I might be mistaken then, but doesn’t part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can’t throttle unlimited plans?

I used the phone app and started a chat. Here’s what I asked, and their response:
T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.
I’m not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they’re definitely more expensive. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.
You need to opt out of the transition.
The word “radiation” has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean “TOXIC MAGIC AIR”. Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).
In this case they’re 100% just reducing the gain on the phone’s signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.
False equivalency. “Addict” has different meaning dependent on the volatility of what you’re addicted to. “Master Race” has one meaning.
My point though is that the implications of both phrases is the same.
“We are part of the glorious PC Master Race” = “We are part of a group of humans who understand PCs are better than any alternative”
One’s more extreme with a stained past (regardless of how subjectively cringey it may sound), the other is not.
Comparing critics of the PCMR name to people who think the word master
is racist is pretty disingenuous. It’s literally master race
, a term that was coined to identify a group of humankind which is better than the rest, a term that is inseparable from Nazi’s.
It’s not about being offended. It’s about being at odds with myself for wanting to be a part of a community because I agree with its values, while wanting to disassociate from the community because of a (seemingly) easy to change name that people don’t want to change.
I’m bad at coming up with names, but anything that evokes “is best” that isn’t “master race” would work.
Here are some probably bad examples:
Assuming this post stays up, guess I’ll start.
(Edit: first off, the question is easy to misread, and I voted the opposite of my intent. So I voted twice in my intended intent to offset it)
I voted yes because I fully recognize it’s a joke, but I also fully recognize it’s a joke in poor taste.
I watched Yahtzee religiously back in the day, laughed at this specific joke, and thought it was odd a community adopted the name.
I’d also like to point people to this community without awkward introductions.
I was not expecting the caption on that last panel. Genuinely made me laugh out loud, lol.
Are those all AI generated images? They seem wonky.
Gee, imagine if we trained our upcoming AI overlords that you can eat pianos and pandas, but not hamburgers, lol.
Actually, in 2022 there were 94m barrels produced globally per day. So this is 2%. Statistically, not insignificant. Hopefully it’ll continue to grow rapidly.
