#I wouldn't.

[ratbastarddotfuck]

first, I said communities. plural. I'm talking about specific real communities. never said that all POC are in One Community because I'm not fuckin stupid lol.

second, I literally agree with you that the violence is just as violent regardless of who enacts it. as I have said multiple times, I agree that people of colour should also not be engaging in this behaviour. I DO leave some room for *private* venting, because everyone needs to vent, but there is a line between venting and expressing actual desire for harm.

but i also think it would be an extremely bad look for a white Australian to talk down to non-white Americans about racism and the way they are dealing with their fears of experiencing further, more extreme racism when it is something I literally do not have the life experience to discuss in that way. would this not come off extremely condescending? I wouldn't expect any POC to take me seriously as an authority on racism. because I'm not!

furthermore, I think that there is importance in specifically calling out white liberal racist violence in this instance, because it takes an extremely pathetic self-victimisation tone where they act as though they're inherently going to experience Worse effects of fascism than conservative POC, and like any violence is justified in response to their pain. the white feminists crowing in joy for racist violence against non-white misogynists because "maybe now you'll know how it feels to be a victim" is just one particularly egregious example that has been around for literal years. this is the crowd I'm trying to talk to in this post.

if you're a white person taking pleasure in the idea that Trump voters of colour are experiencing racist violence from white trumpers because "they got what's coming to them" I don't think you're anti-racist at all, I think you were just waiting for an acceptable target, and you're also fucking weird.

Bad Person Deserves Punishment For Their Sins give me a fucking break and get yourself out of the fucking catholic church. you're all prison abolitionists until you see someone you don't like.

Tone-Deaf - 2019  Explanation/Review!

So, I’m going to make a series where I review movies that I watched to learn more about different concepts. This one was just, irritiating more than a slow movie. 

(There can be grammar mistakes, since I am writing this from an old keyboard, very old, mind you, but it still works thanks to me.)

Warnings: Dead humans, Spoilers, suicide, sexual themes, a karen main character, and a onesie wearing killer who hates the younger generation, and older generation, stalking, mentions of gore, drug use.

Explanation:

So, for short, our main character is a young woman that lost his father by suicide, she loves to play piano but she sucks, but people say nice things to her even if it sounds bad. On the other hand, we have our second main character Harvey, he lost his wife by suicide, and his wife played piano as well. Olive (our main character.) decides to broke up with her boyfriend, then her annoying boss fires her. All of these happens very quickly, and she finds herself talking about it to her best friend, Lenore, which she says that she should treat herself and rent a house, stay there, off the phone, off the men, and even without wanting to, Olive listens.

Harvey, stays with his very old house keeper, Agnes. She clearly cares for Harvey, and his son thinks that he has dementia. (Which sounds reasonable considering that he is very old but without medical knowledge, no one can be sure.) He totally hates millennials, and he founds himself lost after everything he had done in his life. He wants things to change, so he decides to kill people, saying that he done everything but never killed anybody. Olive being his target, Agnes becomes his target as well, and the killing spree starts when Olive comes to the house and give alot of money to Harvey. Olive, geniuenly hates it, hates the house, get’s scared by Agnes, doesn’t trust Harvey, house being too big to get lost on, everything is boring to her. She still uses her phone as to get dates again, but all of them are old man that Olive isn’t interested in, expect one person, so she chooses that.

Harvey, in a rage, ties Agnes down after talking about his true feelings a little bit, and Agnes tries to reason with him by talking to him, that doesn’t work on him, of course.  Through out the film, you see both characters struggle. Olive trying to connect to her mother, by talking about piano’s and her father, while Harvey finds himself all alone after killing Agnes, (Stabbing her to be exact.)  having constant nightmares about two gender natural humans, sometimes three, male babies appear, it’s all chaos and misery for him. Both of them shows their struggle by pushing people out, or trying to connect to other things, hating and sarcasm on top of non-stop explanation as to why they feel this way mostly giving not much information about it. After killing Agnes, Harvey decides to kill Olive too, but he fails at it, putting a spider in her contact lenses case, then mostly stalking her.  He saves her by a local serial killer who kidnapped a girl, which was the date that she had choosen before. Thanks to him stalking her in a bar, he learned the guy is probably the killer, giving that he tried to drug her while Olive left for the bathroom. Harvey, of course, observes. After Olive leaves the guy at the bar, phone number exchanged, the guy walks out too. Harvey follows him. Second victim being the local killer, he founds the missing girl in the bathroom, eyes and mouth sewed, hands tied, so he kills her too out of mercy. The movie slowly goes to the end while Olive is heavly injured thanks to Harvey’s traps, he tries to explain to her that millennials suck, how his wife suicided, how she played the piano beautifully, while Olive gives the cold shoulder, still not wanting to die, in Harvey’s dead wife’s dress. He wants her to play the piano, which she does, and she plays so bad that Harvey screams her to stop, hitting the piano until it gets broken by him.  Olive never heard of someone saying that she played the piano bad, expect on a asit trip where her father mentions how she plays the piano horribly. She roasts Harvey, taking her time until her mother comes to save her. Mother comes, shoots Harvey while he’s in is onesies, accidently shoots Olive, and the movie ends with her having fun on a grass where she’s hanging out with her mother. Oh, Harvey, by the way, has a son, that is gay, and you see him several times through out the movie, scaring Olive accidently or her mother. (This character becomes important later on.) Harvey, kills  five people, there are kills that I didn’t mention for the sake of keeping this short. 

