Hey so friendly reminder about voting and elections that I haven’t seen going around yet but is SUPER IMPORTANT.

Watch what you wear and say while you’re waiting in line for the voting booth/at the polls. It is against federal law to do anything that might be considered campaigning once you’re there, and since we know that voter suppression is the name of the game this election, there will be people looking for ANY reason to remove you from the polling place. And they will nitpick. You have a shirt with a artistic picture of donkey on it? You’re visibly supporting the Democrats, you’re disqualified from voting. Want to wear a Black Lives Matter shirt? Not there you don’t. They’ll call it intimidation and kick you out. Pins, buttons, stickers, none of it. Wear the most bland, plain clothes you can imagine. 

And then keep your mouth shut. Even the slightest hint of discussion about which candidate you’re voting for can get used against you. Don’t assume the people around you are safe to discuss it with. You might be overheard. There WILL people watching for these things, hoping to get rid of anyone they can. Voter suppression isn’t just about making registration impossible. It happens at the polling stations too. Be smart, be bland, be quiet, and make sure your vote gets in. 

Also- and I have seen this mentioned but it bears repeating- DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BALLOT. EVER. It’ll also disqualify your vote. Take a selfie when you’re out of their with your fun little sticker.

“Is there friendly fire?” I ask to my teammate who is about to get very mad

If various companies think that pulling their content from Netflix so they can host their own streaming service will make them sign up to theirs then they are wrong. It will just make me pirate their content again.

[hotephoetips-deactivated2018123]

The whole point of paying for a streaming was getting all the stuff you like on one place. If I have to pay for multiple streaming services I might as well buy cable.

[thighetician]

It’s like they don’t realize that I only stopped stealing as a courtesy to the creators. Make it remotely inconvenient and I’ll go right back to piracy

There were two professors like this in my department and I was one of like 20 people who was taught by both of them so there was a very small gang of us who knew that Professor Brick Wall and Professor Overshare were married with two kids.

i once told my lecturer i liked his sweater vest and he said “thank you, it ended my relationship”

[renthony]

Maybe I’ve missed something, but everyone my age hating on Fortnite & TikTok feels a lot like that “shitting on kids and acting like anything new is garbage just because it’s new” stuff that we all promised we wouldn’t do because of how much it sucked when it was done to us.

DING DING DING you got it.

Hey guys, just a heads up -

Viagogo is advertising Queen tickets on here.

Do not, under any circumstances, purchase anything from Viagogo.

They routinely add additional fees – $50 tickets at the check out, but then they charge you a $200 processing fee (yes, $200), and there is no way to get your money back. And then you rock up at the concert in question and find that there are four other people with your same ticket, because you were all sold fakes.

A colleague of mine had this happen – two tickets, and they should have been $70 all up. $475 was taken from her account. They weren’t able to get the unapproved money back.

Adding insult to injury, weeks later they arrived at the show, went to buzz in their ticket and it bounced. Someone else had already used that ticket to get in. Security went and found the person, and while this was happening, more security brought over a third person who also had the same ticket. The person who had arrived first had the legit ticket, and the other two were fakes. Fakes that cost nearly $500.

They have 2,479 one-star reviews on Product Review, the last of which was shared 17 hours ago, all with similar stories.

Don’t buy anything from Viagogo. They will rob you blind, and you won’t even get to see the show.

For that comment, ten dollars.

this is so awful?

Can we destroy kpop now. Like can we just destroy the industry now

[fullymechanized-consoomer]

People don’t understand just how manufactured and exploitative that industry is. Imagine what child actors have to go through, but they have even less free time, aren’t independent, and basically property. The moment they speak out about abuse or mismanagement they’re replaced, and their lives are basically over. 

[virgogreen]

It doesn’t help that a lot of fans are just being willfully ignorant

There are numerous videos of members in various idol groups fainting onstage during live performances and a good percentage of the comments say things like “she so dedicated she’s trying to pull through even though she’s tired!”  “he cares for the fans so much he neglected his body!” “this shows how dedicated he is!” “They need to start taking care of themselves!” 

Like…if so many of them are in poor health, it’s probably not of their own volition.

