Oh what's that? You only read books with lots of "spice" in them? Well then I've got a great one for you, practically the whole plot revolves around "spice". Ahem. In the week before the departure to Arrakis,

It is with the deepest frustrations that I must report Microsoft has pushed out Copilot onto Microsoft Word no matter what your previous settings were. If you have Office because you paid for it/are on a family plan/have a work/school account, you can disable it by going to Options -> click on Copilot -> uncheck 'Enable Copilot'.

(Note, you may not see this option if you haven't updated lately, but Copilot will still pop up. Updating should give you this option. I will kill Microsoft with my bare hands.)

In addition, Google has forced a roll-out of it's Gemini AI on all American accounts of users over 18 (these settings are turned off by default for EU, Japan, Switzerland, and UK, but it doesn't hurt to check).

To remove this garbage, you must go to Manage Workspace smart feature settings for all your Gmail/Drive/Chat and turn them off. Go to Settings -> See all settings -> find under "Genera" the "Google Workspace smart features" -> turn smart feature setting off for both Google Workspace and all other Google products and hit save. (If you turned off the smart settings in your Gmail, it never hurts to open Drive and double-check that they're set to off there too.)

Quick Edit: I found the easiest way to get to the Smart Feature settings following the instructions above was to do it through Drive. Try that route first.

Now is the time to consider switching to Libre Office if you haven't already.

i am begging some of y’all to learn the difference between someone being critical of a state’s government/corporations and being phobic towards that state’s people

The funny thing is, if you go with Trek as your answer for the across, the first down is a *Wars* reference

I consider increased interaction between American and Chinese people to be extremely valuable for two reasons: 1) it helps to indirectly reduce tensions between the US and Chinese governments, and 2) it threatens the nationalist agendas of both the US and Chinese governments by giving each of their populations a window into the other side of the world, which allows them to note their similarities with people in other nations and also to observe some of the various ways in which the other population has it better than theirs does. Nothing diminishes nationalism like a little bit of mutual "the grass is greener on the other side"

Also Jak II. The Precursor Legacy was a mostly light-hearted collect-a-thon platformer, then Jak II was a gritty cyberpunk GTA-alike that gave Jak a superpowered evil side and a buttload of edgy teen angst and it was awesome

if you do some internet search, you'll learn there were plans for a E.T. sequel that was mostly a sci-fi thriller about Elliott and the kids kidnapped by evil aliens (a premise born from E.T's original horror script "Night Skies"). Also, there were some ideas for a Home Alone sequel with a maladjusted adult Kevin going on a revenge quest against the now-reformed Wet Bandits. these are just examples and I'm sure there's more. so this is my leading theory: two universes exists, a universe where horror/thriller sequels for "wholesome" media exist, we'll call it "evilverse" or something. and an universe where "adult" or "serious" media has infantilized continuations in the form of cartoon series and exaggerated sequels. a universe where stuff like RoboCop, the Mask, the Toxic Crusaders, and even Little Shop of Horror can develop a Saturday-Morning-Cartoon version of themselves. we'll call this reality "awfulverse". or as i like to call it....our reality.

First off, spin this wheel.

You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.

also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations
