The problem is these posts are on a website that most Republicans aren't even going to visit, and the common electorate is not going to visit and it's a fairly small website compared to the likes of Reddit and x, and so all this is doing is agitating the choir of people who are not likely to vote for that shit stain.
Like I get it, the world is in a pretty shitty place but telling me how and why I shouldn't vote for Trump is pointless because I'm already not going to vote for that fucker. You put a gun to my head and tell me to put a check mark next to his name or you pull the trigger I'm going to tell you I hope you brought enough fucking ammo to kill me.
I think you're missing the point. The question is about a tolerant society.
Regardless of if the society itself is stable, for the society to be tolerant it must be intolerant of the intolerant, and therefore a tolerant society must be intolerant.
That would definitely be fair. Like even limit the ratio between tears just give me the option to have the internet that I want at my house without paying for business internet prices.
I'm not asking for symmetrical gigabit with a static ipv4 address on a fiber line with unlimited bandwidth. I just want a decent amount of bandwidth, 50-100mb up, a static IP address that is IPv6, and I'm okay with a ipv4 address that changes.
They've had a really long time to simply flip the switch in the routers that they use to also transmit IPv6 addresses and they are not doing it.
Their hardware is not old enough in most cases to not have IPv6 available by default in the hardware and firmware, they are just intentionally choosing not to activate it.
The only use or reason for having a static IP is to have a domain name that resolves to that IP and knowing that the domain register can set the IP address and it's good until everything falls apart for lack of payment.
The other use of having a static IP is for a VPN, to remote back into your home network. Technically you can use both of these services with non-static vpns because most people's home internet does not change their IP addresses that often and there are services called dynamic DNS resolvers that you can get to constantly update your rotating IP address to a specific domain name.
You will not see any speed increases or throughput increases from having a set ip, it just simplifies running a home domain or home network because then you don't have to worry about ddns.
Yeah, I didn't mind an ad on the side of the screen when all of the content was front and center. But the problem is is that when you make it so that a company's livelihood depends on forcing users to do things they don't want to do, and there's no regulation on that whatsoever, it's just going to go downhill very quickly and if you think this is bad it can get much much worse.
I'm kind of surprised that isps are not injecting ads into your browsing and forcing you to watch ads just to use the internet that you paid for.
They could even charge you like a $10 a month up charge fee for ad-free internet and say that we're not going to block the ads on the rest of the internet you just won't get additional ads from us.
I’ve never worked with major enterprise or government systems where there’s aging mainframes — the type that get parodied for running COBOL. So, I’m completely ignorant, although fascinated. Are they power hogs? Are they wildly cheap to run? Are they even run as they were back in the day?
I used to operate an as400 mini frame from the 1980s and I want to say it it chugged close to a thousand Watts but I can't tell you for certain, all I know is that when it was installed they put it on its own dedicated 15 amp line
I don't know if you're from the states but if you are purchasing mega millions or Powerball tickets, they stop sales at about 6:45 p.m. Pacific time and then do the drawing sometime after 7:00 of the same day.
I interpreted it as you would repeat the exact same day 365 times, not that you would repeat the exact same year over and over again.
I would take the +3 charm and groundhog Day for a year. It would be really awesome to have 3 charm instead of 0, and if I could repeat Tuesday for an entire year then I could learn skills and practice things and read a bunch of books and memorize and establish a plan to purchase a winning lottery ticket, not excessive but maybe like the mega millions I don't know, and come out of the year into Wednesday with nine figures in my bank account and a clear plan of action.

Every once in awhile it crosses my mind that if I just gave up my morals I could make so much fucking money.
The difference between me being a middle-class American and me being filthy fucking rich is every day I wake up and I choose not to defraud every single person I possibly can of their money.
I feel like I should get a little thank you now and again, because I could be the greatest monster you've ever seen but instead I'm just a nobody and I don't think I get nearly enough appreciation for my service.
You're thinking like you are the customer and the customer is always right, so if you pay for a service it should provide you what you want, right?
This is not that scenario.
You are not the customer. You are a product that is being sold to advertisers. It does not matter if you also pay them money, you are still the product. If you pay them money on top of being sold then you are just an especially profitable product.
Paying them money will not cause you to cease being a product, no matter how much money you are willing to pay.
If you use a different company's product that starts off with you being the customer, eventually, they will learn that they can make more money by selling you to other people, and they will.
Like sometimes I'll make a post and I go back and I reread it and I'm like somebody way smarter than me wrote this, and sometimes I'll go back and reread it and wonder how the fuck was I so stupid as to write this?...
If you read it as a 5 year old child, everything about it from the pretty cover to the fundamental concept of a cutesy story about animals indicates that you were going to read a lighthearted story full of fun adventure, maybe at worst like The Velveteen Rabbit or the Secret of Nimh.
What you get instead is a brutal, gripping commentary on society that is well beyond your 5 year old comprehension, full of small animal gore, betrayal, starvation, and a desperate striving for survival.
The vibe lingers for a long time and it is not pleasant.

An interesting thing about learning random things is that the knowledge you acquire will come in handy in unexpected places.
For instance, I learned to play guitar. Then I wrote songs, then I wanted to record the songs to see if they were any good so I learned about recording so then I ended up in a band with other people and recorded a few albums with them, which didn't go anywhere.
Not long after, people who were aware that I recorded music asked me to help out at a church and I got experience running live audio.
And eventually I moved away so I had to quit and then I ended up having a job where editing audio for training sessions was a part of my job responsibilities and my previous experience with recording albums and running live music prepared me to do a job that paid a hell of a lot more than I was making before which then advanced into another job and another job and all of these random little tidbits of information and skills that I've picked up along the way keep becoming crucial to my future successes in ways that I could have never anticipated back when I was learning them to record some dinky guitar.

Here's a thought, making "sins" more expensive just makes poor people live in greater poverty to keep their sins a part of their life, making them more miserable and increasing their reliance on said sins.
Increasing luxury taxes on sin items only serves to make people feel like they're doing good while getting their *rocks off on punishing bad people.
Focusing on the poverty issue will do more to prevent unnecessary deaths to drugs and alcohol than making them so expensive only the rich can afford them and make the world a truly better place for everyone.
