Actually, it's been confirmed in Breath of the Wild ((in one of Zelda's diary entries I think)) that link chooses not to talk due to stress or something of the sort.

BREAKING: House of Representatives votes to gut Internet privacy rules

Fight for the Future will unleash billboards to expose lawmakers who take large contributions from ISPs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, March 28, 2017 Contact: Evan Greer, 978-852-6457, [email protected]

The U.S. House of Representatives just voted 231-189 to gut the FCC’s Internet privacy rules that prevent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) like Comcast and Verizon from selling their customer’s personal information to advertisers without their consent. The measure already passed the Senate last week, so it will now head to the President’s desk for signing.

Yesterday, digital rights group Fight for the Future, known for organizing massive protests against SOPA and for net neutrality announced that they will put up billboards with the names of every member of Congress who voted to sell off their constituent’s privacy rights.

“Today Congress proved once again that they care more about the wishes of the corporations that fund their campaigns than they do about the safety and security of their constituents,” said Evan Greer, campaign director of Fight for the Future.

“Gutting these privacy rules won’t just allow Internet Service Providers to spy on us and sell our personal information, it will also enable more unconstitutional mass government surveillance, and fundamentally undermine our cybersecurity by making our sensitive personal information vulnerable to hackers, identity thieves, and foreign governments,” she added.

The group released a draft mock-up of what the initial billboard – which will be unveiled in Washington, DC and in select districts – will look like, with the names of the 50 Senators who voted for the bill last week. Today they tweeted a mock-up of a billboard targeting Rep Marsha Blackburn, who has taken nearly $700,000 in contributions from telecom companies over her career.

“Congress should know by now that when you come for the Internet, the Internet comes for you,” Greer added, “these billboards are just the beginning. People from across the political spectrum are outraged, and every lawmaker who votes to take away our privacy will regret it come election day.”

By using the CRA to gut the FCC broadband privacy rules, lawmakers voted to allow ISPs to:

-Monitor and sell customer’s location data, search history, app usage, and browsing habits to advertisers without your permission

-Hijack customer’s search results, redirecting their traffic to paying third parties

-Insert ads into web pages that would otherwise not have them

Fight for the Future was instrumental in the massive grassroots campaign that successfully pushed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to enact the strongest net neutrality protections in US. history last year. They built the page BattleForTheNet.com, which was responsible for more than ¼ of all the net neutrality comments received by the FCC during its feedback process, and were behind the Internet Slowdown protest, which was supported by more than 40,000 websites including some of the largest on the Web like Kickstarter, Etsy, Netflix, and Tumblr.  

The group also helped take the fight for net neutrality into the streets with creative protest campaigns like Occupy the FCC and the nationwide Internet Emergency protests.

Fight for the Future is best known for their role in the massive online protests against SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and continues to organize many of the largest protests in the history of the Internet. Over the summer, they organized the high profile Rock Against the TPP tour featuring many celebrities and well known musicians. Learn more at FightFortheFuture.org

Spread this far and wide. We will NOT be a Big Brother state.

Hold the GOP to the same standards we hold the Dems and make them HIGH standards, because we deserve better than both parties’ Establishment have been plopping on our plates. We rejected them when we put Trump in office.

Reject this now.

Glad to see this getting some attention. Please set a good example, US people.

Y’all, I strongly advise snagging HTTPS Everywhere (Firefox/Chrome/Opera) and finding a VPN you feel comfortable with. If you haven’t got the money for a good VPN, I recommend VPN Gate, a project by the University of Tsukuba. The quality isn’t the best, but it’s free, and you can get your traffic out of the country. (Just, you know, be careful where you go with it.)

THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

Today, the second of january, I found these small green arrows all over tumblr and other websites.

It doesn’t just affect links, it affects normal words in texts as well, and if you click on them, it redirects it to an advertisement. Seems harmless.

The first and second picture is examples of the links, arrows and the advertisements, the third picture is of a program I found installed on my computer.

It probably happened when I browsed around streams yesterday trying to watch Sherlock Series 3 (which was lovely, by the way.) and a lot of advertisement windows opened. I closed them immediately.

When I launched my browser today I got a similar advertisement, but again, I closed it immediately without looking at it.

