mmmmmmm.

brief rape m?

Windows Defender is entirely sufficient as an antivirus. It's got detection rates comparable to almost all competitors, and it does so with less overhead slowing your system down.

it doesn't catch everything, though, hence the recommendations for those edge cases.

mind you, it works well enough and, if you're on windows 10, has updated virus definitions.

Kinda want to haul ass and make a cute dress tonight with some Starry Night themed fabric since I'm getting roped into helping out with the art auction tomorrow, but idk. I'm not sure if I'll have the patience to get it done. Plus for the actual auction helping, I'll probably need to be sticking to black or dark cors anyway if I'll be helping on camera (which I'm hoping I'm not), so I'd need to bring a change of clothes anyway. XP
Would it be worth it?

Also want to try to get some artwork inspired nail arts done too...

Derpy waddles in, proudly holding up a couple photos.

Ohman now I wanna go play Wild World again. ;-; Buuut my villagers are probly mad at me for not checking in.

Also when did it become September?!

Derpy gently pats your ankle. "Go pway! Your viwagers miss you!"

((Also, Derpy is totally a fishing pro. Our museum is only missing 6 fish, and they're not in season until November & December.))

BLAAAAAAAAH. So tired. Too much work to do, went several days without my medication because the pharmacy was out of stock, my wife has been out of town for two weeks, and my car tags are three months expired because of COVID-19 and a snafu with my tax assessment (I paid it but the DMV thinks I haven't).

"Doesn't catch everything" perhaps, but still catches the vast majority, and it catches nearly all of the stuff that's in active circulation. You absolutely don't want to turn off Windows Defender in exchange for some other monitoring system, and you don't want to run two monitoring systems at the same time -- that can in some circumstances CAUSE more problems than it prevents. If you want to have another virus tool hanging around, use it for on-demand full scans only.

yep yep.

the videos where two antiviruses catch each other, while hilarious, can have a lot of ram usage involved.

also i think malwarebytes had a memory leak a while back.

other stuff, but the main thing i've had to learn is that i can't solve every problem, and that's okay. if i can make the bad days a little less bad, then that's good.

I don't know how even with a mask, strangers who see probably over a hundred faces a day still remember me and specific details. Like my weirdness oozes out too much despite trying to be invisible.

I wish more people would wear masks out in public. There's still people who aren't..... x(

I wish people wore masks over their FRICKIN' NOSES!! >8{
>X[ Brush your teeth and bite the bullet people! Your nose is the GATE of your respiratory system! And you're leaving it WIIIIIDE open!

i get this! i had a fun interaction with a customer over the weekend. so we're allowed to gently remind customers that the mask should cover their nose too.

me, pointing to my own (masked) nose: i think your mask slipped off your nose again
her: i'm trying to breath here
me: i read in a few places that studies have shown the virus enters in through your nose more than your mouth....
her: *shrugs and finishes the transaction*
me: *sighs*

CB<
Ohhh, I woulda been all,
"I donated half of my left lower lung, and I can breathe fine."
x'D

Ahhh! I wanna spend $250+ on a Halloween costume that literally no one will see because I work the museum that day and I doubt we'll have many/any visitors, but would still be really fun to wear....
>.>

hahahah! that's brilliant XD

oooh, what costume?
i think this year i might be a witch. we look like everyone else... XD
