To be clear, if your parents named you Christopher and you *go by* Topher or Chris or Rist or Stoph or any other part of your name--or any other name--that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm just talking about US parental habits and sticking kids with weird names (I know about this personally).

American individualism is so weird. We've got thousands of parents desperate so desperate for their child to be unique that they saddle them with abominations like Bradleigh and Topher.
Meanwhile the half-billion dudes named Ali seem to be doing just fine.

I'm on a lot of cat groups on facebook. I love when people post a blurry picture of a streak across the floor and are like, "This is George! I opened the door to take out the trash, and he shot inside and started eating the dog's food. He lives here now and I would kill for him."

Private equity investors are basically just muggers. Smug, ignorant fucks with no more business sense than any other thief.
Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens.
Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays.
Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

I really respect how much American corporations are committed to killing their customers unless absolutely forced not to.
Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.
Shutdown Deal Kills Rules to Prevent Food Contamination and Foodborne Illnesses
The gutting of these rules coincides with a huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

When you wonder where the Nazis got their ideas from… 🤔
![Men and women were compulsorily sterilized for different reasons. Men were sterilized to treat their aggression and to eliminate their criminal behavior, while women were sterilized to control the results of their sexuality. 1°1! Since women bore children, eugenicists held women more accountable than men for the reproduction of the less "desirable" members of society. '01 Eugenicists therefore predominantly targeted women in their efforts to regulate the birth rate, to "protect" white racial health, and weed out the "defectives" of society. 101]
The most significant era of eugenic sterilization was between 1907 and 1963, when over 64,000 individuals were forcibly sterilized under eugenic legislation in the United States. 102] Beginning around 1930, there was a steady increase in the percentage of women sterilized, and in a few states only young women were sterilized. A 1937 Fortune magazine poll found that 2/3 of respondents supported eugenic sterilization of "mental defectives", 63% supported sterilization of criminals, and only 15% opposed both.
[103)[104) From 1930 to the 1960s, sterilizations were performed on many more institutionalized women than men. 105) By 1961, 61 percent of the 62,162 total eugenic sterilizations in the United States were performed on women. 105] A favorable report on the results of sterilization in California, the state that conducted the most sterilizations (20,000 of the 60,000 that occurred between 1909 and 1960), 24] was published in 1929 in book form by the biologist Paul Popenoe and was widely cited by the Nazi government as evidence that wide-reaching sterilization programs were feasible and humane. 106]
