next time someone tells you Muslim countries oppress women, let them know Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Turkey, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, and Senegal have all had female Presidents or Prime Ministers and 1/3rd of Egypt’s parliament is female but the US has yet to even have a female vice president and can’t say “vagina” when discussing female reproductive rights

Conservatives: I hate Muslim people. Look at what that Muslim person did at that Orlando LGBT bar.

LGBT people: So, does that mean you care about LGBT people?

Conservatives: No! Gay people are pedophiles, and transgender women are just men who want to invade women’s restrooms and harass women! WE NEED TO PROTECT WOMEN!

Women: So, does that mean you care about women?

Conservatives: Shut up, feminazi! Women in the United States are not oppressed! If you want to talk about women’s oppression, you should be focusing on how women in other countries are treated!

Refugees: So, does that mean you care about people from other countries?

Conservatives: Stay out of our country! Why should we care about refugees when we have people here who need help?

Homeless People: So, does that mean you care about people who need help?

Conservatives: No! Get a job, freeloader!

this is accurate

Conservatives:  Why don’t you all care about me?!  

Everyone else:  [Stares into the camera like they are on the Office.]

Conservatives: Why are you all protesting the election results?

Protestors: So we wont die because of your beliefs.

Things the actor I’m crushing on has done over this performance weekend: -Wore the wrong jacket for a scene -Ran into a set piece and bumped it off spike -Knocked a basket of flowers off the same set piece in a different scene -Walked into the theatre wall in a black out

Protect him, he’s awkward.

-broke his pocket watch chain -ripped his pants -almost lost his coin prop -knocked over a basket of flowers -recovered a broken birdcage handle

-Agreed to go out with me!

We can fix pretty much anything, except when it comes to emotional stuff, but we can give you a good laugh instead.

WHO THOUGHT THE CONGO JR WAS A GOOD IDEA?!

I got to try it when it was still in an earlier test phase. The board was great. They really managed to mess up a good thing. Down with Congo, long live the Eos family (and the legacy of Horizon)!

OH MAN. My high school used to run Horizon until we got an Element. There’s a trip.

The JR just looks like an Ion, but with Congo software and the syntax feels really counter intuitive for me? There are things it does that I can see being super useful (It has a group based interface with lots of independent channels that basically streamlines the busking and parking process I guess) but it would be so much more helpful I think in a format similar to the rest of the ETC line, or of what I’ve seen of the Hog 4/MA2.

ALSO LIKE WHO MAKES A CONSOLE THAT DOESN’T LET YOU HAVE ZERO COUNT CUES.

The Cobalt is petty different as well from what I hear. To put channel 1 at Full for example, the syntax is [1][channel][full][@level]

…whoooo thought that would make sense? Like, 30% sarcastic 70% serious.

WAIT. I AM STAYING 90 MINUTES FROM ETC WORLD HEADQUARTERS AND DON’T HAVE TO BE AT CALL UNTIL 3PM TOMORROW.

Just walk in and demand to see Fred in his garage/office. 

I’m not sure which I like the idea of more

(A) Steve’s mental image of ETC’s world headquarters being basically run out of a garage like Google used to

or 

(B) that I should just walk up and be like “Hey that guy who writes Q2Q said I should talk to Fred so I’m here.”

I mean if it helps, my best friend works there too.

I have it on good authority that Fred Foster’s office is modeled after the garage that he started the company in. 

Not kidding. Here it is. Garage door and all!

holy shit.
