Holy shit, the stuff with Stephanie was bad enough, but him arguing and even physically fighting with his husband was awkward as all hell, and he thought that was appropriate to show to the world? Also, they got back together despite how toxic they are with each other?

It has been three and a half years since former FCC chair and Verizon employee Ajit Pai eliminated net neutrality protections that protect our right to access a free and open internet. Net neutrality was put into place specifically to ensure that internet service providers (ISPs) cannot block or slow down users access to internet content it disapproves of for business or political reasons, or to speed up access to content it favors. But since the loss of net neutrality, powerful ISPs like Verizon and Comcast have been free to do just that and they have. When we talk about net neutrality we are not talking about hypothetical scenarios or what-ifs. We are already living the very real consequences of its repeal. Here are some examples of how ISPs are violating our rights, right now:
Tampering with speeds
* Sprint is slowing traffic to Skype, which is owned by its competitor, Microsoft.
* The largest telecom companies are slowing internet traffic to and from popular apps like YouTube and Netflix.
Playing favorites with data caps
* AT&T is openly advertising that cellular customers can stream the companys DirecTV Now product without it counting against monthly data caps. Meanwhile, all of the competing video services like Sling TV, Hulu, YouTube TV, Netflix, or Amazon Prime count against AT&T data caps and video can quickly chew through a monthly data plans download allotment. AT&Ts behavior is almost a pure textbook example of why net neutrality rules were put into place to stop ISPs from putting competitors products at a disadvantage. AT&T is the biggest cellular provider in the country and this creates a huge advantage for DirecTV Now. All of the major cellular carriers are doing something similar in allowing some video to not count against the monthly data cap, but AT&T is the only one pushing their own product.
Throttling bandwidth and network traffic
* A study led by Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that internet service providers are giving a fixed amount of bandwidth typically something in the range of one and a half megabits per second to four megabits per second to video traffic, but they dont impose these limits on other network traffic. This slowing down of internet speeds is called throttling, and according to researcher Dave Choffnes, nearly every U.S. cell phone provider is doing it.
* Verizon has been throttling County Fire, the fire department charged with responding to California wildfires. This throttling has had a significant impact on our ability to provide emergency services, says Fire Chief Anthony Bowden. Verizon imposed these limitations despite being informed that throttling was actively impeding County Fires ability to provide crisis-response and essential emergency services.
Orchestrating free giveaways
* Verizon FiOS recently began giving free Netflix for a year to new broadband customers. AT&T also started giving out free HBO to new customers last year. This practice is more subtle than the cellular carrier practice of blocking or throttling content. One of the purposes of net neutrality was for ISPs to not discriminate against web traffic. By giving away free video services, the landline broadband companies are promoting specific web services over competitors. Smaller, start up ISP providers who dont have large media services to give away for free are placed at a disadvantage, even though their cost or service may be superior.
Just because you never experienced the consequences doesn't mean they don't exist. Luckily Biden admin actually started trying to get it re-instated recently

Had it on NES back in the day. Never got past like the third or fourth level.

We (my siblings and I) used to call it the "Man With No Face" game, because due to the quality of the sprites and hardware limitations, the main guy had no facial features.

I still don't understand how this game is canon and a direct sequel to A Link Between Worlds with the same Link, despite TFH clearly using Toon Link.

This is from the same director who made the foot fetish dragon girl from Fates one of the last DLC from smash 4

Nintendo told him to add Corrin.

Doe posted...

who also added Chrom of all people to Ultimate as one of the, like, 4 total echo fighters.

Chrom was heavily-requested in Japan. Just as Dark Samus was heavily-requested in the West (they were revealed together, and Sakurai said as much).

Doe posted...

Byleth was all him. He asked to include Byleth.

Again, Nintendo told him to add Byleth (along with the rest of the DLC). Sakurai himself has shown a bit of disdain with how many FE characters are in the game.

I can sorta see it, but I can also see that Nintendo wanted to push Three Houses and told Sakurai to add Byleth irregardless of any planned Monster Hunter representation.

Byleth himself, while I don't hate him, does seem rather plain. Especially since he doesn't make use of the Crest mechanic which is an important one in Three Houses (and the other DLC fighters heavily pull from their respective game series).

2. Alt left is equally as insane as alt right.

There's no such thing as the "alt-left".

1. Why do you feel the need to marginalize and discriminate? That's a wild accusation you are throwing out there without facts or justification.

CreekCo posted...

3. Why don't you exercise your freedom and take care of your medical situations and mind your business? If you take care, you'll be ok and that's their problem. This is allegedly a free country.

Because their "freedom" is actively harming people around them, and keeping us from seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in regards to the pandemic.

Imagine a game where Ganondorf genuinely wants to do good this time, and the latest incarnation of Link is a selfish asshole with delusions of grandeur due to being well-aware that he's the incarnation of the Hero; and due to fate, Ganondorf is inevitably doomed to become evil and be taken down by this Link.

He has plenty of opportunities to take care of himself. However, not only does it sound like he never got vaccinated, but he's also pushing that ivermectin nonsense that is also harming people.

No sympathy.

Gengar in Sun: Should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up.

Gengar in Ultra Moon: Even your home isnt safe. Gengar will lurk in whatever dark corner of a room it can find and wait for its chance to catch its prey.

Gigantamax Gengar in Sword: Rumor has it that its gigantic mouth leads not into its body, filled with cursed energy, but instead directly to the afterlife.

Gigantamax Gengar in Shield: It lays traps, hoping to steal the lives of those it catches. If you stand in front of its mouth, you'll hear your loved ones' voices calling out to you.

The South was a big reason why Black actors and actresses couldn't get any more than small, menial roles in TV shows and films for a long time. They were just a lucrative population that studios didn't want to risk alienating them by casting a Black person in a nonstereotypical role or especially as the protagonist.

There was also a comic in a magazine that caused tons of controversy because it was revealed at the end that the astronaut protagonist was a Black man all along.

Let's say that an entire alien fleet suddenly appears around Earth, completely surrounding the planet. Several ships touch down across the planet, and the invaders assassinate various world leaders, before declaring that Earth now belongs to them, and that the human race will now be their slaves. Obviously, there would be worldwide panic, but there may also be some who will try to fight back against the aliens.

Would you personally join the resistance against them, even if it would be an extreme uphill battle in light of their far-superior technologies?
