Windows 11: Missing Features from Windows 10

Take care before moving to Windows 11, as you may lose access to some familiar features from Windows 10. Here’s a detailed list of features from Windows 10 that users commonly feel are missing or changed for the worse in Windows 11: Taskbar Changes: Taskbar Customization: Drag-and-drop to the taskbar is missing. You cannot move the taskbar to the top, left, or right of the screen as it is fixed…

Hey.

Hey, let me talk at you for a minute.

Just a minute.

✨Stop sending creators hate.✨ fuck, stop sending people hate at all, honestly.

Stop it.

I don't give a single fucking rat's ass why you think you have a right to send it, you don't.

Stop it.

Use that energy you got rolling around in all that bullshit and work on some self-improvement. A little introspection. Some bullet-journaling, scrapbooking, learn how to cook a new meal, study a language.

Practice cock-sucking on a dildo.

Do something useful with that time and energy.

Look, some people are gonna write shit you don't like. They're gonna draw shit you don't like. They're gonna have takes, and head canons, and entire personal havens built up around shit YOU DO NOT LIKE.

Block them, and move on.

You're not doing anything by being a bitch ass punk, going into their space just to yell at them about how much of a bitch ass punk you are. Especially if you're doing it anonymously.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE MAKING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS TO KEEP HARASSING THEM AFTER THEY BLOCK YOU.

It's dolls, baby, we're playing with dolls. They're not real.

I know it can get intense as fuck, and I know you can get really attached, and I know your own little haven can become SUPER IMPORTANT to you. I know - I get it.

Learn to block people and move on.

I don't care what they're doing, what they're saying, what they're enjoying, or why it bothers you. I don't care.

It

Does

Not

Matter.

Block them and move on.

I feel like all the peak lords go to one peak to get their makeup done—they alternate between Xian su and bai zhan. Xian su because qqq was a beauty influencer and bai zhan because lqg had practiced with lmy

I feel like lqg would rather put clown make up on his fellow transmigrators then take it seriously (he'd probably jab someone's eye with a makeup brush)

might as well have all of them go to xian shu peak to take lessons from Qi Qingqi

do you think there is any elitism regarding tattoo application in cyberpunk? cause we see v's tattoo being applied automatically by a ripperdoc but i have to assume that tattoo artist is still a job, if even a dying one that's slowly being replaced by machines. like even today we see artists fighting for their work and the integrity of art in general versus ai, and i know in the tattoo community there have been similar things happening re: robotics/automated application within the last few years (look up BlackDot tattoo) and i just want to know what that community is like in 2077. there must still be old school corner tattoo shops right??

Something I love about how Pride and Prejudice is told through an omnipresent narrator, aside from the witty remarks and insight into other characters it allows even though it's usually focused on Elizabeth, is how it plays on the audience's own prejudices and assumptions.

The narrator tells us very early on, chapter 4, that Darcy is "haughty, reserved, and fastidious, and his manners, though well-bred, were not inviting." We've already seen that when we meet him the previous chapter, and will see more of it in those following. But it's the readers, along with Elizabeth, who take that observation as not only a list of flaws (despite only the first actually being negative) but presumes even more damaging flaws must be attached to it. Darcy can be off-putting, especially so in the setting we meet him in: he dismissed Elizabeth within earshot of her, didn't engage with people attempting to converse with him, etc. It's easy to assume the worst of him in a world so driven by social niceties, and because we follow Elizabeth, who is so lively and playful amidst the rules which govern society. Elizabeth thinks he's bad tempered? It would make sense - he hasn't shown consideration for others much socially, why would he care when he's angry? He acted from resentment and jealousy and went against his father's will? That's not such a jump after the conclusion of a bad temper, his own acknowledgement of implacable resentment, and evidence of pride. The awareness of one offensive trait so naturally leads to prejudice against it, that we easily assume still worse qualities must exist. We are as mistaken as Elizabeth.

Even the idea that 'No, Darcy was never haughty or rude, he was just shy and misunderstood, the narrator is wrong' is just magnifying that prejudice. Yes, we do find out later that Darcy is not at ease among strangers, and was always intrinsically good; his morals and core values meant he was never as bad as Elizabeth believed. But that doesn't mean he was without flaws, and it's so fascinating that some analysis of his character seek to completely remove the negative traits which he eventually overcame after acknowledging them in himself. The logic seems to be that they feel if he had them in the start that he isn't actually such a good person. It's just another example of being so prejudiced against certain flaws that it's impossible for some people to reconcile that there doesn't have to be more serious failings attached, and someone can still be a good person despite being arrogant and not always nice. It's, ironically, being prejudiced in the exact same way that Elizabeth was at the start of the novel. It's amazing that Jane Austen was able to tap into that aspect of human nature so deftly, and invoke in both in her main character, and readers to this day.

Now, of course, the story is so well known it's rare for anyone to read it blind, so it's less likely anyone will be unaware of Darcy's good qualities despite first seeing his worst. Even if they do, Pride and Prejudice has become so genre defining that new readers who are the slightest bit genre savvy will be more aware than contemporary audiences were. But even if we know the story it's still so understandable why Elizabeth feels the way she does. We see what she sees and feel her conclusions make sense. Just as, even though the narrator tells us Darcy is starting to catch feelings for Elizabeth, we fully comprehend her not noticing and believing there's a mutual dislike. And though that is concrete evidence of Elizabeth not reading Darcy and his motives correctly, we are still so sympathetic of the basis of her prejudice that her continued belief in Darcy's lack of virtues makes sense from her point of view. We can see, as she later will, that she takes it too far, and should have noticed evidence to the contrary, but her prejudice against him based on his early behaviour and her pride at reading people correctly is so understandable.

