PeriodicallyPedantic,

About to drop full release male v2.0

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Incorrect, you’ve always been cheating at the game

PeriodicallyPedantic,

The culture was no great loss

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Now you’re conscious of how your tongue is resting in your mouth

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Tbf they both lay eggs.

PeriodicallyPedantic, (edited )

The British call women “birds” sometimes. Idk.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I see what you did there 😏

PeriodicallyPedantic,

He’ll kick you apart, he’ll kick you apart! Oohh!

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Richard 😏

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Fun fact, the vast majority of the mass of a plant is extracted from the CO2 in the air, not from matter in the ground.

Trees mainly appear out of thin air

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Deviled eggs. And quiche.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Last I remember, serif fonts were easier to read on physical mediums, and sans was easier on digital mediums. Never learned why though so, grain of salt and all that

PeriodicallyPedantic,

🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 Dude became more hateful and delusional as he aged, he should have been removed from public life decades ago

PeriodicallyPedantic,

It’s the year 2024 and we’re still telling women what to wear, apparently

PeriodicallyPedantic,

This is why I wear cargo shorts

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I thought this was a picture of Neptune at first.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Is this the male equivalent of “everything’s a dildo if you’re brave enough”?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Dildo is the universal-equivalent

But you still raise a good point 🤔, what’s the inclusive term for people who wanna stick their dicks in everything?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

But then so what? It’s not like a pumpkin is invincible, she’d just be sitting there covered in pumpkin pieces, surrounded by animals, in some raggity ass dress. Not great if she is still near the castle, but not exactly the horror that the post implies.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

It’s was inside all of us all along

But mostly inside your mom

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Not the orangussy 🫦

PeriodicallyPedantic, (edited )

My only excuse is that I just woke up and my eyes were still bleary.

Wait… Does this mean we can get some Lemonussyade?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

you’re only allowed to have fun if we control it

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I figured it was a micro transaction game. This shit should be covered under right-to-repair.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this treachery

PeriodicallyPedantic,

My boy, you do NOT do Robinson dirty like that.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Oh no! I am forever shamed 😭

PeriodicallyPedantic,

They’re only stupid because you’re not used to them.

Some names in other English speaking cultures sound wild to us. Why should we care?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I mean, hippie culture used names like “summer” and “rain” which are bonkers but we got used to it.

I watched an interview with someone who was named after a car part and they said it was fairly common, but I can’t find that interview to figure out what country it was anymore.

Old names that span cultures often have wildly different spellings, or pronunciations that don’t seem to make sense in English (like pretty much any Celtic name). It’s one thing to appropriate that culture, it’s another thing to say that names taken or derived from that culture are stupid. People move. People have parents or grandparents from other places. I don’t think it’s reasonable to say the name is bad just because it’s spelled unusually or is something that isn’t typically a name where we live.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

God y’all have no chill.

I’d totally get it if you were complaining about terrible misappropriation of foreign cultures… But you’re all complaining about the name itself and the spelling. God forbid someone move from a place where that pronunciation is fine, or they want to pay homage to their Welsh grandparent or something. FFS take a look in the mirror, and think about the etymology of your own name.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Lol honestly I wouldn’t even mind. Where I grew up, that’d be a pretty cool name as a kid. Maybe not as an adult, but most adults I know can keep that shit to themselves.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Why is it better if a name is an English word? In fact isn’t that exactly why you’re saying they’re terrible names?

And it’s cute that you think those names fell out of fashion because they’re “bad” and that they won’t be back in a couple generation along with all the names that were popular at the same time as those ones.

In the meantime, why don’t we shit on names like “john” which is a stupid misspelling of the original Yohanan?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Like… I agree they’re bad. But mostly because people are just stealing little snippets of cultures they know nothing about, just to make their kids names unique.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with a unique name, but don’t make a mockery of another culture in the attempt.

But probably avoid names that rhyme with dirty words…

PeriodicallyPedantic,

That’s reasonable. Unfortunately the kid (and maybe even the parent) doesn’t know. They just saw it somewhere and copied it. Like all the “eigh” instead of “ey” is Celtic, but the folks naming their kids probably don’t even know that. As a result they make all Celtic names look dumb by association. That said, I love a good Celtic name, so I might be one of those people who’d do it 😅

You’re right though, people take names too seriously. As long as a name isn’t gonna rhyme with something nasty, it’s fine.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

You can’t imagine someone putting in that much effort.I can’t imagine why someone would be so passionate about making fun of someone else’s name.

Like… you’re saying “they might get made fun of” but youre the one making fun of them. Just dont. Idky, but it’s the people who are making fun of kids who are the most concerned that people will make fun of kids.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Damn well better pick a good one? If you don’t then what? Some loser on the internet makes fun of you or your kid? You think the kids are teasing each other when all their names are like this?

FWIW I think these people did put effort into these names, and in their bubble/micro-culture (which may not be the same culture from which they got the names), these names are great. Making fun of names is like making fun of clothes; at best it makes no difference and at worst you ignorantly insult someone’s culture and heritage.

I kind of agree wrt some of these names, which likely make a mockery of someone else’s culture - but it’s up to that culture to decide if they think it’s a mockery or not.

So you’re free to do call these names and parents stupid, but then people like me will be there pointing out that, unless you’re from one of these cultures, you’re at least as stupid for making a stink about it.

But like you said, a mountain of a molehill on both sides.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

You’re policing what makes a “good” name, which is just such a dumb thing to do. Like being style police.

We’re not talking about naming kids after monstrous acts, we’re talking about adding a couple extra letters to their name. Get a grip.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Youre not getting it. There is no arbiter of what makes a shitty names and if there was you’re not it.

You think names like Bryan are shitty, where they think names like Brian or John are shitty.

Who is right? Nobody or everyone. You’re not making a point, you’re complaining about the taste of someone you know nothing about.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I keep arguing because you seem to keep justifying making fun of people’s names, which is just such a wild take

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Wait… Who is “it” in “it’s CEO”??? Which CEO has ties?

I guess I’ll have to actually read the article.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

It was the other company CEO with dubious ties.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I can fix him. He’s already a family man, how hard can the rest be?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Was this picture captured with a potato? Why is he holding a slimjim like that?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Get swole

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I think that getting over 1Gbps on your phone is pretty uncommon. There is no way you’re gonna max out your wan bandwidth. Maybe if both the device and the AP have 4x4mimo wifi6, but how common is that configuration?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

So it’s still pretty amazing that he’s getting 1.3gbps on cave WiFi 😜🤣

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I just saw the total eclipse today and I take back what I said. The difference between a sliver of sun, and totally, is crazy.
