Update: after I reblogged this someone messaged me offering me tickets to the sold out Hausu screening with a Q&A and autograph session with the director
I know this is the autism site and I see people wondering this in the tags so to be clear: this is assuming your parents survived to adulthood, met each other, and conceived you. altho the person who said they were ivf has an interesting answer so I guess you can say nuance if you want. I didn't put a nuance option sorry.

Wow buried in the new US tourist guidelines, you need to give:
-5 years of phone records
-all old email addresses
-5 years of social media history
-info of all close relatives
-Your FUCKING DNA?!?!
What the hell man!
Say goodbye to ALL US tourism!

I remember people talking about how this post was problematic because people actually get locked in basements and therefore finding this funny makes you a bad person. And I lowkey agreed
if they ever make harmlessly vexing your cats illegal, I am going to maximum security prison for the rest of my life. sometimes I feel bad about gently poking their primordial pouches when they least expect it and waking them up from naps because theyāre too cute and then I remember they love doing that shit to me too. thatās kind of the fun part of cat social structure, playfully provoking each other is the cornerstone of their friendships.
As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)
I know itās not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
i'm sorry for not stopping to suck off the platonic ideal of a Good Christian before i point out that the religion is in practice a regressive hate movement that sees people like me as subhuman. good god people
well you see I don't live in a country where Islam has any political power, so it doesn't get to influence any aspects of my daily life, and as such I have no reason to be overly invested in critiquing it. making broad, sweeping statements condemning the culturally and politically dominant religion of your country is very different from making broad, sweeping statements condemning a religion that your country has demonized and used as a scapegoat for military intervention resulting in countless deaths and regional instability. when you change the words of a sentence the meaning and context of the sentence change too. hope this helps.
