I specially like that one that says you’re homophobic trash for not liking a show where none of the characters are gay.

It turns out that if you ask the right questions in just the right way, some men will actually tell you that they're rapists. They'll just…admit it.


The key is, don't use the word rape. Just ask them what they've done.


Researchers asked 1,882 men: "Have you ever tried to have oral sex with someone by using (or threatening to use) physical force—twisting their arm, holding them down, etc.—if they did not cooperate?"


and: "Have you ever had sexual intercourse with someone, even though they didn't want to, because they were too intoxicated to resist your advances?"


120 answered yes.


(That's rape.)


1,882 men…


120 rapists.


They admitted to a total of 483 rapes and attempted rapes. 483!


Whoa.

Hi there!
A few weeks ago I attended a convention in my Sasha cosplay, and it was totally worth dealing with the 100 degree weather.
I just wanted to share this with you, and thank you for creating these characters, because all of them have impacted my life in some way, Sasha especially.
So thank you so much!

Ok Sasha was on screen for maaaaaybe 10 minutes total and I’m not sure if she actually had any lines (I think she might have shouted something in Russian as they were being attacked) and this character impacted OP’s life?? I mean….good for you, I guess.

Yes, she did, because she didn’t have to speak for her to have an impact. The first time we see her you can tell she’s a badass. She’s beautiful, she wears full makeup into battle, and  you can tell nobody fucks with her. She’s the dominating one in her marriage to a 7ft tall, strong ass Russian man, and you can see this because a) cafeteria scene;

She’s calling him over. When he sits down, she pulls him to her and he just lets her.

b) When that whole shit fest with Gipsy’s test run goes down;
 
Aleksis is clearly uncomfortable about standing on that catwalk, BUT HE DOESN’T MAKE ANY MOVE TO LEAVE UNTIL SASHA STARTS MOVING. Sasha stares that fucking plasma gun down and she is pissed that she even has to move, because she isn’t scared of it.

c) WHEN WE FIRST MEET THEM, GUESS WHO’S WALKING IN FRONT;

IT’S SASHA.

And d) She is Pilot 1 of Cherno;
 
Aleksis is Pilot 2. Sasha is the one that calls out the orders, she talks to LOCCENT the most, she tells Aleksis what to do in Cherno, and he LISTENS TO HER. 

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO SEE A BIG TALL MAN LISTEN TO HIS WIFE LIKE THIS? IT’S AMAZING. BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENS. THERE’S A STRONG MAN ON SCREEN? HE’S THE LEADER, CLEARLY. NOT IN PACIFIC RIM. BOTH MAKO AND SASHA KICKED THAT STEREOTYPE IN THE FUCKING FACE, THEY KICKED ASS, AND LOOKED GOOD DOING IT.

And when Cherno does go down, Sasha isn’t screaming in fear of death, she’s screaming because she can’t take the kaiju down with her. And that’s badass as hell.

(Ps, she has 10 lines. And she’s cussing in Russian when they’re fighting.)

Beautiful.

The cosplay was great enough but the commentary made this an instant reblog.

If you’re a Dropbox user, you probably got an email in the last few days about an update to their TOS that basically puts all disputes into arbitration rather than litigation. 

If you’re like me, you probably glossed over this update because gah, legalese. 

Allow me to summarize what it means when a company wants to handle all disputes in arbitration:

No matter what they do (delete your data, privacy breach, overcharging, whatever), you don’t get to sue. Instead, THEY get to choose the arbitrator according to whatever criteria they want, and thus any dispute is decided by someone they’re paying.

Also, you can’t join a class-action suit against them. Which sounds like no big deal, but when a company takes advantage of a bunch of people all in the same small way (incorrectly assessing a service charge, for example), class action is how companies are made to clean up their act en masse, instead of waiting for thousands of people to call them up and demand their $20 back or whatever.

I love Dropbox and use/recommend it enthusiastically. But this is a company that we entrust with some of our most important data- the kind of data we need to have access to wherever we are. Family photos, portfolios, projects representing years of work, etc. And as we’ve seen with Google buying Nest, even if we trust the management team in charge of our data right now, that’s not guaranteed in the future. Founders move on to other things. Companies with great products get acquired. Business decisions get made that change the direction of the company.

The agreement we make with Dropbox is too important to be enforced only by an arbitrator of their choosing. You have 30 days from the date of notification to opt out of the arbitration clause. Do it now.

For a long time, there was a severe lack of Walt Disney Company titles on Netflix. Then slowly but surely, deals started being made and the classic animated films began popping up in my queue. I was very happy, as I'm sure others were. But today, Disney has announced their very own streaming service for a slew of titles launching with their latest hit, Frozen.

Well here's an unexpected surprise: Bill Watterson, long-retired creator of Calvin of Hobbes, was so impressed with Stripped – a new feature documentary that invites some of the biggest names in comics "to talk about the art form they love, and what happens to it as newspapers die" – that he agreed to provide the art for the film's poster.
