boy i sure do love a character who is playing a Character. a character who you have to basically forcefully cut open to get a glimpse of who they actually are. bonus points if they themselves have no fucking clue because theyve been pretending for so long theyve forgotten who they are when theyre not
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)
If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.
Vampires, traditionally, are just aristocratic rich people who suck the life blood out of the youth to extend their own wicked lives longer.
Werewolves wear flannel, hang around in groups built on community and support, and also look like actual monsters.
It's legitimately the differences of asking if you would rather hang out with a group of aging politicians who have a creepy obsession with controlling what the public does OR going out to a local lesbian bar.
I understand if you like the power dynamic, the blood kink, the aesthetic of it all, etc.
But at the end of the day the vampire creature is linked directly to the ruling class in most literature and the good vampires are always trying to get rid of the ones that turned them because they were lied to, manipulated, and treated like cattle that wouldn't die. Often it's a man, if you're LUCKY it's a woman, but they all still come from the same basic lore and concept.
Werewolves, however, reflect those cast out from society for "Being Different" and can be utilized for a metaphor for race, gender, sexuality, disability, etc. Werewolves, in most literature, are often seen banding together, taking in lost ones, and caring for each other only to be attacked whenever "normal people" find it convenient to blame the werewolves.
Besides, this is the website where if a trans woman has a 5 year age gap with her partner she'll get run off this website and harassed to hell and back while y'all are still glorifying and romanticizing a relationship between a several hundred year old man and a 16 year old girl.
Werewolves > Vampires, in both text AND subtext, baby.
I truly don't get why the common stereotype of tank/healer MMO couples is surly toughguy tank and anxious people-pleaser healer because every time I queue in as a healer I can feel myself physically turning into the devil
You'd think that DRK would be the masochistic sub and sometimes they are, but I personally find DRK to be the long suffering dad (gender neutral) who pulls up to the drive thru, orders a single black coffee, and leaves.
GNB just has Don't Stop Me Now by Queen playing in their head at all times.
#have also seen many healers who are like middle aged white women 10m late to work honking their manicured hands on the car horn#maam this is qarn normal and the tank is new we Are going at the speed limit
Some of y'all do not grasp how little you understand businesses. Nor how much you need to step away from pretend games and turn some of that entitled energy toward real world issues that affect real people, not pixel avatars in a video game.