I run avast antivirus on my computer. It’s always up to date and up until now, I’ve never had a virus. It always stops me on the actual site, if it contains a trojan or anything. I can’t do anything unsafe.

This means, the virus is brand new.

If avast doesn’t pick it up, and avast is upgraded multiple times a day, it’s kind of serious.

That’s why I’m telling you,

SIGNAL BOOST THIS.

If you have seen this before or it’s happened to you, please signal boost the crap out of it.

Signal boost it anyway.

Run a full scan on your computer, search for malware och spyware as well.

THIS IS SERIOUS.

[hazelnut1313]

I’ve had this virus before and thankfully someone figured out how to fix it, but please, PLEASE know that this is not a joke. This virus actually caused my computer to be unable to turn on for weeks. REBLOG the heck out of this, because it could happen to you too.

[smallhatlogan]

Not to be the one raining on everyone’s parade but this is a really big case of dangerous anthropomorphism of a wild animal that’s going to end badly. Reptiles are not like cats and dogs. Look at the case of Jor the snake.

-In defense of the clothes wearing, there’s this claim that "Rambo had originally been trapped in a small tank in a dark closet without sunlight before she rescued him, so he has to wear clothes when he goes outdoors because his skin “is very sensitive to sunlight.” The thing is, most reptiles, including alligators literally need UVA/UVB light to live.  I can’t find any information about a situation like this outside of the articles about Rambo, so I’m doubtful of the validity of this claim. -Rambo doesn’t enjoy riding motorcycles or ATVs, nor does he feel love for his owner. That’s not anything against either him, or his owner. It’s just that reptiles don’t have the brain chemistry necessary for those emotions.  -Man reptiles, including gators, are very susceptible to stress, and shouldn’t be constantly handled, particularly not in the way that Rambo is being handled. They’re not really a pet for you to be cuddling with, and definitely not one to be putting on open, moving vehicles. Either the stress will effect his health, or he will eventually lash out. (apparently the authorities aren’t allowing her to continue showing him in schools or riding on these vehicles, thankfully)  -Yes, gators can be trained. So can many wild animals, but they’re still wild. They aren’t going to be predictable.  It’s good authorities stepped in and stopped some of the most dangerous behaviors, but this is still going to end in tragedy. His owner does very clearly love him, but that’s not enough for an animal. She doesn’t understand his needs, instead equating him to a puppy or human child.  This will either end in a bite or Rambo dying of something avoidable.

[kaijutegu]

I’ll rain on the parade with you- this story makes me cringe, although I am glad they didn’t do the typical thing and just take the alligator away to destroy him. He’d certainly be better off at a different facility, but since he’s been in captivity since he was very young, it’s unlikely he’d do well at a nature preserve or something like that. He’d need a lot of human care and attention for sure. But I wish that it wasn’t in the form of outfits and eccentricity. The wearing clothes thing is total bs. Albino alligators are sensitive to sunlight, yes, which contributes to why they don’t survive well in the wild (also, as babies, albino alligators are easy to see and pick off as delicious snacks). But Rambo isn’t an albino. The idea that the clothes help prevent sunburn is silly. I’ll put my reptiles in silly clothes, but I acknowledge the silliness. I don’t try to claim it’s necessary. 

As for the UVB thing, he could actually be receiving quite a bit of that. One thing that makes this different than Jor the snake is that Rambo’s being kept in Florida- a state to which he’s native. This means that if he’s kept outside, his climatic needs are being met. The articles I’ve found don’t actually say where he’s kept, only that the land is insufficient. Alligators over four feet are supposed to have at least 2.5 acres to move around on, and his owner’s entire property is only .3 of an acre. The Ledger article mentions her fenced-in yard and in this picture it looks like there’s a partially open garage… shelter… thing. 

Side note: that is not the proper way to hold an alligator. 

In various facebook photos, it looks like he’s got outdoor access. And as far as heat and humidity goes, he’s probably fine. It is his native range, after all.

The anthropomorphism is also patently ridiculous. An alligator is an intelligent reptile to be sure- they’re super trainable and can solve puzzles- but an alligator can’t love you back. Alligators can be social- sometimes you’ll see them congregate in the same area to bask or swim- but usually the adult males prefer to be solitary. And alligator sociality isn’t about cuddling or contact, it’s about being in the same basking area because hey, it’s nice to bask here. Juveniles will also sometimes exhibit play behavior and sometimes this does involve seeking contact with other animals, but not to the extent that a mammal would. They’ve got a really interesting set of behaviors, but anthropomorphizing them like that is dangerous to everyone involved.  

