he absolutely carried Stargate Atlantis, it was weird to see him in Aquaman

Aquaman. the visual effects were ridiculous, the characters were one-dimensional, the soundtrack was...something, and the overall tone was that of a testosterone firehose to the face. i said the eight deadly words about halfway through, and i was thoroughly bored out of my mind despite action scene after action scene after action scene...the only reason why i didn't just get up and leave was because i was watching with a group

try $ sudo apt install akmod-nvidia. it's gonna pull in some dependencies and a proprietary driver, and probably break Secure Boot if you have it set up, but that's how i got it to work on Fedora (except i used dnf, of course)

this was on purpose. the World Central Kitchen notified the IDF about their movement, and their vehicles were clearly marked. there is no way this was an accident. the IDF purposely killed aid workers delivering food to Gaza. if this isn't an indicator of their genocidal intentions, i don't know what is

shit just went from 0 to 100 real fucking quick

for real though, if you ask an LLM how to make a bomb, it's not the LLM that's the problem

answering your questions as best I can (I'm a straight male too) in order:

  1. if he/him seems right to you, then your pronouns are he/him. if other pronouns seem right to you, then your pronouns are those pronouns. pronouns don't have to match up with your gender or presentation, go with whatever you vibe with
  2. when meeting new people, I give my name and pronouns. "hi, my name is salarua and my pronouns are he/him." of course, it's nice to give your pronouns when asked, but other than that it's up to you
  3. just including your pronouns in your profile is good. some people put them in their nicks, some in their bio or about me. if you have a Mastodon, Akkoma, Misskey, or Firefish account you can put your pronouns in your custom fields
  4. you can try and figure out other people's pronouns from how other people refer to them. many people will also give their pronouns if you introduce yourself with your pronouns. it's not a faux pas to not know someone's pronouns beforehand, although I admit I don't know a non-awkward way to ask someone their pronouns
  5. a good bet is to refer to people whose pronouns you don't know as they/them. if you mispronoun someone by mistake, quietly correct yourself and continue with whatever you're saying. "so after arriving at the office, he- sorry, they went to go see their supervisor about the presentation..." as long as it's not done out of malice, people don't mind being mispronouned if you acknowledge the slip-up and move on
  6. I haven't met anyone irl with neopronouns either. presumably people with neopronouns would go by them if they were among people they felt safe with. unfortunately most of the world isn't safe :(

i don't have one on hand, but it's a physical letter sent through the mail which basically says "delete the copyrighted data we think you downloaded or we're shutting off your internet"

downvoting everything i disagree with seems excessive and unhealthy, considering i can just ignore and move on. Beehaw doesn't have downvotes at all, reasoning that you can ignore it and move on or report it, and it seems to work fine for them. i do think downvotes have a use though, i'm just not sure what it is. what do you all think?
