Windows isn’t freeware, it requires a license that almost every consumer ultimately pays for. That could be in the form of the price of a laptop that has a Windows OEM license baked in, or a product key if you built your own PC. Microsoft should respect the fact that people already pay for Windows and don’t want ads shoved down their throats. Windows is an important productivity tool for many people, and shouldn’t be treated like a cheap streaming box loaded with ads.

It could be said that for most people, the world consists of looking and being looked at. This raises the question of who is the voyeur in such a world full of voyeurism.

Analysis so bad you don't even know what it's talking about anymore.

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

This woman has lost her fucking mind.

Jo, are you okay?

^^^ THIS! has been an intentional, deliberate PLAN - put in place in the early 90s.. it's not and never has been a 'slippery slope' of new technologies. This is an Economic plan to gain complete control of capital, and part of a plan for mass surveillance.

I worked for one of Canada's Big 3 Banks for 6 years during the earliest implementation of this plan- which started with Credit Cards and 'Credit Score Companies'.

root & harold truly The toxic codependent platonic situationship of all time...remember when root was going to poison a random woman to save harold's life so he chugged the poison himself instead to stop her...king and queen of having something deeply wrong with them <3

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

rules for thee and not for me

here is one article talking about Tesla’s surveillance - note that the article not only has access to the cameras, but your call logs, texts, contacts, and possible other data when you connect your phone. and, as the article mentions, it is NOT limited just to Tesla, but to most modern cars including backup cameras. although not to such an extreme extent as Tesla, it is still VERY possible for you to be identified and tracked even if you don’t live in an area populated by Tesla owners.

moral of the story, cover up and buckle down; we have a long fight ahead of us.

also, DO NOT use Google to fact check or search for evidence of anything opposing the trump administration. Google is censoring and removing articles. instead, use search engines like:

oceanhero.today (i use this, and every search also helps clean the ocean!)

ecosia.org (helps to plant trees and prevent deforestation with every search)

duckduckgo.com

startpage.com

Google is not the only search engine, and there ARE ways to get uncensored news to you outside of using a vpn for now.

i searched “tesla surveillance new years attacks” on Google and the three search engines listed above and compared the results. my list above all showed top results for articles outlining Tesla’s surveillance privacy concerns, while Google’s top results were all above the terrorist act itself, the person who committed it and his “possible motives”, or a generalized article covering the bombing itself.

they don’t want you to know these things. don’t let them corner you with ignorance.

DODGE AND WEAVE, friends.

dodge and weave.

tesla owners are directly responsible for aiding in our surveillance state.

let’s not forget that when the new years attacks went down, it was widely reported that elon musk provided authorities with camera footage and charging station information (though i can suspiciously no longer find any articles saying so. if you find them, PLEASE add them to this post). trump all but said the words “elon musk manipulated the votes in my favor,” at his rally on sunday, january 19th 2025. if he was truly capable of doing so, there’s no chance that he doesn’t have back door access to tesla cars and trucks.

if he can access those things to help with terrorist investigations, what do you think he’s gonna do now that he’s in the white house ?

if you are organizing, be sure to cover your face or use anti-facial recognition makeup. there are more cameras than you thought.

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.
