“I’m a Canadian.

We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.

We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.

Only better*

Meet Bill-C11. Formerly Bill C-32. (I think they thought if they made the number lower people would care less about it?)

{…}

But, as innocuous as it sounds, C-11 does a whole lot that SOPA did with a few extra twists you might not find in the Wikipedia write-up.

Like your PVR? You can’t keep it under C-11.

Like ripping CDs to your iPod? Say bye-bye.

Hey, do you want to be able to unlock your $500 smartphone and take it to a provider less dedicated to violating your wallet? That won’t be allowed either.

Did you get accused of internet piracy but no evidence has been presented and a trial date hasn’t even been set? Under C-11 your ISP will now be forced to terminate your internet access.

And people say that governments can’t be bought.

There are only 14 days left people. Get active.”

“I didn’t notice until last night that Longshot was readying his bow to put Jet out of his misery after he got injured in Lake Laogai. It makes his death the saddest.”

It wasn’t to kill Jet.

It was to kill anyone who came through the door to try and move them or Jet. Hence why he is facing the door.

“I find the beginning sequence of Avatar: Legend of Korra a little awkward. For three seasons, I have heard the elements in the order of “Water, Earth, Fire, Air”. I cannot physically say them as “Earth, Fire, Air, Water”.”

It’s awesome, because it places the element with the current Avatar last and goes in the order of the Avatar cycle. 

If they made another Avatar series it would likely be Fire, Air, Water, Earth.

This tumblr used to be funny and I’d check it everyday.  Now it just sounds like a page dedicated to being miserable and trolling anything and everything possible.

Parris left this comment in a NAB entry from 2010. Nine years after the Hugo Awards.

I’m still bitter and angry about that particular rocket. Rowling writes in the genre, but she is not of the genre, if you get my meaning, and Storm of Swords is a mighty Everest of fantasy writing.

Hell,…

No to be being miserable. I am a very positive person.

Yes to trolling everything and anything.

Clearly Rowling won over GRRM because A) Her books are great and B) She doesn’t spend a flobbity gillion years writing one.

Who can’t love this guy?

also the story of heteronormative assimilation, whoops

^^^ Assimilation makes me grumpy.

yeaaaaaah uh i did not read it that way at all

I guess I am just missing the heteronormative-ness here? Cuz I’m missing it. And the assimilation..

…? but he is saying nice things? I do not understand where you are getting the negative shit from. 

Proof that it is literally impossible to make some people happy. Ever. 

Unless it’s that the story of America part is bad? Because.. the sotry of America is pretty shitty one.

Heightism

tsotchke:

There are all types of discrimination, all types of prejudices. Some of the more common of these are: race, ethnic background and nationality. Even overweight individuals have appeared on talk shows and…

 Heh, it’s not surprising that people don’t take heightism seriously. At work for 2 years in a row my coworkers had me be an elf for Breakfast with Santa. Purely because I was short. Thankfully I had a close friend of mine to share this misfortune with.

Growing up though, I used to be RUTHLESSLY bullied and harassed because I’m shorter. People still make constant comments. The main adjective that I receive to describe my looks is “cute”. I find this insulting, degrading, and demeaning. I don’t WANT to be cute. Cute is a child. Cute is a puppy. Cute is a kitten. Cute is something young, fuzzy, and naive.

Yet this form of discrimination IS laughed at. Dumbthingswhitepplesay PROVES that point by mocking it. I get midget, elf, shortie, cute, shrimp, runt, munchkin, and much more than that. I get asked if I’m OLD enough to work somewhere despite being 20 years old. When I worked register people would “joke” that I should have a step stool. I would have people tell me “Awww you’re so adorable! How old are you? 10/11/12/13?” If I show that I’m offended they’ll brush it off as “Oh it’s meant to be a compliment! You’ll be happy about it when you’re OLDER!” Only, I’m not laughing because it is offensive.

I get comments such as “stand up”, when I am. I get people handing me the children’s menu instead of the adult’s menu. I have to pay extra for pants to have them hemmed. I often have to ask other people to reach things for me because I can’t. I sometimes have people pick me up with out my consent.

How is that NOT discrimination? How is that NOT oppressive? I have been denied jobs because of my height. I ALSO can not donate blood because of my height. I can’t join the military because I’m too short. So I don’t have that option in order to pay my way through college.

okay but when are you going to deal with your white supremacy issues, tho

i will care about your height right after that, i swear

also i guess i am a subject of heightism because i get ‘cute’ and ‘how old are you really’ all the time and tons of people have tried to pick me up without my consent

also clothes never fit my fat black ass. claiming my fat ass oppression now guise.

my life is so hard

hard

will wait for you to not be a white supremacist shit tho, bb

Yes, and tall people get called stretch, string bean, giraffe, giant, “How’s the weather up there?” and so on. 

At most I can see it being called rude behaviour. It’s certainly not discrimination.

You don’t get passed over for jobs, or fired because you are short. You don’t live in fear of someone being so repulsed by your shortness that they are violent towards you. You don’t see media talking about how terrible/evil/disgusting/immoral short people are. You don’t worry you will lose friends over being short. Or know that people are avoiding you because you are short. 

I could go on and on, but I think the point is pretty obvious. 

You said that you can’t join the army. Neither can extremely tall people. Who also must get clothes altered. Although, the Army (American) only rejects women shorter than 58 inches, which is 4’8”. And men shorter than 60 inches, which is 5’. 

Oh, and many of the things I have listed do happen to little people (I think that is the preferred term). But I am addressing folks who are just shorter than average.

Buuut. As much as it sucked, if they had saved Harry’s parents then there wouldn’t have been any way to defeat Voldemort. 

As the prophecy was a self fulfilling one. It was only by attacking Harry and having the spell rebound, inadvertently giving Harry some of Voldemort’s powers that there was a way to defeat him.

That awkward moment when you’re an adult actor & your direction is “make ‘fuck me’ eyes at this CGI infant.

According to the RCMP it is impossible to track down who uploads music or movies to the Internet. The police simply do not have the time nor the resources to go after file sharers. “Piracy for personal use is no longer targeted”, said Noël St-Hilaire, head of copyright theft investigations of the RCMP in an interview with Le Devoir. St-Hilaire explained that they would rather focus on crimes that actually hurt consumers such as copyright violations related to medicine and electrical appliances, as well as ones that affect organized crime.

#hey US. take a look at this. #they would rather focus on crimes that actually hurt consumers #yeah #yeah

Caitlin your tags are so true they hurt.
