I think I do it more or less by how much I like the movie. I only have like ten DVDs and three VHS tapes or so and they’re mostly just for show. Some of the DVDs I don’t even know why I own because I don’t particularly care for the movie on them.
All diet soda will be banned in my eventual utopia.
Yeah might as well just stay ill.
Did you just call me ill?
Mad ill. Hopefully you have a license for it.
The right-wing response to the Parkland survivors’ demand for gun-control has done more to expose how evil the right wing is than any exposé liberals have ever done.
Yeah it certainly doesn’t help the discussion to be bashing children who survived a tragedy, even if you disagree with them.
Fixed.
In your opinion. ;D
JEDIT: To be fair, though, I did consider phrasing it that way but felt like being a bit inflammatory.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1865
(Sec. 2) This bill expresses the sense of Congress that section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 was not intended to provide legal protection to websites that unlawfully promote and facilitate prostitution and websites that facilitate traffickers in advertising the sale of unlawful sex acts with sex trafficking victims. Section 230 limits the legal liability of interactive computer service providers or users for content they publish that was created by others.
(Sec. 3) The bill amends the federal criminal code to add a new section that imposes penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both—on a person who, using a facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, owns, manages, or operates an interactive computer service (or attempts or conspires to do so) to promote or facilitate the prostitution of another person.
Websites have long been protected from liability for what its users do. The fact that this law allows criminal and civil penalties against a website that “facilitates” is problematic, if one cares about the internet remaining as open as it has been. Craigslist has closed its personals section in response to passage of this bill.
Now that there is a crack in the dam, how long before big copyright holders convince the government there should be liability for a website that “facilitates” copyright infringement? What other issues are important enough that the websites themselves should face criminal and civil claims?
Most of the sexual exploitation crimes like human trafficking and child pornography trade don’t actually take place on legitimate websites, and it is already illegal to operate a website that exists for the purposes of those sex crimes. This is just the government’s way of trying to get a tighter grip on the internet and they’re doing it, like they always have done, by pretending to care about the victims of sex crimes. They’ve been trying this shit since the 1990s. Also, think about it, if two people are organizing a prostitution meet-up through Facebook messenger (meaning private messages) does that mean that Facebook is liable?
100% agreed.

Idk but if fanedits becoming harder to get means human trafficking is harder to do then I’m more than okay with it.
A noble goal, but dangerous thinking.
I have not a crappy Mac.
Don’t be afraid to focus on yourself a bit, get some of your ducks in a row and such. Friends will appear as you go along.
Who?
Just now in this thread, thanks.
But also fup ur.
Some of you should consider adding up all the time you’ve spent writing posts that made a net zero contribution to the discussion (and your lives) before you give someone a hard time for putting time into something thoughtful that you might disagree with. Just scroll past it if it bothers you so much (granted it might take a minute).
I finally watched TLJ a couple weeks back. I liked some parts and not others. Visually superior to TFA, which looks cheap and plasticky in comparison. The background stories of the new characters still feel shallow. Rey is too powerful with inadequate training or explanation in my opinion. I could’ve done without the shoehorned humor, but I genuinely laughed when Luke tossed his light saber over his shoulder (almost like the scene was thumbing its nose at the over-the-top grandiosity of TFA’s ending) and when Rey felt the Force. I loved Hamill’s acting, but hated what they did to Luke’s character. Hux is a joke (much prefer the overt cruelty of ESB’s killing of failed admirals to Hux’s being thrown around by his boss in every scene when he screws up) and Snoke is just some dead CGI guy with no story. Really enjoyed the quiet moments when Kylo and Rey connected and thought the throne room sequence was well done. Chewie might as well have died in TFA with Han; they could have listed him as “Millennium Falcon Pilot” in the end credits. The drawn-out “chase” scene with the fleet was contrived. Almost every male/female relationship was like a bad sitcom where the husband is a dope with a harebrained scheme and his wife sets him straight in the end (no SJW/political comments on this please, I’m talking about poor storytelling and character tropes here). I liked that it was weird. The OT was weird sometimes (ANH and ROTJ more so than ESB) and TLJ brought back some of the weirdness.
I rated TFA a 5/10 when I first saw it and bumped it to a 6/10 after rewatching it. I feel kind of meh about the whole thing. I’d rate TLJ about the same, but it’s more polarizing for me. I’d rate the best parts at an 8 and the worst parts at a 3.
More or less my thoughts exactly.
I can’t find a [screaming internally] gif that properly encapsulates how much internal screaming I have been doing the past couple of years.
This one is alright:

Whoa get out of here with your facts! Haven’t you heard that you’re only supposed to deal in emotions and feelings?!

I look the same as last time.
How are people managing to shrink their profile pics?
Magic.
There is meaningful discussion to be had about the Parkland kids, but it appears that much of the right isn’t interested in having that discussion. Day after day, it’s these disgusting memes about how the Parkland kids are Nazis, or wimps, or tidepod eaters, or just “too young to understand politics.” And now the people who are actually serious about politics and not just “memers” are afraid to address the points that are being made because they don’t want to be lumped in with the aforementioned sickos. And, straight up, fuck anyone who peddles that crisis actor bullshit. They don’t deserve to be engaged with on any level.
Word.
Alex Jones is and always has been one of the most vile and despicable men in the media sphere. No lie is below him. The fact that the right does not condemn him for the giant sack of shit that he is proves how much they suck.
Word.
0 animes on my list.
Vermintide II: Bash hundreds of rats with a hammer in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. Enough said.
The Crew: Trying to get all the unlocks for the second game which comes out soon. Drive a car not only on a track but all across a stylized United States. It’s fun.
This past week, a New Zealand man was looking through the data Facebook had collected from him in an archive he had pulled down from the social networking site. While scanning the information Facebook had stored about his contacts, Dylan McKay discovered something distressing: Facebook also had about two years worth of phone call metadata from his Android phone, including names, phone numbers, and the length of each call made or received.
Jesus Christ.
This is Facebook’s business model.
Oh my bad it’s okay then. False alarm everybody.

I had a pretty sick Goth phase myself.
We might as well have a 1% Disney Tax taken out of paychecks that gives free admission for all Americans.
I would support that!
Hell yeah man.
If i create a petition, will you sign it?
This is my idea! Not yours!
