Net Neutrality is a non-partisan issue that has no good arguments against it. The only argument you can make against the 2015 Net Neutrality order is that the principles of Net Neutrality (those being No Blocking, No Throttling, and No Paid Prioritization) are not legitimate for some reason or another, (despite the fact that the order itself provided actual evidence that held up in a court of law, but who cares? why would I ever read a legal document to know what it actually says?). Everything else is pure ideology mired in misinformation and outright lies. Net Neutrality makes no statements on who can be an internet provider, it only says that internet providers are not allowed to block lawful traffic, throttle lawful traffic, have 'fast-lanes,' or hide any information that would allow a consumer to make an informed decision on their purchase of internet service.

The FCC has been trying to enforce Net Neutrality since its first policy statement on the Internet in 2005, and have been committed to protecting openness and transparency on communications networks since 1968. Between the 2005 policy statement and the 2015 Net Neutrality order, the FCC was caught in legal battles that ultimately ruled that the FCC was doing the right thing, but lacked the regulatory authority to enforce the rules that they were trying to anyway. The 2015 Net Neutrality order was the culmination of Ten years of legal battles that showed the FCC lacked the regulatory authority to enforce the rules that had been laid down under the Bush administration, and which reflected over 40 years of action in protecting openness and transparency in the market. The FCC's hand was forced by the pre-existing structure of the 1934 Communications act, the 1996 Telecommunications act, and their own rulings on the internet in particular. It exists as a consequences of pre-existing rules, not as a set of new rules designed only for the purpose of government over-reach.

Here are links to some of the FCC's previous policy statements and Orders on the Internet, as well as the 1996 Telecommunications act, the 1968 Carterfone Decision, and the 1934 Communications act.

You can get most of it from just reading the 2015 Order, though. Of particular note should be pages 18 to 34, which provides a history of FCC decisions regarding the internet and communication dating back to 1968, as well as the justification for enforcing these rules.

There are no non-aids PUGs in CS. Faceit and CEVO are both free, and therefore full of aids players, and ESEA is ESEA, and so it's also full of aids players too.

PUGs with randoms will always be aids because there's no punishment for being the most toxic player on the planet, you can just re-cue and never see the people whose match you ruined ever again. And as a result everyone goes into every match expecting aids, and so when anything goes even a little bit wrong, they immediately jump to maximum toxicity, because that's how they expected the game to go anyway. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Either make lots of friends and only play 5mans, join a community that does in-house 10mans with captains and the like, join a team and scrim a lot, or do all three, or any combination therein.

Just don't play PUGs in CS:GO, it'll drive you insane.

bewaaaaaaaaaaare

this post is bad and you should feel bad for posting such a bad post.

there's a difference between casually playing video games or watching tv and doing these things as a hobby. weebs aren't weebs because they watch an anime when someone tells them too, they're weebs because they watch all of them and tell other people which to skip (all anime) and which to watch (literally no anime). and the same thing can be said of "GAMERS" and casuals, or of people who watch tv casually (most people) and the bottom of the barrel trash of humanity (weebs).

really, most people don't have hobbies. they do a variety of stuff casually depending on how they feel that day. one day maybe they want to play some Overwatch, maybe the next they want to watch some Game of Thrones, and maybe the next they want to read some Stephen King. it's not their hobby, it's a way to pass the time until they die, and they're doing it not because they have a passion for the things that they're doing, but instead because they're scared of being bored.

if someone has something they're really passionate about and they spend all their free time doing that thing, or talking about that thing with other people who are really passionate about that thing, then why shouldn't they identify themselves with that thing? what else should they identify themselves with, what's between their legs? what they wish were between their legs? their skin color? how much they hate other people's skin color? if that's what a person is really passionate about then fine, but you shouldn't tell other people it's wrong to identify with their hobby.

what you've done is confuse casuals with actual hobbyists (probably intentionally in order to get some retard like me to spend 20 minutes writing a response, but whatever), and in doing so demonstrated a total lack of understanding of the mindset of either. the casual is uninterested in any aspect of a thing, other than how that thing can entertain them, be it television, music, video games, books, or anything in between. and all people are casually interested in most things. no person has the time or energy to have every hobby, and so they either find some area that they really enjoy and decide to invest a lot of their free time into, or do what most people do, and spend their time simply consuming the media produced expressly for casuals.

and any given person can be in either of these states at any given time, hobbies don't necessarily have to be all-consuming life-long commitments, but instead might last a couple of weeks to several years, or even a lifetime depending on how committed a person is. and this might be further influenced by the changing culture around a person, or their own changing financial situation, or any number of other factors that might change a person's interest in some area which they previously considered their hobby.
