I’m not disagreeing, just pointing out that it is likely not as big of an issue as people make it.

This guy gets it!
A quick search suggests that a 2 minute charge will provide a few hours of use, while it takes about 2 hours to charge it fully. Whether that is acceptable or not is up to the user, of course. But to me that seems pretty reasonable. Though none of this really matters for me, as I don’t use mice.
Is there really a market for people who want the thinnest phone possible? I thought the days of the RAZR V3 and SLVR were of the past?
Judging by the way so many people drive, it might actually be necessary lol
I wonder how long it takes for the firmware update to take place. A few minutes? An hour?
I recognize the community I’m in rn. Just curious about how long it actually takes. I doubt it takes very long, or happens very often.
In a similar vein was the location of the charging port on the Apple mouse. Sure it seems asinine, but you only charge it like once a month, so it really isn’t an actual issue. It was just an excuse to hate on Apple products.
Think of it less as how this specific law will be used to target LGBTQ+ people directly, but as a stepping stone to push for more laws that expand the reach of it to eventually include LGBTQ+ people.
Some may argue that this is quite the leap, but there have been 598 pieces of legislation that have been proposed in 2025 alone, with (luckily) only 66 that have passed, that target LGBTQ+ people.
I am leery when it comes to “protect the children” legislation these days. There always seems to be an ulterior motive behind them.
Perhaps I should clarify “intended effect” as it being a thin veil. They can claim they are doing this to protect children from all predators, while simultaneously repeating the groomers line over and over again.
In my opinion, it seems a little too coincidental that they pass this law in a state that has a very hostile anti-LGBTQ+ stance, while also attempting to portray us as child predators.
It’s possible that I am drawing conclusions incorrectly, but I sincerely doubt it.
Keep in mind that these are the small steps they are taking to get to the point where we are afraid to be seen in public.
At first it’s protect children from learning about LGBTQ+ culture by banning education, removing books (they don’t need to burn the books, they just remove ‘em). All in the name of stopping the spread of a radical agenda. Bear in mind we make up around 1-2% of the population in the US.
Then it is banning healthcare for minors, which consists of support, social transition and possibly puberty blockers. This is to protect the children from being “surgically mutilated”. Never mind the fact that children do not receive trans surgical interventions.
Next comes capital punishment for sex crimes against children. For now, it is reserved for physical sexual assaults.
The latest attempt against trans people was banning all trans healthcare for those on Medicaid. Trans patients account for approximately 0.4% of those on Medicaid. Around 276,000 trans people (as of 2022) out of 71,258,215 total people on Medicaid.
It is not much of a stretch to assume that they will continue to attempt to backdoor their way to banning trans health care for all trans Americans.
What’s after that? Classify presenting a trans, but obfuscated as “drag performances”, in any public setting. The public support of these laws has been from the messaging, by successfully equating drag performances with being based upon indecency. This is limited to 2 states at the moment, but the fact that it is illegal anywhere in the country is deeply disturbing.
In my opinion, they will continue to push further and further to make us fear being clocked (caught) in public, by legislating us into criminality. This may seem like a leap, but overall support for trans people has declined in recent years. While the major drops in support revolve around trans athletes and healthcare for minors, these issues are overblown and are used to erode public opinion of us.
TL;DR: The overall outlook for us right now is not good. I don’t expect ya to follow each link, I just wanted to back up my claims with reliable sources.
Here is an article from 2023 that talks about the first proposed use of such a law in Florida.
Why do you think some states have made sex crimes against children a capital offense? They call trans people groomers and predators. This is literally the intended effect.
I used to stop my microwave a few seconds before it finished, like many others, due to the annoying unstoppable beeps. But then I got this smaller unit that happens to let out the faintest confirmation of doneness that I ever did, or rather almost didn’t, hear. I don’t mind it now.
Capitalism is definitely a major issue. I just don’t see how someone should not be compensated for work they perform, this includes art. Art can be free, but it shouldn’t have to be free. I think we may be saying similar things here.

In the case of capital punishment, I don’t think the intent is for them to actually use the death penalty on us, but to use it as a scare tactic to push us closer to full erasure from public life. To say “look what we could possibly do to you” sort of thing.
