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.

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!
The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.
This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.
Here is a short and easy video showing this in action
The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.
You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.
If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!
I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.
If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

hi! i really appreciate the advice you share; both what you communicate and the way you communicate is super helpful. i was wondering if you had any tips on packing to move/general moving tips? my husband and i are currently in the process of moving between states and it's the first time we're doing a major move like this - and i'm sure we'll get ourselves where we need to go, but as with everything in life i'm sure there's skills and crafty ways of doing things that we just don't know due to inexperience. we're leaving alaska with cats & don't want to subject them to air travel, so we're going to be going through canada in a car with everything we need for in the short term & shipping the rest.
& i know you get loads of asks, so if this one is one you haven't the time or interest to answer, here's wishing you & yours the absolute best!
OKAY I don't know a bunch about a long move like that, but here are the things I learned in my recent state-to-state (2020, 2021) and around-the-corner (2022) moves.
Make sure that the utilities are turned on by the time you get to your end location. You don't want to move a bunch of boxes and then find out that you can't turn on the shower or that if you do it isn't hot.
Know whether or not there will be lights when you get to the new location. If you aren't sure, pack a couple small lamps that will go with you.
If you're packing a pod, try to group stuff by what room it's going into. Kitchen stuff with kitchen stuff, etc, and pack it (mostly) in reverse order of distance. So if you have to walk further from the pod to your bedroom than from the pod to the kitchen, put the stuff that goes to the bedroom closest to the front so that you aren't exhausted by the time you have to haul stuff the furthest.
This should seem obvious but sometimes it isn't: write what room things *came from* as well as what rooms things *go in* on the boxes. So if it came from your hall closet junk drawer but you're planning on putting it in your new office, write both of those on the box so that you will be better able to visualize what's in the box based on where it came from. Also, write things big, and on multiple sides.
Use your towels to pack your dishes. I used a big rubbermaid tote to pack all my dishes and most of my towels and it was heavy as fuck but when I got it to the house it was so nice to have all my clean dishes and towels together because it wasn't like the towels were going to make the dishes dirty or vice versa. And it saves you money on bubble wrap or packing paper.
One of the things you should pack closest to the entrance to the pod is a trash can full of cleaning supplies. You may think "I don't want to pack this half-used bottle of dish soap or two rolls of toilet paper that are left in the bag, I'll get new stuff when I get there." That is the devil talking. Fill up your trash can with bin liners, paper towels, dish soap, toilet paper, scrubber brushes, spray cleaner, and put a broom and dustpan nearby and have that be the first thing you unload. Moving is dusty and grimy and sweaty and you will want to be able to wash your hands and wipe down surfaces. Unpacking boxes generates so much trash. Also all of that shit is way more expensive than you think it is when you have to buy it all at once and as it turns out a half-empty bottle of dish soap and a quarter-full spray bottle full of 409 are lighter than full ones. This trash can should also have: Boxcutters, Packing Tape, Sharpies, and scissors in it. Also pack your tool box and a step ladder close to this. And you may want to have some lightbulbs in the trash can.
If you are moving books, you want several small boxes instead of fewer large boxes.
Are you up to date on your tetanus shots? If not, get them taken care of now, before the move, because unpacking boxes with a sore arm sucks and you are probably going to get scraped to hell and back by items of questionable provenance as you're loading and unloading.
Pack a "first night" box - depending on whether you or the pod will get to the location first, pack it with you or the pod. This should be stuff like cups (DRINK WATER. HYDRATE. YOU ARE GOING TO BE THIRSTY), snacks (chips and crackers and maybe candy or beef jerky. POP TARTS. Shelf-stable food, that will replenish your sodium and give you calories to keep your blood sugar up until you figure out meals, basically - you're going to be hungry and you are going to need something to eat onhand because you're moving to an unfamiliar area and you should have a snack while you figure out where the local grocery store/pizza place is), clean underwear and pajamas. You want to pack a big box full of all the things you're going to use to be nice to yourself at the end of the first day of unpacking. You may want to put some chemical ice packs, blister cushions, a first aid kit, painkillers, and booze in there too.
BEFORE YOU GO make a list of the new local places you'll want to know about. Search the area ahead of time and write down the addresses and phone numbers of local pizza places, hardware stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. Moving to a new place is disorienting and it's better to know the location of the nearest grocery store before you go than it is to try to find one once you're there, and it's MUCH better to just be able to call the take-out place whose number you've already written down and whose menu you've checked out than it is to go "....okay does this town have a Thai restaurant?" once you're there. Actually, here's a list. Write down the address and phone numbers of the following: - Nearby Pharmacy - Nearby Hardware Store - Nearby Restaurants you want to try (and menu items you want to try from those restaurants!) - Nearby Urgentcare - Nearby Hospital - Nearby Grocery Store - Nearby Discount Store - Nearby Veterinarian - Phone numbers of any service or utility providers you're going to be using - Local branch of your bank
If you have never lived in this place before, it is going to be confusing and disorienting for a while. You're not going to know local landmarks, everything is going to seem *really* far away the first time you go there. Once you get to town, when you find you have downtime, go to the places on your list. Drive by the bank on the way to the grocery store. Get lunch out at a new restaurant on the way to the hardware store. Figure out where there's a local park and go there once a day. Go to the same places three or four times until you start learning where they are in relation to your new home, this will help to orient you to the area and make everything less exhausting.
Your cats are probably going to be confused and mad at you. Make sure that you and everyone else unpacking has a plan to keep the cats contained while doors are opened; the cats will be happier about not being subjected to the chaos of furniture moving and vacuum cleaners and you will be happier if you're not worried about your cats trying to make a run back to Alaska. Put your cats in a smallish room that you won't need to use constantly (a bathroom or closet is probably a good idea) and don't let them out unless you're sure the doors to the house are closed and there's no chance of an escape.
Prepare for the weather where you're moving. You may need to hydrate more, or to buy cooler clothes, or to make sure your cats have more access to water or a cooler hangout place (or a warmer hangout place!). What's the average temperature in your new home in the month you're moving. How do you currently dress and act when you're in temperatures like that? Prepare accordingly.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head that I figured out that isn't in every single standard moving guide. Trashcan full of cleaning supplies, know where the local food is, pack snacks to have in the house, pad your dishes with your towels, contain your critters, get a tetanus shot, and books go in small boxes.
Good luck!
my toxic xennial trait is that i believe something should either be software (in which case after i download it i shouldn't need to be connected to use it) or a web page (which shouldn't require me to download anything to use it, however badly, in a browser). fuck your mandatory single function constant connection apps

[ID: A four-and-a-half star review of "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" by ankle-beez on Letterboxd that reads, "why did dreamworks make puss in boots 2 one of their best animated, thematically/emotionally powerful, well-written, all around best films. i mean im not complaining, this absolutely ruled but what the fuck got into the production of this one"]
Hey just a reminder that thought crime doesn’t exist and pretending to have empathy is just as good as having it! You can be the world’s biggest dickhead in the privacy of your own mind and as long as you’re outwardly kind it literally Does Not Matter
