“Real isn’t how you are made,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.’
‘Does it hurt?’ asked the Rabbit.
‘Sometimes,’ said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. ‘When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.’
‘Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,’ he asked, ‘or bit by bit?’
‘It doesn’t happen all at once,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” ― Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

John Deere infamously claimed that US copyright law prohibits any farmer modifications of their tractors,
which would enable the farmers to gain access to the soil-density data
that the tractor gathers as it plows. At present, that data is locked up
in the tractor, and farmers can only access it by buying seed from John
Deere’s partners, Monsanto.
I had no idea about this, that’s really fucked up
So it’s not just the Apples of the world that are pulling this.
John Deere doesn’t alow anyone to work on the (newer) equipment they make because they claim the software, which is proprietary, could be compromised and rivals could then steal it. Car manufacturers are trying the same thing.
Lawful good.
Self Repair Manifesto.
this is the real cyberpunk
>tfw cant maintain or manually repair your new car because you are only leasing it from the manufacturer which retains the rights to maintain it.
I don’t care if Hillary Clinton is corrupt. I don’t care if she lies, if she cheats, if she eats bowls of newborn chipmunks for breakfast.
She is literally the only thing standing in the way of a fascist dictator becoming President of the United States with a Republican majority congress that guarantees he can do anything he wants and nothing will be able to stop him.
I was and still am a Bernie supporter, and I hate a lot of things about Clinton, but none of that matters anymore. If Trump is elected, people are going to die. Women are going to die when Roe v Wade is overturned and Planned Parenthood is defunded. LGBTQ people are going to die when conversion therapy is further legalized and more bathroom bills are passed. POC are going to die as Trump rounds up Mexican immigrants, gives more power to the police, and fuels the fires of Islamaphobia. Poor people are going to die as Obamacare gets overturned and further cuts are made to welfare programs. And that’s just in this country. That’s not even taking account the all-too-likely outcomes of Trump starting new wars in the Middle East and having control of nuclear bombs that he’s said he ‘would not rule out’ using.
This is no longer even about ‘the lesser of two evils’. This is not ‘scare tactics’. This is literally life and death. Don’t fuck around and tell me you’re voting third-party or not voting at all, because you don’t have that luxury.
I am delighted that this post has gotten as many notes as it has, but as Election Day grows closer I would like to flush it out with some additional information and facts, particularly for those people who are still considering voting third party and those who still consider Clinton “just as bad” as Trump.
The official Republican platform includes banning abortion, overturning marriage equality, no background checks for purchasing guns, declaring coal “clean energy”, religion used as a guide for legislation, a border wall, and pornography declared a “public menace”.
They did this the first time perfectly and it required only one take. It is a miracle of vine-making composure, timing, and Kool-Aid Man voice genius
This actually took multiple takes, meaning they had to do this more than one time, with more than one wall, leaving a swath of destruction and man-shaped holes in walls in their wake.
I literally cannot decide which one is better.
That’s a bottle of fireball. They totally only did this once.