Basically, in a story about the characters' pride and prejudices, I love, love, LOVE how the narrator's voice brings out those same traits in readers the exact same way we see it presenting in Elizabeth. We're all on that journey with her, and we can likewise learn the same lessons about ourselves as she does. Pride and Prejudice feels timeless, because even though society and thus the nuance changes, the book is about human nature, and that remains essentially the same.

Howdy there folks!

We are looking for artists that would like to create original art for zines!

This opportunity would mean that you will have published versions of your art, get a fair cut of the profit and get to network with other creators. The zine would be a quarterly publishing, meaning that there are several opportunities a year to be in one. Each zine would be shared between 13 creators, placed in brick and mortar shops and sold online. Each artist would have up to 8 pages, with a minimum of 2, meaning you can fill those pages however you'd like- comic format, graphic novel, creature field guide, digital illustrations etc. Writers: you could have a short story inside!

Our quarterly zine is called Creature Feature, whatever that means to you! Lil guys? Sure. That thing under your bed? Sure! Were-kittens? Yeah! Your local cryptid? Yeehaw! Your imagination would be the limit.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, fill out our application form. Have any questions? Email us at heath@discoratco.com.

Hope to see some of you soon!

People having takes that are like “I hate it when they make this character’s entire personality about another character” towards Homura, Homura of all people, is so funny. Sure she can have other interests but. That’s the entire point of her story bro.

Godfall Terminal Access Approved- Data: Entities and Culture.

System access permitted. Research Data On phenomenon "Godfall" now accessible. Secondary information Request, central data upon "Entities and Culture."- H.A.E. Employee Detected, Hello, Bastian.

Please note that the following research content is highly classified and contains the following sensitive topics: None. Inhabitance of dead giants? maybe?

THE ENTITIES || A COLLAPSING GOD

"How powerful does something have to be to qualify as a Godfall? || How often do they occur?"

To determine the frequency and power of a Godfall it is essential to note the fact that there are multiple forms of the phenomenon. A Lesser Fall Is the descent and subsequent death of any number of spirits or dragons that bears some form of heightened magical concentration that can be reliably harvested. These falls, much like the others, are heralded by higher magical concentrations, but can occur without the presence of a portal or disturbance in reality. These deaths often do not attract as many Thronebreakers, as many of these dragons are capable of living completely hidden from opportunistic hunters.

This is not the case for a Collapse. Signified by a long period of higher magical concentration, and the presentation of portals and 'interference' where the entity will eventually appear, a Collapse will present itself with the decedent appearing larger than any example of their species should be, even Veilspun and Everlux appearing from within these so called "gaps" at sizes that dwarf even Imperials- a fact that led to the essential presence of Breakers within Thronebreaking crews, and their regularity as large, hardy breeds like Snappers, Guardians, or the aformentioned large light breed. A collapse can take multiple days to complete, depending on how capably a dying entity can withstand the constant injury and damage inflicted by those around their legs. These occasions are far rarer occurring typically only 5 times a year, and often draw greater concentrations of thronebreaker crews.

Within this classification is a Hostfall- A Collapse-tier event but the death of a worshipped entity among The Host- these events are almost unheard of, and regularly replace one of the small handful of Collapses that might occur in a year. Each time they've been observed- only a small handful of times in recorded history of the Godfalls themselves- a number of the spirit's "faithful" have dropped dead across Sornieth, most of them in good health.

There is, of course, a theoretical tier higher than even these three, and it is known as the Eleven Descent. These have never occurred, and in H.A.E's observations and research, are unlikely to ever happen, but relies on the possibility that one of the Eleven might eventually fall victim to a loss of control, power, strength, and then ultimately fall the way these lesser entities do.

THE ENTITIES || CULTURE SURROUNDING THE GODFALL

"Can you make a living off scavenging the godfalls? // Are there specific disposal methods?"

Due to the noted infrequency of larger Godfalls, the ability to survive off of the aftermath depends entirely on the willingness of a crew of Thronebreakers to follow the draw of smaller incidents. These Thronebreakers are often more akin to Exorcists, chasing off and destroying lesser spirits for their magical remnants and manifestations on the 'living' plane. Those who seek the grander Godfalls and the brutal fighting for magic, remains, and glory often supplement these pursuits by being sellswords and mercenaries in their off-seasons- things they can quickly drop and leave behind in the event of a proper Godfall occurring elsewhere.

This doesn't mean there aren't those who live off what they've managed to gather- or those who don't make use of what's already been picked over. Corpses are too large to be disposed of or harvested completely and therefore dot the landscapes they've fallen into, and opportunistic thronebreaker crews capable of getting along long enough to form a clan (or enterprising locals able to hold their own in a fight) quickly overtake the remaining bones left behind. Referred to by other Thronebreakers with seeming derision as "Bonesquatters" these crews often retire within the bodies they've claimed, building sprawling bridges and lofty cities between ribs using bones scavenged from elsewhere in the body, grand skulls used, almost universally, as a town hall or place of worship- though some become marketplaces for the clan that grows within- as magic can still be harvested from the surrounding earth for a time.

Presently, there are no known disposal methods that completely nullify the magic or prevent leeching into the surrounding areas and those who live within them. But as the benefits seemingly greatly outweigh the cons, most who pursue the godfalls would not care to 'contain' the high volume of magic they have access to in the aftermath.
