DOWNLOAD EBOOKInternet trolls live to upset as many people as possible, using all the technical and psychological tools at their disposal. They gleefully whip the media into a frenzy over a fake teen drug crisis; they post offensive messages on Facebook memorial pages, traumatizing grief-stricken friends and family; they use unabashedly racist language and images. They take pleasure in ruining a complete stranger's day and find amusement in their victim's anguish. In short, trolling is the obstacle to a kinder, gentler Internet. To quote a famous Internet meme, trolling is why we can't have nice things online. Or at least that's what we have been led to believe. In this provocative book, Whitney Phillips argues that trolling, widely condemned as obscene and deviant, actually fits comfortably within the contemporary media landscape. Trolling may be obscene, but, Phillips argues, it isn't all that deviant. Trolls' actions are born of and fueled by culturally sanctioned impulses -- which are just as damaging as the trolls' most disruptive behaviors. Phillips describes, for example, the relationship between trolling and sensationalist corporate media -- pointing out that for trolls, exploitation is a leisure activity; for media, it's a business strategy. She shows how trolls, "the grimacing poster children for a socially networked world," align with social media. And she documents how trolls, in addition to parroting media tropes, also offer a grotesque pantomime of dominant cultural tropes, including gendered notions of dominance and success and an ideology of entitlement. We don't just have a trolling problem, Phillips argues; we have a culture problem. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things isn't only about trolls; it's about a culture in which trolls thrive.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow to fight back trolls, haters and cyberbullying? This book is about the aggression suffered by one of the authors, Beatriz Breves, on a social network, the Facebook. The author tells us not only all the suffering she went through, but she also describes the way trolls and haters act on the internet. Beatriz uses updated research on what has been happening to adolescents. Having their personalities not formed yet and without solid emotional basis, some adolescents can even go to the point of committing suicide when they are victims of cyberbullying. Virginia Sampaio, the other author of the book, is also a psychologist and psychoanalyst. She was invited by Beatriz to help her tell the story and analyze the facts in a more objective way. But the authors do more than that. They call people’s attention for “the need to change” and have devised a list of things to do to “fight back trolls, haters and cyberbullying”. Ronaldo Ramos Lemos, the lawyer who wrote the foreword, calls the attention for the kinds of crimes which have spread on the social networks. For those people who have been attacked and for the ones who want to fight back this kind of aggression, the book Human Evil- How to Burst Someone’s Life into pieces on Facebook is an important step for the change.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM.
