hey can I tell you something. linux mint just released a big update. I know this because I got a notification telling me the update was available and I could install it if I wanted to. I didn't because I forgot about it, and lo and behold the update did not install itself or even so much as prompt me a second time. later I remembered and looked for it, it took about a minute to find and I didn't even have to look it up. It had a link to the page on what (exactly) was gonna change and was very readable and clear. I clicked the update, it ran a few things, then was like "hey I'm done, the update will kick in when the computer restarts". I went on doing my thing. when I restarted the computer, it ran a few things it normally doesn't and BOOM the computer was updated. I disliked it. the ui on the start menu was slightly different and the remapping software I needed to use my keyboard properly didn't work. so guess what? I went into Timeshift, a utility installed by default (but easily uninstallable!) on the standard Mint installation which saves a "snapshot" of the OS every however often you tell it to (for me, once a day), and told it to revert to my last snapshot. Tells me to make sure I have no unsaved work, then runs some whatever for two minutes and restarts. BOOM the computer is back on the old version, no huss no fuss no coconuts. the old start menu is back (it probs would've been easy to reconfigure it in the new v but) more importantly, my keyboard works exactly how it's supposed to again, just like that! and by the time the next major update comes out the bug in my keyboard util will probably have been fixed. and if it doesn't, no prob! just ^^^^^. or use a different one. or send a request. or find the command that makes it work anyway. less than 10 minutes googling easily.

the perfect gif combo

this is actually HILARIOUS because both domestic rabbits and domestic cats practice dominance-related social grooming but for wildly different reasons.

I got some Japanese posts showing up on my Twitter feed featuring Pokemon plushies dressed up. But it was like Conkeldurr with jewels on his concrete stacks and Hitmonlee in a dress and tiara.

when I was a kid I had an old tv in my room that would always turn to unwatchable static in the middle of shows but one night my sister and I were watching Naruto & every time Kakashi was on-screen the static cleared so we were like “hahaha the tv looooves Kakashi.”

I had a similar tv! It was a tv with a built in dvd and vcr because it was in college and I’m apparently old now. But! The dvd player never wanted to play- unless it was Chicago (2002). First, we would put that dvd in, let it start, and then swap it for the movie we really wanted to watch. It got to the point where we would put in the dvd we wanted and sing “he had it coming!!!” At the screen at volume. Fucking worked *every time*
