Would you look at that... Diamond is Unbreakable already gets an English dub! I almost thought we had to wait for eons for that... my curiosity is directed especially to what my boy Kira will sound like.

So predictably, the FCC voted against "net neutrality" and thus automatically "against the entire internet".
If I were to say anything about this it would be a recommendation to you not to freak out about this. I swear, the same thing happened back in early 2014 and the internet did without "neutrality" for a full year, and it didn't turn into a shithole. And that's not mentioning everything before 2007... this does absolutely nothing, as even when it currently existed, it didn't fully work out as battleforthenet pretended it to be.
The only effects this vote has is the inevitable outrage of everyone who was against this repeal, and of course one of the top-trending hashtags on Twitter is "#RipInternet".
Is this for real? Most people have no idea how the internet works, but so many are still super passionate about net neutrality and convinced that without it the internet dies.
Even without taking 2014 into account (which I can't stress enough), what would ever convince you of such an infantile view?
I'm not at all convinced that most people freaking out about this have even looked up what net neutrality is... and for that matter, how the internet even functions. This issue just pisses me off. There are certainly ways the freedom on internet in countries is hampered, like anti-privacy laws or actual, genuine government-caused censorship of politically unfavorable websites, this "net neutrality" shit is not one of them.

Um yeah it's called the FCC FABRICATED them for their own defense. @White Ranger

Yep, I actually do agree, that deceased comments thing likely seems to be true. It happens with a lot of policy issues nowadays, thanks to fucking Twitter (fuck Twitter). It's not hard to fabricate something like "majority opinions" to make it feel like the real deal, but the FCC did it way too openly. I don't even know why they'd do this if they knew all this repealing thing would enrage a lot of people, it's not like those deceased people will come back to life to defend them...
I could believe them doing this, definitely. While I wouldn't outright call Ajit the satan's anus as everyone else seems to be doing, I really wonder how he's able to take the heat so... shockingly well. Like, what the hell is up with those two videos he uploaded of himself? Especially the one where he's... Santa with a Nerf Gun and a Fidget Spinner? Even as someone who despises this overhyped issue, I really wonder... what was he sniffing?

Really, @uaguilar, hell if I know more than others do. What I can definitely tell you is that the only real effects this vote will have is on the emotions of everyone involved, only to then have the issue forgotten by quite a few again. It's like the five stages of grief actually kick in one time and subtly disappear, due to barely anything having changed. That is one thing I am fairly confident in, because I followed this issue more than it seemed. Back in 2014 when it was first "repealed" (different way, but same outcome), I did believe in the same thing "everyone else" did, only to then realize after a while that absolutely none of these infantile doomsday scenarios even CLOSELY came to fruition. It simply made no sense anyway, especially ironic considering I'm the type of person who would even follow this issue in the first place.
Really, as I said before, I have no real position in this... I can believe a few of the arguments and scenarios the pro-NN side gives, but this "EVERYONE WILL BE SLOWED DOWN, ALL WILL BE CENSORED, INTERNET IS FUCKING DYING, CORPORATIONS HAVE COMPLETE AND UTTER CONTROL OF EVERYTHING EVER!!!" bullshit is just that, utter bullshit. Hell, don't take my word for it, take it from someone who's more knowledgeable on internet issues than me: http://illusionofmore.com/why-im-neutral-for-now-on-net-neutrality/

Guys, Mutahar just read my first trollpasta... and yes, it's exactly the kind of trollpasta as retarded as you think it's gonna be. Such is the charm of me, Xiristatos.
-
A trollpasta is a form of "creepypasta" which is done intentionally horribly... for laughs and whatever. And if you don't know what a creepypasta is... it's basically a term for scary stories on the internet... you know, Slenderman or Zalgo. Those kinds of things. Lately a lot of genuinely horrendous creepypastas have existed, like "Jeff the Killer" or that dump of asslard called "Clockwork: Your Time is Up" and they're often referred to as "unintentional trollpastas".
What I wrote here was one hell of an intentional one. There's an entire wikia devoted to these kinds of things, both intentional AND unintentional, check it out: http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Trollpasta_Wiki

So it turns out that Hidden Star in Four Seasons is gonna get a Steam release... on the 17th of this month to be exact.
Well, that's a first.

I, Xiristatos, will be leaving y'all tomorrow and shall come back in Friday at the latest... no, it doesn't matter at all, but I, Xiristatos, just wanted to let y'all know of my upcoming absence... you know, just in case anyone might attempt to put a comment on my profile probably thinking that "OH MI FLYINGSPAGHETIMONSTER, DID XIRISTASHOPPINGCART DIE HIMSELF TO DEATH??!"
But no one shall ever think like that, guaranteedly.
Yeah, whatever... I, Xirista- ah fuck this.

So... you know the penguin "Grape-Kun" who's obsessed with its fellow cardboard Kemono Friend?
Well, uhhh... how do I say this... he bit the dust. Yes... I, Xiristatos, probably shouldn't be the one spreading something like this (partly and mostly because I'm too much of an ass to be capable of properly doing such a thing), but I just want to let y'know... he's not with "us" (read: you) anymore. So here's a prettatiously relevantistic piction for no particularistic reasonation:

For the first time in almost 9 years after my tonsils were surgically removed, I, Xiristatos, threw up... rather brutally in fact. Why does this matter? It doesn't, screw you.
I was actually afraid of the possibility of this happening to me after such a long time, yet it came. Let's just say I... kinda freaked out while it happened.
I still went to work afterwards because that was pretty much it... vomit like hell so much that you'll look as pretty as I usually am and back to business.
With love, Xiristatos.

It is on this day, the 28th of September, in which the age of me, Xiristatos, is annually raised by one number. I refuse to consider these days "birthdays" anymore. To me they have become as uplifting as chugging down some ice tea and only realizing after a few hours that you still have a lot of it left. It's a very slight and momentary fraction of "pleasure" until you realize you still fucking hate your life and you always will.
-
I'm... Sorry to hear that.
Happy Birthday though.
-
Thank you, I still do appreciate someone coming by and wishing me well. Don't worry, nothing bad in particular happened to me, it's just this feeling that with every coming year, my life seems to become blander than ever... nothing horrible, but just... pointless. But I'll just stop here and say nothing more.

And what happened to an utter ballsack of a woman who falsely accused 15 men of raping "her"? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-41037826
