Petrov was on overnight duty in 1983 when computers indicated the U.S. had launched a nuclear strike against his country. He had only a few
RIP to a quiet hero.
A good reminder in these times that even when powerful men act with impunity to do evil, tossing out callous orders left and right, that at the end of the day those powerful men often depend on ordinary, low-level workers to push a button somewhere, to flip a switch, to pull a trigger… and that those ordinary individuals have the power to say “no.” You can refuse to push the button, and you might save countless lives in the process.
we need to make an add-on that gives you the dictionary definition of queerbait every time you make a post accusing a show of it because i saw someone call bowser/luigi queerbaiting and. i have officially had enough. if you hand to god thought that nintendo entertainment was going to let that lizard turtle monster raw the little green plumber guy then that is entirely your fault. i cannot help you any more.
Tragically, I asked the doctor if there was another way. His reply shattered me: surgery is the only chance. Without it, my baby Qais will die. These are not words—this is our reality.
I am a mother begging time to slow down while it races against my child’s fragile body. Please don’t let money decide his fate. Please donate Your donation today is not charity—it is life for Qais.
If you scroll past this, nothing changes for you—but everything ends for us. Silence becomes a choice now. Please donate today; your help is the only reason Qais might survive another tomorrow alive.
Time is not waiting, and neither is Qais’s fragile heart. Every minute without help steals his chance to live. Please donate now—your kindness can rewrite this story before it ends forever.
This is not a story to read later. Qais is fading now, quietly, painfully. If you can give anything today, please donate—because delaying help could mean losing him forever.
you can never go back. this is your one life. you had a bad childhood and that's it. you lost your teen years to mental illness and that's it. you're miserable in your 20s and that's it. you just go forward
Please, stop whatever you're doing right now. Stop playing games, watching movies, following matches, or listening to music... Leave everything else for just one minute, and sit with yourself and ask yourself honestly: Did we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this way? Do you think this is fair?
Are you happy that the war is over? It's as if you're happy that a tragic incident ended, while the bodies are still there, the wounded are untreated, and the destruction remains untouched.
This is us now. We've been left like a crime scene after everyone has left, with the wounds open and the devastation untouched. We're still here, trying to survive. If your answer is "no," if you still see us as human beings, then do something.
Unfortunately, immediately after the war ended, everyone left us alone and everyone stopped helping us. Please, we need your help. Please do not leave us alone.
it's taken me about a week to actually accept this. I'm not handling it very well - I've been pretty much shut in my room the whole time. still alive, though. that must count for something.
I'm struggling pretty hard with daily tasks, hygiene, meds, water, etc. I'm trying to get myself into a better spot with it but it has been hard.
I know all I ever do is ask for patience and money. I feel awful about it. Right now I'm just asking for patience. I have no idea what I'm going to do about money, but I need to get myself in order.
I think I'm also asking myself for patience. and grace. and hope.
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)
Launching a new social media platform where, in addition to upvoting or downvoting a post, you can also topvote, bottomvote, strangevote, or charmvote it. Each of these extra options does affect the Algorithm, but exactly how is not publicly documented, leaving users to puzzle it out via trial and error.
people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.
