Why "a woman" specifically? And how would that be against her will?

I'm more inclined to trust this account than I am with others because there's a lot of things she mentioned which are quite synonymous with the 'tech bro' industry:

My work was called "dogshit" I was called "incompetent". When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to "put on my big girl pants" and be "more assertive".

However, I will withhold my judgement until I hear both sides of the story like always. I also don't know why she didn't press criminal charges, I'm sure sexual assault is a crime in Canada and you won't have to pay legal fees like she mentioned towards the end. And one more thing, she should have mentioned these "managers", "certain members", and alleged sex offenders by name.

Here are a few examples that could support the claim that Republicans have opposed net neutrality regulations:

  • In 2017, the Republican-controlled FCC under chairman Ajit Pai repealed the net neutrality rules that had been put in place during the Obama administration. This allowed ISPs more freedom to throttle or prioritize certain content and services.
  • Congressional Republicans have generally opposed legislation to restore net neutrality rules. In 2018, the Senate passed a bill to reinstate the rules, but it did not advance in the Republican-controlled House.
  • Major broadband providers like Comcast and Verizon have historically donated more to Republican politicians than Democrats. Republicans have received criticisms that these donations sway their positions against net neutrality rules.

Here are some sources that could counter or provide an alternative perspective to the claim that Republicans uniformly oppose net neutrality:

  • The conservative advocacy group FreedomWorks supported the 2017 FCC net neutrality repeal under Ajit Pai. However, they opposed a bill in 2012 that they argued would have given the government too much control over the internet. This illustrates more nuanced positions.
  • Former Senator John Thune (R-SD) proposed net neutrality legislation in 2015 that attempted to find a middle ground. It would have banned blocking and throttling but avoided heavier utility-style regulations advocated by Democrats. This demonstrated a more moderate Republican approach.
  • Polls indicate Republican voters are nearly as supportive of net neutrality protections as Democrats and independents. A 2018 poll by the University of Maryland found 86% of Republicans opposed the FCC repeal. This suggests public opinion within the party is mixed.

As for your last point, you act like any of those dinosaurs know how to.

Yeah, it's pretty simple.

My LG V60 didn't have this problem. I used Niagara and Nova launcher full time on it.

Yes because deepening the divide between political groups is the way to go.

Liberals: I'm better than you because I believe...

Conservatives: No, I'm better than you because I believe this...

And you know what? Nothing gets done and we're stuck in an ever worsening situation. I'd be happy to discuss solutions.

Climate change is hitting close to home for nearly 2 out of 3 of the 1,285 people surveyed

Or

Climate change is hitting close to home for nearly 2 out of 3 people surveyed

Those are much more honest titles. I refuse to support media outlets that use tactics like this and I'll call it out every time.
