I really hate to do this, but...

Y'ALL AREN'T STRIKING. THAT'S NOT WHAT A STRIKE IS.

yamiaudra's coming over later! I think I'm in the mood for some DMC1~, which I'm realizing is the only one of those games I ever just pick up and play 'cause I'm bored. If I need a DMC3 or 4 fix I just watch the cutscenes.

I wonder if I can go the whole day without watching that freakin' movie again.

Edit: I've used about fifty minutes of the three hundred I started with... That's... I think I can keep it down to ten bucks a week? Which is not saving a terrible lot of money.

I am so horribly sick of all of this "strike" bullshit.

I am glad none of my Friends seriously considered this. I mean, if you want to piss SUP off? POST LOTS OF VIDEOS AND PICTURES TO USE UP BADWIDTH! Plus, a lot of people I know are going to be off doing other things since they don't have work/school.

In conclusion, I'm getting pizza for dinner.

LOL STRIKE except...not. :| Sure, I'm not psyched that they won't let us make new basic accounts, but when it comes down to it, it IS their site, and they can actually do just about anything they want. I know a couple people on the advisory board are pissed about it, maybe instead of going OMG GAIZ LETZ NOT POST 4 A DAY they should put it in the hands of the board members to try and actually DO something about it? Or jeez, at least don't call it a strike. 8|

Seriously, if they wanted to do something to piss LJ off, I've gotta second matadin; they could just post a lot of ridiculous stuff at a wild speed and just overload the servers or something. What kind of a difference is not using LJ for a day going to make? NONE. 8| Not to mention it's a holiday for some people where they don't use the computer to begin with, and it's gonna look like they participated in the strike. Lamesauce.

I'LL STRIKE WITH YOU. 8D Overloading the servers just sounds kinda stupid, sorry. I'm not striking for the fact that they took away basic accounts; I'm striking for the fact that they didn't inform anyone and because of the censorship of certain interests.

I feel like the only one on my f-list who doesn't give a flying fuck about this whole strike boycotting business. ;P I can't seem to muster the energy to get riled up about it. I was going to participate on principal, but really? I just don't see the point.

Language is a living thing. The term "strike" was probably used because it resonates immediately with everyone, and communicates the concepts, and motivations, more effectively and quickly than any other term that came to mind for the initial poster (beckyzoole). I don't really see a problem with it being used inaccurately in this case, because the actions being taken are still, at principle, the same.

And the entire idea behind the strike is to not piss LJ off, which is why it's a refrain from doing something and not a provoking action such as spam. It's just to make a statement to LJ, which yeah, is pretty pretentious, but I figure, what the hell can it hurt? I can live without LJ for 24 hours. XD I'll get over it. Not a big deal. I generally think getting hyped up over anything is crazy, so. /o/

All I know is that because everyone is striking off LJ, I have no reason to go online tomorrow.

:| It's a gift and a curse, really.

Strike-shmike. *mutters something about Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothing*

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels that way about the 'strike'. If people seriously want to strike, stop paying for accounts.

Alas. The whole pirate thing was way funnier.

I think it's supposed to be proof that the paid stuff consumes the material that the unpaid stuff provides... or something.

I've been pointedly not texting or calling you first OR THAT NUMBER WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER. >____>;
