I’m going to assume autocorrect changed psychotic to hardcore with your last comment.

If any company is allowed to zero-rate for free, why make -any- companies request a zero-rating?

Christ, I hope I live to see the day when we unfuck the broadband system in this country. When people recognize that broadband at this point should be a UTILITY handled at the municipal level, we will be a whole lot better off. Comcast might be the worst corporation in the US. I’m trying to think of who might be worse…

They completely left out the part where the CEO’s of carriers gathered and ate the heart of a young boy as a pledge to fight net neutrality.

No, zero rating is all bad. Why? It will lead to more monopolies. How you ask? Like so: Company A is huge and established. Company A pays T-mobile to exempt it’s service from their customers data plans. Company B is small and a start up. Company B can’t afford to pay T-mobile to exempt it’s data from customers bills.…

Canadians are better at hockey, and Americans are better at making money, so they hire Canadians to play hockey for them and that’s why American teams win Stanley Cups.

Sqarr, that’s two nights in a row that you’ve given me nightmare fuel. Smh at you.

When I am in a good mood, I like to hold the door open for you super scrubbers so you don't have to touch the filthiest part of the restroom, the doorknob. When I'm not in such a mood, I purposely and firmly shut the door.

That rather goes without saying. But that is true of most things. Good facilities should not be attacked for the unethical behavior of others. Yet this point seems to escape people when the topic is zoos. So maybe I need to put it in terms that people will better understand. Using an unethical facility in Argentina to…

“leeks out” - are you an Onion writer?

Well, at least they would have leeks, a good alternative to shallots or onions.

It’d be better if Apple paid a lot of money for a mysterious top hacker to find out what the exploit is but he/she would have to go up against the FBI’s best and all of it gets filmed as a documentary that you can watch on Netflix right away.

Honestly, I don’t much about it. Haven’t looked into the details. But I would be willing to guess that the type of arrangement here is much more similar to how humans have lived in community for most of our existence. Extended family units housed together was the norm until quite recently I think. And extended family…

That was a long time ago, wasn’t it? I know people who live in more liberal areas who are afraid to leave them for fear of getting physically attacked. It’s a subtle form of censorship, but as things get more and more ugly it gets more and more effective. Clearly a bit of static over a bumper sticker is not a big deal…

So far so good. I mean I lived through 8 years of Reagan and 8 years of W. and was never rude to anyones car (sometimes it was a huge struggle, admittedly) and now they are going to mess with me over a sitting president? @#@$#%@#@##@!!!!!!! It’s tiring though, especially when driving cross country.

It's that red state/big city dynamic. When Indiana passed its pro-discrimination bill, Indianapolis threw a fucking fit.

I have heard lots of explanations for why lower-class folks are more creative with name spellings, and middle-class and wealthier folks prefer traditional names and spellings, but this is one that rang most true to me, based on my hometown friends who grew up very poor. From a 2012 article by Stephanie Pappas on…
