I don’t wanna clean up the kitchen… But I really should…
Have you ever had to clean up your own vomit off the floor?
Yes (multiple times)
Yes, once
I've thrown up on the floor, but no, I wasn't the one to clean it up
I've never thrown up on the floor
I don't remember

The UK is so fucking bad right now. Multiple hotels being used for asylum have been set on fire, poc have been beaten and stabbed, mosques are being violently targeted, and riots have started in multiple cities. I know there's a lot going on in the world right now but if you live in the UK, please check the stand up to racism website for any counter protests or calls for protection, and if you don't, they have a gofundme to help fund their efforts. If you can't donate, please just be aware that this is happening because I feel like nobody outside of the UK even knows this is going on
Eugenics
I just felt these tags were too important not to add @blacksasuke
The particular segment of medical racism that says ‘Black people are built tougher’ is a great example of why ‘positive’ stereotypes don’t exist.
It's the way black people are thoroughly explainingbhow stuff like this gets us killed but there are still non-blacks wandering around in the notes citing janky ass studies and debunked pseudoscience
whens the last time you saw a wild* (NOT feral)** animal in person?
I have seen one today
I saw one yesterday
I have seen one within the past week
I have seen one within the past month
I have seen one within the past year
It has been over a year since I have seen one
I have never seen a wild animal (???)
*wild meaning a non-feral, non-domesticated animal, which is not within an enclosure such as a zoo, research center, etc.
for example, seeing a coyote in your backyard is seeing a wild animal. seeing a cougar in a zoo is not.
**feral animals are animals such as cats, pigeons, dogs, chickens, hogs, and other animals which are generally domesticated.
for example, seeing a feral cat in your local park is not seeing a wild animal.
Non black people, when singing along to a song and the n word is used, do you say it?
yes
no
depends (on what?)
I'm black/results
As a non black person, I'm genuinely curious as to everyone's thoughts as long as they're respectful of course.
Yo, this might be a joke but speaking to you as a social worker who has worked in housing and homelessness services and food banks?
Food pantries are a punch in the nuts to your pride but they require WAY less hoops to jump through to get than the financial side of housing assistance. Also, there is often going to be MORE RESOURCES AVAILABLE for you when it comes to food assistance of MULTIPLE TYPES (food stamps/ebt, places that double said EBT, food pantries, places that just give away free food like soup kitchens, places that give away their leftovers from the day before etc) rather than housing assistance which are neither numerous nor are people likely to apply for.
I personally have used food pantries. I may have to use them again. They are there to help you for that reason, okay? Please fucking choose to pay your rent until we can abolish landlords and live on mutual aid.
Stay housed. Do you hear me, if this choice happens, seek mutual aid or charity for food and STAY HOUSED. Statistically, it is better to take the hit to your pride, go ask for food assistance, and sleep in your bed and eat that food in your home because coming back from losing said home is going to be so much harder that recovering from food insecurity is.
ITS FUCKED UP THAT WE HAVE TO CHOOSE BUT PLEASE TRUST ME ON THIS ONE OK? JUST TRUST ME.
(Also your friends are more likely to be able to help you with food than they are with rent. Just truth.)
The following counterprotests have been listed by Stand Up to Racism for the next week:
Monday 5th August
Wednesday 7th August
Thursday 8th August
Saturday 10th August
Also please consider donating to the following fundraisers to support those affected by the riots.
Now, more than ever, it's imperative that those of us who can take to the streets and show the emboldened British right that their Islamophobic, racist vitriol has no place in the UK.
The previous counterprotests in Cardiff, Bristol, Liverpool and Nottingham have seen mosques protected, riots quelled and fascists marched out of town and the push needs to continue. Every person present makes a difference. Every voice is another drowning out the hate.
We all know this site is US-user heavy, but I wanna know how many are vs aren't from the land of capitalism.
If we gerrymander this, we can outvote the Americans. Only reblog this if you're not American. Reblog while they're asleep.
that's not gerrymandering
this is gerrymandering
Are you American?
No, I'm from literally anywhere else
Yes, I'm from the North
Yes, I'm from the West Coast
Yes, I'm from the Mid-West
Yes, I'm from the South
Yes, but not from the continental US
Yes, I'm from a different region than those listed here because you just-
-googled american regions and got very confused by all the different graphs
reblog to outvote the americans!
White supremacist riots! The most evil, terrifying white supremacist riots and we are just watching? White people are burning homes and businesses, throwing acid on people, violently beating and stabbing people, they are enacting pogroms on muslims and the state won’t step in and stop this!
That's something we can answer, at least:
the crowdstrike catastrophe is getting resolved but the intel 13th and 14th gen CPU nightmare is just beginning. damn
basically: a significant number of the past few years of intel CPUs are almost guaranteed to die due to a manufacturing error. it is just a matter of time. and then they will break.
how many are affected, you might ask? intel says shut up. how can you tell if your CPU is going to die? go mind your own business. is there a recall? absolutely not. what can you do about it when your shit breaks? go fuck yourself is what
to find out what gen intel cpu you have (on windows, idk how to do this for mac or linux, i'm sorry) go to your start or search menu and type in device manager:
In device manager, look up processor:
Mine is a 12th gen, so I am safe from this bug.
Now, I haven't had a chance to watch the videos, so sorry if I am reiterating things here, but because some people learn better with text:
How to read intel CPU product labels for intel CORE processors (this is the most common intel cpu you are likely to find for home pc and laptop builds, their other cpu product lines are more for servers and ai and people who still use 32bit OSes, which are largely obsolete now):
the first letter number combo is always i and either no number, 3, 5, 7, or 9. The number refers to the amount of cores a cpu has. In general, more cores, faster cpu. (there are other things that affect cpu speed though, mostly clock speed. This is usually listed in ghz on the product page, but it's not relevant here to determine if you have one of the unlucky broken cpu models.)
In this example, I have an i7, which has more cores than an i5, but less than an i9.
The first 2 numbers after the i number is usually what generation you have. Sometimes, depending on how old your cpu is, it's only the first number. Mine is a 12, so I have a 12th generation cpu.
The numbers after that are the SKU numbers and largely are not important.
The letters determine if your cpu has onboard graphics or needs a discrete graphics card, and if it comes with a cooler/can be overclocked. (i personally do not recommend overclocking because a lot of software isn't really designed to support it and it can cause problems) If it has an F, it means you need a separate graphics card. If it has a K, it means you can overclock it, and also that it does not come with its own cooling.
Laptop cpus almost always will come with their own cooling because laptops get really hot and cooling in laptops is kind of abysmal to begin with.
If you have a LAPTOP, and your intel cpu is 13 or 14, you will have to replace the ENTIRE LAPTOP. start making backups of all your important information ASAP. Due to how laptops are constructed, you cannot replace a single part, you have to replace the whole machine. If you have a PREBUILT desktop, if you can figure out what motherboard you have, you may be able to buy a replacement cpu. If you build your own desktop, you are definitely able to replace your cpu.
A cpu is attached to your motherboard - if the cpu fries, it can also damage your motherboard as well, so if it's at all possible, and you're ended up with one of the broken cpus, I would look into replacing the motherboard as well. (Again, if you have a laptop, you need to replace everything. Sorry.)
there ARE a few laptops where you can replace the CPU, like framework, but for 99%, yeah. SOL. if you do not already know whether the CPU can be replaced on your laptop, it almost definitely can not be replaced.
back your stuff up!!
