  • Everyone should be using the Facebook addon "Facebook Purity" if they are still using the platform. I've been using it for over a decade and I can't stand using Facebook without it…

    They are always a few steps ahead of Facebook and work well with other blockers.

    Not only that, you can block specific parts of Facebook, not just the adverts. You can block the shorts, people you know, groups, keywords, and even whole topics.

    You can change settings, like how you see your feed and it will stay changed.

    Changing the font size, type, spacing in addition a bunch of color and night mode options are just icing on the cake.

    In my professional opinion, it's the only way of working with that platform is not harmful to one's sanity.






  • WUB or Windows Update Blocker.

    It's one of the first things I put on a new after the initial Windows update.

    It safely turns and completely turns off Windows updating and the services involved with updates.

    It's practically a necessity if you use a metered or paid internet connection, or connect your laptop to a cell phone for an internet connection via a hotspot.

    Windows doesn't listen to its own settings about metered connections and if it deems something worthy of killing your data plan for the month, it'll do so without your knowledge.

    The best part is that when you're ready to download critical updates or something from the Windows store (Whatsapp, Minecraft, Power Tools, etc.) then it's as simple as a button press to reactivate updates without restart.

    If talking with a woman and she asks you to rate her:


    "Hmm, let's see 9.5... nope, wait, hold on,..."

    Fix a hair on her head or move your head around like you're looking at the Mona Lisa

    "Nope, 10 out of ten. Absolute perfection."

    Then smile, and look her in the eyes (or forehead if you're shy)


    The touch will help increase intimacy level, but if you lean in and she leans back, then you don't have permission to touch her then do the head bobs like you're examining a really nice piece of art.

    Bonus points: Make sure you look her up and down with your eyes as she's unconsciously seeing that you're looking at her whole picture.

    At least that my default on how I handle questions like that.
