    This reminds me of an AITA post where a woman did volunteer work in some African country, and while there the people she was “helping” were calling her an Amharic name they claimed meant “generous one” or something along those lines. This eventually lead to her naming her baby that, only to later find out from the OP of the Reddit post that it was their equivalent of “bitch”.

    Why you should probably do some Googling first if you ever decide to give your kid some horrifically unique name.









  • For me I have rules I set for myself when pirating, and generally try to reserve it for if it’s something I’m unlikely to see or get otherwise (like how stuff is exclusive to a million different streaming services now, or older games that don’t have an official re-release) or there’s ethical reasons I don’t want to support it (Like some EA stuff and Adobe, though so far the only [arguably] accessible PC games I’ve pirated are the Sims 3 and 4)

    If it’s indie stuff and [non-text]books I try to avoid it if possible.
