@relsqui that was just a secondary idea.
I think that giving a child a common name could help obfuscate their personal history, making it easier for them if they want to drop off the radar for themselves.
I've got a bit of a common name, and I'm actually glad for that. Makes tracking me down harder for someone who would want to do that.
@relsqui I would do it to help anonymize my child.
My plan is, if I ever have a child, to give them a painfully common, but gender neutral name. (Like Alex or Morgan)
Then, when they're old enough, give them the opportunity to choose their own name. Go through with the legal part for them, too, if they like.
Too many children are getting hosted on pedestals for scrutiny under the state and everyone else of social media record they can even speak.
@fluffy my city has something like that, but with the bonus that the city doesn't actually have enough shelter beds, and so there's not actually anything they can do.
The signs make people feel well and fuzzy though, so that's nice.
@schestowitz on, don't you see, it's actually tax *avoidance* and that's legal, because they paid tax accountants millions of dollars to find the loopholes
@wigglytuffitout you have made a good choice.
@pepsiwolf hi, I'm a cat that's out to *break all the rules*
And knock things off shelves. Like capitalism. That's going straight onto the floor.

@silverspookgames I just bought Neofeud and I'm looking forward to playing through it.
@JohnBrownJr tell a capitalist there's enough vacant houses for every homeless person and they'll complain that this isn't fair to the people who own the houses.
Obviously, this indicates we lose wisdom as we age.
@homosexualdalecoopers ye got a square cash account, friend?
Paypal hates me.
@girl what's a screenshot dunk?
Is it where you play basketball with a ball covered in screen printouts?
Anarchist. Cat. Anarkat. White Cis Male. Don't worry, I'll die eventually. Polyamorous & pansexual. Sometimes I say dumb stuff. When that happens, tell me. I'll figure it out.
Location? Idunno. The walls are grey and plain, and it's difficult to get to. Could be a bunker. Or a suburb. Hard to tell.
I drive. A lot. Many attempts have been made on my life by whatever spirit is behind bad drivers, but I'm still around.
