There is literally no chance of us civilians being able to overpower giant telecommunications megacorporations and their lobbyists from killing net neutrality
dont wanna sound like some fucking nihilist but democracy is dead, whoever has the most money always wins, folks need to go out and destroy the rich in able to achieve anything
government agencies don’t care for you, they wont listen to your petitions, being a citizen voter doesn’t matter on the federal level as the bourgeoisie will just pay for laws that provide them more profit, the proletariat don’t have $50,000,000,000 to slip into the pockets of the FCC chairman to “persuade” them
what does work though folks is direct action, the bureaucrats aren’t going to even consider your thoughts or needs unless you torch their $100,000 cars and throw cans of paint on their $4M houses
Seriously folks, if it gets destroyed, which it WILL, you people need to go out into the street and cause property damage to telecomm conglomerates and scream at the FCC until they bring it back
If net neutrality is killed and all we see are angry posts and a few buzzfeed articles discussing how Disney characters would react then there is absolutely no hope for the people of this country to stand up to any sort of authoritarian control if they can’t do anything besides blog about their rights being taken away
And don’t listen to any of the propaganda being spewed by bourgeoisie institutions like Bloomberg or CBS or NBC saying this is a good thing, literally every argument for it is saying “the internet is too chaotic and messy”, who else would say this besided the owners of the parent corporations who will make TRILLIONS off of the earnings of us proles
Another effect of this will be restriction of freedom of speech, the working class won’t have a way to communicate and express themselves when you have to pay 15 bucks a month just to use a website. And you bet your ass that those that do are going to be presented content that aligns to the corporation’s political, social, and economic leanings
Tumblr, which is owned by Yahoo and it’s parent company Verizon (which would be one of the 3 telecomm megacorps that would make tremendous amounts of money off of net neutrality being killed) has begun to delete posts regarding net neutrality awareness, as well as automatically removing the net neutrality tag from people’s saved tags
Corporations have the ability, and will enforce it, to silence opposition against their profits, spread this like fucking wildfire

We’re very excited to tell you that Before the Storm’s bonus episode “Farewell” will be releasing in early 2018 and in even more exciting news; Hannah Telle and Ashly Burch will be returning to play Max and Chloe! As you are all aware, Ashly has been working with the writing team at Deck Nine and we’re ecstatic that she will be returning to play the role of young Chloe.
Rhianna DeVries has done a fantastic job for the voice and motion capture of 16 year old Chloe so far, bringing a little bit of herself to the role, just as Ashly had in the previous game. We are forever thankful to Rhianna for the work she has put into Before the Storm and she will continue to work with us for the motion capture of young Chloe in Farewell.
As a reminder, in the Deluxe Edition’s exclusive bonus episode ‘Farewell’ you will be playing as a young Max Caulfield and this may very well be the last time that you will get to see Max and Chloe together! Unfortunately as much as we’d like to, we can’t say much more about it just now as the team is focused on completing the final stages of polish for episode three, the finale of Before the Storm.

WE CANNOT LET OUR NATION DIE. WE CANNOT LET OUR ENTIRE WORLD PERISH.
Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!
This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!
Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!
Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.
No Limits Capture The Flag: Everybody just picks
Torbjorn every single time. Nobody ever wins. Everybody just camps the
flag until they get kicked for inactivity.
Super Mystery Heroes: You don’t just switch heroes
on death. You switch heroes at irregular intervals, while still alive,
while doing literally anything. You still lose your ultimate charge
every time you switch.
Peace Be Upon You: On Nepal Shrine, both teams are
placed in one single communication channel, and must politely explain
why they think their team deserves to capture the point.
Animal Crossing: PVE. You’re given a house, which
you must maintain, and you are expected to perform daily miscellaneous
tasks for Winston, who gives you money and furniture in return. The
money isn’t transferable to the hero gallery. The furniture is. A new
section is added where you can equip each hero with a unique couch.
Hey what the fuck happened to all the net neutrality coverage
This shit is still happening people, and all of the sudden its disappeared from my dash almost entirely over night
I don’t know why, but I think people are automatically being unfollowed from the Net Neutrality tag. It happens to me every time I try to follow it. I’ll follow the tag, come back 20 minutes later & I’ll for some reason have unfollowed the tag automatically. I think this may be happening to a majority of people in an attempt to silence the resistance. Please take a screen shot of this post in case it gets deleted.
hey yeah can yall reblog this cause this is very important. Tumblr is ACTIVELY trying to silence out outrage at this by making us incapable of seeing coverage of events. We’re all gonna have to come together and step up about this.
Every little note counts, spread the word, dont give in so easily
I just checked this and i can CONFIRM that tumblr AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU UNFOLLOW THE NET NEUTRALITY TAGS AFTER 20 MINUTES
Please spread the word! Screen shot this post just in case it gets deleted!!
There is a reason that happens. Tumblr is OWNED by Verizon who is a leader in throwing money at getting rid of Net Neutrality. They have spent literally millions to bring it down so that they can charge you more, slow down your internet and block you from sites they do not deem appropriate. Keep sending in letters, emails and making phone calls. IF you post about it ADD links for FS!
2005: Comcast blocking p2p services; this directly impacted me and a hell of a lot of gamers. While the block was meant to stop piracy over bittorrent, not all torrents are illegal and several MMOs were using torrents for their updates. There was a few weeks where the game I was into (City of Heroes or WoW, I can’t recall) was literally unplayable because Comcast was blocking the updates.
Samus Aran amiibos can open the ticket barriers of Moscow Vyacheslav train station, without needing a ticket.
This is due to an oddly specific RFID in the amiibo that just syncs up correctly enough to the train station’s own reader. But what I like to say the real reason for this is
Samus don’t need no fucking authorisation so FUCK YOU ADAM
FUCK YOU AND YOUR DEAD MILITARY ASS BITCH I DON’T NEED NO AUTHORISATION
I’M FUCKING SAMUS
“Any objections, Putin?”
Can’t believe that Samus’ scan visor does unlock irl stuff.
how did someone even find this out. ‘fuck no ticket, let me in samus’
did they just like take all their amiibos to the train station and try them all on the scanners?
The best way to save money on Black Friday is to not buy useless shit just because it’s on special. You don’t need it, and it’s not that good of a deal.
today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it won’t just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.
this is what buying a plan without net neutrality looks like there:
you have to pay MORE for features you’re already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.
democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.
hey guys, please reblog this version and don’t forget to call!!! if you are nervous about calling, you can use resistbot to send faxes to your reps and thestance appto pre-record your message so you won’t have to speak to anyone. (available in both google play and app store)

On the Sonic Channel page there’s a new article with images never seen before.
“City” is pretty much unchanged, although I like how the bridge looks like a roller coaster, very Sonic-y.
On the other hand Casino Forest is almost unrecognizable, and looks much more colorful! While I definitely prefer this pallette over the ugly clash of dark green and bright purple and yellow, the cards motif remind me too much of Casino Street from Sonic 4.
Geez, Green Hill was dark. Straight up from Sonic CD! There are webcobs in the loop-de-loops! And look at that haunted castle/prison! While Green Hill in game doesn’t really look that affected by Eggman’s rule, this version is a bit too on the nose for me, so I can see why they changed it.
I have no idea why they’re focusing on that little “air car”, but it looks cute. Metropolis is the prettiest stage in the game and I love the tiny details that went into it.
And finally not really concept art, just an image of the gorgeous stormy sea in Chemical Plant.
