Oh yes, a libertarian who cites studies that literally have nothing to do with the concerns outlined above. And using stock share prices? Are you kidding with this garbage?

Less regulation could push prices down too...
Yeah we all know how the meat packing industry was great for the consumer until it was regulated to death. now i can’t find a fingernail in my meat if i wanted to!
Competition pushes down prices. These corporations have litigated and lobbied away any potential competition. Even Google, one of the largest companies in the world, have been all but stymied by the criminal levels of corruption that govern the broadband internet market.
Have you asked yourself why the ISPs care? If none of this was happening before the rules, and it isn’t going to happen after, then it has no impact on the ISPs and they shouldn’t be concerned about it.
No, they were not happening, but there were murmuring and testing of the water in regards to pushing into that territory. That’s why it’s a protection...to prevent that from happening in the future.
This is flat out theft from citizens of the United States. We have subsidized telecom since it started in the 1800's and these robber barons owe us unhindered service.
“If you’re going to make up an entire false identity, why would you make yourself into a shitty person?” he asked.
It was certainly written in a more sympathetic tone than it would have been had this actually been a 30-something man. I doubt his pain would have been acknowledged. And she wasn’t 13 forever.
I would argue that just because she FELT she needed to do that, doesn’t make it true. I didn’t see it in the article but I wonder how much success she would have actually had if she had tried under her own name/age.
Personally, I’d say that her age was probably more against her than her gender.
Sure. And if private schools want to do it, that’s certainly their call. FSU isn’t a private school. Most of the schools with tens of thousands of students aren’t private schools. Or evangelicals. Lots of these schools exist as places for middling students to go and drink themselves into a sociology degree for four…
For the same reason I’ve got skepticism about dealing with gun control in America the same way they did in Australia. It’s a bigger problem, more ingrained in the culture.
Oh, no, it’s not a Fraternity thing.
Literally, look what they’re banned from:
Evidently, one person’s “sexy” is another person’s, “Er, do we need to go to the hospital?”
My theory is that a number of their very expensive original shows get embarrassingly low ratings, and their Adam Sandler crap gets the highest ratings, and they don’t want shareholders demanding less quality content and more crap. Refusing to release the numbers allows Netflix to control their own narrative.
But saying “So-and-so said Weinstein raped her” IS UNBIASED. Writing “So-and-so WAS raped by Weinstein” would be BIASED.
This is the beginning of editing how people communicate and think when using non-harmful language. This is a stepping stone to a slippery slope.
So, how were you able to do in one paragraph what took something like 30 paras? I am not a fan of these new long-form posts across the gawkerverse. So much rambling.
