And let’s not even mention the fact that there are countless other ideologies that also claim to be the sole truth, and which one you subscribe to is heavily dependent on where you were born.

We were hearing reports of children getting their hands on them

No you fucking weren’t, “think of the children” is just your excuse to outlaw things you don’t like.

For at least the last 6 generations in my family there was a tradition of sharing a first name across two generations with different middle names (so there was no actual Jrs). So like Robert James, Robert Charles, Charles Lee, Charles William, William Daniel, William Samuel, blah blah blah. My father was the second William, so to continue the tradition me or my brothers would name a son with our first name.

We all produced girls. So much for that stupid tradition!

You guys ever do any genealogy? There are so many places and times in history where women’s names simply weren’t recorded. Census records from the 1800s in the US are like, “John Smith, wife, 6 children 3 male 3 female”.

I would agree for jr and III, but I think by the time you get to IV like op you’re dealing with generational pressure just as much as you are ego.

So how come the rest of the planet besides America hasn’t transitioned to a single time zone yet?

Friend of mine was in a similar situation. One day she said something to him that made him realize he was literally the only person who cared about the age difference.

First sentence was a dead giveaway, I didn’t bother to read further

My guy, this was AI generated

So lemmings = people who want to maintain full control of their PC rather than relinquishing various tasks to a fancy auto-complete?
