I see you spreading positivity jax and I respect that a lot but if its not too much trouble. Can I ask your thoughts and opinion? Your someone I really look up to so I was wondering if I could just hear your thoughts.

I’ve been holding off answering this because I’m not that articulate with my words and I wanted to make sure I had everything I said right. Here are my thoughts. People don’t typically listen to me or take me seriously when it comes to this stuff but I feel I deserve to post my own opinions up too.

When I found out who won the election I was extremely disappointed. Disappointed in the outcome. Disappointed in the system. I didn’t sleep very well either. I was very sad.

As today went on I grew even more disappointed. I was disappointed in many of my fellow democrats or even liberals. Not all of you, but many of you, have really shown a shameful side. You talk about how Trump is a bigot. He’s hateful, disgusting, embarrassing etc. but when your chosen candidate loses so many of you do the same thing. Spouting hate from literally every orifice you can find. I’ve seen so many of you say that you will unfriend anyone who voted for Trump even family. Wow. I thought the democrats and the liberals were about accepting all ideas, but when it comes to ideas from people in our own country, if they don’t match our own we try to shut it down in an instant.

I get it. Your angry. Many of you, especially from communities that have struggled with hate, feel fear. I get that. I will never feel it the way you have but I do get that you are afraid and angry. But don’t let anger and fear control your actions or your words. Take a step back and look at how you’re acting. You’re acting exactly the way you claim republicans are. You’re acting the way you don’t want people to act towards you. Stop being hypocritical. We often accept people from other countries in many ways but when it comes to the people in our own countries we want to force them to think the same way. We’re different here too and we can’t forget that. We’re different here more than many if not all other countries. I mean this from both sides. Both sides are guilty of this.

We aren’t all going to agree but that’s the beauty of the United States. People who voted for Trump felt the same way about Hillary the way you felt about Trump. Have some compassion. I know many people who voted for President Obama twice who voted for Trump. I don’t understand why and probably never will because I feel so strongly about something I doubt they will change my mind. You are the same way. You feel so strongly that Trump is the worst thing that could happen. They felt those same emotions, just as strongly.

Stop being angry. Let yourself be a bit sad if you want to but stop spreading hate. This is exactly why we didn’t want Trump in office, because he spreads hate. Well obviously you didn’t Trump to do that. More than ever we need to come together as a country. Truly loving something means all of its flaws. I do love the United States of America. It’s frustrating at times. Sometimes I want to leave but I’m proud of it. People come from all over the world to see this place. 

Let’s show them it’s not our leader who makes it great but the people.

It’s going to be okay!

Let’s celebrate the fact that the United States is already a great place. Let’s celebrate that everyone who voted yesterday voted for what they thought was the right. Have respect for the people who fight for what they believe is right. Just because Trump will be president doesn’t mean all of the good President Obama has done is going to be erased. We voted and we lost this time. 

Just because voting is over doesn’t mean we’re defeated.

If you feel so strongly about LGBT rights, recognizing the discrimination of my fellow minorities, helping people in need etc then don’t stop fighting for it. In the words of Henry David Thoreau,

“Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail.”

Well you’ve shown people what you believe now keep fighting for it. Live your own life the way you think is right, let other people live their life the way they think is right.

“Whatever the world has “become you have no choice but to be part of it.” - Wu Xia

Try to live happily. Find the positive. Be the change you want.

Those are my honest to God thoughts on the subject. It may seem hopeless and like crap right now. But its always Darkest before dawn, we can stick together and be stronger than ever. I have nothing but respect and Love for all my fellow minorities, LBGT friends and People who face pain and discrimination constantly.

I’m here for all my friends and I always will be.

Then I guess you’ll be happy to know that in the Predators movie, starring Adrian Brody, they actually had the actor who plays Jason take the role of the Predator. Fun little movie trivia.

As a man who has never fit the "traditional" idea of masculinity, this speaks to me a lot.

[aishishiii]

Uhm… whatever, just an idea, related to the com-share idea Ouro posted x’D

[phoenix8ceo]

I think this is an absolutely wonderful idea. Sort of an answer to DeviantArt which is artist based. This would be an excellent way to improve the internet economy and get the artwork following in a productive and economically beneficial way for both artist and the commissioner.

HOLY GOD HUBNETWORK.

[tommyoliverblogs-deactivated201]

We live in a world where this is the joke, and Equestria Girls is real.

[phoenix8ceo]

  Hey Hub, just an idea. Remember a few years back when Cartoon Network gave its fans Toonami for one day on April Fools and the outcry was so substantial that they brought back Toonami. I can guarantee if you made a show based around this idea (thinking like a MLP/Firefly-esque) show, I and many others would watch the heck out of it. Even if it is just a April Fools joke. And think of all the masculine oriented science-fiction toys you can sell marketing towards boys. Turn a female marketed show into a male marketed show and still keep your brony community happy.

