Go little scop go!
When my uncle finally divorced his abusive wife and became a bachelor again he was like 55 and already used to wearing dad attire. Anyway so that year at the big family camping trip my aunts were trying so hard to hook him up with their friends but he kept wearing this sweater with a kitten in s hammock that said “beach bum” on it. And every time they saw it they’d say “Wear a nicer sweatshirt Stan!” And he would just earnestly reply “This IS a very nice sweater!”
Anyway my aunts were full of shit that sweater kicked ass
Found the picture that was on the sweater
You're right that sweater kicked ass
Half Correct. The description is right, but the picture isn’t. When I made the post five (six?) years ago, this was the only picture I could find. Its style was close enough that I figured maybe I was remembering incorrectly. HOWEVER it is my great pleasure to inform you that after many years I have found the ACTUAL kitten depicted on the sweater. Enjoy.
i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.

we fucking found them?
Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:
"Smooth edges of screen fonts"
My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.
Y'all.
I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.
Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:
Then you'll see this:
TURN IT ALL OFF.
I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.
My computer is so quiet and reasonably-temperatured now and I barely notice a difference in utility, why is windows like this
maybe I can even play computer games again
The second best thing you can do for a Win10 computer is turn off whatever unnecessary services it's decided it needs to run in the background always. Some services it does need, but others are useless. Here's an article that goes into step by steps.
10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.
Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")
The first best thing you can do for a Windows computer is install Linux Mint. But some of us do need a few pesky Windows-specific programs. Bleh. Still, if you're up for a project, you can have both (and it's awesome). Here's an article about setting up a dual boot Windows/Mint system.
saw a video that was like “everybody comment what you did today so we can see how everyone experienced something different” and the comments have me tearing up on this train. what the fuckkkk. the human experience
mannn. what ever
i conditioned my leather loafers
I went to the comic shop and hung out with my coworker/new friend!
Alt health clowns: all doctors just diagnose whatever fake diseases they need to push evil toxic pills!!!
Actual doctors: wow sorry to hear that your bones dissolved and your eyes flew out and exploded and all your skin fell off, try drinking more water and sleeping better and if the pain gets worse in 6 months we'll do some tests to see if you deserve a aspirin
this is so fake bc the doctor didn’t tell you to try working out
and bc they wouldn’t actually see you in six months, their secretary says they’re booked out until next year. smh.
Am currently in the midst of the shittiest fortnight in my memory with no particular end in sight BUT allow me to make a serious mood-boosting rec.
This sequence:
Repeated just twice to this song:
Has made me feel like none of my problems can touch me, for a couple of minutes at least.
The zoo in my hometown posted this picture of one of their cheetah cubs and I'm obsessed

I'm not a huge fan of Doctor Who's format, but I have to admit its writers have the right idea when it comes to navigating the competing needs of episodic versus serial television. Just do pure monster of the week shit, then every dozen or so episodes have a guy show up and gloatingly explain how a bunch of those seemingly disconnected crises were secretly part of his master plan. Why did he go to all that trouble? Because fuck you. What's his ultimate goal? Also fuck you.
