Kalman posted:This is actually a true statement - the Oatmeal focuses on the Comcast/Netflix despite as evidence we need net neutrality, ignoring the fact that that dispute isn't about net neutrality and wouldn't be affected by net neutrality regulation (especially given that Comcast is already under stronger obligations than would be imposed under Title II.) The way Obama worded things he means to regulate to that level as well. Everyone assumed he wouldn't go that far, which is why the telecom companies are screaming bloody murder.

Kalman posted:No, he didn't. Sorry. All he said was that interconnect deals should be transparent. No one sane is suggesting that interconnect/peering deals should have to be offered on identical terms, and Title II doesn't actually offer the authority to require that. Obama posted:Increased transparency. The connection between consumers and ISPs — the so-called “last mile” — is not the only place some sites might get special treatment. So, I am also asking the FCC to make full use of the transparency authorities the court recently upheld, and if necessary to apply net neutrality rules to points of interconnection between the ISP and the rest of the Internet. I'm pretty sure the applying net neutrality rules against ISPs and the rest of the internet means that special deals like Comcast and Netflix will be regulated or at least scrutinized.

Naet posted:Mitt fascinates me because even though the man still comes across as an emotionless weirdo in parts, he looks and sounds like an actual human being throughout the doc. Ann and his one deranged son look even worse, arguably, but Mitt and the rest of the family seem normal. If he runs again, the campaign team could do much worse than trotting that documentary out over and over again. I think Romney being normal is his entire problem. He's too normal. He's aggressively normal.

He's a loving rich vulture who believes everyone has access to the immense wealth he's been lucky enough to be born into. See also: "You want to start a business? Ask your parents for a loan!" or "I was 'poor' in college too!" And even worse than that, as someone else said, he's bland. mayo on white bread bland) You guys clearly don't get it.

Intel&Sebastian posted:2. In Christian circles it's used as in "Bearing witness", as in if someone sees you dancing you will be a less effective example of a good Christian for the purposes of turning other people into Christians. It doesn't make a lot of sense but I blame them more than me. Witnesses get stichnesses. True story: I only voted for Obama because of the choom gang and other various stories from his high school days.

Joementum posted:By the way, Rand Paul has said this week that he's "heard about" and is "looking into" the situation with the Walmart closures. My heart tells me that is true, but the facts say that it is probably going to be about the closed stores being sites of planned protests. The workers were told at 7PM the night before that they were going to be closed for renovations for an undetermined amount of time when they had already been renovated a few months earlier without being closed. I really hope it's the Alex Jones thing though.

The Nastier Nate posted:If you watch the clip he dosen't say or imply anything like that. It's just a standard speech about repealing Obamacare and replacing it with more "market driven choices that let us be in charge of our own healthcare", then goes into a few medical applications of the smart watch. Not exactly a new idea, but far from thinking Jeb Bush thinks magic watches will replace doctors. It took three days for him to decide that he wouldn't throw troops into a meat grinder for fraudulent reasons so this isn't exactly unbelievable. It's pretty obvious that he was just waffling to avoid offending his brothers FP team and only walked it back after getting mainstream attention.

GalacticAcid posted:https://twitter.com/subverzo/status/604368035017838593 Does seem more likely to be a stunt. Usually documents like that are sealed and given the fact that Christie could just decline the summons. On one hand the media doesn't need to make a big deal about the summons since he would be in court anyway. On the other hand one of the best ways to serve a summons to a politician is to pretend you are a supporter at a rally. Honestly conflicted on this one.

radical meme posted:Someone posted an article that said Trump didn't have to file paperwork until mid-October. Is this correct? Is that the final drop dead date for Trump to actually put up or shut up? That's only the case if he hasn't already made the yoogest, most luxurious presidential announcement in the history of mankind. He has about a week or so prior to his announcement to file or it becomes a legal issue. Edit: Beaten, of course, with more accurate information.
