It amuses me in one sense when someone says stop posting certain topics because it bugs them, yet they choose to view it of their own free will. We are all capable of ignoring stuff we donāt like, no one is coerced into consuming said information. My personal policy is if I donāt want to see something, I just look away. Not at all complicated.

Ok, I see a lot of music on hereā¦ I think itās time to change it up a bit. 
Hereās an oldie but a goodie about the introduction of the dial tone, dating back to 1954. As a lifelong phone user, they do belabor some of the points, but itās fascinating historically because they go into & show some of the old equipment.
Also I think itās a great YouTube channel in general, with lots of old videos featuring the AT&T Global Network Operations Center before the 1984 breakup, the āStep By Step switchā (which the VECTOR people loved because itās all about electromagnetic switches running the phone network), and āThe Hello Machineā, chronicling the birth and bring-up of that systemās successor, the ESS switch.

How cool would it be to have that dialing simulator? Did you call any of the numbers
For that matter; How cool would it be that we had an actual payphone (free for use) and tty terminal at the space which used the in house pbx?
Payphone, in a TARDIS!!!

yes! Iāve actually we could do that
Now only if we could park it near the space
But see that is the difference between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives move on, liberals need a law banning said content because they donāt agree

Speaking of conservativesā¦
Bill Cosby was found guilty on all counts today!
so I thought that was a think only in the 90ās and everyone has moved onā¦
Whatās next, the trial of O.J. Simpson: Part deux?
Not as long as you have Brock Turners in this world and judges who will excuse him.

Thankfully this liberal doesnāt need a law telling you that this was not excellent.
Be nice.
Do better.

I appreciate the attempt at virtue signaling 
However, just because you disagree doesnt make me a bad person for stating itā¦
Didnāt say you were a bad person. Just saying that it is up to everyone to maintain a peaceful environment where everyone feels comfortable. Stereotyping people based on their political leanings does not do that.

That is a gross over-generalization to the point of just being incorrect.
Ashleyās post doesnāt strike me as virtue signalling, sheās just pointing out the flaws in your ālogicā.
āConservativeā vs. āLiberalā isnāt a very useful way to categorize people, and it really shows when you try to make generalizations like āliberals want rules banning content they donāt agree withā
Where are you getting your info on āliberalsā?

- I had to look up what virtue signaling is. I donāt see how I was virtue signaling, but I learned a new thing so thatās cool, I guess.
- I think that @yashsedai knows there isnāt any logic behind his statement. He is just throwing around insults, which isnāt cool. I see plenty of people on talk making flawed arguments, but there is never an excuse to be mean. THAT is why I said something.
- I would like to know where a lot of people get their information on liberals as well

- Virtue Signaling - the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate oneās good character or the moral correctness of oneās position on a particular issue.
Your statement, that my statement was not excellent is in fact an opinion. Your further attempt was insinuating that i was interfering with the maintenance of a peaceful environment. You admonished me for ānot being niceā and told me I should ādo betterā. This further insinuates that you are morally correct in your statement and is an attempt at providing support for your argument. My opinion was not an insult. It was a response to the above content about gun control and the video.

I do in fact believe what I wrote. You are demonstrating my point. You are attempting to make use of the concept that I am ādisturbing good orderā and being insulting. Your further insinuation of my ābeing meanā is inaccurate. There is no good or bad in my voicing an opinion. Only you can choose how you wish to be affected. Therein lies the difference in viewpoints. You donāt like what I stated, now you are attempting to legislate me in to compliance with your point of view by stating Iām āmeanā and ājust throwing around insultsā.

As a self proclaimed liberal, you did in fact make my point!
Cheers
