for anyone who chose not to read the post:

  • artist needed money for college, people from tumblr/dA told them their prices were too expensive and that no one would commission them.
  • artist was desperate and logged on to their old Furaffinity account to take commissions
  • artist got a shitton of commissions and everyone was supportive and encouraging
  • people ended up tipping the artist 10-20$ per commission because they thought the artist was undercharging

tl;dr - furries supported artist and treated them better than the “pro-artist” sides of dA and tumblr.

so when’s cringe culture gonna wake up and realize that this weird baseless hatred of furries is largely rooted in the fact that it’s a community of 95% openly queer & sex-positive folk…

they ain’t never gonna wake up. cringe culture is here to hate, and hating furries is a smokescreen to cover up the fact that this is bigotry bullying the marginalized.

"We have a constitutional right to murder!"

Sweet fucking Lord help us all. I know the Alabama bill had problems but it could have been rewritten. This is just bullshit.

Also way to overstep the power of the federal government. Watch the government ban marijuana in Colorado and Washington again because of the precedents.

murder =/= abortion; I will not argue this. good for ACLU

Why'd you even open your gob if you're going to say you're keeping your head in the sand

1. you don’t have to be rude

2. to clarify my stance on the abortion debate

3. there is a difference between keeping one’s head in the sand and firmly believing in something even if it disagrees with another person

People who think abortion is murder are the ones with thier heads in the sand because I've never met a group of people more unwilling to hear what the other side has to say. And I used to spend majority of my time on this god forsaken sight debating people.

And yet it's pro-choice people who regularly pretend pro-life women don't even exist. 

Call me crazy, but if one side’s narrative relies heavily on misrepresenting the opposition, that’s morally repugnant, even if their overall position is sound.

No one pretends they don't exist. We just call them dillholes like the rest.

Go fuck yourself with your shit argument "pro life women exist" bug fucking whoop. Just because a woman has a shit opinion on women's rights it doesn't automatically invalidate the other sides arguments and people like you need to stop acting like it does.

Seriously. Woman? Doesn’t want to have an abortion? Cool. Wants to dictate what other people do with their bodies? Fuck right off. Just like the dudes with the same opinion. Don’t care what gender you are it’s not that deep fam. That’s pro control, not pro life. Pro choice lets you treasure your own unformed crotch goblins all you want. Have a field day.

yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:

(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)

so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)

I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.

Pretend to be upset.

OP how could you

I hope none of my friends who use Adobe programs find this, follow your detailed instructions, and spread the word. That would be devastating!

You know a movie I haven’t nerded about in a long while? Dragonheart.

God I love Dragonheart.

Last-of-his-kind sassy giant lizard that has Negative Fucks to give so he just spends his days overdramatically trolling humans cuz he’s got nothing better to do? Brilliant.

Rogue knight who befriends the dragon and starts conning villages with the promise to “slay the evil dragon and be your brave hero!!!” But it’s really just Theatrical Reptile Repeatedly Faking His Own Death? Iconic.

Literally any scene with Brother Gilbert? Superb.

The sheer talent that went into bringing Draco to life I mean holy shit???

Story that will leave you EMOTIONALLY DISTRAUGHT for two hours??? Oh yeah.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC? Nnmmmggggg love it.

And then of course

This fuckboat baby piss-shit you want to drug into a permanent coma every time you see that creepy smug ass doucheface god damn what great acting though

As someone who semi-regularly scans discourse tags to keep my blocklist up-to-date, I genuinely cannot even remember the last time I blocked someone who was only exclusionary along one axis. Ace exclusionists are also crypto-TERFs and transmeds and anti-queer and anti-self-dx and anti-fiction and exorsexist and and AND.

It's almost like accepting hateful, exclusionary ideology into your worldview makes it trivial to continue doing so until you're everything you claim to stand against. Weird.

i think edward elric entire military experience can be summarized as john mulaney’s “horse loose in the hospital” bit

there is a CHILD ALCHEMIST LOOSE IN THE STATE MILITARY!

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE CHILD IS GOING TO DO, LEAST OF ALL THE CHILD!

HE’S NEVER BEEN IN THE MILITARY BEFORE!

They interviewed a man who once saw a baby in a restaurant.

WE’VE ALL SEEN A BABY IN A RESTAURANT!!!

THIS IS A CHILD. LOOSE IN THE MILITARY.

And then, for a second, it seemed like maybe we could survive the child, and then, 5 miles under the capital city, an evil homunculus was like, “I have a huge transmutation circle and I’m going to kill everyone to become god!” And before we could say anything, the child was like, “If you even fucking look at Amestris, I will punch you to death with my fists. I dare you to do it. I want you to do it. I want you to do it so I can take my unresolved daddy issues out on you, I’m so fucking crazy.”

This post was written by Roy Mustang

Sometimes it’s not a bad thing, just surprising. Like, “Today the child did alchemy without a transmutation circle,” and everyone is like, “Huh, I didn’t know he could do that.”

The creepiest days are when you don’t hear from the child at all. Those are the days when everyone is like “I think the child has finally calmed down,” and then the child is like “I just uncovered a government conspiracy. I went in that secret lab and snuck in there with my tiny body. I have a tiny body, but don’t you tell me that, or I’ll fuck you up,” and you’re like “That’s what I thought you’d say, you tiny fucking child.”

And then for a second we’re like “Maybe the government will fire the child,” and the child is like “I have dismantled the government.”

McDonald's loses EU trademark battle over the Big Mac. Burger King starts trolling them.

The full story:

There is an Irish restaurant chain called Supermacs that has opnened around 100 stores in Ireland since 1978. 

Recently, McDonald’s decided that this small restaurant chain that hasn’t even made it out of Ireland needed to be taught a lesson, and sued them on the basis that “Supermacs” infringes on the “Big Mac” brand name. Which is, of course, absolutely ridiculous.

McDonald’s ended up losing the case, because of course they did, they didn’t have a case to begin with. As a result, McDonald’s lost the rights to the term “Big Mac” across the entire European Union.

Which is why Burger King gets to do this with no legal repercussions.

See but this is a classic example of why it’s so important for a company (you independent artists and what not included!) need to challenge ALL breaches of trademark because otherwise it can be invalidated. Also it looks more like they probably retained their right to use the trademark to name their burger but lost a specific type of usage that prevents others from potentially misusing your brand. Probably a common usage ruling.

I am not a lawyer though I just know what my responsibilities are to protect my registered trademarks and what the consequences are if I don’t take the “bad guy” approach. There’s lots of ways for de-escalation though. Wonder what if any were tried before it went to courts.
