  • Are you intentionally making bad faith arguments?

    No, lets keep this civil my guy.

    She is a social media manager, onlyfans is social media regardless of the content that is usually posted. As for the reason I brought up Facebook moderation is, what do you think is usually posted there? Minion memes? Photos from trips? Well those moderators are often subjected to beheadings, rape, and other very graphic content. Do you think that was explicitly stated when they got hired?

    Of course, Facebook isn’t exactly the premier ‘good place to work’, but this is common throughout any industry that takes submissions for the populous. And I am not making any arguments whatsoever on whether or not she should actually have to see “comments from people talking about how they wanted to fuck me and my co workers.”.

    I’m more inclined to trust this account than I am with others because there’s a lot of things she mentioned which are quite synonymous with the ‘tech bro’ industry:

    My work was called “dogshit” I was called “incompetent”. When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to “put on my big girl pants” and be “more assertive”.

    However, I will withhold my judgement until I hear both sides of the story like always. I also don’t know why she didn’t press criminal charges, I’m sure sexual assault is a crime in Canada and you won’t have to pay legal fees like she mentioned towards the end. And one more thing, she should have mentioned these “managers”, “certain members”, and alleged sex offenders by name.



  • Here are a few examples that could support the claim that Republicans have opposed net neutrality regulations:

    • In 2017, the Republican-controlled FCC under chairman Ajit Pai repealed the net neutrality rules that had been put in place during the Obama administration. This allowed ISPs more freedom to throttle or prioritize certain content and services.
    • Congressional Republicans have generally opposed legislation to restore net neutrality rules. In 2018, the Senate passed a bill to reinstate the rules, but it did not advance in the Republican-controlled House.
    • Major broadband providers like Comcast and Verizon have historically donated more to Republican politicians than Democrats. Republicans have received criticisms that these donations sway their positions against net neutrality rules.

    Here are some sources that could counter or provide an alternative perspective to the claim that Republicans uniformly oppose net neutrality:

    • The conservative advocacy group FreedomWorks supported the 2017 FCC net neutrality repeal under Ajit Pai. However, they opposed a bill in 2012 that they argued would have given the government too much control over the internet. This illustrates more nuanced positions.
    • Former Senator John Thune (R-SD) proposed net neutrality legislation in 2015 that attempted to find a middle ground. It would have banned blocking and throttling but avoided heavier utility-style regulations advocated by Democrats. This demonstrated a more moderate Republican approach.
    • Polls indicate Republican voters are nearly as supportive of net neutrality protections as Democrats and independents. A 2018 poll by the University of Maryland found 86% of Republicans opposed the FCC repeal. This suggests public opinion within the party is mixed.

    As for your last point, you act like any of those dinosaurs know how to.
