if anyone ever tells you that english isn’t ridiculous remember that the reason why we have a silent b in debt is because a group of guys got together to standardise english spelling and got to the word debt, which at the time was primarily spelled either ‘dett’ or ‘det’. so they basically went:
‘everyone speaks latin, right? so let’s put a silent b in debt. like debitum, which is latin for debt. problem solved.’
also the reason why there is a h in ghost is because when the printing press first came to england the only people trained to operate it were flemmish speaking, and they put a h after g because that’s what you do in flemmish. they put shit like ghirl and ghoose, but the only reason why ghost stuck is because people saw ‘the holy ghost’ in the bible and were like ‘well, that MUST be right’.
so yeah english is a really stupid language with some of the most ridiculous spelling
Anyone telling you that English isn’t a bullshit Frankenstein language is lying.
English mugs other languages in dark alleys and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary. Pass it on.
They don’t care about the public’s opinion anymore??? Are you shitting me??? Isn't America supposed to be a democracy where the people have a say in the future of this country?? They say they won’t listen to opinions anymore.
GUYS PUMP OUT COLD HARD FACTS. I’LL BE WRITING AN EMAIL TO THE HEAD SCUMBAG HIMSELF WITH SOME COLD HARD FACTS. I SUGGEST YOU GUYS DO THE SAME!!!
ps: i know I’m being obnoxious with all the unnecessary punctuation and all caps but i need to get the message across.
I absolutely agree with rephrasing the letters and redoubling efforts but as cathartic as it is to send letters directly to Ajit Pai, it’s misdirecting useful energy. He is about as anti-net neutrality as it is physically possible to be and even if you are a lawyer and you send perfectly phrased legalese to him, he is not going to change his position. The key here is to send messages to people that can potentially be swayed.

These are the other commissioners of the FCC. Please, aside from your senators and representatives, email these people and let them hear your voice.

FYI, I had a couple of posts tagged net neutrality scheduled to go out over the last couple days but they somehow never showed up? I’m suspicious now that they’re being censored. Keep an eye out for this.
this literally just happened i’ll post the screen cap in second
Error Code: OCP02 [Post Not Found] does this violate current net neutrality itself? like censoring posts like this …
It sure does. Big companies have been censoring content and voices for years, but without net neutrality they’ll basically be getting paid to do it en masse. It’ll get way worse way fast.
I wasn’t even going to reblog this, but it bothers me that no one seems to have mentioned that the way the pictures are put together makes it look like one version of him is feeling up the other
When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about changing the present by doing small things, but pretty much no one in the present thinks that they can change the future by doing something small.
Bill and ted had time travelers from the future going back in time to make sure that bill and ted pass their history class
we all know Vriska was the troll equivalent of a DnD enthusiast but I think it’s often overlooked just how big of an interest it was for her. i’m guilty of it myself!!
but all of the trolls are easily identified as being into x thing or y thing based on what’s in their rooms, even moreso than the kids; equius’ room is literally just robot parts and bows and horse art, there’s very little in terezi’s block save for dragon scales and piles of law books; and aside from the broken eight balls everywhere, vriska’s stuff is like 90% role playing merch!! it’s just dice and game posters and drawings of her character and character sheets. it’s just all role playing material.
im not gonna be the one to say it’s super easy to identify a homestuck character as being a nerd in the traditional, unadulterated 90s pop culture sense by the fact that they’re wearing glasses; but vriska is such a traditional, unadulterated 90s pop culture nerd
it’s worth noting too that while she did have a character and we know she played in some campaigns for herself, what we see in homestuck is largely her DMing a session, and that honestly just explains so much of her character, you know… her whole obsession with engineering the perfect villain… the fact that she thinks she has the know-how to organise an army to defeat the god of time and death… she spent 6 sweeps of her life writing stupid DnD campaigns for her friends and it could not be more obvious in literally everything she does
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.
