@d_h_sanders They clearly don't think about other countries at all. As a child, I've had (educated) relatives send me gift cards to American stores as birthday gifts, despite the fact I have no access to them.

@smnqqqy @LRSerling It causes anxiety because of societal expectations. Normalising it removes those pressures. Non-offensive human expression should not be limited because it makes some people uncomfortable.

@mikitaposts My criteria for a child's name generally are: (1) be unique enough so that if they become famous, they will be the first result on wikipedia when their forename is entered; (2) be not intrinsically religious; (3) be regularly attested before 1850; (4) be from a language I use.

@Rx410 What's more likely: a Democrat votes against a bill that gives a Republican president power; or, a Democrat aligns with the far right against the Republican president on and only on one particular bill? Occam's law favours the former. (And the bill isn't even helpful to Ukraine)

@Rx410 I am not saying that. I'm saying that that is Ossoff's perspective, and even if I disagree, it is a coherent position to hold, and does not conflict with his proven record of consistently supporting Ukraine.

@Rx410 That means he does not support the bill. It has no relation to whether he "prefers no sanctions on Russia".

@nikicaga Imo fame doesn't batter for banknotes; if people don't know who they are, they'll learn. As long as they're an unproblematic person who significantly contributed to European culture, they qualify.

@FrankFWJH It's really amazing how each UK party is utterly dysfunctional in its own special way

@captgouda24 Of all things? It's one of the great French works of all time! It's actually a bit weird how it's become less commonly heard in the past half-century...
