the Battle for Net Neutrality

[buzzard]

They sure can be tedious, yes.

the battle for net brutality

I hope that the 'worst' predictions the pro-NN people made come true. The internet would be a much better place if people who used netflix and social media all day were charged for consuming so much fucking bandwidth.

I could actually get on board if this is how it all ends up shaking down, but it's probably going to just end up some version of "If you don't pay Company X Y amount of dollars, you won't be able to access Website Z" or some such shit.

[FlamingGlobes]

Whatever, fuck the internet. It's done, it had its day. Electing Donald Trump and eating itself alive seems a perfect way to cap the whole thing.

[FlamingGlobes]

Every day I use and enjoy the internet a little less than the day before.

Except you guys. You guys are cool.

Well, except for MarquisMarq.

Most countries do.

Cell phone internet here already follows it's own rules, with different services coming with different packages.
I don't pay bandwidth for using some chat apps for example

This is the last time I'm addressing this issue. It's just that seeing stuff like this on this forum really annoys me. I'm being misunderstood, I think.

As far as I've noticed, I'm more or less just like most of you. And everything on the forum was great, UNTIL I gave my opinion (which isn't unreasonable at all, BTW) on a controversial issue on the aforementioned Trump thread. I'm really just the same person. People took me out of context. and, and I'm a little sick of it. No one here was mean to me until the Trump thread happened. My opinions are exactly the same as most other people except for the one. Could anyone actually tell me what's wrong with me, exactly? I just really like this forum and the people on it, and reading stuff about how I'm supposedly this very evil person makes me feel a little bummed out. It IS an internet forum, so I usually don't give a shit, but I genuinely like you people and think you're pretty reasonable. That's pretty much it for now.

because
- you post a shitload of bland stuff. like you spam every other thread with 5 or 6 posts after each other
- your opinion on trans people is closed-minded
- you aren't who you say you are and people know. unless you can actually prove you are like you promised you would several times, you come across as phony. my asshole is 17 and from India.

all this doesn't make you a 'very evil person', it just makes me wonder why you keep posting.

[teh b0lly!!1]

you really are very perspective, joeri. whoever gave you that compliment knew what they were tolkin about.

[MarquisInSpades]

"Joeri"? You're Dutch?

[MarquisInSpades]

Also, thanks. I've been avoiding shitposting recently though.
Also, I'm not gonna get into it, but it's not very closed-minded OR harmful to anyone at all.

I get the point about me being a 17 year old. It can be hard to take someone seriously when you don't even know that they are who they claim to be. It just feels like everyone's been attacking me since the Trump thread, and that's it. I've PS, so I feel paranoid a lot. I should probably get off the internet and go do something with myself, lol. I usually avoid using it, it's just that I've been looking for a change in lifestyle.

Cool, then.

he decided to be Dutch after realising he was too gouda to be a German

I'm going to choose to address you as a new forum member from now on even though I think you're not (I don't want to contribute to your paranoia if you do really have PS). Just like you should choose to address people by their preferred pronouns even though you think biology is more important than cognitive congruence.

[MarquisInSpades]

Thanks. And sure. I will.

I think I just wanted someone to talk to. It's like I'm having this epiphany all of a sudden. Weird.

[MarquisInSpades]

It's okay if you don't address me as a new forum member. It's just that there's so much bias around here just because of that one conversation. I just don't want to have to be reminded of it every time I'm here.

I'll probably stop using the internet again though, soon enough.

[FoolofaTook]

You forgot to log in as Life's a Drag.

[MarquisInSpades]

....fuck

for real though, I have no idea who that person is. I don't make dummy accounts. Pretty sure she is who she claims to be. Just posts/writes like me, that's all. xD

Everything about what you said was just wrong.

I won't say anything else because you stated your preference to not get into it, which I applaud, really. Keeping your opinions to yourself when the only thing they will accomplish is to hurt others is a good first step.

[MarquisInSpades]

Thanks. That's what I had in mind.

your band is very cool. I'm listening to your playlists on YouTube.

[MarquisInSpades]

you should release more of your stuff on SoundCloud.

[smashingjj]

thank you. what band are you talking about?
