Last year, Apple outraged independent technicians when they updated the
Iphone design to prevent third party repair, adding a “feature” that
allowed handsets to detect when their screens had been swapped (even
when they’d been swapped for an original, Apple-manufactured screen) and
refuse to function until they got an official Apple unlock code.

Now, this system has come to the MacBook Pros and Imac Pros, thanks to
the “T2 security chip” which will render systems nonfunctional after
replacing the keyboard, screen, case, or other components, until the a
proprietary Apple “configuration tool” is used to unlock the system.

Apple does not tell its customers that the computers it sells are
designed to punish them for opting to get their property repaired by
independent technicians; the details of the T2 came from a leaked
service manual.

Apple was forced to push a patch to fix screen repair locks on phones in April, after public outcry. It’s exorbitant bullshit that they’re pulling this again 6 months later, but enough public pressure should make them fold.

Top 10 reasons why netflix should make an original series based on “Percy Jackson”

1. the 2 movies “based” on the books that were preciously released did NO justice to the books at all. couldve been 10X better !!!!!!
2. we’ve all seen how well the musical is going and thats basically just people who’ve read the books. IMAGINE how well a netflix original would do !!!!
3. we’d get to see percabeth’s relationship really unfold ON SCREEN with actors that COMPTELY RESEMBLE THEM & are THEIR AGE. and obviously its PERCABETH. “seaweed brain”, “wise girl”
4. 5 books, 5 seasons. do you see how PERFECT that would be????? 10 episodes a season, each 45 minutes long (relatively).
5. if netflix got the rights to the books they would probably get the rights to ALL THE BOOKS. THATS MEANS: HOA (5 MORE seasons OF PERCY, ANNABETH, & GROVER. PLUS JACON, PIPER, HAZEL, FRANK, NICO & LEO), Trials of Apollo, Magnus Chase, AND The Kane Chronicles as well (a possiblity)
6. the AESTHETIC of this tv series would be PERFECT. Netflix does an excellent job at taking the story and cinematically making it look pleasing and beautiful to the ones who’ve read the books. (Examples: “To All The Boy’s I’ve Loved Before”, “A Series Of Unfortunite Events”) there are so many amazing options on how to make this series beautiful, THE MONSTERS for instance can you I M A G I N E.
7. the HUMOR. everyone who’s read the pjo novels knows that theres SO MANY funny moments, rick is just a genius when it comes to that. i just know that if this were to happen, the humor would be amazing.
8. THE FIGHT SCENES. the movies in no way made the fight scenes as amazing as they could’ve been. I NEED THIS.
9. the Grover, Percy & Annabeth friendship. everyone knows we NEED that. please @netflix make it HAPPEN.
10. i feel like this series is just something everyone needs right now. it has an amazing mixture of love, friendship & family. i think it would be a very beautiful adaption. i really really want this to happen. PLEASE NETFLIX. plus, uncle rick deserves it.

It would also allow the inclusivity and diversity of the letter books/series to come through right from the beginning

Hey did you know that in the renaissance they would sensor the word c*nt by shortening it to “c”? Furthermore, do you know how many times Shakespeare refers to the “sea”? It’s quite a few. and you know what sea sounds like? 

So

sea=c

c=c*nt

So when Shakespeare references the sea it’s entirely possible that it’s a double entendre for female geneitalia.

So when he says that “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep” he’s also saying “My love for you is as deep as that pussy;)”

Why the fuck is this still getting notes I made this post at like 3 in the morning.

Because it’s amazing

why the fuck is this not getting more notes

THIS NEEDS MORE NOTES

Intersectional Feminism means addressing injustice and promoting equality wherever it may exist and whoever it may effect.

I THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME.
