Ugh, it was in mine. It's off now.

AI is a freacking plague, I share this for any windows user.

phones love to go "do you want to clear up .3 GB by deleting these cherished pictures that you havent looked at in more than 30 days?" while also installing random apps and AI bullshit you didnt ask for. and you cant even uninstall half the apps

Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖

If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you

Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned

It’s kind of crazy to me how much Tommy erases everything else in Buck’s mind. Buck is honestly obsessed with him. I mean in the first episode where they meet Buck has just saved Bobby, a man he himself has said is like a father to him, from certain death and instead of rushing to insist he get checked over or hovering to make sure he’s okay (like Buck usually does), he’s lagging behind to make eyes at Tommy. 7x04 is then all about how Buck is thinking about Tommy all time. He’s talking to everyone about Tommy, he’s trying to get invited to karaoke and basketball games to see him, and when Eddie doesn’t take the hint Buck finds a way to show up where Tommy will be anyway. When he’s at Maddie’s wedding after someone else he loved almost died, he’s glued to his phone wondering when Tommy will arrive. When they break up he’s even more obsessed, thinking about him so often he has to take up a new hobby and talking to anyone who will listen about how much he misses him. And in 8x11, we see the true mind eraser powers of Tommy. Buck is down bad about Eddie moving to Texas, he’s been talking nonstop about Eddie to Ravi all night and then Tommy shows up and it’s like “Eddie who?” Ravi took one look down the bar and thought “thank god, the only person who could get Buck to stop thinking about Eddie is here.” Tommy sits down and all thoughts of Eddie are erased. Tommy is like “Eddie moved” and Buck is like “yeah but it’s whatever, anyway let’s talk about you.” They go back to Eddie’s house, where Buck hasn’t even started to move in yet because he hasn’t wanted to think about Eddie being gone, and suddenly Eddie leaving is no longer a thought in his mind, all he can think about is getting into Tommy’s pants. He wakes up the next morning to find that Tommy has already done some unpacking, and instead of freaking out about how that means Eddie isn’t coming back, he’s angling for a good morning kiss. Tommy brings up “the competition” and Buck is like “who?” because he’s forgotten every other person in the world exists except the man in front of him. Tommy brings up his jealousy about Eddie and Buck’s brain can’t even comprehend it, like why would he be into Eddie when Tommy is right there. Later when he’s talking to Maddie about it, Buck once again is only thinking about Tommy. He isn’t phased by the talk of Eddie, quick to say “I’m not in love with him,” and instead spends the conversation talking about what Tommy said, and how Tommy acted. The conversation ends perfectly with Buck saying I should call him and Maddie assuming Buck is talking about Eddie, meanwhile Eddie is already out of sight and out of mind for Buck and he’s back to thinking about Tommy again. When Maddie assumes he means he’s going to call Eddie, Buck is like “Eddie? Why would we be talking about Eddie, I’m obviously talking about Tommy, why would we be talking about anyone else?” I mean that’s crazy, your ex and your sister both ask you if you’re in love with your best friend, while you’re still grieving the fact that he moved to a different state and you’re like “who cares about him, fuck that, I want to talk about Tommy.” You could even argue that Buck is Tommy-pilled in the two part lab storyline where his whole team is locked in a building with a deadly virus and the US military is planing to leave them there to die and Buck’s like “I think this is a good time to call my ex-boyfriend.” Iconic behavior.

fun fact about languages: a linguist who was studying aboriginal languages of Australia finally managed to track down a native speaker of the Mbabaram language in the 60s for his research. they talked a bit and he started by asking for the Mbabaram word for basic nouns. They went back and forth before he asked for the word for “dog” The man replied “dog” They had a bit of a “who’s on first” moment before realizing that, by complete coincidence,  Mbabaram and English both have the exact same word for dog.

on a similar note, a traditional Ojibwe greeting is “Nanaboozhoo” so when the French first landed in southern Canada they thought that they were saying “Bonjour!” Which is fucking wild to think about. Imagine crossing the ocean and the first people you meet in months somehow speak French. 

Given that we famously don’t know the origin of the English word “dog”, I have decided to adopt an utterly batshit folk etymology conspiracy theory. As a treat.

For a while I just assumed that the English “potluck”, was derived from Chinook Jargon “potlatch”. Both describe comparable practices of guests contributing resources to a larger community-wide feast. But a little digging quickly reveals no etymological relation; instead of one, I got TWO! interesting linguistic insights into distinct cultures.

Done! It took me two seconds.
