It is the first name of Vibia Perpetua, a pre catholic saint and martyr who is one of the “They were Roommates” historical figures. amedievalwomanscompanion.com/perpetua/
She is considered a saint of the sapphics and trans people, because she saw herself as a man in a dream.
BTW I’m not religious at all, it sounds great, starts with a V and the story is cool.
I dont have a problem with it sounding like artistic or a stage name. In fact would be amazing to sign the things I write with that name. So it can be my chosen and artistic name.
And im 25 so lucky for me cant be bullied in school lol.
And typical names are boring. Good luck im not having kids so I dont get to name them.
Valentine is like my main thing, you know? My dead name is a hispanization of Valentine or Valentinus. I’m really attached to it. I’m still not sure if I want Valentine as a middle or Last Name. If I get some other Lastname, maybe it would be Lovelace. Or if I marry my BF (In my country we can’t get married, so that most be done in another country), I would get his last name.
Cis allies usually put pronouns in their bios to show support and normalize the act itself of specifying then online. IRL since you are cis and I asume you look masculine there is no need to specify your pronouns.
Just whenever you meet someone and they tell you to talk to them in a specific way, just do it and respect their pronouns. Its easy. Most people dont care if you get it wrong the first times as long as you acknowledge your mistake and correct yourself, your brain will get used to it and you will not make the mistake later. That’s the different between someone who is learning and an idiot purposefully misgendering someone.
BTW if you arent sure about someone elses pronouns, just ask them. Easy.
Well, it is not as much as a “non profit fighting human trafficking” as they sell it. It is a tech org that sells facial recognition technology to law enforcement, that doesn’t really help saving kids, but rather persecute consensual and voluntary sex workers.
It is what happens when tech Bros want to try and save the world without really listening to the vulnerable people they are trying to “help”.
Now his hypocrisy was exposed for defending a convicted rapist because “he was nice to me” no shit Ashton, im sure Epstein was also nice to his friends.
I have a Thinkpad L440 that I use as a daily driver. I was looking for a laptop fan cooler, but I don’t know if a fan base that just pours air from below is the most ideal, considering that the hot air comes out of the fan from the left side....
Hi, thanks. I changed the thermal grease. I know how to do it but thanks for the detailed instructions anyway, would be useful for someone who doesn’t yet know how to do it. Lucky I still had a bit of thermal in a tube. For now I think is doing ok. Here’s a screenshot of btop while I was running Fallout New Vegas. This one and Spec Ops the Line are the heaviest games I’m playing RN, but of course I keep the graphics settings low. I see the fan is quieter having only my web browser open.
I was watching House M.D. and it showed two Italian brothers who were gangsters and involved in illegal activity. Like a crime family, Godfather type....
Reminder that House started in 2004, 19 years ago.
Im not an expert but I dont really think that the stereotype still holds up, like in a “A pizza restaurant in NY?, definetly a front for the Mafia” or knowing an Italian and immediately thinking they’re mobsters.
The great families in the US had a huge downfall starting at the 70s, and by the 90s they were no longer the big classical Mafia families.
Some of them crashed because of internal struggle, others by the preassure of their greed, and others just went legal.
Also the gov cracked down hard on racketeering and mobster activity.
The Mafia concept has evolved and they moved to other types of illegal activity.
But I think that most people when they think about Italian mobsters, they think about the Godfather, Al Capone, and the golden age of the prohibition and the 50s.
Hi, I was thinking if there is a gaming mouse that vibrates, like a controller does. One of the things I like the most about gaming with a controller is that. IDK, would be cool to have it in a mouse.
Recently I’ve gave up Windows for Linux and installed Ubuntu with KDE Plasma desktop on my pc and laptop from 2007. It’s an i7 Intel processor with 8gb ddr ram so I thought it would be fine, but it seems quite sluggish. What distro could I use that would be faster and still fully functional? Thanks for your help in advance.

I asked the guy who had Resolume on the computer if he had Ally, and he said no. Now, he was not very tech savy, maybe it was installed, but I needed to think about something right at the moment.
I’ll look at that codec. Thanks. Ill be useful next time.
I don’t really plan to use it on legal documents yet (it is a nightmare to legally change my legal name in my country), but it might sound better online and to introduce myself. I would appreciate suggestions uwu.
