“:(“ was my first thought. Then I was watching, expecting to see a note of sadness, and there wasn’t one really. I realised I was being patronising to this man by expecting one, as though Old Person is a different species to Person, with more fragile emotions and an inability to cope with minor problems! And of course…

I’m not sure the MASSIVE images of every single token is needed on the article! Other than that...good to know. I really dislike this idea by and large, incremental change is okay but going all the way and replacing all of them with potential rubbish like “hashtag”s and emojis? Eurgh. No. Stop.

At least it’s an actual name, albeit a Japanese one. It’d be kinda weird if you weren’t Japanese...

Kain is fine, apart from being derived from the accursed biblical Cain who commited the first murder.

I’ve got a kid on the way, and really, I shouldn’t judge at all, honestly most of the names mentioned on this list were some of the more tame/less obvious/more cute. I’ve seen a lot of names rise up on the popularity lists that seem so attached to pop culture that it kind of makes me sad (Daenarys, that sort of…

YOU may not regret it. Your kid probably will. Don’t express your love for video games through your children, they’re not pets or toys.

I guess this is more just my own railing against nerds letting the things they’re fans of permeate all aspects of their lives. Not everyone has to know you put 300+ hours into ff12 and because you spent so much time with it you named your kid Vaan

I’m still trying to convince my wife to let me name our future children after my favorite childhood heroes growing up.

I think a portion of those people are dumb too. I think there’s an ego thing that some parents have that makes them see a child as a thing when coming up with names rather than a person who will be stuck with this name on school rosters for more than a decade. Give them a meaning full name sure but it’s gotta be a…

You are correct in principle, but in the real world, its your kids that are going to have to pay the consequences for your decisions.

Apparently the good ‘ole lie to the wife trick (on the first day you have a kid together!) is alive in well in Texas.

A name is an important thing and having a kid named after a JRPG character makers these people look like fucking goobers.

I’ve never made tamales, so I get mine from Costco. (sorry if that makes me a bad person.)

Not just sous vide - but I’d be happy to see tamales being made using any method. BRING BACK FACEBOOK LIVE ‘17.

I am also not a pastry chef, but I’d like to humbly making another pan of brownies and layering both pans of brownies with some kind of stuff in between them such as marshmallow fluff and then just have diabetes but whatever it’s worth it

Hey same to you buddy

You’re also forgetting that those other shows are western made and subscribe to fairly recent trends in cartoons in terms of continuity and per-season showrunning. Whereas Pokemon is still fundamentally a late 90's Japanese children’s anime specifically made to advertise a separate, preexisting product. That’s why it…

So did I, and my stomach turned.

Take a resealable plastic bag, place it into a cup, and open the bag over the mouth.

Yeah, call it phony. You know what else is phony? When you tuck your kid into bed and kiss him goodnight like he's going to get tucked in and kissed goodnight forever, like everyone in the world gets a kiss goodnight from someone who's looking out for them.
