I want to improve my social skills. I thought by way of stepping out of my comfort zone. So here's what I thought:

Try and make conversation to a random person, location or occasion be damned, at least once per week. With saying more than two sentences be deemed sufficient. If the other person does not initially respond amicably (to the first sentence), I leave them alone.

Long story short I have an image I don't like but from another point of view I fit it perfectly. It's not really a negative perception but I just don't like I'm being shoved into a stereotype. It's even more infuriating when I try to do my best to not fit into that stereotype. But people still see me as said stereotype.

So what should one do when they have an image they don't care for? Should they try their hardest to change it? Or maybe something else?

Hey y'all

I'm taking a college course which is hell bent that its students use Windows 11. Currently my laptop is still using Windows 10 and if there is no bloatware/AI free way to install Windows 11, I'm just going to bite the bullet and install it the regular way. So if anyone knows of a relatively bloatware free way of installing Windows 11, please let me know.

p.s. For those who would encourage me to use Linux. For my desktop I already use Linux Mint.

Edit: Holy shit, this took some digging. But here is the source and proof provided by the waybackmachine: All hail to the internet archive!

For me it's Peggy from Mad Men. At first I thought she was going to be an annoyance but half way through the first season I've grown to absolutely love her!
