Verizon Fios throttles Netflix - Net Neutrality

Darkhand says...

Under most circumstances I would agree with you,.

But the problem here is cancel with Verizon and go where?

Criminal.
He should call Verizon, cancel and tell them why.

Verizon Fios throttles Netflix - Net Neutrality

Darkhand says...

I got Torguard after watching this video.

There is an index of VPNs that get interviewed by a bittorrent blog or something like that. In the interview they ask them what kind of measures they take for security purposes etc etc.

Torguard doesn't keep ANY logs. Vypr (the service this guy uses) keeps logs for a while which to me seems to defeat the purpose of having a VPN.

I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!

My VPN does increase my ability to download stuff a bit but it's not amazing. I just think Verizon Fios is shit sometimes. Also I know they've been totally throttling Netflix, those bastards.

What VPNs do other people use on here, any I should consider?

Gunny Delight - NRA Convention, New Gun Laws - Jon Stewart

Darkhand says...

Yup,

This is why I never give my money to the NRA but I'll donate it to local firearm advocates that do not have any direct ties to the NRA.

Can we all agree that regardless of your stance on gun control, it has nothing whatsoever to do with marriage equality, tax policy or healthcare*?

Seriously, I don't care what your personal favourite cause is. It may have merit, it may not, but if you have to back it up by having Rick fucking Santorum speak, you've already lost.

*apart from supplying doctors with gsw patients, obviously.

Huckabee is Not a Homophobe, but...

Darkhand says...

I just disagree on all counts with you here.

What we need to do in these instances is try to help these people understand that gay marriage is okay.

Instead we force them to accept it which just not only further cements their beliefs but it will turn people who are more Laissez-faire about the issue into part of the larger problem. In my opinion this will only breed further extremism and more home grown terrorism.

You win stuff like this by being better than the other side. With love and compassion. Not forcing them to step in line.

So just to be clear, if an artist is homophobic, that's ok?

How about sexist? If I hire a photographer for a corporate event to celebrate the hiring of a new female CEO, it's cool for them to say "nah, I think women should be home raising kids"?

How about racist? How about discriminating on religious grounds? How about just ugly people? "I would shoot your wedding, but frankly, you're both just hideous and let's face it you don't need photos reminding you of that"

Fuck that.

The difference between the real situation of someone being discriminated on sexual orientation and @Darkhand's ridiculously contrived example of being forced to write a song about hating cats is that hating cats is perfectly socially and legally acceptable. Discriminating against people based on ethnicity, gender or orientation is not.

If you "take photos, make videos, design clothes" you're not an artist, you're a business. Your business happens to include art but you're already "whoring" yourself by offering your services for money. And the price of doing business is that you agree to abide by laws, one of which says that you cannot discriminate based on certain attributes.

OTOH, if you're a landscape artist who's commissioned by an oil company and you want to say "nope, I am not ethically comfortable with you" then yes, you have the right to refuse.

If a wedding photographer said YES I will do your photoshoot and then showed up to the wedding they still have to do the shoot. Its their job to perform the shoot because it's not fair to the couple to have NO photographer once the wedding starts.

I have creative pursuits. If someone told me to make a song about hating cats I'd be like "sorry I can't I love cats".

It's not about hiding behind religion for me it applies to anything I don't believe in or like or whatever. As an artist I shouldn't be forced to do something with my pen, camera, note, paper, whatever I don't like or agree with.

You seem to have a lot of hate in your heart dude.

Really? Lets say a wedding photographer was hired to shoot a wedding, but then refused to do so once the they found out it was going to be a wedding of a mixed race couple. And they said; "We're not going to shoot your wedding because interracial marriage is against our beliefs."

You don't think that sort of discrimination is worthy of the state human rights commission to fine that business?

Personally, I'm sick of bigots using religion as an excuse to treat fellow human beings like trash and getting away with it.

Maybe if you're a piece of shit bigot, you shouldn't own a business that deals with the public, or run for office.

Darkhand says...

This is probably the only time I'll ever agree with Mike Hucabee.

Gay people should not be turned away from like a best buy, applebees, whatever. But people who take photos, make videos, design clothes, they should be allowed to say I can't do this for you because my heart would not be in it.

Mass Incarceration in the US - Vlogbrothers

Darkhand says...

Personally I'd like to know more about the stat where it says we have 25% of the worlds incarcerated people.

Not saying our justice system is the best but considering how much worse it is/can get I don't think it's a fair statistic. To show how we have a problem.

How To Wreck Your Precious Lambo Aventador

Darkhand says...

Yeah it looked like he was going pretty fast.

Hopefully because there was video involved the person pulling out onto the road can catch a break.

I'm a good judge of depth and speed but not a lot of people are. They just assume you're going the same speed as everyone else and based their judgement off that.

Plus they also pulled into the lambo lane too, but there was a car double parked in the other lane!

It's like WHOSE AT FAULT THE LEGAL GAME or something.

Also yes Matte Black is sexy I have my bike all Matte'd (Matted?) out in black.

ChaosEngine said:

It also looks (and sounds) like he was going too fast, but it's hard to tell from the video alone.

Either way, an expensive trip!

Pretty car too, really like the matte black
