KOSA and other Bad Internet Bills (US-specific for now)
Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, Fight for the Future, ACLU, Woodhull Foundation, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We're organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.
This community is for news stories, opinion pieces, and action links about these bad internet bills. Please help get the word out!
And if you use microblogging software like Mastodon, please also check out the #BadInternetBills hashtag.

The only people who would want to jump in that hole would be people who don't want to live, really like sharks, or want to protest the lack of pothole repair of their local streets. Though I'd imagine the local/city news channel would probably want to film that for their evening news broadcast.
Regardless of what you think, you can't change people's minds on how they vote, especially by trying to coerce/guilt-trip them, when you can't see how they vote. Its up to them, not you/me.
Sharks notwithstanding, of course. lol
(Also, if I was you, in that scenario I'd call an aquarium to pick up the sharks, and not worry about the ethics of voting your choice vs what someone else tells you to vote for.)

There's a thing called "politics" and it's all about changing the way people vote.
Says the person who talks about potholes in streets full of sharks.
Also, didn't seem to work this last time. Just saying.
You can't guilt-trip people to voting for your guy, your guy has to earn those votes.

I apologize. Obviously what i thought was a light hearted metaphor has triggered something deeply disturbing to you. I apologize again.
Obviously what I thought was a light-hearted tease about the poor usage of a metaphor has triggered something deeply disturbing to someone, somewhere.
Also, noticed how you didn't respond to the point I was making. ...

I've apparently hurt you very deeply.
Again, I apologize.
Ahhh, the ole "I'm rubber and you're glue defense", a long-time favorite.
Have a nice day. :)
