THe Battle for Net Neutrality
Posted 11 years agoMan, I bet you're sick of hearing about this, huh? Not on little hobby sites like this, but on the internet at large. All the big sites like Google and Tumblr and Wikipedia. You've probably seen a ton of your friends on Facebook and Twitter posting about it. I bet you'd love to never hear the words "Net Neutrality" ever again at this point.
Well, you might have gotten your wish. Because we're as close to a closed, gatekeeper-controlled, corporately-run internet as we have ever been. And sites like the one you're reading this on right now have the most to lose.
Youtube and Google and the like will probably be fine. They've got the money to pay off the ISPs. They may even be able to avoid getting locked into exclusivity deals, which would be the deathblow for the internet right then and there. But think about all of your favorite little niche hobby sites, like this one. Think about an internet where absolutely none of them are accessible, because none of them can afford to pay the extortion which Time Warner, Comcast, AT&T, and the other handful of ISPs are poised to be able to collect.
This is the reality we're facing in the next few months.
Here are the links for how we can help fight it:
This is a direct letter to the FCC
1) Click http://www.fcc.gov/comments
2) Scroll to 14-28 Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet (direct link http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=qsp2r Make sure 14-28 is in the Proceeding Number)
3) Fill out the form and comment "I want Internet service providers classified as common carriers"
4) Done

If you prefer your info in (humorous) video form, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjOxNiHUsZw
And if you think this is not a big deal, or that people are making too much out of it, or that it will magically solve itself without doing anything: I'm afraid you're wrong. If anything, we might be UNDERSTATING the importance of this issue. Please, if you have any stake in the internet at all, do something to help protect it. Or else we all lose.
Thank you.

Back... from the hospital
Posted 11 years agoOkay. The other Friday, about a week back, I went to Geek Kon, expecting to have a full weekend of geeky shopping. But throughout that gay, my leg wasaching. It was also aching for a while before that, but I thought It was relatively minor. I was wrong.
Come saturday morning, following a fun concert, I had my mom check out my leg and we had to call the hospital. I had a very bad infection. And I had to spend a week in the hospital to deal with that infection. Some bloodwork also revealed that I have diabetes. It was a painful double whammy.
Needless to say, I missed the rest of the con and had to spend a full week under medical care to deal with the infection, and I have to learn how to manage my newfound diabetes. Even now, while I am home, I must come in every morning for an IV and dressing of the tissue treated in surgery.
Once all that eventually ends (and even during this), I will need to make a number of changes for my health. Here's hoping I can do all that.

1-10: Not a Furry Sue
Your character is most likely normal. They may have a few oddities or minor extremes, but not enough to add up to anything too crazy.
11-20: Maybe a little Furry Sue
Your character could be kind of a Furry Sue, but if they don't have any extremes, they could just be interesting. This is the gray area of Furry Sue-dom.
21-30: Strongly Furry Sue
You might want to dial your character down a bit. While they may not necessarily be ridiculous, they've clearly had too many qualities added on, and it could be a sign of bad taste or a desire for them to be a little too special or "extreme".
30+: Definitely Furry Sue
Your character is a Furry Sue. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

Skipper Learns A Lesson (Educational anti-racist film)
Posted 11 years agohttps://archive.org/details/skipper.....earns_a_lesson
I found this public domain film from the 1950s (1952 to 1953) that was intended to teach kids about how wrong it is to be racist. And it teaches that through dogs. Thought you might like it.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Funny how that works.
Posted 12 years agoJust thought I would share two videos about two little-spoken-of problems regarding sexuality.
Problem 1: Slut Shaming.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy11.....08&index=3
Problem 2: Prude Shaming. (Trugger warning. The subjects of sexuality and even rape come up here)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VQkIHTamos
I would like to propose, in the interests of internet discussions regarding the subject of sex, a variation of Godwin's Law.
Godwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." -- Mike Godwin
The PS Addenda: "As any discussion of sex and sexuality continues, the probability of someone being called a slut, skank, whore or similar insult approaches one. As does the probability of prude, frigid or similar insults. The mention of one is a near guarantee that the other will follow." -- Adam Leisemann
Why? Well, let's call it an observation. How one treats their sexuality is a subject that tends to get treated in a manner similar to nazis. That is, it's an insult used to make your opponent look bad for simply not agreeing with you.
WARNING: The following Nazi examples are deliberately silly for the sake of showing off versatility. As are some of the prude/slut shaming examples.
But where Nazis can be universally applied, Prude and Slut are more limited, generally to the matter of sex and sexuality. Below are some examples:
Nazi Example: "You know who else wasn't a fan of Justin Beiber? Adolf Hitler!"
Nazi Example 2: "These guys keep calling me at inconvenient times. We should hold them on trial for the actions, like we did the nazis."
Nazi Example 3: "You know who else had great fashion sense? The Nazis. They son't call that trope 'Putting On The Reich' for nothing!"
Nezi example 4: "Your socialist political stance is the exact same as the nazis, Obama!"
Prude Shaming Example: "You mean you're only interested in sleeping with just one guy, and you want to make sure he's the right one? Dude, you're such a prude! Here, as your straight best friend, let me see if I can hook you up with a dozen or so. You'll thank me later."
Slut Shaming example: "Of course, only a dirty whore like you would go out and have a date with two potential lovers for comparison's sake."
Prude Shaming example 2: "Your girlfriend won't sleep with you? She's a frigid bitch!"
Slut shaming example 2: "Only a skank would dress like that."
Prude Shaming example 3: (This is pretty much the gist of something that happened months ago in real life.) "You acknowledge that in real life, sensible people don't just throw their clothes off for anyone they meet? You're a stuck-up prude!"
Slut shaming example 3: "You believe in polyamory? Fuck off, whore!"
I think you guys see where this is going. And frankly, I think as far as shaming goes, we all need to stop it if we are to begin dealing with sex maturely and intelligently. And we need to stop it both ways.

