Nope. We usually shorten the last name instead if it doesn’t roll off the tongue easily. Or we name them after a beloved fictional character, eg. jimbob.
redwattlebirdto Technology@lemmy.world•The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOfficeEnglish3·1 day agoYeah but my W10 shoved a giant full screen ad telling me to get rid of my PC and get a new one with W11 twice. Support might be ending but if it constantly nags you to upgrade, that’s just BS.
Do you not get mental health days?
My guess is that the American working system has drained so much from their working population that leashes are required because they have no energy left to pay full attention to their children.

Makes me mad, though, seeing that cunt pop one off like that. Bring him down here and he can do a 1v1 fisticuff against our red kangaroo. That’ll learn him.

In my country, if you deliberately choose not to vote, you get fined.
redwattlebirdto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•"This is so dangerous!", laments the woman driving directly into a Critical Mass bike rideEnglish6·10 days agoWho’s to say that they’re not doing both?
I sometimes go on these critical mass rides and I am heavily involved in the local council meetings here when they discuss infrastructure. Unfortunately, you have to be squeaky wheel in order to get the grease.
Yeah, people are trying to get home etc. But it’s a minor inconvenience compared to cycling on bad infrastructure.
Nope. Every once in a long while someone will say “Nice shirt!”.

I’ll bet they can. It’s just that most artists will say no unless they get paid. So, their business model, based on theft, is not sustainable. Got it.
redwattlebirdto World News@lemmy.world•Tourists from countries badly hit by Trump tariffs are staying away from USEnglish7·22 days agoA friend of mine should be landing in LA today. He’s a cis white man though, and I think should be fine. Hopefully.
However, for anyone not cis male, white and speaks English, I wouldn’t recommend at all. There seems to be a common denominator for anyone who doesn’t fit that profile… I’m glad I visited least year before all this shit went down. I would’ve been detained for sure.

I’m a few months into Linux Mint on my gaming PC and love it; 99% of my games work. The only one that doesn’t so far is FiveM but that’s because the devs appear to be very anti-linux unless you’re hosting a server.
