You, have ceased to exist in my world. You don't deserve my time. You don't deserve...air. Have a nice life, if you're lucky, maybe China will take over the US.


Heh.

What you obviously consider a win, should realistically be considered infantile behavior.
I keep giving you the benefit of the doubt, erroneously it seems. :/

A Hawaii state lawmaker announced plans Monday to introduce a bill that would require the state to explore the feasibility of creating and supporting locally owned broadband networks that do not rely on traditional internet service providers.

Kaniela Ing, a state representative who recently announced his intention to run for Congress, told me that in order to protect net neutrality in a way that is unlikely to be preempted by the Federal Communications Commission, he believes the state can incentivize the creation of locally owned internet infrastructure.

I just don't understand why the freedom loving white-makes-right wing and libertarians are so dead against net neutrality. It seems to me to be literally against what they believe. Perhaps one could explain this to me?

How would you know if he is mate? You act like card_sultan on crack most of the time. You're probably the most irrational regular we have.

on a number of issues in the past few years GOP members have been forced for the first time to choose between principals. they had a good few decades where someone could for example be in favor generally of states rights and financial responsibility. Then an issue like Trans bathroom laws comes along, "WE LOVE STATES RIGHTS!", but the legal challenges and lost income will be high, "WE CANT HEAR U". That's not even touching the whole victimless crimes principal. Net neutrality pins personal freedom against corporate trickle down econ. They lie about this offering more freedom, imply the worst case scenarios (while possible) arent likely, and lie about monopolies. this helps the rectify what otherwise would be a crisis of principles. Insurance is no different, no one disagrees that we'd all pay less on average per person and less people would die if we went to a single payer, but that's "communism" and "taxes r theft", slippery slope, etc.

watching the right split over decisions is great, they had 8 years of pure opposition easy buttons to push. governing is a lot harder. but the tl;dr is ofc they arent abandoning principals altogether just sacrificing them for another principal. that thing they said they didnt ever have to do for years.

What a wild ride of a story. I went from:

"wait whats going on"

"who is this guy"

"wait WHY DID MTG BAN HIM, what sjw cucks"

(looks guy up)

"oh MTG prob did the right thing"


Dude posts photos of people without their permission, especially women to make fun of how few there are at MTG events. Also personally criticizes Wizards a lot, while not illegal its bad business. Dont bite the hand that feeds you. Look at how blizzard handles content creators that shit on them and realize being edgy is a calculated business decision. You dont have the rights to stream someone elses created content at will just because you paid for the game, thats where were at with the case law. the internet is drawing in on itself now, so its not likely that type of absolute personal freedom is coming. Honestly the guys alt right personality is something i think was a meme, and i find it funny Breitbart took up his torch. Its a credit to how many leftists this guy trolled, if he is memery for laughs. they even mention, then downplay, that this guy likely has left leaning politics. Seems like a good business decision and a bad one by the content creator. This does almost nothing for Wizards bottom line, but is a cheap PR win among a crowd that eats this shit up. And any alt right MTG players arent quitting their cardboard crack addiction over this, especially with how online play works and how they have your investment locked up.

they tried to draw a case the MTG was erroneously extending their ToS to each player's life. when in reality it was a player who violated the ToS at an MTG event. (sharing public photos without permission to 140k+ followers) Just another "we should have freedoms that we totally dont have in the constitution, because constitution" breitbart article. as u said, right in line with their "u cant fire me for saying ______ on facebook" narrative.

its almost like splitting your customer base and criticizing your largest endorsement partner isnt a good idea. Whacky stuff!

The Tribune explains, “Shares of Papa John’s are down about 13 percent since the day before the NFL comments were made, reducing the value of Schnatter’s stake in the company by nearly $84 million. Schnatter owns nearly 9.5 million shares of Papa John’s International Inc., and his total stake was valued at more than $560 million on Thursday, according to FactSet. The company’s stock is down 30 percent since the beginning of the year.”
