If YouTube started operating as an ISP, then a common carrier designation might be appropriate. Of course, you could say the same thing about General Motors.

Similarly, there are politicians in Georgia (and likely others) that are threatening Delta for ending their NRA discount, as an attack on the second amendment.

Would you support youtube being a common carrier?

The pearl-clutchiest, Bible-thumpiest religious zealots almost never understand their own religion.

People that are constantly arguing that their 1st Amendment rights are being trampled on usually don’t understand the 1st Amendment.

Fair point. I cede the floor.

Yes, but no one fucking cares enough to do anything about it. It’s #MAGA or bust.

This isn’t accurate. Queer is absolutely a term used by all manner of people in the LGBTQ community. Politely, your anecdotal evidence doesn’t mean much. Also, I’m sensing some bi-erasure with your comment about “actual” gay people, and the insinuation that bi people can somehow avoid being the target of slurs.

The Republican governor and the Republican city manager poisoned the city, “But they have Democratic council members! It’s not our fault!” It’s like running over a pedestrian with your car and then trying to tell the cop “No, but there was another guy riding a bicycle at the time, you should blame him!”

Yet they did not have the lead issue until a conservative city manager and governor decided to switch the water source.

And then we got stuck with Scott Pruitt as head of the EPA. I wish he could look her in the face and discuss the job-destroying EPA with a straight face.

You keep fighting, Mari.

Can you imagine if Obama visited a building with a 666 address? Even if it was to use the bathroom? That’d be enough for Alex jones and evangelicals to storm the White House in a flood of flabby white insanity.

Ooo...Ooo....I wanna play too! In the 90's, I was the only female driver/mechanic at a proving ground facility for an auto manufacturer. My supervisor was a pig of a man. Constantly sexually harassing the female drivers. When he got to me, I went above his head and tried to file a complaint. I was told to file it with…

Ah, well in that case, I have a similar story. I once had a boss who asked me, since I was married, why hadn’t I had kids yet? And then said “Don’t you think you’d be much happier at home with kids?” And proceeded with a long speech about how women are just so much happier at home with kids than they are at work. I…

When I was a young woman, just starting my career, a middle-aged white man gave me this very helpful advice for being a woman in the workplace: “You should use your body to get ahead, while you are still young enough that men are interested in it.”

Thank god! There’s never any men to speak for us, to really know what we want, you know?

Well, actually, one needs to lead with “Well, actually,” in order to man correctly. A “m’lady” close is optional, but is there any reason not to aim for maximum patronization, m’lady?

Apropos of nothing, everytime I read “Givenchy” I think of The Grinch.

Y’know, I am willing to bet that there are charismatic, handsome fat dudes out there who are absolutely killing it. But three years ago, when I slept around a lot, I never once had sex with a fat dude.
