The deal just finished; we both won. The government decided that the FTC keeps legislative control over the internet instead of the FCC (yay me) but also established that throttling is bad and would be used as the focus of antitrust lawsuits if the situation arises (yay you).

Explain your thing.

Explain your thing.

While Net Neutrality is its own debate, that's not what was going under review. What was being reviewed was the revocation of Title II. Title II effectively transferred power over the internet from the FTC to the FCC and therefore the control of the behavior of ISPs. The FTC takes a more trust-busty approach than the FCC, which takes a "we'll monitor everything you do to make sure the ISPs are treating you fairly." Title II greatly expanded the government's power over the internet because the reach of the FCC is much longer than the FTC—the FCC was given power to do just about whatever they wanted, but they promised they would only use the bill to enforce the large umbrella of "net neutrality." So there's no guarantee that the FCC wouldn't in a few years begin snooping and recording everyone's internet activity under the guise of "keeping the internet neutral." Title II was a privacy nightmare and revoking it was a good thing—it would have led to not only the continuation of the ISP monopolies, but also the government sticking its hand in the pot too.

it's not lame at all
it's logical and that makes me happy
There's no need to contrive interesting things to make it interesting. The more contrived or artificial the less interesting, IMO.

So what happens if we just leave it on the final monika? How often does she say things and what's the time cap?

That's odd. I just did the same thing I did before and suddenly got a different unlocked poem.

That didn't happen before either... OH because I had quit out instead of reaching the end screen

So what happens if we just leave it on the final monika? How often does she say things and what's the time cap?

There are around 30 different phrases.

How long does it take for her to take the hint if I don't hit yes?

How long does it take for her to take the hint if I don't hit yes?

Literally forever.

Literally forever.

Damn. How long until a new statement?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Also forever, I believe. I could be wrong, but I don't think the script has any time-based events.

What about the 30 year one?

Monika you're making me like you more and more fucking stop it.

Touché.

Monika is top 2, easily. Also, someone asked the dev whether she truly loved you or just the idea of you (you being another sapient lifeform).

I mean it's obviously the second. She knows nothing whatsoever about the player.
