If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Being aware of the method to make the vocaloid voices breathe in SynthV but not finding any consistently satisfactory way to make them scream or fry is probably going to be my joker moment.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Subscribe to support our journalism.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Bad summary of TTRPG session

A fellow homosexual gave the working group info we weren’t legally meant to exactly have because I persuaded with something like “Look between you and me your bosses might be a little distracted and you’re so smart you could break it down for us. Nice nails by the way!”

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

This information also led directly to the Combat Veteran and CIA Case Officer teammates immediately suffering mental breakdowns upon seeing what they were dealing with, too.

WE ARE NOT "BORN TO DIE", DOES A BOOK BEGIN JUST TO FINISH? DOES A SONG OPEN WITH A BEAUTIFUL CHORD PURELY TO END? YES, WE ARE BORN WITH THE INEVITABLE FATE OF DEATH, BUT THAT IS MERELY THE FINAL ACT OF THE PLAY. WE ARE BORN TO LOVE, BE JOYOUS, TO MOVE, LEARN, CRY, AND FEEL. WE ARE IN FACT BORN TO LIVE
