I think it’s fucking hilarious that the FCC just tried to slide the whole net neutrality thing by, meanwhile buzzfeed and other hellsites are like “Is it really that important? :)”
Meanwhile Ajit Pai is now under federal investigation, almost the entire country is making its own state legislature to supersede the FCC regulations, the giants of the tech industry and getting ready to launch a massive legal battle, and half of congress is against it and need literally one more vote to overturn it. As well as plenty of other loopholes that people are taking advantage of, i.e. Mayors and some states just going “While you have no legal reason to follow net neutrality. We’ll just not do business with you if you don’t follow it :)” .
It warms my heart. Also makes me feel better about the dystopian hellscape to come because if whatever corporate shits were pulling the strings on this one seriously thought they could just slide this by and hope nobody would notice then holy fuck they’ve got to have brain problems of some sort.
Someone: “I want a cat/rabbit/other animal that will be super openly affectionate, go for walks, play fetch, not mind being handled rough, never be shy, and also I don’t want it to claw me or the furniture(so I’ll probably get it declawed) and I don’t want to ever clean a litter box or cage.”
Me: “Hey there’s this great new type of animal you might be interested in:”
Someone: “I want a dog but I don’t ever want to take it for walks or exercise it very much or let it outside and I want it to be fine with being left alone for longer periods of time and also never bark.”
Me:
Someone: “I want a cat or dog but I want to only feed it a vegan diet.”
Me:
Someone: “I want to have a pet but I basically never want to interact with it.”
Me:
Someone: “I want to get my kid a cute pet for Easter/Christmas!”
Me:
Get a pet that fits your needs. Don’t get a pet then try to force it to fit your lifestyle. Just because you saw a person walking a rabbit once doesn’t mean you can expect a rabbit to just be a dog. Just get a dog!
tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like
“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”
and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent
“I literally made three- THREE- 18th century corsets last week. You can wait until one of them gets back, or you can go sometime post-1920s, because if I have to sew one more god damn channel I will literally lose my mind.”
“Upper middle class?!?!? You told me upper class! FUCK YEAH THERE’S A DIFFERENCE!!!”
“How about kimoNO.”
“Look me in the eyes. I do not care what you want. This is the 1500s. You absolutely cannot wear trousers.”
“Another court gown?? Here’s a novel idea: go as a peasant for once in your life. Why do you do this to me? You’re fucking sadists that’s why.”
“Don’t mind me, I’ll just be up all night hand painting silk.”
“THE POLICY IS ONE MONTH’S ADVANCE NOTICE ON PRE-1900s WOMEN’S FASHION FOR A REASON, DEBRA.”
As if they wouldn’t let THEM time travel to sew the clothes haha. That’s why they’re extra salty 😅
