Although sometimes you get lucky and the tech support person actually admits that their routers are absolute garbage and while they won't necessarily say "you should buy your own", they don't fight you and subtly encourage you when you say you plan to do just that.

Frontier tried to give us a dual band, single antenna router. 2.5ghz and 5ghz using the same antenna that just alternates between both networks constantly. The vast majority of my smart devices refused to connect because they need constant 2.4ghz network, not some laggy inconsistent psuedo dual network. Argued with the first tech support person trying to get them to understand that I physically could not use that router until they sent me to someone higher who admitted the routers were useless junk. Oh, and the settings could only be accessed by a web portal with limited functionality. The VAST majority of the features were locked behind customer service and having someone else do it for you. And of course their routers had a built in "free Wi-Fi for all our customers" hotspot set up so you were paying to extend THEIR network as well.

Now I have a "gaming" router with 3 antennas that I have complete control over and all of my devices are happy.

You realize I'm the one who originally said Speed Queen and called you performative and you've been being a douche to a completely different person thinking it was me, right?

I mean, the option is already there but here we have someone whining that they'd gladly pay extra if the option was available. What else was it if not performative?

Edit: didn't realize I was replying to actual OP. If I'm a dick hole, you're a twatwaffle. Given the answer by multiple people and all you want to do is argue with them. Exactly what I'm saying: your outrage is performative only. You don't actually give a shit and won't put out the extra money - you'll just whine and complain on the internet like a big baby.

You can already but you won't because it's 3-4x the price. Speed Queen is one of them. Your comment is just performative.

And was debunked then as being bullshit. Numerous other people posted the logs of their machines on the network and no one even came close to these numbers. Ffs, that kind of data usage would imply VIDEO STREAMING. You're not getting that amount from usage/diagnostic data. And I love people saying "oh well it's audio recording you" with zero proof, let alone that none of these machines are even voice activated(themselves, not referring to using it with Alexa/Google home, in which case the thing recording you isn't Samsung).

It's just fear mongering with no proof because it aligns with things we've seen before and want to believe is true.

Outdated? You mean the euphemism treadmill took them over? Exactly like I'm warning about pedophile? Oh no, it's exactly what I said.

Eat shit and die.

Oh, don't worry, it's not what you think. I redefined "eat" to mean "live" because eating is how you live. "Shit" now just refers to something long. And "die" is used ironically now to mean "prosper". So really I said "love long and prosper", the words just evolved is all. You shouldn't take offense. Language evolves. It's perfectly fine to take established words and completely change them like you said.

So again, eat shit and die.

Pot of crabs.... were just a giant pot of crabs pulling each other back in.

Cool so if anything can mean whatever we want then you're a cantaloupe. I just redefined the word to mean people like you. I'm not wrong, language evolves!

Yeah, we can play these stupid games, but we just become dumber in the process.

Creep, pervert, degenerate, abuser.... The words are there. We don't need to co-opt another. All you'll do is speed up the euphemism treadmill. Once pedophile is meaningless, you'll have to come up with a whole new word to describe it and just start the process over again. But sure, have fun reinventing words that already exist because your vocabulary is so diminutive that you lack other coherent verbiage to describe how you feel.

Also, don't we deride the other side for spouting rhetoric to twist things to meet the definitions they want? So why is it ok for us to do the same? This is just the clown meme. You're following their exact playbook while wearing a red nose and poofy hair and claiming you're somehow different and superior.

Nah, you're just a bunch of gaggling morons too. Imbeciles. Mouth breathers. Mentally deficient. See how language can be fun? Look at all these insults I have available to me and not once did I resort to calling you something like a "dragon fucker" just to sound outlandish. I used accurate descriptions of your lack of mental ability and reasoning skills.

Maybe try that?

I literally read the Wikipedia article you chastised the other person for not reading. I'm sorry if facts offend you.

Eat shit troll. When the right does this it's "propaganda and reprehensible" but when you do it it's "justified by the ends". You're no better than them spouting bullshit to fit your narrative regardless of facts.

Maybe reread my comments - I can Jerry Seinfeld a disgusting pervert who takes advantage of emotionally immature and vulnerable girls. Notice how I call him out for being a piece of shit and don't lie at the same time? It's possible.

Learn more words you retard. Don't be mad at others because their vocabulary is better than yours and they can express themselves more eloquently than your backwards ass.

30 states have an unrestricted age of consent at 16. Only 7 have it at 17 and 13 have it at 18.

Maybe educate yourself before calling someone out with something blatantly proven wrong.

Yes, and due to usage, "literally" now means "figuratively", effectively diluting the word and making it useless. Plenty of us aren't pedophiles but rather pedants and autists who just want to see things be said correctly and clearly. By the new definition, an 18yo having sex with a 17yo would be a pedophile too, but does that really seem accurate?

If we start exaggerating everything then soon we will be as bad as the other side that does it for literally everything as well(am I being serious or hyperbolic with my use of "literally" here? See how it's unclear?)

Again, tiring to have to say this, but I don't support pedophiles. I just support clear, accurate language. Call it the horrible thing it is, but call it the right thing. Be accurate in your insults lest you just become "the boy who cried wolf". Use the word too carelessly and it loses its deservedly negative meaning.

Edit: For example, it would be better to call Jerry a "gross, sleazy pervert who preys on emotionally immature/vulnerable girls to take advantage of them". You can be plenty insulting, descriptive, AND accurate. "Pervert" was already right there and definitely doesn't have a positive meaning.

Second Edit: also, "local age of consent" means that in some places where the age is lower, say 13/14, it's NOT pedophilia by the new definition even if the person had delayed puberty. So some actual pedophilia wouldn't even be pedophilia with the new definition. It's an appeal to authority rather than science.
