I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.

If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.

No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps

Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.

Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

"my brother in christ" - old, boring
"my sister in satan" - new, interesting

however i introduce
"my sibling in the void" - unique, engaging, yet neutral

“Playing the Nazi card”

Go to YouTube and turn on English (or other language) subtitles. The topic is relevant everywhere, I’m afraid.

Sporadic reminder that billionaires have more money than they could spend in multiple lifetimes and could be using all of that to help make the world a better more just place, so we should tax the fuck out of them, take as many of their resources as we can, and do it for them, since they've decided to hoard it like the world most boring dragons, instead.

Lifehack:

Instead of wondering if something is normal, ask if it's harmful.

Dressing up as an anthropomorphic animal character isn't normal, but it makes a lot of people smile.

Being exceptionally talented isn't normal, but it sure offers a way to enrich your life as well as the people you care for.

To hell with normal. To hell with being afraid of being called weird. Furries figured this out decades ago. Many anime fans and gamers, too.

Yet, I hear people ask things like, "Is it normal to feel the way I do?"

I dunno.

Does it make your life harder? Then you might want to do something about it. Does it cause harm to others? Definitely do something to correct it.

But to cry when you watch movies? Or to want to cuddle so much that you lose any interest in actually having sex? Or to hate the world we inherited so much that it hurts, and so you channel it into helping others suffer a little less?

Who gives a shit about normal. That's human.

Do not try to mock the cringe. That's impossible.

Instead, only try to realize the truth: There is no cringe.

Then you will see that it is not the cringe that you mock, it is only yourself.
