Why Net Neutrality Makes the Internet Great

The FCC wants to destroy net neutrality and give big cable companies control over what we see and do online. If they get their way, they’ll allow widespread throttling, blocking, censorship, and extra fees. You can learn more at https://battleforthenet.com.

I have a tendency to “go big” when I do things.

I’ve got no choice really.

I once thought I could keep the cats off me by laying on my side. They don’t give a fuck. They lay were they want.

What if you went to Amazon.com or opened the Amazon app, searched for Stranger Things toys (because Christmas), and the images loaded one at a time?

What if your friend told you that Walmart.com might have them? And when you went there the site loaded the second you searched?

What if later you saw a share on Facebook that said Amazon’s marketshare had plummeted because they hadn’t signed a deal with Verizon now that Net Neutrality had been killed?

What if later you fired up Netflix on your smart TV but couldn’t watch Stranger Things without it buffering every few seconds? But rumor has it that Disney’s Frozen 2 is setting viewer records?

What if you opened iTunes to buy the latest Gwen Stefani Christmas album? But then when you went to play it nothing happened?

What if you can’t visit your favorite sites and use your favorite apps because they haven’t signed deals with AT&T and have been dumped into Internet slow lanes?

Net Neutrality means that the Internet is neutral. T-Mobile can’t play favorites. All the images and videos and audios are treated as equals.

The FCC isn’t interested in keeping Net Neutrality intact anymore. They’ve made that pretty clear.

Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, he was the Associate General Counsel for Verizon at one point.

Does this surprise you?

Checks for new @realDonaldTrump tweets every 5 min & transforms them into correct Presidential statement format.

Yep. Trump tweeted both those things. On the same day.

Finally. This issue seemed to take the longest. Because holiday times are busy times.

I doubt I could handle another affair. My last one only involved my parts, not my heart, and that almost ruined me.

I LOVED being in LOVE. Of COURSE the sex was wonderful, we were in love.

This has been several sequels ago.

Anyway, I was young once, and sober, and conflicted, and tortured and a MOODY PRICK.

Leonard Cohen’s lyric, “It’s Lonely Here, There’s no one left to torture.”

Be in love with someone. Don’t go halfway. Give it everything.

This is terrible advice and leads to heartache and ruin, drug addled rampages and contemplation of contemplation.

I opened a ticket for a bug in my boss’ code today at 1:20 pm.

POST /searched_addresses — throwing Slim error

Type: PDOException
Code: HY093
Message: SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens
File: /var/app/current/src/Models/SearchedAddressRepository.php Line: 219

Fearless Leader updated the ticket at 2:18 pm.

I’ll fix this, but you should be passing the searched address in the GET /docks endpoint.

I updated it at 2:20 pm.

I was not aware of this.

He told me to use POST /searched_addresses in the first place, then lets me implement the code, discover bugs, and then file a bug report on its broken functionality before telling me that I should be using GET /docks instead.
