WTF are you talking about? My USB-C connector is all curves and no corners.

>Look at the bottom of someone's Samsung phone, there's little scratches around the connector.

That person sounds incompetent.

>USB-C has a tongue in the middle, which can and does get damaged

That's actually the only reason Lightning is superior to USB-C. However, I never had an issue with the connector.

>A single post filled with emojis and hashtags like #saveusbradpitt on someone's personal account, and then being raided within 3 hours, is not anywhere close to an appropriate response.

1 - You know that he's not the only one to post bullshit related to covid-19, right? There have been a shit ton of post on multiple social media platforms about "authorities turning tyrannical and kill people because covid-19" and most of them were totally serious.
2 - The article says "emoji", but doesn't elaborate and that can make a huge difference. There's a big difference between ๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿ”ซ ๐Ÿ‘ฎand ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ for example. They don't convey the same meaning at all.

>We have bigger problems than Covid if people can be incited to attack police officers over a comment regarding imaginary monsters.

Well, yeah. You have a big problem of people believing stupid shit like that. Remember pizza-gate? January 6th? The Michigan governor kidnapping plot?

>Bombs are real. Fires are real. Zombies don't exist.

1 - He never said police officiers were shooting zombies. He only made a comparison with police officers shooting zombies.

2 - The earth isn't flat, covid-19 isn't fake, essential oils don't cure cancer, dnd isn't a gateway to satanism, god isn't real and yet there's a lot of people people that believe the opposite of all of these things. Stop assuming people aren't stupid and gullible because that's not true. They are stupid and they are gullible.

Pretty much, yeah. That "joke" was made during a time where everyone was on edge about covid-19. Even if it's just intended to be a joke, what he said is very likely to incite some people to attack police officers. Assuming it really was a joke, I think the police response was exaggerated, but I still think they should have done something (warning maybe?).

>I'm really confused... the post said that the police would shoot people with covid? So he's not saying people should shoot the police, right? What exactly would this post incite? People staying away from police?

This is like saying that the orange man didn't cause January 6th because he never explicitly said to besiege the capitol. Of course he didn't say to shoot the police, but saying that the police shoot people on sight during a pandemic is very likely to incite the 2nd amendment absolutists to hunt down police officers.
