Eh, so long as I can make fun of them for not having the obviously superior English accent i'm all good. Best way to troll a UK person is to tell them the English are better than them.

Actually, the best way to piss us off is to call us english. Seriously, if there's anything that pisses off a Welsh/Irish/Scottish person it's being lumped in as an Englishman.

Though I suspect that's going to be such a problem in the future that there will either be "cleaners", everyone will have similar "follys of youth" so no one will care, or some over-saturated to numbness combination of both.

It's not like it would only be politicians. People routinely lose jobs to google searches of way more interesting, but unemployable people with the same name. Oh god, we're there, or close enough. Job hunting really sucks.

I'm glad that my name's shared with some ridiculously huge number of people, to the point where I've met 3 other people with my name in my home town. A google search of my name would deafen anyone with just white noise.

My last name is exceptionally rare in the US to the point I've never seen anyone not part of my family with it. I always worry about the google search thing, so I regularly google my own name to make sure nothing appears (and log in/clear out accounts on sites that do).

Thats the sort of bad that almost wraps around to being good just because it gives you something funny to talk about in the interview to break the ice and get the interviewer to remember you, which is frequently half the battle unless you're going for a highly skilled job

That said, my name is basically the most German name since the hall of mirrors meeting in Versailles and i do only go out for highly skilled jobs so anyone googling me is just going to give the gently caress up and talk to me instead. What im saying is consider the source

So you littered biodegradable trash onto a surface where rentacops may squish it and think it's gross. I used to do something similar; there were foot patrols of Maryland police that would gently caress with teenagers at our wannabe Atlantic City because honestly most teens there would be up to no good. So friends and I would spend five bucks on big packages of Boardwalk Fries and toss them around their parked cop cars so hordes of seagulls would swarm in and poo poo all over them. Looking back it was passive aggressive dumb poo poo but at the time we thought we were the ultimate pranksters because we were 16 and not very smart.

I gave up playing when I started to follow random players after being killed. They'd run around facing walls, not looking where they were going. All the while keeping an eye on opposing players through walls across the map. So much cheating.
