Why abolish the word slave? I've heard of people advocating for abolishing the word "black" also. It's crazy to me. I don't understand how using the word at all somehow advocates for human slavery.
No no, you're really not far off. Few, if any people here are advocating for CF to continue to provide the same services for the same price. It seems clear to most (including the author) that a price increase was justified. The problem we're all having is how they went about it, agnostic of the client.
(I don't care who the client was and don't care one way or the other about online casinos.)
If they're charging $120,000 per client, it only takes 17 potential lost customers to constitute "millions." It's realistic that at least 17 companies might be put-off with the way this was handled.
Just because you don't like online casinos, doesn't mean cloudflare didn't completely fuck this up. They could have negotiated reasonable terms to increase their revenue on this account instead of going the route of stonewalling and extortion.
So not only did they lose this customer, but this bad press will ensure a lot of others never sign up with them, potentially costing them millions in foregone sales.
Just think of your computer or server as a huge building with thousands of doors. Most are closed, but you purposely open a few to allow traffic in and/or out of. Those that are open are only open for a specific purpose and will only lead in or out of a specific place in the building.
Hot take: I have never regretted being circumcized and never met anyone who regretted being circumcized so banning it doesn't make sense for that reason alone. Some parents pierce their children's ears without their consent, some give them frenectomies, pull teeth, reshape heads, bind feet, or do a variety of other "elective" procedures so I'm not sure why circumcision has so much hate.
Dude you're arguing opposite your position. The internal consistency of your argument has broken down.
You say above you're against a rule like "no one else can have orange stuff because I don't like orange stuff" while at the same time arguing "everyone else has to like pets because I like pets." Can't you see how that's hypocritical?
And to be clear, you completely misrepresent my position in the first place. I'm not for requiring anyone to do anything. I'm against requiring landlords to allow pets. If they want to allow pets, great 👍.
But if a property owner wants to advertise their community as quieter (no barking), cleaner, with less poop and pee on the grass, and less dander in the air, then why would you prohibit renters from seeking a nicer place like that for them to live?
Pets don't need to be "part of the human experience" any more than drugs do. They're optional and some people choose to have them and some don't. Some people don't like pets and don't want to be forced to live around others' pets.
Have you even thought for a second that some people might CHOOSE housing based on the fact that a community doesn't allow pets? And by "mandating all landlords allow pets" you are eliminating housing options for these people? God you people are like religious zealots and think everyone should be forced to believe in the same things you do.
Friggin crazy fascists. "You're going to like my pitbull (oh he's harmless and you're dog-racist if you believe otherwise) and now I want to force you to raise your kids around my untrained shit factory and step in his crap and listen to him bark constantly or you're a horrible person."
Holy hell I hate you with the passion of a thousand suns.
Ok I was prepared to start white-knighting here and tell you to fuck off for making fun of a disabled person but then I thought I'd search this up first and...well, carry on.
My wife and I collect souvenir lapel pins from places we travel to. We write the date on the back, and keep them in a shadow box on the wall in chronological order.
It's nice as it's not very expensive to buy them, and they don't take up a lot of space to keep, and we have a nice little history of our travels at a glance.
I mean, technically, any profitable product will single handedly improve a company's profit margin, but I get your drift -- the Stanley Cup crazy is extraordinary.
