There are multiple tiers of bandwidth I can get exclusively for video sites with my phone plan. non video sites aren’t throttled under any plan, but YouTube, Netflix, etc are depending on what tier you pay for. The people I know who pay for the top plans get access to the offered streaming service with priority bandwidth.

I’m not sure this is universally true. Technically, phone companies violate net neutrality all the time by providing faster “lanes” for or access to certain streaming services (e.g. getting Paramount Plus or Peacock for “free” with your phone plan).

Yeah it’s the one for homeschooled evangelicals primarily. I did British Parli/Worlds style debates in college at another private christian college (school didn’t sponsor NPDA) after spending HS doing NCFCA.

I spent three weeks in China (Beijing area) about ten years ago on a school trip. Loved every minute of it and part of me wishes I could uproot everything and teach ESL over there or something, but I keep telling myself I need to actually learn mandarin first.

I think the US embargo on Cuba is a genocide. No really, it fits the UN definition of a genocide

Based take and should be added to the rotating header message list.

I was raised in an incredibly conservative/evangelical environment and I remember a lot changing in high school when I started trending towards libertarianism - stuff like "hey maybe gay people should be able to get married, the war on drugs is bad, and war itself sucks too!" I always kinda saw democrats as spineless idiots and that kept me from ever really becoming a "liberal" in the traditional American sense. In college I started reading more about leftist economic and social policy, which led to the "woah I've been lied to about the USSR my whole life" phase. Around that time Bernie Sanders started becoming a thing ("hey this guy is way better than all those other dems!"), but after he got ratfucked in 2016 I realized that demsocs and electoralism in general weren't going to be the answer to our global problems. I started reading more about imperialism and learning about how the West is the reason why most of the world is fucked. Started reading Marx, Lenin, Parenti, etc. and fully made the shift to communist.
