sometimes I wonder why y'all are obsessed with specific characters and I'm like "why them" but then I remember that sometimes its literally not your choice you just look at them wrong and all of a sudden they're taking up your every thought forever

decentralize and clean up your life!!!
use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.
use firefox or librewolf (open-source fork of firefox) instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).
use mega instead of google drive
get rid of bloatware
use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite
get free stuff with the help of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH, r/piracy and r/roms
use trakt (for shows and movies), letterboxd (just movies), or TMB instead of IMDB (owned by amazon).

make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge

use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)

edit pdfs with foxit and sumatrapdf
download music with doubledouble

for android tv, use smarttube and cloudstream (ad-free, open-source)
change your OS to linux

removed proton mail and drive (AI assistant feature, claims of CEO Andy Yen supporting Trump, please DM if you have proof I can add here)
removed NCH suite (only has very basic free features, puts watermark on anything saved)
notes:
this post blew up while I wasn’t looking (the end of my semester was hellish, and i recently came back from a 3-week family vacation). thanks so much for all the suggestions! <3
i included Ecosia because of their financial transparency. It’s physically impossible that they plant a tree for every search, but their profits still go towards projects including reforestation and solar energy. i view their actions as a net-positive
feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3

genuinely so deeply evil that i now live alone and can't just come home to cuddle on the couch
#just finished adults (the fx show)#and seeing the five of them live together and display casual physical intimacy is making me miss my ex-roommates#living alone with no gf and no cat-like roommate and all my cuddly friends graduated or on vacation SUCKS#i think i am gonna get touch starved#tea talks

do we know or have screenshots of the very first interaction between both of them online?
we do! and i love it so much. i would just show you their first proper interaction, however it's much funnier to do it this way, so
on may 28th 2009 dan tweeted phil for the first time

and then he got ignored ❤️ so he tweeted him again

and then he got ignored ❤️ so a few hours later he tweeted him again

and then he got ignored ❤️ so he gave up for a few days, until june 2nd when suddenly, finally

rejoice! it turns out the way to get an amazingphil notice is to talk to him about horror movies! he's cracked the formula! and so, feeling brave, high on his success, he tried again when phil got out after seeing the film

and then he got ignored ❤️
