For all of you being childish and sharing memes about how the
internet will be the same if Net Neutrality is repealed; that isn’t the
issue here. The issue is that 83% of the ENTIRE population was against
this happening, yet it happened anyways.

The issue was that Ajit
Pai was a former Verizon employee who was paid over $100 million from
the telecom cooperation’s to repeal this, along with his two
constituents. The issue is that the fate of the entire country was
decided by 5 rich people and did not allow any hearing from the public.

The issue is that there were over 2 million identities stolen
(including the identity of dead people) to post comments in favor of
repealing Net Neutrality, 1.9 million of them which were confirmed fake
and have legal investigation cases being opened on them for being fraud
as well as identity theft.

The issue is that they were asked to
halt this vote because of the illegal happenings so that they could have
time to investigate it, INCLUDING Republican’s, and they were denied.

The issue is that when giving their ‘reasons’ as to why they thought
repealing it was needed, they gave no VALID reasons and did not even
acknowledge any of the reasons that the public was worried. In
extension, they made no attempts to quell them, they just called us
stupid. Instead they all made jokes and laughed, turning themselves into
the victims for being rightfully criticized for being sellouts.

The issue is that they constantly poked fun at how idiotic they thought
we were acting, even though we have legitimate, valid concerns. Even
though we’re mostly concerned about those of us who have our
livelihood’s of our businesses on the line, they instead pointed fun
saying ‘we can still watch cat videos and share memes’ (legit something
that was actually said in their ‘argument’ yesterday). And that was
literally all they said. The issue is that there wasn’t even a ‘debate’,
despite the corruption being brought to everyone’s attention, and the
evidence of the American people not wanting this.

The issue is
that this sets the stance that we are willing to let the cooperation’s
or anyone with money do whatever the fuck they want and get away with
it. This issue is more than just internet freedom. It’s about democracy.
And if you can’t see that, you’re beyond help. #SaveNetNeutrality

You guys, I had this idea laying in bed, and you know how I feel about characters who are never depicted in any kind of interaction whatsoever, right?

Seriously though, it’s Christmas time, and this, to me, is among the most Christmasy of all concepts – a precocious child softening the stony heart of some old grizzled grouch.  And since Overwatch tumblr has been 80% casual Hanzo all week  – it follows.

So I drew some sort of an idea for a beginning and an ending to some sort of story, which I’m sure involves lots of crazy adventures in between ❤

I love Gordon Ramsay so much.

He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.

He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.

When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire

– the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.

He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.

He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.

He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)

His kids are a treasure.

He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.

When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight:

I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person. 

Oh and then there’s this:

this entire episode 

never forget that the reason he’s “shouty and angry” on his tv show is that he’s yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person