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking..

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.. Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene. One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days, weeks and months passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, ‘Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.’ Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy. ‘Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .’

IMPORTANT!!! Why You Should Be Freaking Out About The End Of Net Neutrality

Net neutrality is dead.

Net neutrality is dead

At least that’s the verdict of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which today struck down a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order from 2010 that forced Internet service providers (ISPs) like Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and Time Warner Cable to abide by the principles of network neutrality. These principles broadly stipulate that ISP network management must be transparent, and that ISPs can’t engage in practices that block, stifle or discriminate against (lawful) websites or traffic types on the Internet.

That’s the bare bones story, wrapped in ugly acronyms (FCC, ISP, etc.). But why should you care that network neutrality (“net neutrality”) may be gone for good?

1. No more net neutrality means ISPs can now discriminate against content they dislike.

Everyone gets their Internet from an Internet service provider — an ISP like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast or Time Warner Cable. Under net neutrality rules, these ISPs have to treat all content you access over the Internet “roughly the same way" — they can’t speed up traffic from websites they like or delay competitor’s traffic.

Now, with net neutrality gone, ISPs can discriminate, favoring their business partners while delaying or blocking websites they don’t like. Think your cable CEO hates free online porn? Now you’ll know for sure!

2. No more net neutrality means ISPs can now force websites to PAY for faster content delivery.

You know how some sites you go to just load slower than others? Usually, that’s just because the slower site is image heavy, poorly coded, or dealing with intense server load. But with net neutrality gone, ISPs can now start charging hefty fees to websites that want quick content delivery — shifting the long load times to poorer sites that can’t pay up.

Prefer indie retailers to Amazon.com? You may be in for a frustrating future.

3. Destroying net neutrality is bad for small businesses.

Put together items one and two and it becomes clear — negating net neutrality is bad for small businesses. If ISPs force website owners pay for faster load times, tiny retailers and personal websites will be the ones to suffer from slower content delivery.

Alternately — or additionally — ISPs will have no reason not to favor partner sites: Time Warner Cable, for instance, might favor the website of CNN (owned by the Time Warner Corporation) over the websites of competing cable news networks MSNBC and Fox News. Still, it’s the indies again that will lose out here. While Time Warner Cable might favor CNN and Comcast MSNBC, independent news networks almost certainly won’t get special treatment from any ISPs. Expand this out to music sites, web publishing, etc., and you begin to see the problem.

In extreme cases, ISPs may hinder or block content that isn’t produced by partners —much like AT&T did when it owned the telephone networks back in the day.

4. Without net neutrality, entire types of online traffic (like Netflix) may be in jeopardy.

Netflix watchers and BitTorrent users might want to beware — soon your beloved services may not work like they used to. Now that net neutrality’s down for the count, ISPs can discriminate against entire types of traffic: For instance, an ISP could slow or block all peer-to-peer file sharing, or all online video streaming.

Think it sounds unbelievably stupid for an ISP to stifle a certain traffic types indiscriminately? Comcast has seen reason to stifle both streaming video and peer-to-peer in the past.

From an ISP’s perspective, discriminating against some traffic types makes business sense: Many ISPs are also cable television providers, which means the “cord-cutting" enabled by peer-to-peer and streaming online video isn’t good for their bottom line.

5. Without net neutrality, your ISPs can make even more money without actually improving the Internet.

Right now, America’s broadband is slow. It’s slow because ISPs can already make gobs of money by charging the rich a ton for high-quality Internet while leaving the rest of America with subpar (or no) service.

Now, with net neutrality gone, ISPs will be able to make even more money off their existing customer base. They won’t need to improve service or bring broadband to rural areas because they’ll be able to keep growing (financially, at least) by charging content providers more for faster delivery and charging customers more for faster access. In all likelihood, Tuesday’s ruling means the problems with America’s Internet will be magnified.

SIGNAL BOOST THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SHIT AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WE AIN’T HAVIN’ IT!

[shycustis]

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A US CITIZEN TO SIGN THIS. Why should someone outside the US care? What passes in one industrialised nation gives companies and politicians more leverage to pass similar laws in their own.

Having this sort of discrimination in the hands of companies has political consequences in addition to the ones mentioned above. Think of the influence these ISPs would have if allowed to keep these powers? Any ISP with a political bias, or influenced by a political party, would have the power to direct access to information on the internet at their will.

SIGN AND REBLOG LIKE CRAZY.

The Deal with Tucker

So apparently my niece's baby brother was born over the weekend. When we asked what his named was, his mother said Tucker. I started laughing and have continued to laugh every time my family has mentioned the name since.

They didn't understand what was so funny, but this is what I kept on thinking of.
