It's obviously having enough of an effect for the MPAA to cry about it

I fucking love that picture. So much.

Also, the irony there is thick enough to cut with a chainsaw.

The MPAA attacking people for 'intentionally skewing facts' is my favorite part. Solid fucking gold.

The sites that are doing blackouts tomorrow are doing it to show those that haven't been paying attention to this nonsense what could happen if it passes. Aunt Martha who thinks her senator is a "handsome fellow doing good" has been wondering why everyone has been talking about soap for the past few weeks.

Ugh, 5 hours of psychiatric testing tomorrow.

Let this be a lesson to you kids, never tell the government anything they don't absolutely need to know, otherwise you'll end up having to spend $1000 on tests that you don't need and don't want to prove you're not a loony.

For my FAA physical to get my pilot's license, I stupidly marked the box that said "History of anxiety and depression." They don't care how long it's been since you've had the issues, just checking that one box got me into this shit.

I also have another 2 hours of random stuff I have to do after tomorrow as well. Such a fucking mess. I have to do it though. If I don't then I'll be permanently locked out of getting a license, which basically would end my career before it even starts.

Ryan, what's with your avatar and sig? They're nothing but black bars.

He should add a little text to his sig then. Otherwise the only people who get it are the ones who already know.
Since this signature affects old posts, I'm leaving a message here in case anyone searches for my username. This account died in early 2013. I am no longer a fundamentalist.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.
