Consumers have gone broke and you don't get an Apple Obamaphone.

They're probably not as bad as HP, but if you have to resort to praise like that then they are terrible.

You want to talk about primitive, let's talk about fire.

It is a horribly wasteful method of getting energy into things.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not about to stop cooking my steaks with it, there are times when it's great. But given the basic issues with using fire I want to avoid it whenever it's not adding anything to the end result.

There's a reason steel plants use induction.

I have a friend who had that happen several times. Although she is quite straight and cis, she has a shaved head, and security guards have gotten mad at her for going to the "wrong" bathroom.

Sometimes you can see through the cracks in the stalls, and that really worries some people.

You can be first to eat a caterpillar steak or whatever

Sexual predators dressed as men can walk RIGHT INTO women's bathrooms and assault them. Nothing is preventing it. As such your idea is stupid and you should feel stupid.

Your theory would make sense if the majority or even a significant number of bathrooms had some kind of controls over who could enter them based on apparent gender. But for the vast majority of bathrooms in the world, or in the US, or in fact in any place you can name, there are no such controls.

As such, the idea that not letting people with penises [claim to*] be women and use women's bathrooms protects women from being sexually assaulted is, frankly, spectacularly stupid. Men dressed as men can just walk into them and rape women. In fact, it happens dramatically more frequently than a chick with a dick doing it.

* It doesn't matter which for the purposes of this argument, and I'm not interested in having that debate in this thread

"This comment reflects what many people have been too afraid to voice."

Uh, no.

They are not afraid to voice it at all. We know this because they won't shut the fuck up about it. They're worse than vegans.

"The suffix "phobic" suggests people are afraid. They are not; They are disgusted."

They are disgusted because they are afraid of things they don't understand.

The root is still fear.

You prefer to be ignorant? On brand.

Either way the artists usually get fucked. They get roughly dick from album sales too.

If you want them to get money, download their music, then go see them in concert. If you can find a show at a venue where Ticketmaster isn't eating it all, that is.
