just spent twenty minutes scrolling the tag and giggling

Then you meet her ex. Ahem, ex best friend. Definitely.

And if Adora wasn't enough of a sapphic wet dream, here's the nightmare counterpart: the angriest, most vicious enemy you've faced and a smirking little shit who shows you up at almost every turn. You hate her. Right. Definitely. That's definitely anger you're feeling. And if you picture her in a sexy outfit every now and then, who does that really hurt? Surely you're not the only one who can't stop thinking about her being evil.

She crashes out, your mom gets stuck in an alternate dimension, you become queen, there's a bunch of normal drama and war drama and you nearly blow up the planet trying to beat her and you WIN but it doesn't feel satisfying because right at the end you see she's been broken and flailing from the start. You should have known, in hindsight, after what Adora was like. But it was easier not to think about it. You bond on an alien flagship and then she saves your life. You reconnect with your friends and go back for Catra. She's still Catra, but you know she can figure this out. And she does! There's a hiccup but she clearly loves Adora (and Adora saved her from death itself) and together their love saves the universe.

You're with Bow and Catra's with Adora and your dad is alive now? So that's amazing! But there's just. One small problem.

You live basically next door to the hottest lesbian couple...maybe of all time. They do not have a sense of propriety, (they grew up in BARRACKS after all) they are desperately in love, and they are NOT. QUIET.

So you get to die a little inside every day, because you KNOW Bow would be supportive and healthy about this because he's the most chill person you've ever known! The calming goat to your anxious horse.

i don't know how she managed to be so cocky and also get the last word in when she went on that solo ambush mission at the horde's outpost in the woods, yet finally folded only once they both returned there together as friends???

no need to pity her too much, though - she got what she needed eventually! plus, occasional polyamory is probably in the cards with all four members being down to share some nights!

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

I guess the original “Number Unknown” wasn’t good enough so they just quickly slapped a completely unconvincing bright red font version of it (without erasing the original) and didn’t even format it right lol seems very much like a sloppy editor fix

No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

*instinctively you flip it over searching for information*

Like Gastornis was thought to be a carnivore for decades and then carbon isotopes were like, "nah this thing was basically a giant goose honk honk".

Oviraptor was thought to be an egg eater, then much ink was spilled about whether it ate mollusks, and now it's thought to be an omnivore, but mostly a fruit/seed eater like a parrot.

Somehow this Adobe Stock image is the only art of an Oviraptor eating plants I can find. How is that?

And even birds with some teeth are getting in on these dietary mysteries.

Longipteryx was first thought to be a kingfisher-like hunter of aquatic prey, but it has since been found with seed contents in its guts, making it another surprise frugivore.
