Good. Let kids have their own identity. I've always cringed at the Ebeneezer Gortlegump IV's of the world.

What I have seen is it is much more common to have the firstborn daughter have a middle name of an ancestor, often grandmother.

Another excellent suggestion.

Yeah, Ripley being the ultimate survivor (until she wasn't, spoiler alert), but I know so many people that named their pet Ripley I felt Weaver was a better choice.

Ok my first suggestion got shot down. Here's my next best (serious) suggestion.

Weaver.

edit: yes I went with that on purpose instead of Ripley because I have too many friends that named their animals Ripley.

Fair enough. How about Randy?

It is, except for the ones that come with built in APTs.

Revenant.

She's gonna grow up and teach that pup a thing or two if she ever gets outside again.

(you can call her Rev for short)

There were plenty on both sides in that circus. I would say most of the blame is with AT&T though. When they bought Warner Media they replaced media execs with telco execs that knew jack shit about running a media business, and those execs ignored everyone telling them the right way to do things. Once you know about that, everything else makes a lot of sense.

I had a front row seat to some of these shenanigans when I worked adjacent to some people directly involved in the Warner Media spinoff from AT&T. The level of executive incompetence would astound you. Even if you have worked for other big corps and think you've seen it all... this whole divestiture was an absolute clown show compared to what you usually see coming out of the C-Suite. And AT&T ate billions and billions in debt for this. lol

Pedantry is definitely the best way to engage with rage bait disguised (poorly) as a showerthought.

He means nobody here fucking cares what the LLM made for you, and it’s definitely not worth sharing.

You’re getting downvoted by the people who have the expertise you claim to want. So pay attention and reflect on what’s being said to you. Otherwise what was the point of posting at all?

Pretty sure I dated you for a couple weeks last month.

No. I have a type and I'm not it.

We use Skype.

No you don't.

Counterpoint: It's like food, because it fulfills your need but it's only temporary. You're gonna need more food tomorrow.

Thanks, I have Xanax if I really really need to sleep for something that's going on the next day, otherwise I just deal with it.

Man I haven’t played Close Combat in probably 27 years but I instantly recognized that screen shot. Great game!

I still play C&C Generals and Supreme Commander fairly often. Not sure I’d call them retro but they are pretty old!

I definitely use them when traveling to get to sleep, but if I’ve slept 3-4 hours and get woken up, it’s over for the night.

go back to sleep

I don't understand. What is this magical ability you are referencing?

Gotcha! I always just considered it a genre of movies I watch, but of course there are as many genres of anime as regular movies have.
