Article 13 will come. There will be upload filters. There’s no way for the parliament to stop it now. You have the European Council and the European Parliament. Both discuss now about the new copyright, but they can only change stuff, where they both disagree. Both approved of Article 13 though, so they can’t change that any longer.
Don’t message your MP any longer. They can’t do anything now. Message your government. The European governments are the only ones, who can stop it now.
The new law is clearly intended for Facebook and Google. It only applies to companies with more than 50 employees. And it clearly applies to platforms, not private persons. For us this means if Tumblr has more than 50 employees, we’re fucked. If not it wouldn’t apply.
The MPs that are for the law really think that upload filter don’t need to happen, because they didn’t say they have to. They think there’s another technical solution that can only filter the stuff that is copyrighted, but will still allow stuff that is clearly a meme or art or satire based on it. (Hint. There isn’t and there can’t be.)
The German MPs that voted for it, did so, because the law entails good laws for small artists that sell their copyright, among other things. Article 14-16 allows them to re-negotiate if the new copyright holder basically duped them. For example a writer writes something that becomes a bestseller, then they can re-negotiate to get more. Or a company doesn’t use the copyright, so the original artists doesn’t get anything, then they can claim their copyright back.
If the law happens you can’t cite anything any longer. Nothing. Writing headlines from newsarticles will be forbidden in the worst case.
Google uses the headlines for their search and you can see those and a few summarising words. Based on that you decide if you click a link (and give money to the newssite/publishers) or not. Publishers want to get paid for that from google/facebook. He thinks that is bollocks, because if you go to a news agent you can read the headlines and decide if you want to buy or not. Same should apply to the internet, but now they make you pay to read the headlines. The publishers try to get money for stuff that they never got money for.
He thinks there should be some fair use and that the law simply isn’t fit in the way it was drafted.
What happens now: European council and European parliament negotiate their different positions (as they agree on article 13, they don’t negotiate that at all.) By the end of the year/early next year they’ll probably have a combined position. Then the parliament will vote again if they agree with the changes made. (From his position they will definitely do so. It’s only a technicality.) Then (and that’s the only point where we still might have influence) all 27 member states have to agree on it. So that’s why you have to message your national government!
THIS POST WOULDN’T BE POSSIBLE WITH THE NEW COPYRIGHT LAW AS I SUMMARISE COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL AND SHARE THE CONTENT ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING PAID THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER.
While this is obviously a worst-case scenario, regardless of where you are in the world,PLEASE reblog for maximum awareness. If it happens in Europe, you can bet your ass it will be used to set a precedent for other countries.
Surprised loki didnt flinch at all with all that lightning coursing around him
he grew up with that guy, he’s used to it
Loki didn’t even transform, his suit was an illusion and he just took it off.
Yeah, Loki just dispelled the illusion, but Thor actually had to change clothes, so he needed the lightning blast to cover the ThunderPenis.
I’m convinced Loki is perma-nude and EVERY outfit you see is an illusion. Why deal with the discomfort of chafing pleather pants when you can just trick people into thinking you’re wearing clothes?
Also, “ThunderPenis” nearly killed me.
A teenage boy sitting behind me when I first saw this movie narrated the transformation with “BAM! Now we sexy!” and I hear it in my head every. single. time.
“Bam! Now we sexy” is my new headcanon for this scene. 😂
Gen Z culture is making fun of your friends for using dumb phrases like “that’s Gucci” unironically, then accidentally using it unironically in your vocab.
He looks like he died and was left in the desert to rot, covered over with dirt for a week, then dug up, reanimated and made a political candidate.
If you look at her eyes closely you can see all the ways she’s imagining killing him
hey everyone this scumbag is jair bolsonaro and hes currently leading the race for presidency in brazil.
he is incredibly racist, homophobic and sexist, having multiple tines stated disgusting things like the ones said above
he also is a supporter of the military dictatorship that we were under for a few decades
there is a real chance he might win the elections in a month and i am dreading the future bc of this result
@my fellow brazilians in this website #EleNão
por favor, ele não
Holy shit, I hope Brazil doesn’t elect him. Take it from someone living in deep trump territory, that kind of “leader” rots your culture from the inside out.
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.
Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining
This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.
Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes
Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”
Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”
When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?
And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
