Anytime it's brought to my attention, it's in a "WE HAVE TO STOP THIS NOW OR WE'RE ALL FUCKED WE ARE DOWN TO THE WIRE!" fashion, but then nothing happens and the TPP just disappears for a while again
what people don't realize is that bills like this get constantly kicked around and are almost never signed into law. I don't think the TPP has actually come all that close even once.

I got an email suggesting that we were this close to having the Internet be ruined forever and we had to act NOW to prevent that...
I would have voted for a republican candidate in the last presidential election (I forget his name, Rex something) if he'd actually made it through the primaries, but he was too socially liberal, so he didn't.
I still don't fully understand why someone would stand as a Republican candidate with policies that were not typically Republican.

Anonus this may shock you but not everything you get in a random email from fuckknowswhere is a reliable and trustworthy source. Those websites have their own reasons to get everyone in a panic about the internet being shut down, panic leads to clicks, and clicks lead to revenue.
That is why this is constantly treated like a huge issue. The same people who would call Fox News "Faux News" can't be bothered to doublecheck to see if what RandomTechSite.org or TechnologyPanics.net is true or not.

Oh I take TPP-related stuff with a grain of salt now
Also, this was brought to my attention by an email sent by openmedia.org, not TechnologyPanics.net or anything like that...
Second impression: internet slow lane? Where to these people live? I already live with data caps and risk getting my internet shut off if I go over them.

I don't have data caps, but I don't know if they continue to apply to me solely because of a grandfather clause or not...
Adam Tod Brown's area of expertise, the reason popular listicle site Cracked continues paying him to write articles, is that he has mildly unpopular opinions.
They're not everywhere (which is good) but they're common, and have been common for a good amount of time (which is bad).
In many other countries (eg. Canada) they're the norm.
As someone who actually lives in Canada, this is why I laugh at people who say they want to move to Canada to avoid the (admittedly bad) behaviour of American ISPs.

sometimes he accidentally stumbles onto a good point, but dude's kind of an idiot by and large.
whelp I have now officially sent five beats to really good rapper Stripes Solid.
He asked me for some! So hopefully these are the first collaborations of many.
Working outside the Skullboy clique is a little weird to me, admittedly (his own group of friends he makes music with is called SuckMyDickImAShark, which is really just legitimately a great name).
Going the opposite route, saying "Ant-Man needs to be THIS so that he fits in with the next crossover" is almost certain to lead to a less interesting final result than "Just make Ant-Man and we'll work out what he'll do in Avengers when we see if people like him or not." That first way is how Warner Bros and DC are currently trying to nudge Justice League into place - it's not going great so far. They're doing a movie whose subtitle is Dawn of Justice. An actual movie. Not a parody or a deliberate send-up. A real honest to goodness movie. With that title. Yeah.
My favorite Adam Tod Brown moment was when he was trying to say something good about The Jonas Brothers, and he praised one song of theirs by pointing out how much it sounded like "Reflektor" by The Arcade Fire.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
On a related note, it's kind of shameful how Warner Bros. has been less kind to characters it owns all the rights to than some of Marvel's licensees have been to characters they are just licensing
Warner Bros. gave us Catwoman-in-name-only, that's like Classic Media kind of shit

I have heard pretty much nothing good about the ill-fated Jonah Hex or Green Lantern movies...they were made by Warner Bros., based on DC characters that they OWN lock, stock and barrel
Of course, for every Singer X-Men or Raimi Spider-Man, there's Story's Fantastic Four or that Daredevil movie, so

bahahahaha
Is that not a good song
it's a really strange comparison.
Granted the Jonas Brothers used to get more hate than they deserved but there are better ways of defending them than that.

Yon Assassin and I don't care for The Arcade Fire one bit. ATB's intended audience probably had a lot of Arcade Fire fans, so the comparison was intended to make them say "Whaaaa?" and then go listen to see if the two songs really were that much alike. My reaction was, instead, "Jonas Brothers at their best sound like Arcade Fire? Yet another reason to continue ignoring both."

I still don't fully understand why someone would stand as a Republican candidate with policies that were not typically Republican.
Because, as I noted, the two major political parties in the United States are basically like the governing coalitions in the UK and Canada, rather than like the individual parties.
Ideological coherence is something that comes and goes on long timescales, and right now it's coming, or mostly here already, but in the recent past, it wasn't. Instead, voting blocs have varied in size and shifted and recombined their allegiences over time.
My gosh, it's beautiful. No words... Should have sent a poet.
I sorta get the impression you wouldn't like it, but if you're feeling adventurous a lot of his album Acid Rap sounds like that. Though he is as his name indicates primarily a rapper rather than a singer.

You can't believe every email you get
they prey on people who are insecure about the government and its authority. It's a fuckin' sham it is.

Maybe I'm just too trusting.
There's a lot of stuff about copyright trolls, which I guess are a legitimate issue, but beyond that it just seems to be editorials and giveaways.
In many other countries (eg. Canada) they're the norm.
with my cold cold heart and my blood red hands
i dont care what your government represents
