Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:

Replacing a HDD with an SSD

Adding RAM

Graphics cards if you're nasty

Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)

Customizing what runs on startup for your computer

Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:

Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin

adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading

Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too

Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:

Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.

Correcting disk utilization errors

Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:

Clearing cache and cookies on your browser

Restarting the computer

Changing your screen resolution

Uninstalling unused browser extensions

Things that do not actually make your computer faster:

Deleting files

Registry cleaners

Defragging your drive

Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.

This post is brought to you by the lady with the 7-year-old laptop that she refuses to leave overnight for us to run scans on or take apart so that we can put RAM in it and who insists on coming by for 30-minute visits hoping we can make her computer faster.

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

nothing in the new fallout show will ever have the raw cinematic power of this bit

[marlblair]

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

heterosexual cowboy

Doctor Who: Cessair of Diplos

Favourite Episode: The Stones of Blood (Only story)

Home Planet: Diplos

Scary Factor: 0/10

My Personal Rating: 8/10 purely because shes a bad bitch 🩷

(Please don't take these too seriously, it's just a bit of fun)

ok so I was looking at the list of conspirators for the assassination of Caesar on Wikipedia (not exactly super reliable but I’m gonna roll with it) and guess what I found

Peter Capaldi plays caecilius in the fires of Pompeii and at some point during the episode I think he says something about moving to Rome (but don’t quote me on that it’s been awhile since I’ve watched the episode). but, the most important thing is

THIS MAN STABBED CAESAR

And if Donna and the Doctor didn’t save him or his family, then history could’ve turned out completely differently because one person was missing from the let’s-kill-Caesar squad

I desperately want to know if this was one purpose and no I’m never getting over it

[marlblair]

My first attempt at text posts

[marlblair]

Hate to say it, but I feel like this is bollocks

Googling Capaldi and the quote comes up with a handful of Facebook posts and nothing else

#twelfth doctor #peter capaldi #doctor who #doctorwho #dr who

reading old messages is really fucked up because you see things and you’re like i would not fucking say that
