idk what’s more retarded. Putting pronouns on your name tag or letting it upset you.

Yeah I get it.

I'm not going to punish myself just because I think a companies policies suck.

I'm more inclined to complain. If enough people complain maybe they change.
