Look, sometimes you just need forty thousand words of comprehensively researched geopolitical worldbuilding in order to adequately contextualise a scene of two rival princesses angrily jerking each other off. That's totally normal.
Fish of the Day - Mexican Tetra
Today's fish of the day is the Mexican Tetra!
(image source: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_tetra)
The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, also known as the blind cave tetra, is a freshwater fish known for their surface dwelling, and blind cavefish forms. These fish are found throughout subtropical America, in Southern Texas and New Mexico, and Northeastern Mexico. Along the Rio Grande, Nueces, and Pecos rivers. Living over gravel and sandy regions in mid to shallow moving waters. Waters must range from 68-77°F or 20-25 °C, and fish will migrate south to warmer waters when temperatures decrease in winter.

Blind cavefish are shaped by the pitch black caves they live in, losing their silver color and turning albino-esc pink, and losing their eyes. The degree of eye loss relating to the amount of light present in their environments. Despite this characteristic eye loss, the blind Mexican tetra can continue to react to light when introduced. This is due to a pineal eye, light sensing nerves that wire into the brain separate from the eyes. However, this pineal eye is primitive, only able to tell shadow from light, and unable to sense finer details. The loss of vision has little effect on the tetras, with the lateral line sensing organs becoming particularly sensitive, and a heightened nervous system. This allows for both an extraordinary sense of smell, as well as slight echolocation. Blind cavefish can be found in 3 major cave regions, around 30 living populations, with DNA testing showing that Mexican tetra surface dwellers have entered and adapted to their cave environments on 5, if not more, separate times. This means that different populations of fish have undergone regressive evolution uniquely of other cavefish populations, making it all the more fascinating that all populations of cavefish and surface dwelling fish can interbreed.

Schooling in groups of several thousand fish, in both the wild, and in captivity these fish are fierce hunters. Growing to a grand total size of 12cm, the Mexican tetra primarily consumes invertebrates. Crustaceans, Arthropods, larvae, and water beetles are common. Aquarium fish are known to bite at the fins of other fish, and occasionally engage in cannibalism. When food supplies dwindle, a common event in cavefish, the diet can be supplemented with algae. Despite their efficiency as hunters, these fish are regularly predated by larger predatory fish. Due to this, these fish can emit an alarm substance, which warns other fish to hide.
(image source: wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_tetra#/media/File:Epigean_and_cave-dwelling_Mexican_tetras_Astyanax_mexicanus.jpg)
There is no particular breeding season for the Mexican tetra. Male and female fish signal to another interest with erratic and exaggerated gill and mouth movement, likely to sense water movement of another in blind populations. Breeding takes place as the tetras eject ova and sperm well swimming side by side, hiding eggs in crevices. Within 24 hours fertilized eggs will hatch into a larval form. These fry will sexually mature within 6 months, and can live up to 10 years! Interestingly, fish are born with eyes that will later cloud and then shrink due to lack of light in cave populations.

