Three of the four elements are represented in types of hockey; Air hockey (air), field hockey (earth), ice hockey (water). Fire hockey needs to be a thing.
fire hockey 100% does not need to be a thing
Yes. Yes it does.
Fire hockey already exists. Welcome to pelota purépecha, or Mayan Fireball hockey.
//This is important because it proves that The Other can hear everything Loki is saying based on some kind of telepathic connection that The Other is maintaining over the distance of whole dimensions. Which means it qualifies literally everything Loki says in Avengers Assemble to anyone else.
Netflix didn’t invent speed checks, but this site is Netflix’s.
Okay, so here’s why Netflix speedtest is so brilliant.
Most of us know about Speedtest.net, right? Well Comcast and Time Warner know about it too. They know customers use it to check to see if they’re getting what they are paying for. Comcast techs even tell customers to check their speed with Speedtest.net.
So, to make sure people think they are getting good speeds, Comcast and Time Warner prioritize traffic going to Speedtest.net. When you check your speed there it’s artificially inflated. That is NOT the speed you are getting when you browse tumblr and that is definitely not the speed you get when you watch Netflix.
Comcast and Time Warner can not artificially inflate the results by prioritizing traffic to Fast.net unless they also prioritize traffic to Netflix, and they definitely do not want to do that.
That is so fucking slimy. Good for Netflix
It’s worse, really: Speedtest is provided by a company named Ookla, who deploy the servers it uses. Companies like Comcast can pay to host those servers *on their networks*, and they do: next time you visit Speedtest.net, look for the line telling you who the server is provided by. If you use a big ISP, chances are its them.
This means the test never actually goes out over the Internet proper: it stays almost entirely within the bounds of your ISP’s network. Unless there’s an issue with your modem itself, that makes it a nearly useless metric.
Good Tools like Fast.com and DSLReports’ speed test test in multiple servers all over the Internet, and average the results. Use them.

the cable companies want you to believe they aren’t given you shit service even if they have to pay off sites made to keep you woke
funraising fees are fucked up did you know gofundme takes up to 7.9% of everything people donate you + $0.30 per donation
that means that if 10 people help you raise $1000, you’re losing $82 bucks
if youre a kid in trouble trying to raise money dont make my mistakes and use youcaring which is apparently toally free, and not gofundme
Gofundme just sucks in general. After a woman tried raising money for an abortion, they pulled her campaign and changed their terms of service so that starting a campaign for an abortion is basically against the rules, but anti-choice groups (some of which are known to be violent) are still able to use the site. source
But they let Darren Wilson have his campaign after he murdered Mike Brown
^YouCaring is great, in my experience. They can stay free because they ask everyone who donates to a cause whether they’d like to donate $1 to the website to keep it running.
if a guy is hitting on u and he is clearly the alpha in his group of guys.. go for the third in command and undermine their whole power structure
Oh god, I used this tactic so often. Because in most cases I was trying to pull dudes for my friends, rather than myself. You figure out who their leader is, go for #3 or #4 in the group, who is generally much cuter and a bit more shy. This is why he ranks high, but not too high. You go hard on this dude. You hold his hand and smile at him. You don’t even have to go further. Dude #3 is just bewildered you brushed off #1. This makes the dude at the top antsy. It causes dissent in the ranks. Your friends can now swoop in, picking from the remaining dudes as they start to scatter in the wind. They have lost all sense of self. You have secured free drinks for the rest of the night. And whatever else your genitals desire.
You get to write on a piece of paper that you wish for a politician you don’t like to get fired (so long as you don’t literally write that but mark the ballot appropriately – please don’t invalidate your vote)
Your conscience will make you feel bad if you eat at an election sausage-sizzle without voting. They’re there to feed the mouths of democracy.
If you don’t vote then your racist grandparents will elect the lizard people again and the coral reef will die
You no longer feel that nagging voice inside your head that tells you to set parliament on fire but instead have redirected that rage into productive political engagement and discourse
