  • Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

    I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

    The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.


  • It is escapism. Romance usually has very few things that’s real. I mean that most romance stories are more alike to a fairytale than reality.

    Most movies and books are 98% predictable with the well-known cliches. And that makes them work. Beig wealthy is just an other thing that makes it going.

    Most girls were raised on the price charming idea, and a rich, wealthy and emotionally available person fits the bill.

    Reality of barely making rent and having no money to fix your car or even just daily struggle to find childcare for a date would break the dream.

    When you are watching romance you want the fuzzy feels, the safe environment that everything going to be alright and happy ending is guaranteed. Love, money, heath and safe environment - with tons of loving friends and family - now that’s what people want to dream of.



  • I have a beefcake laptop, that could fold into a tablet. But I still usually use it as a desktop computer: connected to all the periferials, speakers and a monitor, folded up to be a secondary monitor on the side.
    While I had some cooling issues with it (had to cough up couple hundreds for repairs) I am still happy with the setup.
    The phone is for during the day, some mobile only games and for reading books - tho I do like to listen to TTS when my eyes are busy.







  • Okay this made me turn off copilot. Here is the registry stuff to disable it:

    Step 1: Open Run and type regedit to enter Registry Editor.
    Step 2: Please go to this path from the left panel.
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
    Step 3: Right-click on the Windows folder to choose New > Key and rename this new key to WindowsCopilot.
    create a WindowsCopilot key
    Step 4: Select this WindowsCopilot key and right-click on the space from the right panel to choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
    Step 5: Then rename this newly-added value to TurnOffWindowsCopilot and double-click on it to change its Value data to 1.

    Then you can click OK to save it, close the window, and reboot your PC to check if you have uninstalled Copilot from Windows 11.






  • Isn’t it funny that this: “Society as a whole must be well prepared for crises — ranging from a pandemic, to natural disasters, to war,” she said. Became this: “Schools should prep students for war, German minister says”

    And to be honest, yes kids should be taught how to handle bad situations. Just like they need to be taught how to handle money, how to build a budget, how to handle their own emotions and how to see a clickbait from a mile away.
