i love helping the environment by being too poor to afford meat 🫡

meat selling is the biggest scam anyway 🙄 i could get that for free at any given moment from almost anywhere with minimal effort. like it literally just walks around all over the place

i'm actively listening to it argue in the parking lot outside like it's nuts man

i've seen it pay taxes and shit too

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up."

—Terry Pratchett, Night Watch.

The continuation of that passage feels pertinent to right now as well:

“What would run through the streets soon enough wouldn't be a revolution or a riot. It'd be people who were frightened and panicking. It was what happened when the machinery of city life faltered, the wheels stopped turning and all the little rules broke down. And when that happened, humans were worse than sheep. Sheep just ran; they didn't try to bite the sheep next to them.”

house md’s worst and best hate crime is wilson’s “i should have spent my life being more like you. i should’ve been a manipulative, self centred, narcissistic ass who brought misery to everything and everyone in his life” followed by house’s “you’d still have cancer” and then wilson’s “yeah, but at least i’d feel like i deserved it!” house risks his entire life to let wilson do too much chemo. wilson didn’t even ask him to do it. house gives up the last of his vicodin to stop wilson’s pain. he lies to wilson about it. house tells wilson that all they need in life is each other. house promises to let wilson die in his apartment instead of being taken to a hospital. he risks everything because wilson asks him to. then wilson tells house that he deserves cancer. there is no fucking reason for this. it’s the best thing they ever did.

I need more people need to understand intersex people are very relevant in discussions of moving away from gendered terms when discussing organs.

Yes, not exclusively referring to women when you talk about something specific to ovaries does in fact, correctly include trans men who have them. but there are cisgender men with ovaries. who are intersex. there are cis people who have "out of place" organs who can yes, still be effected usually by said medical things.

topics like ovarian cancer is not a women's issue, but its not a 'female' issue either. please remember that there are cisgender intersex people included- its not a strictly transgender topic. There are cisgender women with testes. there are intersex people with "external" genitals that look one way, but with "internal" reproductive organs.

When you say "people with testes" youre not just helping include transgender people, but its very, very much an intersex topic. Please remember to at least recognize us, because i know asking to be included is far too often, just too big of a question.

A boy can dream, can't he?

Hey, so if you have Windows 11 installed and have been losing your mind over the fact that you can't find your own files because Windows is now prioritizing internet search results first, you can fix it by following this guide:

As someone with over 900 GB of intentionally and properly named files on her computer (I do a lot of digital art and digital media work that requires high-volume files that function off of dependencies), this feature was making me furious. I followed the above instructions and can confirm that the method outlined solves the problem.

I have just tried this, it works and the explanation how to do it was so user friendly and clearly laid out.

10 and 11 are also kinda secretly adding Windows Copilot to your computer when you're not looking. Even without software updates. You can follow this guide to disable Copilot

The guide uses a program called gpedit (group policy editor), if you can't find it on your computer, follow this guide to install/enable it, and remember to always run as administrator:

Run these commands in command prompt.

FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )

FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )

Highly recommend doing this. Becomes significantly more tolerable without all the crap tacked on

i had windows copilot in gpedit and i have win 10 and i do my damnedest to keep it from ever updating so :/

For some of you (EU citizens maybe), you can do this much more easily, and you do not have Copilot preinstalled. Here's how :

You can simply disable the Bing search in the Settings.

>Settings

> Privacy and Security

> Search permission (it's under the various Windows permission)

Scroll down until you find Web Search, and you will soon find that Bing is allowed to show results. Disable it.

Instant result! Congratulations!

hi everyone. the batter will thicken as the flour hydrates. so start it a tiny bit runny and let it sit ten minutes to idk half an hour and it will be perfect. hydrated flour from rested batter also yields a significantly more tender pancake. peace and love

i desperately need people to realize there's a difference between "women need to coddle (cis) men's feelings even when they're being misogynistic uwu" and "we shouldn't tolerate misogyny but actively keeping men separate from women and treating them like they're inherently dangerous to women is only going to worsen the problem (and also this mindset causes IMMEASURABLE harm to nonbinary, trans, and intersex people, who are already incredibly at risk right now)" and i need people to realize that NOW

If your response to the information "an alarming number of people simply cannot read well enough to function in the society that was built around them" is "wow I'm so much better than them" i think you need to kill yourself

It's not like education will fix every problem but it is almost certainly one of the most important things to push if we want an improvement in material conditions for everybody. Writing off your auntie because she gets overwhelmed trying to decipher densely packed text and "professional" language is not going to build a better future for anyone.

i feel like this is exactly how i sound when i post on here

Oh brother we got a yapper