Completely disable Copilot in Windows 11
You too can get the satisfaction of maiming or killing a spy embedded in your organization.
HELL YEAH DESHITTIFICATION!
For everything we do here, please be sure to be careful with what you edit, and restart your computer to lock things in. If you don't have access to the Group editor, (likely to happen if you're on base windows) you can do this as well by opening your Registry Editor app, then inputting this after your 'computer' or whatever the initial segment is. (Mine is computer. If I just try and paste the below string it gets SO mad at me)
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot
Navigating to your "turnoffwindowscopilot", hit modify, and set the value data to 1.
If done correctly, it'll look like this.
While we're at it, you can also get rid of the integrated search, (or that thing where it searches the web when you search anything, whether or not you want it to) and such through regedit as well.
Integrated search will have you going to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
Navigate to your "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" bit, if you don't see it, you can make it by right clicking and creating a new registry D-Word key of that exact name. Edit the key, set it to 1. It'll look like this if you do it right!
To get rid of Windows Spotlight, (The thing where it pulls up ten billion pages on windows start page, shoving ads in your face and cluttering everything) we go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings
And set "Enabled State" To 0. If you do it right, it'll look like this!
Disabling edge on startup will also help a fair deal with processing speed and the like. This you can do in all sorts of ways, the easiest being turning it off entirely on startup through settings in the like.
If you want to kill it *entirely*, though? :)
In regedit, run along to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft
Navigate to your MicrosoftEdge key subcategory. If you don't see it, you can make one! Note, this is a KEY, not a d-word. *inside* that subcategory, we want to either make or find the D-Word key of PreventLaunchEdge and set that to 1 in the same way as all the others. It'll look like this.
Aaaand while we're here, I'd HIGHLY recommend shanking Killer Networking Services. It's just bloatware. (Ostensibly it's supposed to monitor your network bandwidth and even things out, but that really means it's constantly monitoring and pinging things, which eats up the bandwidth you DO get, and also chunks your computer's processing power.) Getting rid of it entirely is borderline impossible, since it's set to redownload on regular updates and intel is very pushy with its updates.
This you can do by opening your Services.msc, which basically shows you all the background stuff that Windows does. Find Anything with Killer in the name, right click it, go to properties, and disable startup. It should look like this, if done successfully. It will probably reenable itself in time/in later updates for windows, but it's a quick fix. I'd also check your TaskScheduler app to make sure that nothing's scheduled to open up there, either.
If you CAN completely kill Killer services through uninstalling and the like, I would warn that at very least for my computer, the only ethernet/lan support applications that are available ARE Killer's. When you download updates, you really do have to do it manually and ONLY download the ethernet services, or just be cool with not having Lan functionality.
One last thing, not a shit application but is a shit service. If your computer's constantly overheating or just warm, you likely have Turboboost enabled. (Default setting that you can't change) If you want to be able to turn it off and drop your temps by like 40 degrees, in Regedit go to
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7
(Note- This isn't the string copy paste from the reddit thread, this is mine that does the same thing. If my string doesn't work for you, check the reddit thread string. If that doesn't work either, you can follow the path and find it pretty easily. Probably has like, one letter of difference somewhere. The bits all start the same, though, so it's easy to find.)
and go to "attributes". Set the value from 1 to 2, and now in your advanced Power Plan settings in control panel, you'll be able to *see* turbo boost and turn it off.
It'll look like this, and in power options, a successful disabling of boost should look like this.
Turning off quick startup's also a good call, since that basically stops your restarts from actually shutting things down properly.
GOOD LUCK OUT THERE YALL. MAKE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR PC!
I would like to once again recommend to you all Winero Tweaker, a free program that lets you adjust a bunch of windows settings with a single click instead of digging through 30 different setting screens and registry entries.
There's well over a hundred settings, here's just a few of them:
(sorry the classic taskbar option no longer works with current windows 11 version)
Fair warning: This is a powerful tool which means it can also do some damage if you don't know what you're doing, but every setting comes with an extensive explanation, as you can see in the Ads and unwanted apps screenshot.
This tool will even turn windows 11 from a bloated mess into a (more or less, this tool isn't magic) usable operating system.
Some tech advice for you all from my personal blog. I figured the more people see this the better, and I got a lot more followers on this blog.

⭐ So you want to learn pixel art? ⭐
🔹 Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!
Edit: Now available in Google Doc format if you don't have a Tumblr account 🥰
Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic.
My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.
This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!

The Trump administration is spending more than $100 million to fight the "emergency" of "white genocide" in South Africa.
Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Department’s Bureau of Population released Friday.
In fact, so was every other refugee admitted this year. Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.
Ignoring ongoing covid paved the way for this change and put millions more in worse danger because of it. Mask up. Keep people developing debilitating long-term illness the government wants you to die from.
Where's that person who said I was fear mongering and actually they were an expert who's helped people keep their disability because they were completely overlooking this point that I assumed was clear because I might know just a bit more about gov't assistance than the average person. This will kill people. This will force disabled people out of their homes. This will take people who are barely surviving and make it so they can't survive at all and that's the point.
the "or qualifying activity" mentioned above includes unpaid work like internship or "voluntary" time at an approved charity or nonprofit.
So if you want to keep your disability, or if you're not disabled but 80 hours would put you over the limit to lose income-based state healthcare (which is the case for anyone married or making above minimum wage in a metro area), to keep your benefits that you require to live you will be forced into unpaid labor. Which. I think there's another word for that.
