Tom Hiddleston getting slapped in Crimson Peak vs The Hollow Crown

[zhora-salome]

Well, there’s the difference. Mia is just giving him a little slap and he does the head tossing himself.

Whereas Jeremy really hauls off and whacks him one. No acting required.

me: why are you destroying earth!!!

aliens: because theres people who think that english is the only language they need to speak

[nerdypersonwithwings]

For some reason I find this all the more amusing because it’s written in English

[af-hverju]

moi: pourquoi vous détruisez le monde!!! l'extraterrestre: parce que il y a des gens qui pensent que l'anglais est le seule langue pour parler moi: ah ça c'est bien

[languageoclock]

ich: warum zerstört ihr die erde!!!

aliens: weil es leute gibt die glauben dass englisch die einzige sprache ist die sie sprechen müssen

ich: das ist fair ich verstehe

[prinsessaislensku-deactivated20]

yo: por qué están destruyendo el mundo? :( los extraterrestres: por que hay personas que creen que el inglés es el solo idioma que hay que hablar yo: ok está justo, yo entiendo

[sprachtraeume]

ég: af hverju eyðileggið þið jörðina!!! aliens: af því að það er fólk sem finnst að enska sé sú eina tungumál sem þau þurfa að tala ég: oh, það er vit í þessu. ég skil.

io: perché distruggete la terra?! gli alieni: perché ci sono persone che pensano che l'inglese è l'unica lingua per parlare io: ahh capisco

[typingremorse]

Jeg: Hvorfor ødelegger dere jorden?!!!

Romvesener: Fordi det er mennesker som tror at engelsk er det eneste språket de trenger å snakke.

Meg: Det er sant. Jeg forstår.

[bruises-for-tomorrow]

jo: per què esteu destruïnt la terra?!

aliens: perquè hi ha gent que pensa que l’anglès és l’única llengua que els cal  parlar

jo: és just ho entenc

Ego : Quid orbem terrarum vastate ? 

Alieni caeli incolae : Quia homines sunt qui censeant Britannicam linguam solam loquendam esse. 

Ego : Id justum mihi videtur.

AII right. It’s aII right, Audrey, I’m right here. Audrey, I’m right here.              

[colepaldi-in-the-tardis]

Though I do see her - because we do exist in real life as Peter and Jenna. I think when you have a scene like that, when two characters say goodbye to each other it is infused with the affection - if you feel the affection - for that human being. Maybe it is a way of expressing how much you care about that person without having to go through the embarrassment of the thing in real life.

Gentlemen! Let’s play a little game. I call it “Creep or Normal Guy?” The way you play is you have less than a second to decide whether a man you don’t know is a threat or not. If you identify a normal guy as a threat you could get called a bitch; if you identify a creep as a normal guy you could end up dead. This is fun, isn’t it? Now play it every day, with nearly every man you see, in nearly every situation you’re in, from the time puberty hits to … well, I turned 38 this week. Can someone tell me when I can stop playing?

This just happened during the OTW Board “open” meeting.

I know it’s easy to scroll past these things–who cares as long as the Archive stays up and you can get your fic?–but the dissent you can see in these transcripts is from people who *run the Archive*.  The Board’s abuse of power is completely wearing down their willingness and capacity to work.

I agree with others that at this stage we have reached a point where members should call for a vote of no confidence in the current Board.  I was willing to go with the “good intentions; poor execution” explanation for the Board’s actions prior to this.  No longer.

[stopthatimp]

this is corrupt immature bullshit. are you fucking kidding me? act like grownups and stop this petty-ass power-grabbing delusional fucking asshole borderline fraud responsibility dodging HORSESHIT.

[lookninjas]

So this is the situation as I understand it – if someone could tell me if I have it right and/or correct the bits where I’m wrong, that would be super helpful

OTW loses 4 board members.  They decide to hold elections for two of the open positions (and not all four, because..  reasons?  Not real clear on what’s going on with this)

People run for the two seats, including current board member Andrea H. 

During the election, a lot of serious questions are raised about the actions of the current board.  There are sockpuppeting shenanigans.  OTW makes itself look real bad.  Two pro-reform candidates are elected to fill the seats that are open.  Andrea H. places fifth. 

OTW immediately turns around and decides to fill one of the seats they didn’t have elections for with Andrea H, despite the fact that the voters had four other people they would rather see on the board, and presumably two of them are still available for the seat.

Bonus lecture on ethics from the board member who got caught pretending to be a non-board member in chat during the elections!

Also, I should give them money.

Is that everything, or did I miss stuff?
