"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

I hate being perceived visually. Yes, I am self-conscious about my looks. I don’t always have the time/energy to put on an outfit that makes me feel confident. But give me a costume or a mask, some way to be someone other than myself, and I’m good.

When I volunteered at the Austin Nature & Science Center 300 years ago, this was phrased to me as "their heads are full of optic nerves & murder. There's no room for anything else."
Me to same owl handler: "Owls are super wise, right? They read loads of highbrow Russian literature and stuff, don't they?"
Owl handler: "No, they actually have very tiny brains, due to the hugeness of their eyes. In reality they are one of the thickest animals you could ever meet."

I had a tiny salad and one (1) bite of broccoli at lunch and my stomach is already saying “no thank you”. This is why I need to stick to chicken and some form of potato or perchance rice.

It’s a good thing no two snowflakes are supposed to be the same, because some of my crochet snowflakes have 6 sides like they’re supposed to, but some have 5 and some have 7. I keep thinking I’m following the pattern correctly, but I’m obviously messing up somewhere.

Watched a YouTube video and found out I don’t actually know how to crochet. I was doing What I thought was a single crochet stitch but was actually a fiber-based abomination that turned perfectly good yarn into something approximating a scarf. Double crochet will be the death of me.

Dammit all to hell, Indiana. Give me a fucking break on my gas and electric.
