Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

Lmao I just went to the TV Tropes page for Obsession and I love this bit of trivia

“Hey man, your main character isn’t sympathetic enough, could you fix that?”

“Okay sure, I’ll make him MORE unsympathetic since you idiots missed the point”

WHY DOES NO ONE TAKE MELJAY SERIOUSLY? THEY ARE EVERYTHING!!!!!

[meuliliac]

「 I just want to live, is that so wrong? Why doesn't anybody else want that?」

In a country that wants me dead, in a state that wants me dead, with neighbors and family that hate my just because of my gender

I just want to live

In a world that sees how I was born as an execution, surrounded by people who don't want me to come back from the sea they've cast me into.

I just want to live

I just want to live

I want to go for walks without fear, to talk to my neighbors without checking my words, I want to laugh, I want to smile, I want to exist.

Is that so wrong?

I want everyone to feel safe being who they are, I want us all to see the sun and feel how the wind calls us to the future. I want us all to HAVE a future.

Why doesn't anybody else want that?

I've had too many emotions about Iron Lung since watching it, and certain lines / scenes really just.. Hit me far too hard, as a trans person.

Mark has always been an inspiration to me - his content has always been a comfort through dark times and darker thoughts, and Iron Lung has been no different.

I don't think that this film could have come at a better time, honestly. Thank you, @markiplier and @duskdev

🚨🚨EUPHORIA SPOILERS!!!🚨🚨

Ok I don’t watch the show and don’t plan to. I heard about Alimo and his back story of his mom and I came across this post on Reddit. And I feel like it rly just serves itself as proof hyperbolized, about misogynoir in fandom spaces.

Alimo is a guy that human trafficked desperate young women, gets them raped, drugged, and kills them. Laurie is a white woman that’s a racist and a nazi…yet the person that’s apparently the “most hated villain”…scams ppl. So in the battle of human trafficker vs nazi vs scammer…her scamming is where ppl draw the line.

It reminds me of arcane. How the fans can overlook, justify, and even romanticize Viktor’s villain arc of killing ppl, having Jayce suffer in the ravine, choking him to death, setting a little boy in a mission to undo his mistakes. How the fans can overlook and justify Silco and his active killing against the firelights and ruining Zaun with shimmer…but then Mel is the worst of the worst for “manipulating” Jayce…that’s the line they just can’t cross.

Come and get it or smth

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.

[shithowdy]

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.

past a certain note threshold on tumblr posts you unlock a bloodborne-esque insight and the strange lives of this site's users become visible to you

we fucking found them?

[prof-grace-aspen]

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.

[khashanakalashtar]

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.

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon
