No he can go ahead and die rather than risk winning the white house again. Especially since he has a better chance this time around. He very narrowly lost last time, and in several states where he lost by 20k votes or less the republican-run state governments have been hard at work voting on more voter suppression…

Disappointed when I learned what kind of piracy he is accused of.

I expect to hear this among the rhetoric as to why ‘this movie is doomed’ despite most people I know saying they’d rather movies be more tightly paced, plotted, and edited.

It might still be bad (though I suspect it’s going to be a fun romp) but I think the shorter run time will be a benefit not a hindrance. 

Multiple states stepped in to make their own laws on throttling, so a lot people didn’t see anything thanks to the patchwork of state laws that should have just been left as a federal law. 

I really don’t want my monopolistic ISP to make the decisions on what traffic gets prioritized, which they can do if they want to.

Yes, we absolutely did. I worked in telecom for 17 years (and then in telecom related companies for another 7), and I can assure that we cannot trust telecom companies to regulate themselves. The competitive pressures that are supposed to regulate companies don’t work very well for telecom companies because there is a…

Internet speeds for a lot of people got throttled if they didn’t pay absurd premiums.

This article summarizes the things that service providers have been up to since the ruling and provides links to more in-depth info:

Hopefully she makes the announcement and then takes a long slow drink from an obnoxiously over-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups coffee mug.

There are various right-wing “concerned parents” groups funded by politicians and corporate suits to effectively devalue and discourage public schooling and child welfare. Moms For Liberty is an easy example and they are actively promoting sociopathy, Nazi rhetoric and home schooling for impoverished families, relying…

Quite the opposite for me. I enjoyed the absurdity of it. And it has my newest favorite Bender quote, would go on my tombstone if I wasn’t already donating my body to science:

GOODBYE, SWEET JERKS!

Florida Boy is future Florida Man

A good and expected result.  Now can we never talk about them again?

Why do bigots always forget that just because they have a right to speak doesn’t mean that anyone has to listen?

Imagine being so fucking thin skinned that optional pronouns bother you enough to download a fucking mod. These are the same chodes that will, unironically, call everyone else snowflakes for shit. Fuck these children, and good on Nexus for not hosting such a childish, dumb fucking mod. 

I’m an IT admin at a school, and this is amazing news. We have a truck load of basically brand new ones that expire in 2027, so now all our Chromebooks will last until 2033? That’s super cool, good on Google honestly.

What is with the trailer-for-a-trailer thing that has become so standard. They even do it INSIDE trailers, where they’ll show some very very short clips of the trailer and then play the whole thing. I’ve even seen them do that and then be like “and now the trailer for Movie X”. Trailers are not movies! This is so…

I can see it now, Trump acquitted on legitimate RICO charges while a bunch middling protestors found guity of trumped up RICO charges.

the game was always good, if you played on hardware that could run it well
