windows 10 is garbage so every time i boot up the computer i have to run command prompt and enter

net.exe stop “Windows Search”

so that the shitty goddamned search/cortana feature that i never fucking use stops running in the background taking up all my fucking disk space

@baristaboy try this out dude

[ilikeyoshi]

[amis-amai]

y’all didn’t even add a tutorial of how to do this so imma put one right here 1. type in cmd.exe into your windows search and right click on Command Promt search result and select “Run as Administator”. 2. Type/Copypase in  net.exe stop “Windows Search” and make sure Windows Search is in quotations. It should then respond saying “The Windows Search service is stopping” and then tell you it’s stopped. This is only a temp fix though, if you want it switched off permanently then do THIS: 1.  Press the Windows key + R at the same time and type in services.msc. 2.  Scroll until you find Windows Search and double click it to enter its Properties window. 3.  Change the Startup type to Disabled. Apply this change and you can exit out. VOILA, NO MORE TAKEN UP DISK SPACE

ALSO, IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 10 AND ARE WONDERING WHY YOUR INTERNET BROWSING IS CONSUMING FAR MORE OF YOUR CAP THAN IT REALLY SHOULD BE, YOU MAY WANT TO GO TO SETTINGS -> UPDATE AND SECURITY -> ADVANCED OPTIONS -> DELIVERY OPTIMIZATION AND EITHER SWITCH “ALLOW DOWNLOADS FROM OTHER PCS” OFF, OR SET IT TO ONLY LOCAL NETWORK RATHER THAN LOCAL NETWORK AND THE INTERNET.

BASICALLY, SOMEONE WORKING ON WINDOWS 10 FIGURED OUT THAT THEY COULD SAVE ON BANDWIDTH BY SETTING UP WINDOWS 10 COMPUTERS TO DO PEER-TO-PEER SHARING WHETHER OR NOT THEIR USERS WANTED IT, AND WHICHEVER MICROSOFT EMPLOYEE IS FIRST TO TELL ME WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAIRLY WEASELLY LITTLE STUNT GETS TO LIVE.

MARK HAMILL DOESN’T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR SEXIST BULLSHIT

[altairdefiren-deactivated202406]

She was put in the most vulnerable position, nearly naked, chained, surrounded by dangerous bounty hunters. What does she do? Plays along, lets Jabba think he’s beaten her, and as soon as she gets her opening? She chokes him to death with the very chain he used to bind her. 

Leia is an idol. Leia is a hero.

‘BLACK PANTHER’ FIRST CRITIC REACTIONS!

[andercas]

I feel like when you’re writing, organizing chapters and dialogue is easy

but jfc, the amount of time it takes to constantly keep people moving and make sure they’re in the right spaces and trying to come up with wording for it is always such a shock. 

Like, fuck, I made you pick up a coffee cup, you need to put it down at some point. also I can’t remember what I dressed you in, can you push up your sleeves? I don’t remember if you even have your shirt on.

and YOU. YOU OVER THERE, you got out of your chair earlier, but did you come back yet? Are you coming back? Where did you even go and why’d you get up? Fuck, I can’t make you sit down again already, you just stood up, go…over there. go get more coffee. Did you bring your mug with you? fine. bring the pot to the table and—wait, wasn’t the coffee pot already over here? shit, hold on, I need to go back and re-read and re-write

[julystorms]

this is the most relevant thing i have ever read.

[thlayli-rah]

I think one of the most wild things as a writer is the sensation that you’re not actually directing your characters– they’re sort of directing themselves, and you’re scrambling around attempting to copy down whatever it was that they just did, but they don’t wait for you to finish copying. They just keep walking and talking and moving around and existing of their own volition and at some point you look up and you’re like “WHOA OKAY EVERYBODY BACK THE FUCK UP WHERE ARE WE”

Oh my god its in words

[caffeinewitchcraft]

“Listen,” my main character says reasonably, “I’m not just gonna sit still while he goes on spouting that nonsense.”

