Now, I understand that streaming video, without regard to content, has been throttled on wireless networks for technical/bandwidth reasons. That is more similar to what NN aims to prevent, but still isn't unlawful if all streaming video is throttled.
When comcast starts letting NBCVideoNow get full bandwidth, while restricting Netflix and HBONow, that would be illegal under NN.
Yeah, that is what I meant. All streaming is not throttled, not all the time, and not if you pay enough. That's the current state.
Edit: For example, ATT's $40 unlimited plan only allows streaming at 480p, even though you have access to much more bandwidth than that, but you can pay more to stream faster. That's the desired endgame for ISPs, at best.
Not all of them do that, Google Fi doesn't, for example, but there biggest telecom companies already do this crap.

Once again, because it is not needed. No throttling/no content preference has happened.
Regulations, no matter how virtuous their intent, have a very long history of getting bastardized.
Also, this is one of the worst, stupidest answers to an honest question I've ever seen. The regulations put in place by the Obama administration in 2015 were to hedge against content blocking, throttling, or paid prioritization. That's it. They are passive consumer protections, and I'd love to hear an honest interpretation of how that could be "bastardized", not more fake libertarian drivel.
Again, the latter two already happen in the case of mobile networks, so if you want to see the American ISP's desired future, or at least part of it, look that way.

Change the thread title to "Trump slays net neutrality fears", @hayden_horn.

This is such a Swam thread. Is Incredulity Swam?
If you want a good example of what's going to happen, look at the vast variety of mobile data plans and how the telecom companies that provide mobile access already selectively throttle you based on multiple factors.
Come back to me when all the lawsuits have cleared out and you find that you need to upgrade your internet service to access YouTube, for example.

Neg repping for anything other than an egregious, very personal attack, is the height of a pussy move.
I tend to agree with this with general exceptions being shit like Icono gleefully posting about wanting to set up camp and shoot Mexicans at the border, Tahoe trying to debate the genetic inferiority of black people, etc.
Honestly, the loudest whiners are the biggest pussies. Hell, @Onboard 2.0 is a great example of how to be a (fairly staunchly) conservative poster (which itself is pretty lol, I still consider myself a fairly conservative-minded person) and not get run out. We might not always agree, but he isn't a slobbering racist retard like Tahoe.

But for real tho, I’ve never needed one to fuck up a sounder. 00 buck does wonders.
The only real reason to hunt with one imo is they make great youth guns (low recoil, many calibers to choose, collapsable stock). Any other reason a hunter gives you is bullshit, imo.
I'd still teach my kid on a bolt-action rifle, probably a .243, which is what I started out on as a kid. Not a ton of recoil there, but accurate.

Retardation imo is trying to draw a line around the 2nd amendment based on hunting.
Just now, fattyflattie said:Luckily large ranchers are never politically connected.
It’s a facetious reminder to a tweet from some idiot after one of the shootings, that posters here are playing off of you fucking dunce. Similar to every third post on this entire site. JFC it’s like you haven’t realized the collection of assholes on this and previous iterations of this site.
Yeah yeah my bad I haven't had coffee yet

In an attempt to discourage people from going into a degenerate spiral into the darkness that is Cloak Room we are going to start running ads ONLY in cloak room and it's threads regardless if you are a member or not. Treefiddy peeps will never see ads ever, these ads are actually going to be treated like a totally different site and will most likely be political in nature.
Please help yourself and stop posting there.
I honestly don't see what the big deal is. You can just not click on it or read it, people have this thing called free will. I assume a number of people have whined to you about being run out of there and that's the only reason you actually give a shit.
On 9/18/2019 at 5:04 AM, tjhooker said:That's exactly the point I think you're missing. We don't post in there anymore because it is a cesspool of left group think where any counter thought is immediately struck down as racist, Nazi, homophobic followed by personal attacks and threats then being negged to oblivion. You are exactly right. You haven't seen us in there in a long time.
Nobody misses you or the cocksucking meth head, it's fine.
Edit: And you didn't get run out for having "counter thoughts" you got run out for constantly running to teacher and creating new threads about how you were wronged that day. Fucking pussy.

They do pretty well eradicating hogs though.
This is such bullshit and I have no idea why this retardation gets brought up every time this discussion comes up. I've hunted for my entire life and killed hundreds of fucking hogs and not once have I ever used a semi-automatic dick-extension rifle to do it. I can't imagine any real hunter I know saying this shit with a straight face in a room full of other hunters.

You got run out because you openly admitted to being a racist piece of shit. Take your lumps and move on, pussy.

Dude. Think about what you were doing any month during 2001. And then consider whether 2001 you would think it would be ok to paint your skin black or brown and put a turban on to go to a party themed Arabian Nights.
Nah it's wrong for sure, I just thought he was attaching 9/11 significance to it.

Just now, Onboard 2.0 said:
I don't think 9-11 has anything to do with it. It's blackface. That hasn't been acceptable for a long damn time (decades).
Well yeah but you pointed out the year as if it was more significant than others so I assumed that's what you meant.

I don’t think anyone is talking about wearing cultural garb. The issue is JT painted his face as a costume. Just like it has been an issue for many in the United States. The difference is, when some people do it their entire careers should be ended. When others do it we should make light of it or just look the other way.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
Stop being a whiny pussy just because you think white people should be able to be racist without losing their jobs. We aren't Canadians so we can't very well vote JT out of office, can we?

Jeebus, he did that in 2001 ?? I know Canadistan is a fucking backwater and all, but this guy is a special kind of stoopid.
Not to condone it but there were many days and months before September 11 so it's possible (even statistically probable) that this party occurred before the big booms.

Matt Gaetz is one of those guys that really needed to have his ass kicked in high school. He and this country would be better off.
Yeah except then you get Stephen Miller. There's no way that guy didn't get his ass kicked in high school.

stupid millennial tech grad girl at work the last 2 weeks: "We finally have a defense. We're gonna be so good this year"
Me on Monday: "Yeah but... offense... "
Honestly have to feel bad for the D. They played great for 3.25 quarters. Just nothing left in the tank when your offense just does nothing but give the ball back the entire game.
4 scores in 14 fucking drives isn't bad. Ain't shit when your offense can't score though.

I'm still waiting to hear your explanation of why regulation to prevent telecom companies from fleecing their customers is a bad thing.