His owner’s also been contradicting herself about his behavior in interviews- she claims he hates loud noises and sunshine but that he loves being around people and riding a motorcycle. It’s totally normal for a reptile to have preferences and fears, but if he hates the loud noises of the wild, wouldn’t he also hate the loud noises of a motorcycle? She also claims that by dressing him up and toting him around she’s providing education- but there’s no way that you’re going to learn anything real about alligators from seeing one dressed up like Santa. She says that alligators shouldn’t be pets, but actions speak louder than words.  

However! There’s also some really good news in the NPR article, at least for the alligator’s safety. He’s not allowed to go on any more motorcycle rides, make any public appearances, and he’ll have to be caged with his mouth taped shut whenever he leaves the house. Having his mouth taped or banded is an important precaution when working with alligators- it doesn’t hurt them and it stops them from biting. They can still pose a danger with their tails and claws, however- but considering that this is an encounter his owner allowed, any safety precautions are an improvement.

This is not ok. 

That all being said, not every captive alligator is this poorly kept. Many people and groups keep crocodilians do so quite well- it’s even safe to take them out in public, provided you take the proper precautions and you display them with safety and education in mind. Alligators make fantastic ambassador animals- when acclimated properly and cared for well. They aren’t as fragile as many other crocodilians and seeing one in person can be really inspiring- it can get people interested in conservation and help them come to see alligators not as a threatening nuisance but as a part of the natural ecosystem that needs to be respected. 

[courtnashe]

Please rain on these parades, this is just disgusting anthropomorphism of this alligator.

[wheremyscalesslither]

I like rain

[einsteins-pipe]

Let me rain on your got damn rain, ya know it all fucks. This here allygator has been living with this woman for more than a decade after being rescued from hell for the beginning portion of his life. Now you can argue all you want about what he needs and how he is being kept, but for fuck’s sake do you not think the scaly looking little bastard has probably developed a drastically different psychological profile from the rest of the gators your information has come from? Obviously he isn’t a human, I’m not arguing that or that he has any kind of human feelings, but jesus titty fucking christ do you not think this animal has adapted to have some very un-alligator like behaviors and tendencies? You can condition any creature, and living this way has obviously become the norm for this fella. Would your average gator be in danger/be a danger under these circumstances? Of course. Is this one? Probably not anymore than your average pit bull as a house pet. Gator lady and Rambo are enjoying their lives, get your nose out of their business and go enjoy your own. You self-righteous, douchewhistles.

[kaijutegu]

Oh certainly, any animal can adapt. I’m sure you could adapt to an unnatural situation just as well. But that’s not really the point here, is it? This animal is being abused and setting a dangerous precedent for others who think it’s ok to “rescue” an alligator this way. “Oh, he was in bad condition and I took him in!” “Oh, I have no idea what alligator physiology is, better put clothes on him to avoid sunburn, because even though he’s fully pigmented with melanin, I think he can magically develop a sun sensitivity!” “Oh he is tame, better let randos kiss him!”

Have you ever had a reptile? Any reptile, even a small one? They don’t produce oxytocin like mammals do. They don’t bond. No amount of conditioning is going to change this creature’s biological makeup. He’s not going to suddenly start producing mammalian hormones or having mammalian reactions through the power of love, friendship, and little leather jackets. Yeah, psychologically he’s going to be a bit different, but not THAT different.

And that still doesn’t make up for the physiological damage. You don’t get to say that abuse isn’t abuse just because you think he’s mentally acclimated to his living situation. This gator went from a bad situation to another bad situation. Not all “rescues” are good. This person does not have the space to keep this animal healthy- and exhibiting him in his outfits was her source of income. If you really think this whole thing is motivated by her love of the alligator, perhaps you should reevaluate.

[sixlegnag]

Dogs are fully domesticated and you know what dogs still do when pressed?

bite.

please tell me why an alligator, human tolerant or otherwise, is safer than a dog.

[slightlysociablehermit]

Dogs are probably the most domesticated animals we have, and they can still kill you.
