Using they/them by default is already a good start - I would be surprised to learn if neopronouns are a thing at all in languages that don’t have gendered pronouns to begin with. they/them is perfectly acceptable to 99+% of people - both cis and LGBT+.

You can just say LGBT or LGBT+. Lots of others are in use but very, very few people will legitimately get mad at you for picking one over any other.

If someone specifically tells you to call them a certain thing, you should call them that thing. Otherwise just stick to they/them.

If someone tells you their sexuality and it is not relevant to you, you have no obligation to ever bring it up again, just as with any form of oversharing.

And as for why some people share these things even though you may personally find it too revealing - that’s just down to personal preference. Different things are important to different people in different ways. Some people might go through their life never giving their gender a single thought. Others might base their life around affirming and fighting for it in various ways. Most people are somewhere in the middle. Everyone has a cause they believe in a lot - for some people, this is that cause. As an “Aero Ace” (a term I had to look up - “aromantic asexual” for those who also haven’t encountered it), you’re probably pretty predisposed to not care about any of this stuff on any significant level.

So… The NO WAI Act?

I use 160g spaghetti with an entire 14oz jar of sauce, personally.

Cory in the House?

Literally none of this matters anyways if pennies are going, because making prices end in certain amounts won’t work as nice in practice as it does here for the simple reason that US prices almost never include taxes.

Yes but it’s not hooked up to cable or the internet. I just use it for the Switch, or I’ll occasionally hook it up as an alternate second monitor to my PC and play a movie on it. It hasn’t been turned on in a few weeks and the last time was to be used as a temporary monitor to set up a new headless PC.

Adding on to the reasons others posted: Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. If you take off a year for him, that puts an immense amount of pressure on him. Pressure to go to the same school as you, pressure to go to school at all, even pressure to stay in the relationship.

It’s always gonna be “They made this gigantic life decision to their detriment for me, so if I change my mind about anything and want to do things differently, like by going to a different school, or not going to a school, or wanting to break up, then I’m a huge ungrateful jerk.”

Putting that kind of pressure on someone isn’t really cool, especially if they’re actively discouraging you from doing so.

Given the specific names on that list, I took it as an awkward attempt to list the people they think are standing up, rather than a list of people they were admonishing for not standing up

Others have covered that there were internal supports, so they were supporting nothing at all. But let’s assume they weren’t.

I’m going for an intentional underestimate - so let’s say there are 10 people in your layer (I think 8 is more likely), then 24 above them, 18 above them, 18 above them, 25 above them, 14 above them, and 2 above them. I think most people would agree those are underestimates for each ring.

That’s 101 people being supported by 10 people. If we take another underestimate that each of those people weighs 100 pounds (45.36 kg) then that’s 10,100 pounds (4581.28 kg) - or 1010 pounds (458.13 kg) supported by each of the 10 people in your ring, completely ignoring the weight of the metal rings visible in the picture. So I think it’s safe to say it was mostly the internal supports at work.

Here’s a better article that isn’t as uncritically sensationalist.

tl;dr is that it’s basically just a gray wolf with 14 edited genes, most of which are from natural gray wolf populations rather than dire wolf genomes. The result is a gray wolf that’s visually similar to a dire wolf, not a dire wolf.

Honestly the worst thing about this equation isn’t the fact that they had poor typesetting, it was that they used decorative constants. The ε and φ values they chose just cancel out. The equation is equivalent to (xᵢ - mᵢ) / mᵢ.

Asterisks for multiplication are fine and normal and common in typed text. Where it’s unusual is in text that’s been typeset, where using things like asterisks for multiplication defeat the point of typesetting, It would be like going through all the effort to typeset an equation, but still saying sqrt(x) instead of using the square root symbol.

I’m a little out of the loop on how reddit’s been. Is blocking links to X officially no longer allowed there?

Is there confirmation that he actually specifically wanted that image off reddit? Or is this just someone making assumptions after the recent story about him interfering with moderation at reddit?

For anyone who didn’t click through to the article, here are pictures of the two posters in question. She wasn’t asked to remove anything else. The article made clear this wasn’t a situation where the school backed down after pushback, and that even after prolonged meetings and discussions with legal counsel, they’re still threatening her with repercussions if the posters aren’t removed by the end of the school year.
