Hey, you know that the only causes really worth fight for are the lost ones. =)

~M~

[substitute.livejournal.com]

I'm still trying to breathe here

[nebris.livejournal.com]

I do have a certain amount of detachment here because I have Commie Journal. =)

~M~

[mikester.livejournal.com]

Oh, boy, you ain't wrong. This will "work" like the gasoline boycott did.

[dmlaenker.livejournal.com]

Your comment is like a Zen koan.

Other things are also koans.

[gillen.livejournal.com]

detachment... that's an odd way to spell 'investment'. ;)

[dmlaenker.livejournal.com]

Hey, your icon has lulz in it!

[substitute.livejournal.com]

They'll be down on their knees after a day with 15% less Aubrey/Maturin slash, 8% less internet-libertarian throatbeard rant, and 1% less teen wangst! THE WORKERS CONTROL THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!

(Cut to shot of general strike in Dhaka or Jakarta, fire, bodies everywhere, water cannon)

[auntiesiannan.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU.

As always you are far more succinct than I ever am.

[dmlaenker.livejournal.com]

IAWTC

[substitute.livejournal.com]

Word.

[auntiesiannan.livejournal.com]

I'm no stranger to koans.

[nebris.livejournal.com]

CJ is a utterly non-profit op. Hell, most of it is paid for out of our gubmint cheques. ;P

~M~

[dmlaenker.livejournal.com]

You know the Way, and so do I.

[gillen.livejournal.com]

One may have more than simply money invested in a project. I'm just saying, as the maintainer of an LJ-code based alternative, I'd hardly call your advocacy of Content Strike and relocation "detatched". Tis madness, yet there is method in't.

[mikester.livejournal.com]

It's my special "Talkin' about LiveJournal" icon!

[auntiesiannan.livejournal.com]

A full Enlightenment's what I'm thinking of.

[nebris.livejournal.com]

Один день без контента

~M~

[nebris.livejournal.com]

My 'detachment' simply comes from not be totally invested in LJ.

~M~

[dmlaenker.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that translates to something like "you should have been an abortion... lolz!", like just about any other bit of Cyrillic in LJ.

[gillen.livejournal.com]

You win this time, Mr. Bond.

[nebris.livejournal.com]

Actually it means "Content Strike!" =)

Ay Winz On Dar Intarwebs!

[nebris.livejournal.com]

[miss-geek.livejournal.com]

should we post dog door porn?

[nebris.livejournal.com]

[sooz.livejournal.com]

haha i dont know if the world will be ready for it ;)

[sooz.livejournal.com]

i wish i was that happy when a cock magically appeared near my junk.


also,


if you were a true commie you would be stoked on the oppression of the poor working class to bring forth the revolution. marx is giving you the stink eye.

[miss-geek.livejournal.com]

you're probably right.

i mean, neither of us have surprise peni.

[33mhz.livejournal.com]

Woo, it's not really a party 'till the futanari arrive.

marx is giving you the stink eye

[nebris.livejournal.com]

Oh, screw that old bugger. I'm pushing for a polytheacratic dispersed republic of communist mankilling multiracial lesbian cyberwitches. (http://community.livejournal.com/e_speaks/33698.html).

[nebris.livejournal.com]

Ya got that right, buddy! ;D

I understand how they feel, but I'm not sure they're focused on the proper points. I hate ads, I hate to think of all the people that visit my LJ that are subject to that fucking snap widget, but I can always go elsewhere because it's their ball and bat (which I have in other situations just fine). My Friday Fiver will be posted a bit after 12:00AM tomorrow - let my friend list shrink!!1!

[snuh.livejournal.com]

Don't you just hate when that happens? It's *so* embarrassing.

[jpeace.livejournal.com]

I didn't know where to go with this, so I brought it here.

[33mhz.livejournal.com]

This feels more like an art piece than a porn video. I think it's a metaphor for the lj strike.

[eris-devotee.livejournal.com]

here, here!

Why don't people understand that LJ is a business, kinda like Urban Outfitters, and just like UO they can change around- the way it looks, what they sell, how much they sell it for...

why are the rules supposed to be different for LJ?

AHG.

Re: marx is giving you the stink eye

[fengi.livejournal.com]

Do they make that snap widget mandatory in unpaid accounts? Cause at least you can opt out if you pay.

[fengi.livejournal.com]

On the other hand: If the owner of an international website is giving interviews to respond to an "absurd" protest action and admits there are problems among his spin, then the action actually worked. It may not live up to the organizers fanciful rhetoric and expectations, but it got a result in advance. Damn!

Lets boycott electricity on the 21st!

[brianenigma.livejournal.com]

[handstil.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the boycott can be extended...indefinitely?

[vanbeast.livejournal.com]

hahahahah yes. I agree. I love it when the winers forget that there are (VERY GENEROUS ESTIMATE) 50,000 of them and *10 million* who don't give a shit.

Nobody. Fucking. Cares. And this is coming from someone who A) used to work for LiveJournal B) thinks SUP is fucking up and C) ... well... did I always say shut up? Shut up.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

agreed.

Re: marx is giving you the stink eye

[snuh.livejournal.com]

Cause at least you can opt out if you pay.

Are you sure? It turns it off your LJ for everyone that visits?

[eyeteeth.livejournal.com]

The best part will be on Saturday, when there's a post surge as everyone says DID YOU SEE HOW MUCH I DIDN'T POST YESTERDAY???

Re: marx is giving you the stink eye

[sooz.livejournal.com]

hrm

that did not make me proud to have a vagina at all. :(

[vanbeast.livejournal.com]

I was halfway through the video before I realized what was going on. Bravo.

[baconmeteor.livejournal.com]

Literally "one day without content"
