sometimes I forget that not everybody irl is as enthusiastic about hp and that they don’t know that today is james sirius potter’s first day of school, that it’s teddy lupin’s last, and that even though minerva mcgonagall is once again seriously contemplating retirement, she can’t but help smile tenderly as another potter and lupin shake hands on the first of september, so reminiscent of the other set of brothers who greeted each other in the same way all those years ago
Me, on a date: “So, what are your thoughts on the dress?”
My date: “Actually, I came here to audition for the role of Pluto and I will be singin-”
Me, immediately shoving breadsticks into purse: “I’m sorry I have to go home immediately…”
My date: Okay… That sounds fake but okay.
Me, gorging breadsticks into my mouth as I head out of the door: “Ugh these breadsticks are a beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure…”

Throw a list of the Zodiac signs as breadsticks in there and it will be 100% complete.
Me: This year I lost my best friend
Them: Quit telling people I’m- JOHN CENA

Windows 10 defaults to keylogging, harvesting browser history, purchases, and covert listening
By default, Microsoft gets to see your location, keystrokes and
browser history – and listen to your microphone, and some of that stuff
is shared with “trusted [by Microsoft, not by you] partners.”
You can turn this all off, of course, by digging through screen after
screen of “privacy” dashboards, navigating the welter of tickboxes that
serve the same purposes as all those clean, ration-seeming lines on the
craps table: to complexify the proposition so you can’t figure out if
the odds are in your favor.
Oh, and if you’ve already chosen to use Firefox as your default browser, Microsoft overrides your decision
when you “upgrade” and switches you to the latest incarnation of the
immortal undead monster formerly known as Internet Explorer.
For fucks sake, Microsoft. You’re not supposed to be a fucking spyware vendor.
Please spread this around so our friends using Windows 10 (or thinking about using it) will be aware.
I’ve fixed a lot of this stuff but most people should smell a rat as soon as a very capitalistic company decides to give out their OS for free. Dual boot Linux for safety friends :)
Some of this stuff is toggleable when installing but some of it is not. Also some of the microphone usage is part of the new voice features so that bit is kind of sensationalist. Go through and research what the features offer and what they require to weigh the pros and cons