This is just an interesting article on self defense that I think everyone should look into. Not just women, but everyone who lives in a bad part of town or otherwise has to deal with dangerous people.

One of those talks.
Posted 12 years agoI was talking with a friend today who shall remain anonymous, and this just came up.
[1:15:42 PM] Adam Leisemann: Sometimes, I watch videos of villain songs on Yooutube. And I think I found what has got the be the wierdest one to appear in a children's film. Not for the lyrics, which I kinda think are a bit "meh," but because of the visuals from the film itself.
[1:15:58 PM] X: Oh?>
[1:22:11 PM] Adam Leisemann: Scar's "Be Prepared" had allusions to the nazis. This one has the closest you can get to Nazis as you can possibly get in a children's movie. And I can't think of any other song that has the Ku Klux Klan making appearances either (in a children's film). Now imagine the Nazis and Klansmen on roller skates doing a dance like the Macarena. Now imagine that the song itself is being sung by a snake with hips as wide as her cobra hood (and that's a wide hood). And a lantern-jawed (or maybe Squash-jawed, he has a VERY wide jaw in proportiion to the rest of his face), fanged man who might be Spanish (his name, according to TVTropes, is El Supremo) who seems to have hints of a crush on her.
[1:22:44 PM] Adam Leisemann: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nh5uoZNCiU This is the video for the siong. Straight from the kids' film.
[1:27:19 PM] Adam Leisemann: I think my best summary for this is four words long: "I Shit You Not."
[1:27:26 PM] X: Jeez
[1:32:51 PM] Adam Leisemann: Oh, and the cherry on top of thisd wierd sundae; the singer is Grace Jones. At risk of sounding racist (but, I am talking about racist organizations here, so it might not be that racist anyways), you'd never expect the Nazis and the Klan to be lead by a black woman. :P
[1:38:36 PM] X: X giggles
[1:45:30 PM] Adam Leisemann: Not to mention that the title sounds like it could be a Pro Wrestling promotion. "Watch on Pay Per View the Evil Grappler's Organizations' Annual EGO Evilmania 2013! This is NOT a lucky year for the heroes! Tremble in Terror as the Titanic Templat bodyslams the Klan King! Despair as Adolf Hitler battles Satan for a chance at the Championship Belt! And WHO will be the one to take on ther mysterious Master Muscle of Evil himself, The Overlord? Evil! Evil! Evil! Evilmania 2013! Whoever wins, Good will Lose! Watch it on Pay Per View!"

Posted 12 years agoWhy Psychopomps Make Lousy Super Heroes:
Psychopomp: a conductor of souls to the afterworld
The scenario:
Bystander: Oh my god! The orphanage is on fire! Somebody, please help!
Reaperman: There's No Need to fear! The Reaperman is here!
(One heroic rescue of dozens of children later)
Bystander: Thank you, Reaperman for rescuing all those children!
Reaperman: All in a day's work, Citizen.
Another Bystander: Wait a minute, all these kids are dead!
Reaperman: Uh, Look! Behind you all! An Obvious distraction! (He flees!)
An Acronym and possible angle for any superhero authors interested
Imagine a superhero comic book universe. Now, there are normallly more villains than heroes. Natureally, you can't have the heroes be everywhere unless they have really good duplication powers. So, who picks up the slack? Police! Specifically, police that are like a mix of Batman and the SWAT team. The acronym? Super Human Emergency Police Specialists, or SHEPS.

