We have 24 hours to live, or do we?

[Haruka]

Here's the thing, I'm not quite worried about the SOPA because its intentions would be the equivalent of a censorship bomb that would destroy the entire internet and invert the freedom of access to information. SOPA is ridiculous. If SOPA got approved, and in the next day I drew a banana, would I get sued for copyright infringement against Mother Nature? Come on .

I'm not stressed about this issue but I'm obviously against this nonsense bullshit.

EH! I WENT TO SLEEP. NOT FAIR.

But yes, I do get that its not easy to make videos for youtube. I know they don't go hurrrdurr in reality and smash the keyboards and see what happens and I know I probably won't be able to do better than them. I just don't find the videos that they produce funny or entertaining. Its just really bland to me.

And don't think that i'm going around saying everyone who joins dA is automaticly a shit artist and a retard. Its just the site and about 70% of the people/things on that site that I hate. Like I said before there are worthwhile artists. I'm just always finding myself in the shitstorm part of the site. Thats why im so biased against it.

[El Dango]

I make a game out of finding as many blacked out sites today as possible.

Found around 4 so far. There's probably a complete list somewhere I could look at, but that would be cheating.

Hey, SuperSunshine, I only go to DA with links to who I'm looking for - Raygirl, Spanex, Haruka, my friend Julie D. And what I find is what I like. Very rarely do I use the search function and actually see any of the things other people create, and, if it's not what I'm looking for, I ignore it. Maybe you could try a similar approach if you do like looking at nice art but don't want to fish through a heap of steaming gunk to get there; know what to be looking out for. I do suggest Raygirl - she's an amazing artist.

Thread is getting interesting.

In regard to DA being filled with sucky artists, I'd say a few of those sucky artists are not art majors and have never had any training, but want to improve. And telling these people they suck is not going to help them improve. I have a DA account (same username) and I admit I am a sucky artist, but I want to improve, and I have. Its hard to tell from what I have up there because I have an aversion to my old drawings, but looking through my sketchbooks I still have come a long way.

Of course, I do not represent all of DA and I agree that there are a few people with no business being there.

You should know I don't mean the artists who are trying thier best and of course trying to improve. and trust me I never go up to an artist and tell them thier art is complete shit no matter how...eugh it is, I'd rather help them out. When I say shit Artist i mean something along the lines of Shit Personality/Brain. Y'know the ones who attack you when you give them critiques or point out something.

I usually just stay off dA and go to different resoruces if im looking for something in general. But yep, I know who you're talking about, she is really good.

Ah, THOSE people. I see. I misunderstood where you were going with that.

Ahahaha. That made my day and was a nice distraction from doing my astronomy homework ^_^

[ParadoxJuice]

You won't be laughing when YouTube gets banned, will you? Whahah- hahah- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA.

You worry me sometimes.

99% of the videos on YouTube are crap. No great loss.

What about the 1%? What do you think of those videos?

The ones that aren’t crap? I guess they’re... good?

Those videos are part of the 1%. #OccupyTheInternet

[I make obvious, unfunny jokes. I am part of the 99%.]

EDIT: Wait, we have twenty four hours to live? Ahahaha, the only people dying from the loss of the internet are people who are somehow permanently attached to it. Like BEN, hahaha.

I thought I was reading one of Rayfan’s posts for a second there.

You made me curious now.

Why stick me in a dress and call me Sally, I don't believe I recall having ever called someone a "bastard" before.

[spiraldoor]

Then your recollection is faulty.

[DesLife]

Either that or you're an hypocritical bastard.