[fullymechanized-consoomer]

or even worse, they actively berate or attack them for under performing or slipping up. I’ve seen K-pop fans squee about their favorite star putting on crocodile tears for some photoshoot or movie and then turn verbally abusive or get genuinely uncomfortable when footage is leaked of said star being actually frustrated or upset like a normal person in real life. 

They know it’s all manufactured garbage, they know they’re supporting a poisonous culture and industry, but they keep up their slavish devotion to it because they’re addicted to the escapism. 

[achieverooster]

someone: minecraft is cringey

someone else: yeah! it really is in this day and age lol

both of them: look to me for me to agree

me, as someone who has kept up with Achievement Hunter’s Minecraft series every single week for 5 years and plays the game regularly: ….. haha yeah I know right. wild. 

[shesgonnachangetheworld]

I wonder how many people on here that have reblogged those “I treat retail workers/public service workers with RESPECT because I’m not HUMAN GARBAGE” type posts have also endorsed or straight up taken part in sending death threats/suicide bait/unrelenting harassment to the people that make their media

#The Discourse™#you can’t have it both ways#you don’t get to make fun of baby boomers for Wanting To See The Manager#and then encourage members of your fandom to tell an actor/writer/artist that they’re scum on a massive scale#because idk they won’t validate your ship or ‘ruined your childhood’ or whatever the fuck#get over yourselves like goddamn (tags via @shesgonnachangetheworld)

im loving seeing more people compare fan entitlement to customer entitlement because it’s exactly that

Housemate from Hell

Fuck my old housemates.  I lived my twin sister, my boyfriend, and this other bitch (who later had her girlfriend move in a month before we moved out) for a year. The bitch of a housemate apparently doesn’t understand my sister and I can cut whoever we want out of our lives. This bitch was a nightmare to live with. And now the bitch’s girlfriend is saying we don’t deserve our dog, who we rescued and spent two years training her and caring for her. 

The housemate had done zero to help care for our dog. She was left in charge of our dog for about 12 hours as my sister and I were both out of the house. She didn’t feed, nor water our dog in that time. 

So try to come for our dog and enjoy being arrested. That bitch of a housemate couldn’t care for her properly. She never bought or even offered to buy food when my dogs food ran out. Never refilled her water dish. My dog would probably die of neglect if left with them.

Bitch of a housemate thinks that doing dishes ‘a lot’ during the first like two months of living in the house meant she didn’t have to do dishes ever again. She also threw a fit if she had to do dishes ‘that weren’t hers’ but the other three of us had to do hers all the time? 

She never vacuumed or mopped the kitchen. I basically did that the entire time.

Cleaned the upstairs bathroom once, when her girlfriend was coming up the first time. The rest of the year? Me and my sister. She maybe took the bathroom trash out twice in the year we lived there?

And as we were moving out, bitch housemate and girlfriend never helped clean the house. Hell, they were still taking shit out to their storage unit the day we were supposed to leave. My sister and I spent two days scrubbing base boards, taking trash out, shampooing carpet, and they couldn’t fucking mop the kitchen floor.

So I’m glad I got to move out and leave them. It’s been a year of shit that caused me to have no respect for her anymore. A girlfriend of four months has no clue what a year with her was like. 

[probablybard]

Kids these days who think that being a bard is just about swinging swords and playing lutes disgust me. Where’s the pizzazz? The showmanship? The seduction??

[probablystrangerpgideas-blog]

you ain’t a real bard until you seduce your way out of at least 19 situations that would normally end in combat

[probablybard]

You’re not a real bard until you make your DM cry because you seduced the Big Bad that they’ve built up to for 10 sessions

[a-daks]

Once a bard friend rolled a 1 for a seduction and ended up killing a girl and tried to hide the body. He was caught, rolled low on deception and they all thought he was fucking her corpse. He then tried seducing the guards and rolled low again so all the guards had boners while arresting him and the DM had to sideline the entire game and make up a dungeon for the rest of us to get our stupid bard out of. But we didn’t. So for like 3 nights the DM essentially ran 2 different games, one of us questing without ol’ corpsefucker and then the adventures of corpsefucker: escape from boner castle.

He seduced his way out, naturally.

I don’t know a damn thing about D&D but this funny as fuck

[happyfunballxd]

Decided to redo my very first AH pic, all of 4 years ago. xD Prolly not the best showcase of art improvement, seeing as tho it’s hella hard to fit 10 people in the same space as 6 fit before.