Imagine a superhero comic book universe. Now, there are normallly more villains than heroes. Natureally, you can't have the heroes be everywhere unless they have really good duplication powers. So, who picks up the slack? Police! Specifically, police that are like a mix of Batman and the SWAT team. The acronym? Super Human Emergency Police Specialists, or SHEPS.

Because I need to put up a new Journal
Posted 12 years agoNo. This has nothing to do with "Fat Bunny Week." I have nothing to say about it.
What I do have to say, however, is that I hope you've all had a good summer and please keep enjoying life as best as you can.

Good news on DOMA and Proposition 8
Posted 12 years agoAccording to the Supreme Court: DOMA is unconstitutional. Marriage is no longer defined as exclusively one man and one woman.
Proposition 8 has been denied by the Supreme court. The bozos behind it do not have a leg to stand on, which means it is going back to a lower court which already claimed it was unconstitutional. However, this still means that they can try again to get it passed once they have grounds to claim it's constitutional, which is looking unlikely thanks to rulings on DOMA.

Bullying (Taken from Sabrina Taur)
Posted 12 years agoHere's a Fact:
The Girl You Just Called Fat, She Is Overdosing With Diet Pills.
The Girl You Just Called Ugly, She Spent Hours Putting Makeup So Someone Will Like Her.
The Boy You Just Tripped, He Is Abused Enough At Home.
The Man With The Ugly Scars, He Fought For Our Country.
The Boy You Made Fun Of For Crying, His Mother Is Dying
Repost This If You Are Against Bullying.
I Bet 95% Of You Won't Repost This But Those With Heart And Backbone Will...

Table Talk Tumblr
Posted 12 years agohttp://adamleisemann.tumblr.com/
I finally caved in and got a once in a while Tumblr blog up. The primary subject matter is tabletop gaming. My views, my perspectives, and maybe an occasional review of a game I like or dislike enough to talk about.
If you're interested in hearing a hopeful game designer's views on tabletop gaming, please follow. If not, well, keep calm and carry on. ^.^

Caution: Hacks afoot
Posted 12 years ago"Rumor has it there is hacker on FA, hacking people and blocking our friends to make them block us. You'll then be banned from FA.
Write the same warning in your journal to protect not only yourself but everyone! Here's another warning: If I'm being a jerk, saying stuff like "Shut up", "Get lost" or "I don't want to see you on my homepage anymore", (or anything negative really) that's not really me. That's the hacker.
Write all of this down in your journal too!
Please do this, it's for the safety of everyone!
Forward this message before someone gets hacked!"

What to do when:
"OMG I AM TIRED OF IRON ARTISTS/YCH/JOURNALS PIMPING RAFFLES/PONIES/ETC THEY MAKE ME SO UPSET RAWRRRRRRRR"

2. Don't click the submission.
3. If you didn't listen to step 2, hit the back button
4. Remove from submissions
5. Seek medical attention for the large amount of butthurt you are experiencing, it could be fatal.
"STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!! I AM THE PRICE POLICE AND I SAY THAT IS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO BE SPENDING ON ART. YOUR ART ISNT WORTH THAT MUCH RADA RADA RADA!!"
1. Pull your head out of your bumhole
2. If you can do better, do it yourself
3. If you cant do better go to art school and get a 4 year degree in Art or teach yourself
4. Charge the prices that are way below art industry standard an try to survive off of it.
5. If you have failed miserably at all of the above or are not willing to attempt them, please stfu. No one wants to hear your shit and you're rude as hell.
6. Their money, not yours, get over it.
"OMG SOMEONE IS SAYING MEAN THINGS ABOUT ME AND IS LEAVING NASTY COMMENTS EVERYWHERE BOOHOO."
1. Ignore them and delete their comments.
2. If 1 doesn't work, block them
3. If for some reason they are bleeding from their anuses from the copious amounts of butthurt and are still contacting you despite your blocking them (it usually doesnt get this far) then report them to the slow ass FA admins.
4. If everything fails, grow a pair, hunt them down at a con, and punch that fucker in the groin.
I hope this shall solve all of your life problems furries.

A furry film review, defending furries, by a non-furry? ^.^
Posted 12 years agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?featur.....NAnPs&NR=1
A review of Animalympics, with the added benefit of providing an eloquent defense of the furry fandom (and also a defense of making furries sexy in design) by a guy who isn't even in the fandom as far as I am aware. And that along gives this review a gold medal.

Just post a reference, mention whether or not you want the character's genitals showing and tell other folks about it. That is all.
