I assign specific ring tones to people who actually call me, such as family, friends, the dentist, my mechanic, etc. Then when I hear the generic ring tone, I know I can just ignore the phone. I let the call go to voicemail, and most of the time, there is no voice mail.

Nope, intersex people are actually common, just as common as red heads, around 1.7% . Do you think those with blue eyes also have an abnormal condition since it was a mutation?
Again, don't care for your intersexism. And once again, I am asking, which of the several categories of sex are we referring to? Chromosomal, gonadal, morphological, endocrinologic? Intersex people's sex changes drastically depending on that category you're using.

Many seniors--people in their seventies and eighties--just think they have to answer every call. So they do. Seniors are favorite targets of scammers, because they are law abiding, polite, and sometimes easily confused. The scammers hope they can find someone with borderline dementia.

The more calls you answer, the more they will continue to call.

There is a neat feature on the iphone to silence calls from numbers that are not on your contact list. I do this. Not the best solutions, like if you are looking for a job and waiting on a call, or a doctors office where they dont call back on the main line, if it is important, they will leave a voice mail.

​

95% of my silenced calls dont leave a message, I assume they are spam "car warranty" or "I want to buy your house!" type crap.

​

Do not "decline" the call on your phone or watch. I believe this hangs up on the call, which in turn signals back to the caller that it is a valid number. They use auto-dialers that just call 603-555-1111, 603-555-1112, 603-555-1113 etc until someone answers, then the call is routed to a phone rep who reads the script (or a recording is played). If it is a valid number, they will keep calling.

(I started using the silence unknown numbers feature during the election when my phone was blowing up)

Get an air horn, then answer them.... I've also found queuing a particularly loud, and screamy clip from a B horror movie helps decrease these calls.

Edit: I have the track "Friday The 13th" by Figure saved, and set to the point where it goes "Jason Voorhees is dead..." and a very abrasive "drop" at a moments notice, I answer spam calls, and often play this.
My spam calls have decreased.

Not recently, they don't like me anymore though. Last time, I was able to gather enough information to send a demand letter, and we settled for quite a bit of cash. Now I welcome them! Can't do anything about overseas scammers though.

Lol nice job with the terf rhetoric. There’s no such thing as “biological man” man is a descriptor for adult male, which begs the question; at what point does someone become a man? The day they turn 18, or based on development, and at what point then? If based on the day they turn 18, then that’s not very biological as bodies develop at different rates, it would be social. Man is a social category and cannot be biological. Either way, I highly doubt you give a fuck what cis women want, you just want to be transphobic.
