The lesson of avatar was never “killing bad people makes you just as bad as them” it was “you cannot be letting fascists dictate what counts as a win or loss” guys like come on it’s been 20 years

Katara doesn’t forgive Yon Rha and hug him and dry him off and walk him home she leaves him scared and sniveling and crying in the mud but she leaves him alive because she realized in that moment that she was only doing this because she felt like she had to. She hates this man, therefore she should want to kill him, right? The narrative isn’t saying wow Katara killing a mass murdering fascist dickwad is just as bad as said dickwad killing an innocent wife and mother during a raid on her home, it’s saying wow isn’t it fucked up that this little girl has been forced to carry this deep seated anger in her for most of her life to the point where the only outlet she believes she has for it is killing a man in cold blood? And like… yeah! That is pretty fucked!

the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .

for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

Hey Bri I hope you don't mind me sharing this on your post but in case anyone reading this is in Kansas or knows trans people in Kansas, Colorado is nearby and considered one of the safest states for trans & queer people. I know relocating is logistically expensive and challenging for many reasons, especially for people in a vulnerable situation, but if it is an option anyone is considering, there is a nonprofit here that may be able to help.

Steps These steps are intended to be a linear process to get you out of there and resettled here. But we get it, you’re a big kid and can do

[wizardarchetypes]

Now is the time to support relocation services in any way you can.

Finally, here is the first episode of "The Chronicles of Loreley"! In a world where the supernatural occasionally overlaps with the mundane, what do you do when that overlap gets... crunchy? Why, you call on a witchy investigator/bookshop owner, of course! Including the incredible talents of @carriecorecc , @nezumiva , @imcasperfox chipping in voices to make this work, and the wonderful audio mixing by @cyberneticpinkeye !

HEY so, fun story Jobs have continued to be elusive, and we're still struggling. Rather than start a new GoFundMe for the exact same circumstances, we decided to revive this one for another round. If you can chip in to helping us pay rent next month, it would be huge help for us right now. I know we're not the only ones dealing with this, but with me being disabled and on a limited income, and the roommate not able to secure a job (despite working every day to do so), we're desperate enough to try. As with everyone who posts these, if you can't donate that's totally understandable, but sharing also does wonders- you might not think so, but even if sharing once only reaches one other person, you never know how far down the chain it could go from there. That's why everyone says "Hey, sharing helps too!", and we're no exception to this. So, please, consider reblogging.

Thank you so much!

Since I'm therapist-posting recently:

Legitimately self-compassion is the biggest mental health life hack of all time. I'm NOT talking about self-esteem. You do NOT have to like yourself one bit. You don't have to believe that you're a good person who deserves good things. You just have to believe that you're a person who deserves the things all people deserve.

You can't get from "I'm the Worst" to "I'm a worthy and lovable person" without passing through "I'm just a regular fuckup like everybody else."

Try it on. If you're really addicted to being mean to yourself, you can start by framing it as I'm Not Special. Embrace being a regular fuckup like everybody else.

So it turns out the windows 11 'shut down' button no longer shuts down the computer entirely. I know this because task manager snitched on the runtime. So I shut it down and turn the main switch off and guess what happened on the next boot. American Megatrends. How the hell does windows 11 even manage to fuck up shutting down

[yamada-ryo]

Apparently it fucked with my bios settings? Now I can't even run my emulator.

[yamada-ryo]

This shit was NOT set to off before. This OS is a virus that fucks with your system. And not in a good way.

[switch-to-linux]

I have a suggestion

[aeori-o]

For anyone who has any modern Windows PC: This has actually been broken since Windows 7! Maybe 8, I don't remember, I just remember being the exact same level of horrified as OP when I finally noticed an 'up time' of like three hundred some odd hours on my old PC despite it having been shut off regularly. Anyway.

The usual culprit of Windows not "fully" shutting down is "Fast Start Up" being turned on (which was and is "on" by default, because it does help a slow computer or a computer with a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) start up faster). Anyone with a modern Windows PC running an SSD as your boot drive should turn this off. The computer not fully shutting down can lead to weird compounded errors. So please follow along!

Type "power options" into your search bar and click the result, should look like this:

Which should open this:

Now we're going to back up to "Power Options" by clicking that in the upper bar or hitting "Cancel" on the bottom right. Now you should be here:

On the left hit "Choose what the power buttons do". Now you should be here:

Ignore the power button thing, but if your "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" is still on then turn it off! If yours is also greyed out make sure to hit that little blue thing with the shield near the top that says "Change settings that are currently unavailable" and then turn it off. Remember to hit "Save changes". Now your computer should fully shut off!

If you don't know how to check your "up time" to even know if this is a problem for you the easiest way to check is in the task manager. In the "performance" tab under your CPU at the bottom it will have an "Up time" like this:

(No comment on the SVM mode randomly disabling itself, it may or may not be related to this. I've never made use of and therefore never paid attention to mine and a lot of people aren't going to have it because that's AMD and while it's been more popular lately Intel is still really big out there. AMDs known to be quirky though (I say this as an AMD user) so who even knows what happened there.)

I know the post became memeing on windows but this can cause actual issues on modern hardware so figured I'd hijack in case it helps someone out. (It's something I have forgotten to check in the PCs I've helped friends make recently so I'm now having a "wuh oh" moment wondering if quirks one of them has been exhibiting is related to this.)
