Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr

That’s what is going to happen if we let Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, go through with repealing Title II (AKA Net Neutrality).

Simply put, without Net Neutrality, Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to “bundle” websites much like cable ON TOP OF paying for internet connection. “Want access to Netflix AND Tumblr? Get the Entertainment Package! $40 a month. What about Amazon and Ebay? Add an extra $20 a month to get the Shopping Package.”

Not only will they be able to bundle websites and charge more, they will also be able to censor and block websites that they don’t agree with entirely.

THIS WILL BE THE END OF INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.

For business owners, it will be even worse. Ex: Comcast will ask Amazon to pay high fees to be available in a low-cost package, fees that websites like Poshmark or Etsy will not be able to pay. Therefore, only Fortune 500’s will be available to web users at a low cost. Say goodbye to Etsy (unless you’re willing to shell out $70 a month for the “All-Inclusive” package).

To learn about Net Neutrality, why it’s important, and/or want tools to help you fight for Net Neutrality, visit BattleForTheNet (https://www.battleforthenet.com)

There are five people deciding the future of the internet, three men (Rep) and two women (Dem). The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a NO vote to save Net Neutrality.

There are many ways you can help:

Most importantly, VOTE. This should not be something that is so clearly split between the political parties as it affects all Americans, but unfortunately it is.

PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR INTERNET!

Hey hey hey! I know it’s upsetting that nyaa.se is gone, BUT there are a lot of other ways to get anime torrents. These are the main ones I know of for raws/English-subbed anime.

HorribleSubs - CrunchyRoll/Funimation rips, softsub if from Crunchyroll

Ohys-Raws - typically the fastest raw source

Leopard-Raws - alternative raw source

With nyaa.se gone, people will be more reliant on magnet links, but if you know of another provider that used to host via nyaa.se, check if they have magnet links available! For the time being, these three do have their own magnet links/download files available. 

Feel free to reblog to add on any other resources you know!

Cartman what's the deal with "cupid me"?

Cartman: Cupid Me? Psh. That’s stupid. That doesn’t exist.

Cartman: I was the one who made Nicole and Token fall in love! I was the one who paired Tweek and Craig!

Cartman: Wait. No. That was FATE! 

Cartman: Cupid Me doesn’t exist and has nothing to do with anything! That’s dumb. Are you tripping?

Cupid Me: Eric, don’t say such things~ I love you, Eric!

Cartman: Quiet, Cupid Me, people can hear you!

Cupid Me: Eric, you’re so funny~
