They're talking about how you don't need the Internet for everything unless you literally have a job on like YouTube or something.

Everyone I know uses the internet for more than just leisure. Theu buy stuff off there, pay bills, etc.It's just corporations trying to scam more money along with their possible massive tax cuts.
Did the site stop working for anyone else for a while?
No, I just got on here because I was busy reading something.
Well, it was earlier today. Around 11.
My brother yelled at me and started making his noises akin to a fit that he does...because i asked him to try a piece of candy and see what it tastes like.HIs reason being that I touched it. bUt...literally every piece of food he's ever eaten has been touched by someone other than him? sO what's wrong with this?
Or maybe it's because of me...he sure does like to get attitudes when I do stuff.
My middle brother won't eat or drink anything that's been sampled or even touched by someone in the family other than him. He says it's because of our germs.
But other peoples' don't bother him?
Yeah, but people usually don't eat his food at school and stuff like that.
All of my family is bickering...
I think my grandma has been brainwashed by Trump. She thinks all of Roy Moore and Trump's accusers are being bribed by Democrats or are Democrats trying to take them down and she said all the news is fake.
Im getting blood on some papersFun!
Net neutrality is deadRemind how this will do anything except make the rich richer and screw everyone else over?
Oh no! After I did everything I could to save it....I shouldn't have even bothered. It's not the sixties anymore where people actually could change the world. We're all too cynical for that.
♪ It's all about the money money money!They just want our money money money
Reds wanna see us staaaaay poor! and fill their waaaallets!
It's all about the-cha cing! Cha ching!
It's all about the-ba bling! Ba bling! ♪
Uh, Democrats did this too. They both did.
OhThat seems like the exact OPPOSITE of what they'd usually do, since they're usually for government regulations on this kind of stuff. But I guess I should know not all of them would be against it.
A lot of the companies that wanted Net Neutrality gone were left-leaning.
That doesn't make sense, but *shrugs*
You of all people should know rich people will do anything to screw others over regardless of their political standing.
I suppose...
Change of subject!
Me playing SMITE with clanmates last night:Clanmate: *Dies*
Me: Requescat in Pace
Another clanmate: Have you been playing Assassin's Creed lately?
Me: ...Yes
Same clanmate: Is it because Black Flag is being given away for free?
Me: ....Yes
Lol
They laughed quite a bit after that.I always love playing with clanmates because we can be big dorks and not have to worry about being harassed and told to commit suicide.
Haha
Everyone else gets to be on electronics while HUnter gets to torture his hands doing the dishes...
I just woke up, literally nobody else is on so I'm getting ready to leave so I can eat.
I see people whining about something being an SJW fanfic and i instantly remembered this
Then I saw this quote:
"I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which included the phrase “In these days of political correctness…” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.”
Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase “politically correct” wherever we could with “treating other people with respect”, and it made me smile.
You should try it. It’s peculiarly enlightening.
I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking “Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!”"
It's just like respecting women :P
It's disturbing how people are more hateful towards things with positive messages that aren't necessarily minority empowering ((like Star Wars)) than they are violent supremacist groups who themselves say their goals are white supremacy and the subjugation or extermination of others.LIke, TFA doesn't have any girl power messages. People don't treat Rey poorly because she's a *girl* The bad guys are out to get her because she's a powerful force-sensetive who is against them. They'd be the exact same way if Rey was a guy.
Are people really still whining about that Asian pilot in The Last Jedi like seriously who even cares. If you know you're going to be offended by that movie then just don't see it.
I didn't know people did but that doesn't surprise me.
Oh I thought that's what your post was about lol
No, I'm talking about people crying that TFA was "feminist propaganda shoved down our throats"So...a girl can't be the protagonist without it being...brainwashing propaganda? What?
Yeah that's stupid too.
Found this comment on that review and I thought you'd like it: If you truly, as you put it, love the sinner but hate the sin, you wouldn't feel the need to spread hatred calling a book 'garbage' and acting victimized by it just because it shows queer people. You'd simply put it aside, accept it's not for you, but it is for other people. This isn't a review, it's just a bashing on gay people being portrayed. I might be able to respect your thoughts more if you actually reviewed anything else about the book, but this is simply hate, and then you say my people are the ones hating? No. They're just upset and angry that you feel the need to write a review that makes who they are seem disgusting and enough to make a book terrible. if a book is bad for representing us, the world must also be bad for containing us. your hatred is very thinly veiled. If you don't want to keep reading a book for containing lbgtq+ content, that's your right, and you can inform your likeminded friends, without writing scathing, hurtful 'reviews'. I'm really sorry you had a bad day, but for many of us, we go through oppression and hate every day of our lives. you really think we choose to live this way? you think we choose to be marginalized and attacked and even killed for being queer? If you really believe it's a choice - become gay for me. go on, just become gay for a little while. you can't? yeah. we can't become straight either.
*Applauds*

Meanwhile with Korra or Rey or Jyn, their gender is never brought up. yeah some people don't have confidence in them but not because they're girls-for other reasons.I think that is feminism at work in fiction- not letting gender play a role into their abilities and stuff.
In my STar Wars games, when I play as female, no one says "You're a girl so you're weak" and I prove them wrong. It's more like "You Jedi are weak and spineless with your mercy." My character's gender is not brought up with such a thing. THat, to me, is feminism.

I need this on a billboard
Glad you liked itSo not looking forward to torturing my hands...
Im so tired for some reason. I feel like just curling up.
Replace tired with sick and you'll have my current mood.
There was something on Today that I wanted to see so I recorded it. Ill have to tell you what it was because I can almost guarentee you'll at least find it interesting.
Does it involve vomit like your cop show?
No? This is the news :pAlso, season 2 premiere of the show sucked.
What was on the news I'd find interesting? :P
Speaking of which one of my friends on FaceBook posted this and I thought you'd like it: When you're dumb, you don't want science brought up to show you're wrong. When you don't want women to have freedoms, you don't want abortion brought up. When you hate a demographic, you don't want their title brought up.
Well if you didn't think Trump was dumb, misogynistic, and prejudice already, then look no further than him banning the words "Science-Based" "Fetus" and "Transgender" from being used in CDC Health reports and rulings.
Trump is slowly becoming a dictator, and if you think he isn't then you are part of the problem. There's no thinking he is or isn't anymore, he's limiting free speech that pertains to minorities, and now has gotten a tax reform passed that cripples the average American and makes him and his friends richer, and has limited your internet capability through hiring Ajit Pai, which makes you weaker and him and his friends stronger and also richer.
He's a dictator, end of story. And any citizen who thinks he was ever or even still is in office for the unrepresented American you are sorely mistaken, and I hope you figure out how to not be a sheep to him or his administration soon, because we need all the help we can get trying to reverse and impeach this cheeto and his influences.
No, I did NOT post that, just thought I'd clarify :P
I figured you didnt :pI've seen Trump do some dictatorial things like discredit most news reports not by the White House, but this is becoming disturbing.
But this isnt even political.
I cant find the Today Show report, but here is the same event: https://youtu.be/G-3vlbhqzGg
