Sticking kids with a name-for-life at birth is dumb. You don't know anything about them yet! People should have a completely disposable name at birth, be given a proper childhood name somewhere from 4-6 when they have an actual personality to go off of, and then they should pick their own adult name when they're old enough.

The worst part about every r/r post is the part where they come back to "clarify" things after the comments, and it gets more confusing and broken. Edit: OK I know it SOUNDS like I'm providing my baby cousin heroin so let me clarify, my sister another through a service I'm depensednelty gotten heroin, which is fine, but when OTHER sister sister got involved is when I wor

TIFU by accidentally singing a racist ‘Jingle Bells’ in front of a black friend’s family.quote:So, let’s go back to December 2006. A girl friend of mine, let’s call her Hannah, had invited me at her place to study and have lunch with her parents. They are black and came from America, but she was 100% born and raised in Italy.

If we can give kids old people names like Mildred, we absolutely can, nay, SHOULD!! Go back to poo poo like Mordred and Gwyn. Gwydre and llacheu are also Hella good names, and I feel like Welsh is honestly the best language for names. Name kids weird fun poo poo for their first few years of life, then when they gain sentience a little bit let them name themselves. Then let them name themselves properly later on, and once more in adulthood. Names should be more fluid and fun and not something I have to hold off changing until my mother died because changing one of my four names would break her heart so thoroughly I'd ruin my relationship with her forever. Because gently caress, it's just some noises you throw together who caresssssss. Stresses me out as someone who wants to have children one day, having to choose the correct and best name for a babby I haven't met yet, and both my partner and I already have so many rules about names that it's gonna have to be some mix of boring and weird, like a little girl called Richard or something. Because a girl has to have a unisex name, because sexism, and we can't name them too ethnic because racism, but we want to honour his heritage, and my heritage has the weird letters that English doesn't like, and it's all just such a fuckin headache. I wanna be able to name kids like I name my pets, with weird, fun sounding poo poo, that don't matter. I'd name a child Vinkha if I hadn't already named my cat that.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:Ive never understood why people say that politics aren't important enough to choose friends and family based on. There's a reason you only hear this complaint from conservatives. It's because their politics are garbage and everyone else knows it. Their kids don't talk to them because they can't shut the gently caress up about football players kneeling or whatever.

My name is the tag you scream to get my attention, I don't have a particular fondness for or against it. People used to ask if I prefer the long or short version and I'd say I didn't care and that seemed to bother them. Now I just say you can call me short version that's what everyone else does. (But I genuinely don't care.) Sometimes people I don't talk to a lot will call me the wrong name and usually I won't correct them. Some tell me that's a self-esteem issue?

Like one time my dad legit out of the blue was like. "Son it's okay if you're gay... As long as you don't get married." I think it's because I didn't start dating until college and so he assumed I just didn't like women(?).

The name thing is a big thing for me, because I , an adult woman, was given a very manly man name and even though my name is supposed to be unisex, it's definitely a man name. And it was weird growing up with it. It worked for me as I ended up looking for jobs in a male-dominated field when i was younger. And I will 100% give any female child I have a unisex name because the world is hard enough. Now I go by Fred, as it is the name anyone who's known me for any amount of time has called me since I was like 13 after a really bad joke my friends wouldn't drop. And it's a good measure for how much people respect me, if they call me a name they think is "silly" even though it's a real name. Names are stupid and I am scared I will go full Mormon lakynn lady about them sometimes.

It's another thing entirely if you just don't care which arbitrary mouth-noises people make to refer to you by.

Here's a short, silly one. American constitution as decoration quote:So this story is about a weird roommate rather than a bad one but I wanted to share it anyway. So I was away for the weekend and when I came back, I realized that my roommate had put some more decorations on the walls. When I took a closer look at one of the things, I realized it's the American constitution. This is quite strange because neither of us is American nor do we live in the states. Why does my roommate own a printout of the American constitution and why does he think it's a good idea to hang it up in the kitchen? I also think it's a bit rude of him not to ask me if he could hang it up in the common area but I guess he could have chosen way worse things😂

It wasn't related to anything we talked about that day. It's like why are you even thinking about this when sitting down for dinner with family you haven't seen in six months? I think it's because they're just always angry and always on edge, ready to burst, and they feel a sense of injustice and NEED to talk about it. On that dimension and that dimension alone, I can commiserate. If you start talking to me about how "cool" it is that some 7 year old opened a lemonade stand to pay for his own cancer care, I will slowly build to a boil until I'm screaming about the value of life and time in our limited existence and how humans are basically irredeemable monsters but we have to try to make things better anyway so it won't be that way someday. But yeah, no, they just get really loving mad at whatever their FB feed or Fox/Newsmax/Daily Stormer tells them to, and it'd be really funny if it didn't hurt people.
