every day i get a little madder about the ‘dream job’ narrative… all i want is to have a job that benefits society somewhat, doesn’t abuse me, and lets me live a happy life outside of my job lol. jobs should not be (and arguably can’t be) cosmic destinies and identities
the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that Buck's storyline leading up to it is about him not being sure if people accept the changes in him and that he struggles with knowing who he actually is vs. who he thinks people want/expect him to be, and then he's faced with a woman who literally wants him to be someone else because she thinks he'd be good at it. and he says no and plays along just to escape and tries to talk her out of it...up until he hears Eddie, and then he's willing to put aside all that growth to save him. He'll do it, he's ready to be Derek.
the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that you have Eddie who has struggled for seasons with people assuming the worst possible outcome about who he is. just in season 9 he had the lawyer touting that he's some violent, angry man and Abigail's father thinks he's taking advantage of her (fuck him, by the way), and the sheriff thinks he killed Buck. And then you have him trying to find out about Buck. He apologizes for taking Hector's clothes, he pays money for that shitty car. Until he's faced with what he thinks is a situation where Buck is in danger or already dead and then he's ready to embrace that false reputation he's been trying to disprove. He's ready to shoot, kill, fight to save him.
and finally, the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that in the end...neither one of them has to give up their individual journeys because the other has their back. Buck saves Eddie from embracing that false interpretation of him. Buck is the one who does any of the actual damage by using the cattle prod on Earl. Eddie was willing to shoot. He had the gun ready. But Buck stopped him from having to. And Eddie saves Buck from falling back into being what others want him to be. He screams "Buck", Buck's preferred name, loudly and repeatedly. Buck was willing to "be Derek" but Eddie made sure he didn't have to be. Eddie stopped him from having to.
He’s literally never looked more like a puppy.
Something about buddie friends to engaged that I'm having fun chewing on right now, is the different reactions if someone asked them how long they were together before they got engaged. In this particular scenario, Eddie was the one who proposed, and Buck is in this giddy state showing off the ring Eddie got him the morning after, and Buck kinda freezes trying to figure out if 30 minutes is a crazy answer, and then Eddie is just like "eight years, took him a while to let me lock it down" very casually and Buck is just staring at him mildly offended. Because in one way it feels like the truth, but it's definitely not the truth. So Buck is like "you proposed 30 minutes after our first kiss" and Eddie like "I put you in my will, like, 6 years ago" "that's not the same" "it sure feels like it's been where we were always headed" "but I would know" "would you? because I tried to get you to understand I wanted to date you for a whole 6 months before you caught up" "you didn't ask" "watching you try to figure out what I was doing was more fun" "it took me minutes to be ready to marry you" "because we've been together in every other way for years" and Buck doesn't have a come back, because Eddie got him there, and the barista trying to hand them their coffee is questioning all their life choices.
no one fw eddie when it comes to his family
we don't talk enough about the fact that if Eddie Diaz didn't drag his sore injured-in-a-car- accident ass all over New Mexico then Buck would've been dead
like. canonically
this is the direct he saved my life episode. I can make a ton of what-ifs to Eddie being shot where other people save him but there is literally either Buck dies or Eddie saves him in Mother's Boy. radically. nothing else could happen
(x) let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain ❤️🌧
"I'm NOT letting you kill yourself!!" gotta be one of my favorite character dynamics ever
all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

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!
this is fucking killing me bro. computah, show me more hot hockey firefighters whaling on cops
@texasteaparty shared this with me ✨
This is absolutely 👨🏻🚒❤️🧑🏼⚕️ firefighter Rooster beating the crap out of the mouthy cop lmao
i really im absolutely astounded at the phenomenal job that MIB did not to be racist against aliens, despite being a movie about secret agents chasing evil aliens. that scene where jay helps an alien mother to give birth is probably one of the most humanizing moments for an Other ive seen in a movie ever.
like it grabs the body snatcher trope from the cold war "aliens are all around you, hidden in diguzise, they could be any one of us!" and then it says "and theyre just people, theyre literally just people trying to live their lives and thats fine"
you literally have a whooe scene where a cop stands out because he says "i dont care how menacibg or threatning someone looks im not going to shoot them if there is a reasonable explination for what theyre doing, one is sneezing and one is just doing excercise", and that is the guy that gets aproved to join MIB.
The movie has a real love for NYC and immigrant culture as a part of that. The opening scene where K welcomes the undocumented immigrants to the United States. One alien greets another and says he's ordered him pierogi. A lot of them are refugees from their home worlds who just want to survive.
K greets a Hispanic man by saying "Grandfather, welcome to the United States".
A greeting to an elder, in his own language, given from an alien immigration officer to a day laborer who's being smuggled in.
When I understood enough Spanish for that? It floored me. This movie was already my standard for "yeah, they're people too", but this is what I want immigration to be.
Benevidos. How was your journey? Welcome home, you belong here.
I never quite got the humor, but I also haven't ever questioned who the good guys are. Try that with your average sci-fi, see how it goes.
