Yep. Because some users are so terribly inexperienced that they actually think surprise kissing a girl you hardly know without consent is a good idea.

There are times on this forum that I really can't tell the troll posts from the serious posts. o______________o

With the odd troll throwing in dangerous advice for fun. I mean, it's certainly entertaining to read, if nothing else.

This is what happens when the painfully inexperienced try to give suggestions that they learned from movies.

Do.  Not.  Do.  This. o____o

Um, yes? In fact, that is exactly what I would do, because I don't very much like people kissing me even under better circumstances, and I am well within my rights to say I don't like it. I doubt I would press charges or anything that severe, but you can bet they would receive a verbal lashing at least.

Here's the thing - that might have worked in 1997.
 
But in 2018, with consent as such a hot topic? This is a bad idea. She might be a girl who likes that kind of spontaneous romance. Or she might feel violated because she didn't consent to him kissing her.
 
Yes there are definitely "unspoken moments" in romance where the body language and the situation demand that one kiss the other without asking for consent - this is implied consent. Still "grey" in some circles, but largely accepted by society still.
 
But just going up and unexpectedly kissing her could actually leave him in legal trouble.

Don't do this. This is sexual assault. If you want to know if she likes you ask. It is easy. Use words.

Well I'm not disagreeing with that, just saying your statement about the US being the only country is not correct because I can in fact say New Zealand has it too.

Well that's just not true, most democratic countries have freedom of speech/expression. Also most other countries have Constitutions as well, they just aren't required to come up local conversation. America doesn't actually have more special rights than other similar countries, we just don't like to continuously tell everyone about it.
 
 
New Zealand is also ranked the most transparent government in the world and also the least corrupt country in the world. Australia in a lot of ways is similar as well, those are the only two countries I can speak directly about but most of Europe I'd suspect is similar as well.
 
I'll leave it at that since political discussion is not allowed, but I'd rather you not think something that isn't actually true.

Thread cleaned. Personal attacks and baiting comments will be removed and warnings issued.

this Article from AppleInsider is just a sad fanboy on his fanboy site who has never ventured further than Apple to actually see what the Tech industry really is.

I'm no genius but generally when you offer to pay for a repair, the company will start the repair.
 
Or atleast, that's my experience on "how the service system works"

You make me sad  I never go without SSDs anymore these days.. Hell, my 250$ HTPC with a G4400 has a NVMe SSD in it for boot lol. 

omg really?  You should try it some time, the 21st century is ready and waiting for you to join

Really depends on your individual needs. Most of fuji's lenses are great, some small pointers from someone who has done the research themselves: 
 
1. The older designs (23, 35 f/1.4, 18mm f/2, 27mm f/2.8 etc. tend to be slower, with varying degrees)
2. I have been told to stay away from the 18mm f/2 and 14mm f/2.8, the first is supposedly very bad and the second is outperformed optically by the 10-24mm, unless you need f/2.8 that is. 
3. The newer f/2 WR lenses are amazing. 23mm, 35mm, 50mm, 90mm (there may be some I'm forgetting). The f/2 might put some people off as too narrow, but its just fine. That said, if you want a portrait lens, the 56mm f/1.2 is the best option, although the 50mm is faster and much lighter. 
4. The 18-55mm f/2.8-4.0 OIS and 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 are not your typical kit lenses. In fact considering weight, size and price, with the exception of real professional use, they are preferable to the 16-55 f.2.8 and 50-140. Just don't go for the 16-50mm. 
5. the 16mm f/1.4 is simply amazing. 
 
I would steer anyone entering the fuji system towards the primes personally, simply because it imo fits the shooting style more. I don't personally want or need anything more than the 23mm and 50mm, although a wideangle is nice, but I mostly use it for travelling and some street stuff and use my Canon stuff for anything else. If you are looking for a first lens, the 18-55mm is probably the way to go, if this will be your only system, then I'd get something like an 85mm equivalent, 35mm equivalent or wideangle depending on what you shoot.
 
I'm not that well versed in Sony glass, so I'll leave it to someone else to talk about. 

I don’t know much about the fuji lenses but for Sony there are some sweet options for lenses finally. Now, it all depends on budget and how large lenses you can live with, but I will point out a few I’d consider very good and worth getting if you need something in that focal length. 
 
FE 70-200 f/4, this is a nobrainer if you need a tele and have a decent budget. Goes for around 900US used now.  Any Sigma ART lens, most costs around 600-700US new and are well made. If you need a fast prime I’d look at those first.  The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and 30mm f/1.4 Contemporary lenses. Both amazing value and slightly smaller than the ART lenses. Costs ~300-400 new.  Sony FE 55 f/1.8, loved by many as a great portrait lens.  18-105 f/4, solid allround zoom for decent price.  20mm f/2.8, cheap wide angle prime, good results.  Sigma 60mm f/2.8, very sharp and nice to use.  18-135 f/3.5-f/5.6, good lens if you only want ”one” that doesn’t cost too much.  Sony 35 f/1.8, nice prime Samyang 12mm f/2, wide angle prime, sharp but lacks AF. Would chose this over the 14mm as you can more easily use filters on this one Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5, supposodly very good, no AF but is very small and high quality. Can be found used for 400US  
Stay away from the cheap zooms if you can and the ”older” Sony E mount lenses as the 18-55, 16 f/2.8, 50 f/1.8 for example. The new ones are much better. The kit zoom is pretty horrible too, I hate when I have to use mine. Primes are amazing on the Sony system as you can get a very small setup. The a6xxx bodies with the 20mm f/2.8 pancake lens is so small. 
 
There is a bit of lack in dedicated aps-c size glass but the full frame variants work flawless but are heavier and larger. 
 
If I’d pick three lenses I’d get these, Sigma 16 f/1.4, Sony FE 70-200 f/4 and the Sigma ART 50 f/1.8 or the Sony FE 85 f/1.8. These would be ideal for what I shoot but maybe not for you, although this kit covers a good range and usability imo. 
 
70-200 for action sports and wildlife, 16 f/1.4 for landscapes and action sports, 50 f1.4 and/or 85 f1.8 for portraits

Cache and memory improvements don't increase the number of instructions per clock but do decrease the time the core is waiting for data. This results in a gain in performance.

That's piracy.
