I hate dreams that do shit like that that can actually happen.

One of my more common ones is that I'm driving, press the brakes but press them too late, or they don't work, and I hit another car.
I got that last night! I then had to go with the other fella and prove to him that I'd not done it intentionally by pressing some fruit juice for him.

Apparently that crackpot EU internet censorship law is being voted on again. If you live in Europe for the love of God please call your MEP to oppose it

I heard it was a false alarm that other time. I won't fall for the prank again. And the internet is already censored in Russia.

It was rejected the first time it was voted on, but they're voting on it again and conceivably might pass it this time because it's more under the radar so there's been less public outcry. Plus the crooked record companies and so forth that lobbied for it have doubled down on their lobbying.

My point still stands. The net in my country is censored. It's not like I will ever be a political activist (the only people the censorship would affect).

No, that's the thing, this proposal as written wouldn't censor things on a political basis, it would basically end fair-use protections for Intellectual Property, and therefore make things like memes, covers of songs, any photo that happens to happen a logo in the background, etc. non-viable. And it would be done by an automatic system to make sure that there was no common sense to how it was enforced.

Ahhh, I'd laugh if it happened.

Europeans would have to come to the U.K. to get memes.

We could have a Memedustry to rival the Tourist Industry.

Look, I know we all wanted Hot Wheels as a kid, but there are some childhood dreams that you shouldn't necessarily pursue as an adult.

Nope, the censorship in Russia affects not only political activists, but also regular folks, like me. Case in point: Some of the Russian internet providers had to forbid access to archive friggin' dot org, just because it apparently has an ISIS propaganda video stored on it somewhere. To say that the censorship of this caliber hurts only spooky opposition boogeymen is ignorant at best.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

I gaze into its milky depths, searching the wheat and sugar for the meanings I can never find.
It's like tea leaf divination, but with cartoon leprechauns.
There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.
