You weren’t talking in a general manner, you invented a very specific scenario in which someone might want to change their name.

I wasn’t talking generally either: I was addressing the scenario raised by OP. Stop pretending I was saying something I wasn’t.

Oh so you’re completely ignoring the context of OP’s decision and pretending that I’m making a blanket judgement on all name changes, glad we cleared that up.

I’m not saying it’s disrespecting the family name, I’m saying it’s disrespecting his father specifically, and that’s fine.

I think the religious opinion analogy is slightly different, this is someone who:

1. Has a name that has an association to another person.
2. They don’t like the other person.
3. They want to change the name to remove the association.

That is a valid thing to do, but it is directly disrespectful to the other person because it directly expresses the fact that they don’t like them.

It is fine to not respect people based on their choices and behaviour. It is fine to express disrespect to people you don’t respect.

How is it not? If you change your name to specifically distance yourself from someone then that is a sign that you don’t respect that person.

Maybe you really don’t respect someone and want to show it, that’s fine. It’s ok to not respect a person if you find them unworthy of respect.

There are several valid reasons to change your name, wanting to disassociate yourself from someone is completely valid. For example, Austrian composer Thomas Wanker changed his name to Wander, more for practical reasons.

It is still disrespectful, I’m not saying that disrespect isn’t justified. My original comment was pointing out the cycle of disrespect caused by OP’s position.

I’m missing the context of people mocking the name, where was that added? OP only says ‘hates dad’s name’.

If people are mocking your name they are mocking you, changing your name won’t stop that.

Changing your name in order to disassociate yourself from someone (especially to a name from a TV show you have no connection to) is also disrespectful, does your argument work both ways?

Cryptobots don’t understand sarcasm

The cartridge is refillable

They also jam at every possible opportunity, the transfer belt stretches, the wheels and gears wear out, any stray toner will create smudges all down the page, and they weigh a tonne.

Do you use voice chats in the same way that Discord allows you to? Can you hop in to an empty voice channel without having to initiate an end to end call?

Not quite, he doesn’t demean himself by ‘buying’ anything, he just built a place where other people can buy stuff for a dollar and sell it for two, and Jeff takes a cut.

We’re not told much about the Independant Planets, certainly nothing suggests that they themselves did anything wrong (other than secede). You seem to have a problem with their superficial resemblence of the confederacy.

Mal and his crew are thieves and smugglers, not pirates or murderers. The ‘Mal is latin for bad’ line another commenter mentioned was a red herring in an episode. They aren’t evil people intent on subjugation.

There’s no indication that slavery was a factor, only political self-determination

Oh, I’ve not seen that issue but I’ve been playing it through proton on linux.

you have a build in light augment to help you navigate the dark areas. It is set at night after all.

This may just be a usecase thing, but what is the advantage of this over imagemagick? I can already magick photo1.jpg -resize 50% photo1.png and when the process ends it’s not constantly using resources in a webserver.

I also bought a lifetime Plex pass a few years ago, but I’ve migrated to Jellyfin because Plex is no longer a trustworthy project.

you’d be surprised how cheap a politician can be

I was arguing with someone else and you came in with a tangent so fair enough. Also, nice spot, clearly spelling is too much of a burden.
