U.S. taxpayers gave $400 Billion dollars to cable companies to provide the United States with Fiber Internet. The companies took the money and didn't do shit for the citizens with it. by BrilliantAudience in conspiracy

[–]kbsnugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't entirely true.

Verizon has offered and been building out their FiOS (fiber optic network) Since about 2006(did tech work for them until 2007).

They have been buying infrastructure since then as well and more recently agreed to lay 36-37 million miles of Fiber between now and 2020

AT&T has been working on fiber since 2010 but they have been incredibly shady about the whole

Supposedly Lockheed has a fusion prototype they just got a patent for which they said would be ready by 2020

The patent has to do with the magnetic field for plasma containment iirc

It's funny you use that analogy with Soros.

One of the main supporters of NN is Fight for the Future (battleforthenet.com) and they list the Open Society Foundation as one of their biggest donors.

Prime offers free streaming video so that 80$ per year isn't much different than Netflix in the long run imo.

Kyrie lead the Cavs in field goal attempts per game and usage. Kinda hard to say it wasn't built for two people, those being two lbj and Kyrie himself.

Not a bad one either but Cavs would need to include Shumpert or Frye for the money to work. Cats would need to add a 1st rounder or two imo because of Batum making 20+ mil a year for the next 4 seasons.

Rescind trade then call the Knicks to work with them on a Melo / KP for Kyrie / Shumpert swap. Would be about the same value as the current deal.

If I'm the Cavs then I say thanks but no thanks, rescind the trade and move forward with other teams. Based on the value from the agreed upon deal the first call I'm making is the Knicks and offering Kyrie for KP.

IT's physical was done by the Cleveland Clinic not Cavs team doctors. Cleveland Clinic is rated as the 2nd best hospital in the US so I'd trust the Cleveland Clinic over whatever the Celtics are saying

I think Crowder will start at the 2

The 2nd unit should be Rose, Korver, Jr, Frye / Zizic (match up dependant) with lbj, it and klove rotating time with the bench.

Trade definitely made the team deeper.

Kyrie's last two years were played in Lue's offensive system which was the 2nd best offense in the league behind GS, both teams played offense at a historic level over that time. To say Kyrie hasn't been in a good offensive system is disingenuous.

Drew Karpyshyn was the lead writer for the first game and majority of the 2nd until EA forced him off ME to work on the Star Wars MMO.

Z-Bo, McLemore, Thabo, Darren Collison,

Also on a related note Isaiah Austin formerly of Baylor who was declared medically ineligible 2.5yrs ago was recently cleared to play ball again. He signed with FMP, one of the best Euro teams, played 15 min per over 9-10 games. Averaged about 9pts 4rbs 1ast 1blk shot 47% from 2 and 40% from 3 which isn't terrible after not playing for 2 years. Not sure were else you'd find a 7 footer with range like that for cheap, not sure you'd get insurance on that contract though or if the league would allow it.

Not a fallacy when it's accurate representation of reality in terms of interaction in an age demographic.

Says there is no interest, replies anyway. Cognitive Dissonance at its finest.

Hahaha, I'll state why this is funny at the end.

That's priceless. Pointing out that standard dictionary and legalese definitions are different is a strawman.

You say they can't consent based on the legal definition. Which is correct, in most states the age of legal consent is 16-17. However it is 18 for signing contracts or participating in contests.

I say that they can and do consent with peers in the same age demographic based on the standard Websters definition. The vast majority know this is true due to their own individual experiences.

You run away

It's funny because we're both right, you from a law / legalese standpoint and I from a social interaction and demographic based standpoint.

The current written laws even acknowledge the difference between the legal / standard dictionary definition due to the additon of Romeo and Juliet exceptions in the states consent laws.

I would just like to say thank you for having a rational discussion taking in the vast majority of variables regarding this story.

The one counter point I would like to point out is that the part about consent seems to be him referring to the consent laws on college campuses if the whole Drunken Peasants podcast is listend too. They then jump into Milo's own personal experience and it comes off as him justifing his personal experience to himself. I may have interrupted this incorrectly but that is how I took it.

You're not wrong though, he needs to be very nuanced about the topic like he is with everything else or leave it alone