Review: 

You can’t connect with Olive at all, being that she’s a very cold character that mostly doesn’t care, either replies with sarcasm or something that probably would flip anyone out. She’s rude, she has short temper, she’s struggling, but you slowly end of the line accept her as she is, maybe the movie itself trying to push you into that idea, but mostly it let’s you choose which side you’re on. The actress (Amanda Crew) played her beautifully, showing how much of a character that can annoy, at the same time make you feel bad.  Her best friend is that one best friend, who thinks that you are always low on sugar and try to coat it with, “Oh you need to drink/travel/do activities that you don’t want to do!” and that’s totally fine. You like the way she roasts time to time, but other than that, empty character with plot filling. Agnes, the house keeper. The movie doesn’t talk much about her, not giving much information as well as who she is, but the movie doesn’t give you any chance to connect to her, getting killed off by Harvey because she pushed his limits by her words. I’m shocked that she was killed off like she didn’t matter at all, aren’t you a house keeper? Shouldn’t you be important at all? What a loss. Olive’s mother is a very questionable character to me. She doesn’t empathy with her daughter at all, lying to her about liking her piano, and not giving a thing about anyones buisness. Didn’t thought that she would be important but she is. (What a suprise.) Untill the end, I didn’t think much of her, but after the ending I thought that Olive finally got the connection she wanted by her mother, a good ending if you can call that... Harvey, is our second main character, played by Robert Patrick. (Don’t look at me I see you there.) Harvey, struggles the same as Olive, but he approaches it diffrently- He doesn’t run away or find another thing to keep him on his feet like Olive did, but he chooses to kill people by his own choice. You don’t connect to him, but to me, I was at lost when I saw the ending, it was too weird, too of for me, but the whole time he was in a onesie, I couldn’t stop myself but chuckle. Sorry movie, I couldn’t take it that seriously when I saw Robert in a onesie going on a killing spree. He struggles because of his dead wife, he struggles because his son is gay, and he hates millennials because they don’t work hard for things like he did in his generation. He explains this alot through out the movie, I even lost some of my liquid while listening to him, I don’t understand generation seperation, sorry not sorry. When Harvey dies, a screen comes to his son who holds a man’s hand, his boyfriend I assumed, and they walk away with sad mourningfull faces. He doesn’t give much as the other characters didn’t, but he was a important character thanks to Harvey’s weird dreams. I couldn’t realise untill I saw that part, that, how Harvey only wanted a son that loved females, atleast the movie indicated that or my programing doesn’t function properly, or how he couldn’t bare a child like himself, after all, he hated millennials, and no one tried to help him other than Agnes. This movie got 4,0 from IMDB, which isn’t shocking to me. You cannot connect with characters, it has brutal kills so that’s a point, the plot is weird, horror parts were done beautifully, make up and clothing department is on the point, and cars. I don’t need to say more, just cars. My number would be the same as IMDB, it doesn’t need more or less. Snack movie to watch, so you can kill your time. Thanks for reading my messy review, I didn’t thought I would be doing a review... But here we are.

One of the Swedes killed his own brother...under Allison's control. If such a thing happened to you, do you think you would be able to recover?

No.

QUICK REMINDER

In the US: threatening government officials is a felony under federal law (the president in particular is protected under 18 U.S.C. § 871). Even memes.

be careful with your jokes if they spill over to active officials.

Transcript of text from the page of TBOB under the cut

Text reads: "Unfased, F has been making hot cocoa and welding rivets while playing christmas songs on the radio. (These songs make no sense. Why did Rudolph forgive his tormentors for their mockery of his facial deformity? He should have used his red-hot nose to burn his oppressor's workshop to the ground. A lesson to all!)"

Dunno how to put it properly into words but lately I find myself thinking more about that particular innocence of fairy tales, for lack of better word. Where a traveller in the middle of a field comes across an old woman with a scythe who is very clearly Death, but he treats her as any other auntie from the village. Or meeting a strange green-skinned man by the lake and sharing your loaf of bread with him when he asks because even though he's clearly not human, your mother's last words before you left home were to be kind to everyone. Where the old man in the forest rewards you for your help with nothing but a dove feather, and when you accept even such a seemingly useless reward with gratitude, on your way home you learn that it's turned to solid gold. Where supernatural beings never harm a person directly and every action against humans is a test of character, and every supernatural punishment is the result of a person bringing on their own demise through their own actions they could have avoided had they changed their ways. Where the hero wins for no other reason than that they were a good person. I don't have the braincells to describe this better right now but I wish modern fairy tales did this more instead of trying to be fantasy action movies.

we'll do fine.

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?
