Why is my movie I’m illegally watching online buffering so much? This is not what I didn’t pay for.

In the law, there's this idea called the "last clear chance" doctrine.

If you are in an accident, and you had the last clear chance to avoid the accident, then you are, at least in some portion, responsible for the accident.

For instance, if you are driving and a car pulls out in front of you, and you could've slammed on the brake but do not, you're responsible for that, even if the turn the other car made was illegal. Moreover, you might be held partially responsible for the other person's injuries, depending on how things work in your location.

This is even true if you can merely mitigate the damage. If you have a chance to limit the damage -- again, let's say you don't brake and the result is a collision at 40MPH instead of 10MPH -- the additional damage you cause could be considered your fault.

To me, this seems very applicable to voting.

The two parties in the US are going to put a couple of candidates up in the next few months. Both of them might be dangerous. But in the end, everyone who can vote is going to have one last, clear chance to avoid, or at least mitigate, damage.

It sucks that both parties are out there driving like maniacs.

But the fact of the matter is, they've put us in this position. And if you don't put on the brakes -- that is, at least mitigate damage -- you are responsible for the additional damage caused.

In the national elections, a choice not to vote for Biden is a choice not to brake when some jerk pulls into your lane. And if there's an accident and a lot of damage -- to voting rights in general, to reproductive rights, to the health and safety and life of trans and other queer people, to education, to the environment -- then you are responsible for not attempting mitigation.

You have the last clear chance to minimize danger and damage. And while you can yell until you're blue in the face that the Democratic party put you in that position in the first place by not running another candidate, you are still responsible even if you try to abdicate that responsibility.

@staff @humans @support @photomatt @cyle @zingring

why have i not heard anything back in over 2 months about a report i filed regarding a harrassment and stalking campaign against me for the entirety of the last year?

why, the first time i tried to submit a report about this, did i just get an email back saying "oh sorry, wrong email, go here instead :)" within a day? how come thats faster, but not this?

how come, in the time its taken to reply to me about the stalking and harrassment, have you deleted my main account @predstrogen even when you have stated before that it is not breaking terms of service after it was flagged due to the same reports that got me banned?

how come this has happened before in summer, when your websites system was flagging anything involving trans women as explicit, including my own selfies and transition timeline? especially when several known staff users have commented about this exact situation, i recall people even mentioning me specifically! [1 - 2 - 3]

and on top of all that, ive been seeing a massive uptick in right wing users openly harrassing me, even going as far as to admit theyre reporting me and making up lies about me as a trans woman. so many people have told me theyre recieving anonymous asks slandering me. is your site going to do anything about that? [1 2 3]

or is your site going to ban me again on here, and delete every single thing ive uploaded saying it "breaks TOS". even my transition timeline, my fucking face and identity. like you did already

am i ever going to see anything get better? all three of my past accounts, @madhopz, @sadhopz, and now @predstrogen have been deactivated after a year. its a pattern, and you havent listened to any requests for help against this harrassment

what am i, and everyone else this happens to, going to get to fix this?

if youre seeing, please reblog this. this blog might not be around too long either, i want it known that this happened again so i dont get ignored again. i have a paper trail, evidence and defence for everything

Wait no hang on.

Avak's level themes from Bionicle Heroes (PC/Console) use exclusively rock and orchestral sounds (as opposed to the rest of the game, which combines them with "world music" I don't know the actual term for the style used and electronic elements), with the former becoming more prominent as you progress, leading up to the boss level which has a full-on metal track playing.

I literally just realised that it's probably because the level's theme is a castle (represented by the orchestral stuff) that's been turned into a factory (represented by the slowly-intensifying rock) as the machinery becomes more prominent, leading up to the vast thing that Avak fights on.

I am like ¾ awake right now.

the best thing about a fiction whose canon is so wildly inconsistent is that you can prescribe personality traits to characters based on purely non-canon events, especially non-plot-relevant stuff like a character's music taste
