The internet is the most efficient and used information network today. It blows watching televised news programs and reading newspapers out of the water. It’s very common for dictators to oppress any means of spreading information so the people can’t, educate themselves on the truth, organize, and rebel.
Just thought I’d remind people of this with the FCC vote literally DAYS away. It’s definitely not coincidence.
The only reason he wants to get rid of the internet and take away net neutrality is because then he can control it. So if you try looking up bad stuff about trump, it wouldn’t show up. This is against the laws!!!
REMINDER: INTERNET ACCESS WAS DEEMED A HUMAN RIGHT BY THE UNITED NATIONS IN 2003. TAKING AWAY INTERNET ACCESS IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
HOLY FUCK
All the people who usually scream about freedom of speech need to see that last GIF.
Also, homebound people like me literally require the internet to survive. It’s our only contact with the outside world.
My fiancee and I were discussing the worst metal to use to make armor, and the obvious answers are lead and gold, but she cunningly suggested mercury. Which is a fair point, but then I wondered if solid mercury is any good. Googling told me that the melting point of mercury is -38° c (-37° f), so first you get it really fucking cold. At that point, it turns out that mercury has a tensile strength of 1900 mpa, compared to lead’s 18 and steel’s ~500-940 (depending upon the kind of steel).
Now, I know that tensile strength is not necessarily the best measure of a material’s ability to function as armor, but I’m a liberal arts major and didn’t care to actually do that much more research before going straight to, “EVIL ICE DEMONS IN MERCURY ARMOR. THE PCS CAN’T LOOT IT BECAUSE WHEN THEY PUT IT ON IT MELTS AND KILLS THEM.”
Ice Demons wielding weapons made of frozen mercury. Spearheads that break off & melt inside the target. Swords that leave tiny bits of melted mercury inside the wound (the swords re-freeze to razor sharpness while in the ice demon’s claws).
Item: blades, spears, and/or arrowheads made of mercury frozen by Ice Magic; can only be used by one with Ice Magic, but deliver whatever damage the weapon type would normally make plus equal amounts of Cold and 1d8 Poison. Once the wound has been delivered, it continues to deliver 1d8 Poison until the mercury has been removed by healing magic, Wish, &c.
Ok, all the frozen Mercury is cool and all, but gold armor…
can we please talk about that group of historians that are launching a play about Lin Manuel Miranda getting dickens-style haunted until he admits Alexander Hamilton was a terrible person?? because on one hand I feel like it’s a bit of an extreme reaction to a piece of fiction that no one takes as historical fact, but also it sounds extremely iconic and incredible and only historians could pull off being that hilariously petty
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
