A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, [it is] an obsession about female obedience.
Lois Griffin (via fawun)
Always reblog.
Understanding this concept is probably the only reason I know longer have weight issues. Instead of thinking that I should be thinner to look nicer, I’ve got it in my head that thinner=more compliant and over my dead body is that ever happening.

Verizon’s vacuous statements
Can we accept that Verizon benefits no matter how the dispute with Cogent ends? Verizon claims they’re not hampering Netflix to benefit their service, Redbox. This is epic level sophistry. The implication being they’re not purposefully doing these things to help themselves.
Cogent must pay exorbitant rates to maintain peering with Verizon, increasing the overhead to Netflix’ costs of operations. Taking money from a competitor certainly benefits Verizon. Alternately if they don’t pay these higher rates to maintain similar speeds with Redbox then Verizon gets to advertise their video service as faster and (for the moment at least) cheaper for what you get.
Verizon is using the principle of double effect to get around the nasty truth their actions benefit them in what would otherwise be an unethical, formerly illegal, way. Even their primary goal is unconscionable; they want to charge a peer more for data. The secondary goal of hampering a competitor is just the freaking icing on this shit cake.

And then there’s good ol’ America
This actually makes me so angry. The truth is right here and people see it and brush it aside. We really could make things better. But no, America apparently wants to suck forever.
You know, America, if we spent some money investing in education instead of making sure the ultra-rich were even more ultra-rich, we could *actually* be the exceptional nation that we pretend to be.
