You all still here

2018-05-07 06:41:24 UTC  

like, ya need to get some research papers and primary sources

2018-05-07 06:41:36 UTC  

not a 45 YO neckbeard

2018-05-07 06:42:11 UTC  

a 45 YO neckbeard with cited sources in the description would probably be better than absolutely nothing tho

2018-05-07 06:42:19 UTC  

right

2018-05-07 06:42:28 UTC  

but he doesn't site any

2018-05-07 06:42:30 UTC  

cite

2018-05-07 06:42:41 UTC  

The other alternative.

2018-05-07 06:42:50 UTC  

Is going through the 45 videos he's done discussing it with onetab sources.

2018-05-07 06:43:23 UTC  

I'll give him a fair listen tomorrow at work.

2018-05-07 06:43:50 UTC  

You would think he would put all sources down

2018-05-07 06:43:57 UTC  

It's a livestream.

2018-05-07 06:44:06 UTC  

It's not a produced video, it's a livestream.

2018-05-07 06:44:10 UTC  

you can edit descriptions

2018-05-07 06:44:22 UTC  

it would just be easier is all im sayin

2018-05-07 06:44:27 UTC  

To be fair, we don't know what angle he's taking on this to begin with.

2018-05-07 06:44:38 UTC  

He might cite articles visually.

2018-05-07 06:44:47 UTC  

etc.

2018-05-07 06:45:01 UTC  

and sources sometimes dont doo much. Like huffpo will have an article about "the health benefits of chocolate" and cite a study but if you read the study it is inconclusive

2018-05-07 06:45:23 UTC  

But women love chocolate, so publish it anyway.

2018-05-07 06:45:23 UTC  

yeah, I'm not trying to discredit him

2018-05-07 06:47:34 UTC  

Holy fuck you have no idea how difficult it is to concentrate on anything when someone's singing off-key reggae in the background.

2018-05-07 06:47:36 UTC  

At 2 in the morning.

2018-05-07 06:47:54 UTC  

It may surprise you to know I know that feel.

2018-05-07 06:48:09 UTC  

At least you don't live with "moderate progressive liberals" right?

2018-05-07 06:48:20 UTC  

Well that's interesting.

2018-05-07 06:48:25 UTC  

I'd forgotten about this.

2018-05-07 06:48:30 UTC  

I did, once.

2018-05-07 06:48:38 UTC  

You guys familiar with Dave Cullen/Computing Forever?

2018-05-07 06:48:49 UTC  

no

2018-05-07 06:49:20 UTC  

He's the only conservative voice I follow that also happens to be super into tech and the like. (I follow tons of other conservatives otherwise.)

2018-05-07 06:49:30 UTC  

And he's against the loss of net neutrality.

2018-05-07 06:49:38 UTC  

is this loss?

2018-05-07 06:50:31 UTC  

It's arguing against the remote possibility of something maybe happening.

2018-05-07 06:51:12 UTC  

No ISPs that would be affected by Net Neutrality have made moves to do anything that would be stopped by Net Neutrality as passed in 2014

2018-05-07 06:52:35 UTC  

As I see it, Net Neutrality is largely fear mongering, and largely a distraction.

2018-05-07 06:52:58 UTC  

it doesn't matter to me if a conservative is against the loss of NN, I wan't to see data and reasons for why it would need to stay, and so far I haven't come across any evidence for keeping it

2018-05-07 06:53:08 UTC  

Sesta/Fosta are far more damaging than the loss of Net Neutrality is.

2018-05-07 06:54:11 UTC  

I honestly don't care that much about tech

2018-05-07 06:54:59 UTC  

I'm still trying to figure out why those were signed into law in the first place.

2018-05-07 06:55:02 UTC  

like, I just grabbed the issue because it was controversial and so I sought out data
