It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He gave all nine of his kids names that include an X.

That's some next level narcissism and a perpetually juvenile obsession with a le epic algebra concept he never got over.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's algebra on the level of a 12 year old and he hasn't even understood it properly

X IS EPIC BECAUSE IT CAN MEAN ANYTHING AND IS INFINITE is like saying, in a statistics course, SIGMA IS EPIC BECAUSE IT IS THE SUM OF ALL ACCUMULATED DATA IN THE SET AND ALSO HE'S THE FINAL BOSS OF MEGAMAN X

Like the Omega Particle, except something way less exciting and a lot more cringe to freak out about?

Are you sure about that? I mean, he has don alot of shitty things and does more harm than good in my opinion, but there's no need to make up stuff.

His children's names are that I could find are: Griffin, Vivian (originally called Xavier, Kai, Saxon, Damian, Exa Dark Sideræl and X Æ A-12. Missing the last twins names since those are not public.

Exa Dark Sideræl

that is not a name you give a person it is what you name a boss in a final fantasy game

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very much agree. It's cruel to give kids these over the top weird names, it invites harassment.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Absolutely. There are certain types of names that should honestly just be illegal, and are in some countries. For me, as the level of weirdness goes up, it actually becomes ok and then not OK again, a couple times

From least to most unconventional:

  • Common names ✅
  • Uncommon names ✅
  • War criminal names ❌
  • Misspelled common names like "Gianathunn" ✅ fine but why, why??
  • Profanity or any kind of plain-language degrading like "fuckass" or "dumpsterwater"❌
  • Common names where you arbitrarily assign letters and claim they represent different sounds "Oh it's pronounced Johnathan, spelled like 'Pppppppp'❌
  • Common words that don't even sound like a name, like naming your kid fuckin "Best One or "And The" or some shit, so every time someone says their name everyone else thinks they had a stroke❌
  • Completely unique invented names that don't sound like any word ✅ Just typin out random letters like "Bandalagika" or "Diunchip" doesn't bother me at all because you assume it has to be a name
  • Literally unpronounceable names ❌ Fuck you

That's all fine, but you should make an exception and allow Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--. How else will we teach devs to sanitise their inputs?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That's a Yugioh card, probably

Vivian (originally called Xavier

The article says Jenna was originally called Xavier, where are you getting the info she changed it to Vivian?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Her name is indeed Vivian vivian-shrug

Her full name is Vivian Jenna Wilson. She changed all three names at once and got herself a new birth certificate too. Fucking brutal.

I did a bit of searching, although I admit I was not very thorough. Here was the best page I found

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Nah that’s enough. Also you can make up whatever you want about a billionaire, he’s not going to see it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this comment supposed to say that this is in any way reasonable?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, not reasonable! But it's good to have the facts right

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Whew haha, sorry, never can be sure these days

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
