Casually remind them you can very easily take this to the next level. And they can earn jail time while you lay back in your chair, having saved yourself and everyone else from a violent criminal.
Your online actions have real life consequences.
Make sure they learn that.
(Just in case there’s a “the police wouldn’t do that” - Yes. They absolutely would.
Or a “I can handle it.” No. That person will continue to harass others as well. And one of them may not be as strong as you. So do it for them and everyone else.
Or a “It’s not that severe.” Yes. It is. People have died because of this. It really is that severe.)
Take action. And make sure the lives of these bullies are truly wrecked.
underrated mbmbam moment: when travis got a new dog and talked about wanting to give her a website like the one he has for his other dog (buttercupisaverygoodgirl.com) then realised if he wanted lilyisaverygoodgirl.com he needed to race justin at that exact moment for it and he franticly starts trying to buy it but finds that it exists already and redirects to justins twitter and its then revealed justin bought it the day travis got the dog
@fightfortheftr (April 19, 2018): There have been a lot of inaccurate reports that the FCC’s repeal of #NetNeutrality will officially go into effect next week on April 23rd. That’s not true. It’s a bit more complicated than that. Ready? Here we go:
Its understandable many journos are confused by this. It’s legitimately confusing. The FCC order said it would go into effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, which would have been April 23rd. But, it still has to be approved by the Office of Management & Budget.
There was another FCC filing in the Federal Register that would imply the earliest the OMB could approve this (and its worth noting that approval is basically just a technicality) is actually April 27th, but its likely to happen some time after that, possibly even weeks after.
The most important thing for EVERYONE to understand is that nothing catastrophic or dramatic is going to happen immediately when the FCC rules go into effect. Telecom shills will immediately start saying “See? The sky didn’t fall, we never needed #NetNeutrality.“
They’re lying.
The ISPs aren’t going to immediately start blocking content or rolling out paid prioritization scams. They know Congress and the public are watching them. Rather, the death of #NetNeutrality will be slow and insidious. You might not even notice it at first.
And that’s the worst part. What will happen is over time ISP scams and abuses will become more commonplace and more accepted. They’ll roll out new schemes that appear good on their face but undermine the free market of ideas by allowing ISPs to pick winners and losers.
Over time we’ll see less awesome startups. Less awesome videos. Less diverse online content. And we’ll see more content that our ISPs want us to see. The Internet will be watered down and manipulated. It will change forever in ways that harm our democracy.
But it will take time.
So: don’t fall for ISP lobbyists talking points. They’re ALREADY claiming that #NetNeutrality was never needed since the sky hasn’t fallen, and the rules haven’t even gone into effect. But also don’t panic. The Internet is not going to die next week. Keep calm and keep fighting.
The Senate will vote in a matter of weeks on a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to block the FCC’s repeal. Now is the moment to get engaged.
Check out the tabletop RPG I’ve spent years writing, refining, and playtesting!
An Atlas of the Horizons features approachable rules and a suite of character creation options to build a variety of interesting and unique characters.
Combat is flexible and fast, focusing on risks and long term consequences more than just abrupt character death.
Two unique magical systems exist. The spells of a magus are flashy but dangerous. The invocations of the witch are slower, but more flexible.
Those who do not harness magic may be mavericks, bringing their exceptional skills and techniques to bear, or trainers, guiding an animal or spirit companion, or knights, upholding principles which empower them to shrug off injuries and obstacles.
Each character applies his nature to one or more paths, granting skills and abilities in a certain field, such as stealth, melee, or academics.
With 7 natures and 24 paths to pursue, over 16,000 unique combinations exist to create your character in this fairy tale world of budding ornate technology, dangerous divine beasts, and new frontiers.
Yo, please check out my friends work and send some support or a signal boost their way! This project is a huge long-term culmination of hard work and passion on both their part and the artist’s part! As someone who got to see it early on I’m very excited about how far it has come and looking forward to actually getting a chance to support it.
Guys, Direct Relief (directrelief.org) is one of the highest-rated charities with 99% of donated money going directly to their programs. As I’m sure you’ve heard, Aleppo is about to be completely destroyed. DO is assisting with the Syrian Refugee Crisis and can use all the help they can get. If you are in a position to donate, please do so.
