Bisexuals in committed monogamous relationships have not chosen a “side,” they have chosen a person.

Microsoft To Ban 'Offensive Language' And Monitor Your Private Account

The tech giant is planning to ban accounts that use "offensive language" and will go through your private data to "investigate" users.

Silicon Valley needs to brought to heel.

[deadbilly]

In a March 1 release, Microsoft is warning customers using Office, Xbox, Skype, and other products that the company is prohibiting offensive language and inappropriate content starting on May 1.

“Don’t publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity),” Microsoft warns in a portion of their new codes of conduct.

Microsoft also added that the company plans on “investigating” users who are accused of violating the new policy and will block content from being sent to other people.

So will they have monitors watching 24/7 to make sure nobody says something “bad” on Skype? And so nobody uses the service for cyber sex?

Also, Office? Does that mean nobody can use the Office suite to write stories that involve sex, violence and un-PC dialogue?

Time to go back to pen and paper my dudes.

You want fanfiction? I’ll mail it to ya, free of charge in my own slutty, slutty handwriting.

[apocalyptic-mailman]

anyone got alternatives to…basically all of Microsoft’s services?

[daggers-drawn]

Office: https://www.openoffice.org/ Skype: https://discordapp.com/ Live Mail: https://protonmail.com/ Xbox:  https://www.xboxalternative.com/

[solacekames]

Libreoffice and Openoffice are both free, open source and very similar in interface, but I prefer Libreoffice having used both. 

Discord is better than Skype, but Discord can and will delete your accounts for breaking their terms of service (you’re not supposed to use Discord for anything illegal). In practice, they’re pretty hard on the far right and Neo-Nazis, and often delete their servers, which in my book is a good thing.

ProtonMail is pretty decent and easy to use. 

[nyokoko]

I don’t use Microsoft for anything but school because it’s garbage anyway but Discord is a great app.

[systlin]

Seriously openoffice is great. 

[cwote]

Express yourself however you feel comfortable.

4 Legal Ways To Get Free Textbooks.

1. Open Culture:  Not a large a selection, but high quality texts. If you just want to skim a book to brush up on a course you took in ninth grade, download one of these. I have yet to be disappointed.

2. Book Boon: Provides free college-level textbooks in a PDF format. Probably the widest range of subjects on the web. The site is also pretty.

3. Flat World Knowledge: The worlds largest publisher of free and open college textbooks. Humanitie texts are particularly difficult to come by, this site has a great selection in all disciplines.

4. Textbook Revolution:  Some of the books are PDF files, others are viewable online as e-books, or some are simply web sites containing course or multimedia content.

5. Library Pirate: I’ve always had an addiction to torrent based pirating. When this site opened a few months ago, I went a little overboard. After dropping two hundred on a paperback spanish textbook, I downloaded the ebook version illegally. I also got a great Psyc text i’m obsessed with.  It will be interesting to see how this site grows- they already have a great selection.

College bookstores completely rip off their students, so ALWAYS reblog free textbooks!

Crucial Ingredients for a Great Relationship

1. Shared sense of humour; lots of laughter and fun

2. Little gestures of thoughtfulness

3. Personal space (there needs to be separateness in your togetherness)

4. Having the ability to spend hours together (simply doing routine or humdrum things)

5. Having “fairness and respect” rules in place for when you argue or fight

6. Having an attraction that goes beyond the physical; liking each other, and their personality

7. Believing that your partner has what it takes to live the life that they want to live – believing in them always, and especially when they’re down

8. Having a relationship that’s built on trust, openness, honesty and faithfulness.

“At some point you just have to let go, and move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.”

— Meredith Grey

“Never underestimate the pain of a person because, in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.”

— Will Smith

[onlinecounsellingcollege]

“When nobody celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.”

— Joel Osteen
