That was the ministry of truth bill. Bipartisan == scumbags who don't want Wikileaks or similar news sites (not tied to the Military Industrial Complex)

to expose real substantive truth about crimes perpetrated by legislators. Example: FEC violations in the Wikileaks releases that have yet to be prosecuted...

 

Net Neutrality is 2014:

If bet neytrality goes, the freedom of the Internet goes with it. We need to do EVERYTHING in our power to show Ajit Pai that he better stop this nonsense, and if he doesn't, then we'll make sure the rest of his pathetic life is miserable and suffers from eggings, dogshit being smeared on his car windows, keyscratched car, prank calls delivering 50 pizzas to him, etc...

Seeing as how he's already ignoring several MILLION comments on their own website, and listening to the pro-kill net neutrality which have shown that some peoples names were stolen to post them, I can't see how he's going to change his mind.

He was strongly against Net Neutrality when he was just a member and voted against it.

He quoted a graph showing that there was a dip in ISP spending after it went through and claims it's directly causated by Net Neutrality.

Couldn't POSSIBLY be because an election was coming up and a Republican had a good chance at winning the Presidency, so they were probably waiting to see what happened.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Are you pro-homophobia?

No. Sorry if I offended you. Maybe "a shit pie" is a better insult for him, since it sounds like his name and is a reference to that one movie where the black maid gets back at her racist ex employer by feeding her a pie with her shit in it.

This is off topic and a forum for adults, swearing is part of the language. Feel free to scroll past the post/topic if it offends you.

On a kind of funny note, Google and Amazon are now fighting each other, (while putting customers in the middle). It goes like this. Amazon won't sell Google streaming gear, so Google is gonna block Amazon devices from watching Youtube!

It is funny, because the FCC is going to let the big ISPs sideline both of them by placing them at an artificial disadvantage to the respective video services that the ISP offers.

That idiot Pai is trying to get people to go along with his plan by playing with fidget spinners and foam dart guns whilst wearing 3d glasses and babbling memes. Meanwhile, a woman came forward and revealed the FCC is using her DEAD husband's identity online to try and smear pro-net neutrality videos and posts. I hope someone takes a swing at this smug MFer's face and shatters his facial bones.

This is really crummy, to say the least. :( My best wishes to the American forum members here. I hope this affects your daily browsing activities as least as possible. Can still someone attack this legally, as a violation of US anti-trust measures ?

 

While I wouldn't make a sacred cow out of net neutrality, I feel it has more benefits for the average, honest-paying user of the Internet, than it has downsides.

It's supposed to go into effect within 1 year. But until then many things can change.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

I know. It would take a few months at least, and a whole year gives plenty of leeway for defending net neutrality.

 

While we in Europe (and plenty of other countries) don't have to directly worry, efforts like this set a bad precedent, especially given how large the US portion of the Internet still is even nowadays.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
