Keanu Reeves is a vampire.

Now, look at this:
That’s “Paul Mounet”, a french actor, who “died” in 1922.
His body never was found.Then, look at this:
An unknown man, painted in 1530 by Parmigianino.
Compare them:
He’s a motherfucking vampire
His beard in 2011 even grows the same way as the painting in 1530
I totally believe this to be true.
LIFE CANON ACCEPTED

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOURE READING FANFICTION AND A CHARACTER SAYS SOMETHING REALLY CUTE OR ANGSTY BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THEY WOULD ACTUALLY SAY AND YOU JUST KINDA LEAVE THE COMPUTER AND WALK AIMLESSLY AROUND THE HOUSE TO CALM YOUR RAGING FEELS
(via thepainofthesass)
Feminists say that if they walk around naked and get raped, it’s not their fault. Let me ask you this, if you owned a bank and left the doors wide open with no security and you got robbed in the middle of the night, is it the robbers fault or yours?
Literally the robber’s fault??? They walked in and took something that wasn’t theirs??? They knew pretty well that they shouldn’t steal things??? What is your argument even trying to prove???

“I’m not vaccinating my kids because they’ll build up immunity naturally anyway”
HEY, THIS IS IMPORTANT. I WILL TRY TO BE CLEAR AND CONCISE.
Whooping cough (pertussis) is making a comeback, largely because people tend to be unaware of the fact that the vaccine OR natural immunity only last for seven years. Now, if you’re relatively healthy, have no pre-existing respiratory conditions (including asthma, folks), and are between sixteen and, oh, forty-five, then whooping cough is probably just going to be a pain in the ass–you’ll cough for a while, it’ll be uncomfortable, but you’ll probably be fine, because your immune system will eventually crush it.
IF YOU DO NOT FIT ALL THREE OF THOSE CONDITIONS, WHOOPING COUGH WILL PROBABLY FUCK YOU UP REALLY BAD. LIKE, POTENTIALLY LETHAL BAD. Remember, folks, whooping cough used to be a major killer. I do not fuck around with this sort of thing.
Story time: once upon a time, Moran was a sickly little baby who lived with a bunch of other people in a commune (forgive my parents their trusting youth, they are now appropriately cynical of everyone and everything). Naturally, these alternative hippie people didn’t like getting their asses vaccinated. Moran, being an infant, had a limit on what vaccinations she could get. So when one of the people in the commune got a persistent cough, Moran ended up with whooping cough at ten months old.
Now, let me be clear, I had a serious proclivity to being extremely sick. It wasn’t genetic or even inherent to my body (my immune system is actually superior to most people’s, probably because I was sick so much), it was a result of the environment, but obviously my pediatrician was more interested in keeping me alive in the short term than exposing me to possibly hazardous or weakening bacteria, even in the form of vaccinations. So even if I’d been old enough, I probably wouldn’t have been vaccinated, because my immune system was so crippled that it would have been very problematic. I got whooping cough anyway, and the thing about whooping cough is, well, the treatments can be rough, and in my situation I couldn’t have withstood them. And they don’t always work.
Let me hit you with a few numbers. Thirty percent. Three-zero. Losing thirty percent of your body weight (assuming that you’re not obese) is lethal. Whooping cough is a massive drain on your body’s resources, and on top of that it’s hard to eat through the coughing fits.
L'il Baby Moran dropped twenty-five percent of her body weight in four weeks. An infant who had no genetic disorders or exceptional health problems that wouldn’t have been resolved by a move into a better constructed non-commune almost died of this very preventable disease. Less than twenty years ago. Currently, I am very healthy, although I still tend to get respiratory issues more than anything else, but it took not weeks, not months, but years to regain that weight loss because it was so extreme. I am also highly allergic to the new TDaP (tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis) vaccine; it causes me to spike a massive fever and hallucinate vividly horrifying images for forty-eight hours. Yes, I did find that out by testing it, and for a while we thought I would be at risk for all three permanently, because I couldn’t handle the newest shot. I still get vaccinated for those diseases (with an earlier form of the shot, so there’s no major reaction) to protect myself and others.
So let’s just be clear here: you might think that your kids will get natural immunity to this sort of thing and be fine. But you might also risk their death. Herd immunity aside (although for fuck’s sake, get vaccinated even if all three of those conditions I mentioned earlier are true for you, because you’ll be protecting other people who can’t get the shot, and those three conditions are no guarantee that you’ll be fine), you will actually literally risk your child’s life. Their life, not their comfort or their mood. Their life.
That makes you a bad parent by any definition.
Protect yourself, protect your friends, protect your children. Get vaccinated.

WARNING ABOUT A REALLY NASTY NEW VIRUS.
Meet CryptoLocker. It’s your worst nightmare. A lot of antivirus software, including the big names, cannot yet detect or stop it. If your computer gets it, CryptoLocker takes all your files hostage by encrypting them and giving you a certain amount of time to send a certain amount of money to the man behind the virus.
The encryption is very tidy, and so far seems uncrackable (well, crackable, but it might take a couple centuries). If you tamper with the virus itself, it will pretty much self-destruct and take everything with it. And the way the money is transferred, the dick programmer behind it all for the moment is pretty much uncatchable.
YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THIS VIRUS WITHOUT COMPLETELY WIPING YOUR COMPUTER. YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS PREVENTION AND PREPARATION.
Back up your computer to something like an external hard-drive, or even an internal hard-drive that you just take out and stuff away somewhere for safe keeping. Make sure your antivirus is up to date, avoid skeevy sites, and don’t open random emails. DO NOT download email attachments unless you know exactly what it is, because that seems to be how this is primarily being transmitted.
You can learn more about it here.
We’ve actually run into this at work. It’s extremely aggressive and a major fucking pain to get rid of. One of our guys got infected with it and even paid the company whatever fee they charge to decrypt the files, and due to “an error processing the first payment”, ended up double-charging him (no refunds, of course) and is virtually untrackable.
Literally fuck this guy with a cactus. Like, if you see him, offer to introduce him to your little cactus friend in a quite personal and intimate manner. This shit is FUCKING INEXCUSABLE.
Also, bulk up on your virus protection, limit your porn and illegal cartoon-watching and torrents to safe sites, DO NOT OPEN EMAIL ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU’RE EXPECTING THEM, and just be careful in general, cause this one is one of the nastiest viruses around.
I wouldn’t reblog a virus alert unless I was dead serious about how bad it is.
I got an e-mail from my dad about this.
Mandatory reblog.
So the information in this is a little outdated. CryptoLocker CAN BE DEFEATED without just erasing everything on your hard drives or paying the ransom. CryptoLocker encrypts your files with a encryption that is unique to your computer, which sucks cause it made it hard to break. But long story short: A Dutch security firm now has a data base of keys and offers a free service HERE. You send them a encrypted file and your email and they’ll will then email you a decryption key along with a download link to our recovery program that can be used together with the decryption key to repair all encrypted files on your computer.
More Info on CryptoLocker here.
Other Ransomware & Fake Antivirus removal guides can be found on this blokes channel
Also take this as a good reminder to back up important files.Reblogging this good news!
This post has been all over my dash the past few days, it’s good to see someone found a way to help!
