I officially declare that Star Wars has one of the worst fandoms around.
You’re not wrong.
Mfw I’ve known this ever since the Prequel era:
Is anyone doxxing in the Star Wars fandom?
Not to my knowledge, but apart from endless bitching I know for a fact they tormented Jake Lloyd for being little Anakin so much they drove him insane into a mental hospital and he burned all of his star wars merch.
He actually had Schizophrenia, but yea he was bullied so much that he retired from acting and got rid of all his star wars stuff.
That is so sad. :( Why would they bully a little kid?
He was bullied because the “fans” didn’t like the prequels.
Even Mark Hamill hated what was done to Jake Lloyd and all the kid did was follow Lucas’s direction for the film. It was not even his fault.
I’ve never really gotten the vitriol the prequels have to suffer. Sure they’re deeply flawed films but by no means are they the worst thing ever.
•10 days ago, I was crying in a hospital room thinking I had lost everything, including my will to live. Today I started an amazing new job and couldn’t stop smiling all day.
•3 nights ago, my boyfriend was crying in our bathroom, gun in hand, ready to end it all. Yesterday, he had the best day of his life.
•6 years ago my best friend self harmed everyday and had to miss two months of school because she was hospitalized due to her eating disorder. She now lives in the city of her dreams, runs her own business, and is happier and healthier than she ever thought possible.
•4 years ago my brother was heartbroken writing his suicide note. Now he wakes up to his wife cooking breakfast and the sound of his kids laughing every day.
I guess what I’m saying is that you can get through anything. You will survive even your worst days. Please don’t give up, because you never know if tomorrow holds everything you have been waiting for.
Two years ago I was self harming every day and ready to end my life, I had nothing.. Now I have a job, a license, great friends, the best and most supportive partner I’ve ever had and I’m closer than ever with my family.
My cousin, who is pregnant with her first child, just went into premature labor. The baby is only about 1 pound at this stage, so please, please pray they can stop the labor and save this baby.
The baby was stillborn and my cousin has lost a lot of blood. Please pray for them.
I haven’t done an update on Net Neutrality in a while as I was trying to find a reasonable “next step”, especially since it’s been out of the “news cycle” for a bit. Well, I have some good news.
According to the senator (minority leader Chuck Schumer) from New York, they now have a total of 50 votes for a Senate resolution of disapproval that would restore the Open Internet Order of 2015 and deliver a stiff rebuke to Ajit Pai and other Republican members of the FCC. It would also prevent the agency from passing a similar measure in the future, all but guaranteeing Net Neutrality is permanently preserved
What’s stopping them now? They need just ONE more Republican and they have less than 30 days to do it.
So goes the next actionable step. You have to contact your senators and get them to suppose the Congressional Review of “the Open Internet Order of 2015″.
2) Via https://resist.bot/ - you can write to Congress using this site or Text RESIST to Resistbot on Telegram, Messenger, or to 50409 on SMS. By providing basic information, you can write your Senator to move forward.
Now, if you got a Democratic Senator, push them on to find that one Republican Senator. If you got a Republican Senator, encourage them to reconsider their stance on Net Neutrality.
We just need ONE Republican Senator and we have less than 30 days to do so.
Yeah, no, I’m cross-tagging because the lack of attention this is getting overall is pissing me off.
Ajit Pai killed Net Neutrality. You’ll start seeing the effects you were warned about on April 23rd. Oh, and he apparently got an award for Courage from the NRA gun nuts, too.
You can still help by calling your senators and representatives. We just need ONE MORE PERSON on our side to get the senate portion of Congress to overrule the FCC’s decision to kill net neutrality. The battle for the net won’t end there, but it’s a start. Go to battleforthenet to find out who your reps are and where they stand, and CONTACT THEM.
Twenty-three states are also suing the FCC for this. I haven’t looked into it yet, but I assume big businesses like Google and Amazon are as well. Nevertheless, we can’t rely on lengthy lawsuits alone. The changes to your internet start in less than two months. We don’t have a whole lot of time.
Blow this up. Contact your reps. Please, do something! We HAVE to get the decision overruled!
hi yeah i found out recently that the popular caramelldansen (you know. the one you know.) is actually a fucking nightcore remix and this is the original
We found a tumor in our dog (Jake)’s mouth and he needs urgent treatment, but we don’t have enough. His treatment will cost around $1,000, please if anyone can spare not even a dollar please do so. My family has just recently lost our oldest dog to old age, had someone come to our house to euthanize him. He couldn’t walk and his motor functions were failing thanks to his stroke he had recently. We can’t list another one.
Anyone please help Jake beat his cancer?
He will be overjoyed to see so much love and kindness
when you’re listening to really fast music that pumps you up but you’re not doing anything particularly exciting so you just sit there super energetically
For those of you not living in Ireland, here’s how to use the RTÉ Player!
So if you wanna watch Jack’s interview tonight on the Irish Late Late Show but you don’t live in Ireland, here’s instructions on how to watch it anyway! :D
So first of all, download the RTÉ Player app (available on the App Store, and it’s totally free), which basically allows you to watch the channel live!
This is what it looks like!
So it opens up onto the homepage that looks like this! So what you’re gonna do, is click the LIVE button on the bottom taskbar! (I have it circled in green!)
It’ll open up the RTÉ channels! The Late Late Show plays on RTÉ ONE. So that’s the one you click!
You’ll probably have to watch one or two ads, and the player is normally maybe 10 seconds behind, but there you go!
Late Late Show is on at 9.35pm Ireland time!
PMA 💚
I was also looking at the website and they seem to have a live streaming page there too!
If you allow flash to run on your browser it should work.
We put up a good fight…but now we only have 60 days to turn this around. There is still ONE thing we can all do!!!!!
