Or at least, my understanding is that the biggest reason that Microsoft was brought to court for monopoly stuff was that they weren't lobbying congress. After that case, they started lobbying a whole lot more, and nothing has happened since.

I'm insanely bothered by the internet bill of rights

that's been one of the most bothersome concepts that's ever come across policy in my eyes

Ideally we don't even have to have it

it's nothing more than another government intervention

I don't know what that even means. I've never heard anyone reference it except by name.

just like gun rights, we shouldn't need a piece of paper to tell us that we have the right to be armed

talk next time then

should go to bed

Hmm I guess we didn’t get my patron status fixed in time

@Matt Christiansen Benny here says he's a patron. I know you're busy with the calls, but if you get a half a second...

So after you put in roll call, where do you go to wait?

in one of these here waiting rooms

Either one?

yep!

one is quiet for those who want to just chill

Gotcha thanks
