Still have PIPA and they can put it in another bill.

Don't celebrate just yet.

I just explained to my mother in gamer talk exactly why the event Rayquaza is dangerous.

She told me I'm turning into a geek. ;_;

No, both SOPA and PIPA have been dropped due to the most massive online protest in HISTORY. The one Bulbagarden participated in two days ago.

No it isnt. I read the article and nowhere does it say the bills are completely dead.

Of course it isn't over, but it was a big step. The protests brought incredible attention to the bill (and its problems) and is forcing some rethinking.

Now the next thing to do is to ensure that the bills get killed or something. (The MegaUpload takedown means that you don't need them both in the end...)

Remember, the lobbyist have payed quite a bit of money for this bill. And besides that, SOPA/PIPA is just one iteration of anti-copyright bills, there's bound to be another. That, or Lamar Smith throws SOPA into another bill, most notably an anti-child porn bill he's also sponsoring. Letting down the guard would be unwise to say the least, regardless of the status of SOPA/PIPA.


I go down to the common room and see some people watching TV. I sit down to see what they're watching. Then I heard the word "detox", and got up and walked my way.

I think I'm spending too much time on Mario Kart 7 these days. One sitting = from full to flashing red battery warning, huh?

I'm getting it next Tuesday, I've been waiting for so long.

I like your spam, Twiggy, by the way.

I wonder whether it's OK for me to post an image of the literal can of Spam. XD

I would be taller if I wasn't hunched over.

The event Rayquaza scares me. ._.