There’s something called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that can be used to stop the FCC. We just need ONE MORE VOTE to win the Senate!!!
For those who missed my last giant post a few months ago, last year, the FCC voted to repeal the Obama regulations designed to protect a fair and open internet. If these regulations are knocked down, providers like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizonwill have EVERY RIGHT to slow down internet speeds to those who aren’t on their more expensive plans. Even further, they have the power to censor and regulate what we see online. MORE further, they’d even have the power to slow down competitors’ streaming speeds, like Netflix, to make their own services more appealing. THIS SHIT IS NOT RIGHT!!!!!
First thing you can do is to GET OFF YOUR ASS (OR ON IT IF YOU’RE AT A COMPUTER…) and take 20 seconds to sign this!!!! Second thing is to SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN WITH EVERYONE!!!
There’s going to be a huge protest on Feb 27th that I’ll be taking part in. The above link goes into detail on what YOU can do on that day. Please guys. Don’t just sit there and let this happen. THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE! THIS IS OUR INTERNET!!!! NOW FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!!!
Net Neutrality Update: The Repeal Rules Are Being Set.
Hi everyone, it’s been a long time since I’ve done an NN Update.
As some of you may have seen by what I reblog or have heard from other sources, today is the day the Net Neutrality Repeal takes it’s effect on America. Our time to prepare for this war is up, and now we must see what our enemy has done to our rights.
Guys, we all don’t know how things will turn out today, but hopefully it won’t be as terrible as anticipated and we can all still stay online at least with the free slow stream.
I encourage you all not to panic again, as that will lead to nothing but Hysteria and drive focus away from keeping the fight going in the right direction like before.
The Good News: I believe they are really just going after our CELLULAR DATA. If you have a personal wifi router or server at home, or use a laptop mainly with wifi in general I think we are safe from the problem that way.
I cannot confirm this, but I’m certain that if you have your own router at home that you wont have to worry about losing anything as long as you aren’t on data. I’m just thinking with common sense, they shouldn’t be able to cut off your wifi router, unless I’m mistaken.
The Obvious Bad News: Unfortunately, if my assumptions are correct, this means usage of cellular data will be more expensive. This would likely lead to several people, who’s family’s use cellular data for online purposes over a wifi router, or those of us who use cellular data mainly outside or homes if there isn’t wifi that’s connectable, then we have a serious issue.
If I am correct in how it will only effect our cellular data usage and hopefully we will still be capable of accessing the free web, then we have a bigger chance than we anticipate to get on our feet.
Possible Solutions: I believe, if I’ve heard correctly, that this is an election year. If that’s the case we may be able to solve this sooner than we hoped. Trump supports the repeal, and Ajit Pai is Trump’s FCC Chairman. If we can play our cards right this time, unlike last year with all the fools who voted for Trump and most likely regret that decision now, we can get the negative out of office and hopefully vote in people who know what they’re doing is not for themselves, but for us, the people.
Wifi Routers, if I’m right, can’t be tampered with persay when dealing with the internet being slowed and the different prices set up for speeds, along with possible blockage of real news and just things we hoped to do online like follow or view certain blogs and websites.
So, not only can we aim for electing people into office who also support the people and will try to fix what the Trump Administration has broken, we may be able to fix the problem here over time, and hopefully help out Canada as well to save their NN.
I cannot stress enough the importance of avoiding panic. Please try not to let your emotions cause you to commit violence that you might regret, or cause you to spread panic to others.
Everyone, if things turn out to be the worst case scenario, I may or may not be forced to leave along with several others. Hopefully nobody will have to be removed.
STAND STRONG AND KEEP FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHT TO A FREE AND OPEN INTERNET!!! DO NOT LET THEM TAKE AWAY ANOTHER POSITIVE THING FROM OUR COUNTRY JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN SELFISH REASONS
We, The People, are NOT playing pieces of a monopoly board game.
Our Senators, Our Representatives, Our Congress, Our President, should not be taking away what basically all of the people support.
THIS IS WRONG, LIKE SO MANY OTHER ACTIONS OUR PRESIDENT HAS CAUSED AND/OR ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING HE DOES NOT LIKE OR WAS MADE BY SOMEONE HE DOES NOT LIKE.
The battle we have been fighting with trying to win over our Congress members and sign petitions is coming to an end, the time for preparation is practically gone, and now the real war is beginning.
We should not have to beg for OUR GOVERNMENT’S ELECTED OFFICIALS to do the right thing!!!
When we get the chance to do so, lets elect new people into office who have good intentions for America and it’s people rather than their own selfish, corrupt desires.
I believe in everyone, there is still hope, there is still a battle to be had, we can still save it.

Playing anything after playing assassin’s creed for a month: why the fUCK can’t I climb this
assassin’s creed was the first video game I ever played, and I finished the first game in a weekend more or less without pause. then I went to work on Monday and, being totally unfamiliar with the Tetris effect, was extremely taken aback by the immediate impulse to reach my teller station by vaulting over the counter. I mean, I didn’t even question it at first. I made it maybe two long purposeful steps forward before my brain caught up and I spent the rest of the day doubting my own actions.
One time I played so much Bioshock at the weekend that on my walk to uni the next day I saw a vaguely rectangular bit of trash out the corner of my eye and automatically thought “better pick up that first aid kit”
When fallout 4 came out, I played so much of it that when I saw a pile of wood near my house, I tried to scrap it and was perplexed as to why it wasn’t selectable.
after playing the sims i mistakenly thought i was alive and had feelings
After playing PAYDAY 2 my mind would automatically take note of any security cameras and security guards that I would find in the real world
so remember that worldbuilding website, notebook.ai, that was goin around and everyone was so excited, but it turned out you had to pay a (frankly outrageous) subscription to access any of the best tools?
