Summer semester... DONE! Only two left and I'll have my goddamn MBA.

My clever babe

Summer semester... DONE! Only two left and I'll have my goddamn MBA.

Nice, that's awesome.

I thought about an MBA for a bit, but it would be almost identical to my undergrad and isn't really valuable for what I've been doing to this point and I really didn't want to so I ditched that idea.

Reserved seating for a weekday matinee? What the ****?

yeah.....the entire theatre is reserved seating now apparently

 

[HandshakeLine]

Do they raise up? I'm 5'3" and inevitably some tall person sits in front of me, blocking my view.

5'3" in the flesh but 10' talk in our hearts

 

[Ogrezilla]

so if you just walk in to see a movie, do you have to pick a seat when you buy the ticket?

 

[Asuna]

so if you just walk in to see a movie, do you have to pick a seat when you buy the ticket?

that's correct

 

[Ogrezilla]

that's correct

that's really weird.

 

[Pick87your71Poison]

that's really weird.

Yeah I went to a movie in Monroeville a couple of months ago and had to do that and it threw me off. Luckily there were about 6 people in the theater so it didn't make any difference.

 

[Asuna]

that's really weird.

yeah it is. it's a popular movie theatre, but even still...there aren't that many people there on an early morning day

 

[Speaking Moistly]

No one looks an ass kisser.

 

[Ogrezilla]

right, I was thinking you meant the option was there for every seat all day, not that it was the only way to see any movies there. Weird. But I guess if it's available for every seat, it has to be that way unless they want to deal with forcing people to move all the time. But yeah, that does seem weird.

I think I matched with Brian Trottier's daughter on Tinder.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I think I matched with Brian Trottier's daughter on Tinder.

Did she tell you to get off the ice?

 

[Brandinho]

I think I matched with Brian Trottier's daughter on Tinder.

I hope she resembles her mother.

Ok this net neutrality stuff. Someone tell me if I got this right.

So without it, your isp can slow down a service it doesn't like, for example if your isp is cool with Netflix it will load just fine but if it isn't a fan of Amazon then that won't be prioritized for loading. With net neutrality, it wouldn't discriminate. Correct?

Why is that a bad thing then?

I believe we are wanting to protect net neutrality. They are trying to get rid of it, leading to the former scenario.

Why is it a bad thing that ISPs can arbitrarily decide what content to restrict or inhibit the free viewing of? I feel like the question answers itself, to be perfectly honest.

Ah ok. So if I come back home to the US my president is an infantile dip **** and my isp can limit **** by whomever they have in their pockets or vice versa.


What a time to be alive.

Yeah, the only two groups of people who seem to think net neutrality is a bad thing are ISP companies and Republican lawmakers. Sadly, the chairman of the FCC is little more than one of McConnell's stooges.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Had the same thing happen to me. First time I've ever had to reserve seats, and it just so happened to be during a matinee when there was only me, my friend, and some weird dude that sat way at the back.

I suppose he would have been even creepier if he chose to sit right next to us in an otherwise empty theater.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

I believe we are wanting to protect net neutrality. They are trying to get rid of it, leading to the former scenario.

I get the "main" point of it, but I kind of want to know what other "fine print" things are attached to it, too, and I don't think I'm anywhere close to caught up on what those are.

Has anyone been following this story? Crazy stuff. Doesn't seem like there's a clear motive.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

That Cosmo dude looks..........special.

 

[Brandinho]

Both of them do. You can't trust a dude with a weak chin.

That was Stevens

Trottier's daughter might call Randy "the best" or "a ****ing superstar."
