What does laugh rule mean? Sometimes i see that phrase in your tags

busket:

the laugh rule is that if you come across a post that actually makes you laugh, you have to reblog it and tag it as laugh rule. it can be as much as a simple little chuckle or something that makes your stomach hurt and makes you cry from laughing. any amount of actual laughter and you gotta reblog it

Hot take but

U can be asexual and like sex. Literally u dont have to experience sexual attraction to like the sensation or closeness it brings u and ur partner

This is exactly how I feel as a sex positive ace / gray ace.

If my partner feels like it, sex is a nice way to bond and it usually feels good. But I don’t have any particular innate drive or desire for it and would be just as content cuddling on the couch watching a movie. (Sometimes more content.) The closeness is what’s appealing.

The future is here today: you can’t play Bach on Youtube because Sony says they own his compositions

James Rhodes, a pianist, performed a Bach composition for his Youtube channel, but it didn’t stay up – Youtube’s Content ID system pulled it down and accused him of copyright infringement
because Sony Music Global had claimed that they owned 47 seconds’ worth
of his personal performance of a song whose composer has been dead for
300 years.

This is a glimpse of the near future. In one week, the European Parliament will vote on a proposal to force all online services to implement Content ID-style censorship, but not just for videos – for audio, text, stills, code, everything.

Just last week, German music professor Ulrich Kaiser posted his research
on automated censorship of classical music, in which he found that it
was nearly impossible to post anything by composers like Bartok,
Schubert, Puccini and Wagner, because companies large and small have
fraudulently laid claim to their whole catalogs.

Europeans have one week to contact their MEPs to head off this catastrophe.

Stop what you’re doing and contact two friends in the EU right now and send them to Save Your Internet – before it’s too late.

WHAT

NO

FUCK THIS

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Does anyone know how or if Americans can help?

I think it could potentially do more harm than good if Americans try to contact the MEPs – but do spread awareness about this issue!

All hope is not gone (yet), even though it certainly seems like it. There are several alternatives to the copyright reform MEPs will choose from Wednesday next week. What fellow Europeans need to do right now is to

Call your MEP and urge them to choose one of the options that avoids upload filters. 

please help save one of my biggest passions