I, the writer, frantically scribble down a rough map and route. “No, obvious now, but I still have to write the part where he yells–”

“I’M BEING IGNORED,” the antagonist yells and begins to flap his arms. “LOOK I AM ALSO DYNAMIC.”

“Whoa there,” the main character says mildly and begins to do squats. They pull out a weapon. “Take a look at this escalation!”

“No!” I cry, “he took your gun, like, five minutes ago–”

“Second gun,” the main character says and cocks it. Pauses. “Was I on a low squat or a high one just now?”

“HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN BLOWING RASPBERRIES?” the antagonist wants to know, still spinning.

“When did you start spinning?” I ask in despair.

There is no escape.

This is utterly perfect and accurate

i fucking hate dating nerds one single time i wore a star wars shirt to see a dude and he was like, “wow are u wearing that to impress me” and i said, “star wars episode 4 was seen by approximately 110 million people during its initial theatrical run in 1977”

[furious-coyote]

Congratulations. You’re dating people who for the longest time have been putting up with bullying, mocking, and scorn for most of their lives. That kind of shit stays with people. So imagine their surprise when they see a member of the opposite sex, who I’m assuming is really attractive in comparison to most people, wear attire that reps nerd culture. Which even though is accepted by the masses (if you’re reasonably attractive) is still rare. Now I’m not saying that you’re not allowed to be scornful I’m just saying expect it and don’t be surprised when you hear it. Ok? OK.

[710mycologyexpert]

why i dont date fucking nerds: exhibit B

[stele3]

Bolded emphasis mine. Gross.

[constant-instigator]

Stands on nearest chair: ATTENTION MALE NERDS. YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING FROM A SHORTAGE OF FEMALE NERDS. THERE ARE VAST NUMBERS OF US, AND WE RARELY HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING EACH OTHER. YOU ARE WITHOUT FEMALE COMPANY BECAUSE YOU ARE WHINEY ASSBABIES WHO THINK YOU OWN THINGS BECAUSE YOU LIKE THEM, AND BECAUSE YOU SOMEHOW THINK YOU SUFFER BULLYING WHEREAS GIRL NERDS SOMEHOW NEVER DO. STOP PRETENDING YOU GET TO BE ASSHOLES BECAUSE YOU HAVE A “TRAGIC PAST” OR YOU WILL DIE ALONE. IF YOU THINK GIRL NERDS DON’T GET BULLIED IT’S LIKELY BECAUSE THOSE GIRLS DON’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, BECAUSE OF THIS SORT OF ATTITUDE.

[wizardshark]

also: fucking no one mocks nerds anymore. Game of thrones is the most watched show on tv, everyone and their mom is playing video games, dungeons and dragons is more popular than it’s ever been.

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

[damncommunists-deactivated20180]

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

[lallamariamhabibi]

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

[birdpapi-deactivated20171121]

^absolutely

[verdant-witch]

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

[sm0k3-ring-deactivated20160109]

I love Flint. But Flint is flawed; we know that an element of his motivations, despite the story he tells us, has always been vengeance. Has always been about Thomas, and then Miranda. Madi doesn’t have that. That personal, corrupting motivator. And I just want to go back to what Zethu said in her interview - Madi’s parents knew the oppression of slavery first hand, but as a child who grew up in freedom, Madi was also free to be motivated outside of that. To not be driven by fear, or by vengeance. And with all the similarities between Madi and Flint, she’s the pure one, the true idealist. She’s the freedom fighter, but she’s the true freedom fighter, working from a place of unadulterated righteousness. And taking this character and putting her into a room with a man - Rogers - who is Flint in the extreme, the absolute worst side of Flint, also haunted by the ghost of a woman who died as a part of his plans, and having Madi take this moment to call him to account is actually Madi calling civilization to account. It’s beautiful and terrifying. She makes it clear that she is willing to go down this road no matter what the consequences are, for herself, or for her loved ones. Because a chorus of voices are speaking to her - across centuries - about the injustices done to them, and she’s listening. And she’s carrying the heavy crown so beautifully.
