  • In my neighborhood AT&T is offering gigabit fiber-to-the-house for $80/month, IIRC. Been meaning to switch to it, actually.

    Edit: my point being, as long as they aren’t colluding to not compete with one another, you can get much better rates.

  • To me in Michigan, I also find those rates horrifyingly terrible, expensive, and inexplicably capped.

    But here we have a few options for ISPs. In places where they don’t really compete with each other, you can get absurdly terrible plans. And it’s perfectly legal because fuck you, consumer, that’s why.

  • I actually don’t disagree. That’s certainly the connotation that comes with “terrorism.”

    It’s also not how the legal definition works, unfortunately, which is just vague enough to let the FBI decide what is and isn’t terrorism based on how they feel about something. As I understand it, anyway. And since what he did falls under the legal definition, they can charge him with it.

  • The perpetrator of an act of terrorism isn’t part of the definition. They need not be affiliated with a group or military.

    I find it curious how many people on Lemmy were gleefully posting about CEOs and billionaires being scared because of this attack, and then to see push-back about the label of terrorism (where fear is part of the outcome, hence the name).

    The saying is “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” right?

  • So if you offer a black person a pink Jolly Rancher it’s racist?

    Edit: I’m so confused by the downvotes. Isn’t that what the Venn Diagram is saying? That watermelon-flavored Jolly Ranchers are racism?

  • I personally can't even understand how this can be funny.

    I think because the expected outcome is that he’s taking her home to rape her, but instead he’s turned her into bacon?

    It’s comedic because of the subversion of expectation. Not because the subject matter is in any way funny (it isn’t).

  • Well then define non-combatants.

    “a person who is not engaged in fighting during a war, especially a civilian, chaplain, or medical practitioner.”

    Sure he was responsible for deaths due to denying health coverage. But he’s still a civilian.
