I'm not making this up, blame the newspaper. It says such naming of children is relatively common in Latin America. Since we've got some of us from there, I guess we can refer to them for confirmation.
What happened?
Such a bad idea.
In Spanish, Vladimir (or Vladimiro) isn't a terribly rare name, Lenin is less common but still there (e.g. the current president of Ecuador). Hitler definitely isn't though. Also Adolfo is a reasonably common name, and not associated with Hitler (the good one nor the other one).
Basically:
1. Ted Cruz, who's running for re-election to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate, tweets a minute-long video of his opponent saying that it's wrong for an innocent person to have a police officer who lives in the same building as them enter their home without proper legal reason for doing so and then shoot them dead (and then claim it was an accident of mistaking what floor the officer was on).
2. People are like, dude, Ted, wtf, you just tweeted something in support of your opponent. Some people are speculating that this was to rile up closet racist types because his opponent mentioned that the police officer is white and the victim was black, trying to make this into a "#blacklivesmatter vs. respect for law enforcement" wedge issue. But meanwhile...
3. One person tweets "Maybe he attacked the wrong video", then corrects himself by tweeting "Attached".
4. I respond with "well, both"

I used to not believe people when they said things like "I don't follow politics, it's too depressing/etc".
That was before twitter showed me how wrong I was.
By the way are we doing a Halloween avatar theme this year?
We should. What should we do?
don't mind the 100% Orange Juice characters
I don't think I've ever ordered black coffee anywhere. Milk coffee or nothing. Plus, we have coffee at home.
mind=blown
I thought we'd just do "scary avatars woooo" but if there's a more specific theme anybody has in mind I'm all for it.
i can also change site theme to something dark. i think. i'm not sure if that option still works.
Yeah, but, fuck that place.
a) agreed
b) you're one to taaaalk~
As somebody greatly opposed to such changes I think I can live with it for a month.
It'd be fun to get a Christmas theme too, whilst we're on the topic. Something with lots of green.
Alternatively we could simply change the colors of the current theme, individually. UE would have to do that; there's no UI for me to do it.
It's also misspelled, apparently.
But... it wasn't just them, obviously.
also am I the only one doing a Halloween avatar thenthis store catalogue reads like something out of a videogame
with a starting price of the lowest item at a semi-high price (for a small potted plant at least) and then various things listed but sold out and then one super-expensive rare item labeled for sale at an insane price.

i should pick out a Halloween avatar.
edit: hmm, here's one. it's literally an official halloween pic for this OC.
just not a birthday pic though. there's a birthday pic; that's the one I'm using on HH.
I mean, both work for me.
Lately there's been this undercurrent of anti-fast fashion in the fashion media, but I think it's actually trying to cut at the good ready to wear lines out there that do business well enough in favor of luxury brands. Creating a dichotomy makes them look even better than they did before, I guess.
On my end, I think I'm going to go into middle-end fashion conglomerate brands, store-owned brands or other smaller stuff. Aside from Nautica (which I will always love forever) I haven't really seen anything from the big brands that has made me believe their stuff is any better in any way aside from like, economy-independent hyper-price tag inflation.
