I don’t, and will never talk politics, not on this blog. Not here. EVER.
However, net neutrality is fucking important. Please get informed about what it is, why its so important and be prepared to make some fucking loud noise, my friends.
today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it won’t just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.
this is what buying a plan without net neutrality looks like there:
you have to pay MORE for features you’re already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.
democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.
hey guys, please reblog this version and don’t forget to call!!! if you are nervous about calling, you can use resistbot to send faxes to your reps and thestance appto pre-record your message so you won’t have to speak to anyone. (available in both google play and app store)
Reblogging this for the addition of Resistbot and Stance. I just tried out Resistbot, and it makes things SUPER easy – it adds the “dear (name of congressperson)” and “sincerely (your name)” automatically, so you just need to say what you want to say.
On a rewatch of Expiration Date, something caught my eye. In the beginning, he wakes Scout to take the call. It was a video call, no hands required and noone else was on the road. It was a call he could’ve taken, or made Soldier
take. It stands to reason that if Heavy could believe that Spy was
Scout’s father, he’d figure out something as obvious as Scout liking
Miss Pauling.
Why
would he? Well, Scout is a lot less of an asshole when Miss Pauling
is around. Spy probably isn’t the only one who’s been defaced with
Scout’s drawings.
But,
I think even deeper, if you look at scenes in MVM trailer, or Heavy
with his family, or his lines with Medic, you’ll see a pattern.
Heavy
is deeply loyal, and far more shrewd that most people assume he is. He knows more
about the actual business than any of the other mercenaries. Everything from hiding his family from his employers back in Meet The Director, and refusing to open up to the director, which turned out to be a trap, to suspecting Miss Pauling’s intentions before any other mercenary, and doing everything he can to keep them secret. He is a roaring menace on the battlefield, but it is outside of the battlefield where he shows the true depth of his leadership and intelligence.
Being a defense class doesn’t just mean capping a point. He
takes care of his team, and he takes care of his family. Whether it
means trailing Miss Pauling and Soldier on a doomed mission to intercept
Gray Mann’s base, or nudging Scout, a teammate Heavy doesn’t even always get
along with that well in the right direction be it his possible family, or love. He watches over his comrades, protecting and guiding them, even at the cost of his own wants and needs, or his own glory.
