Something I am struggling with is some of the people being offered up either dont truly support UBI, or they have made passing comments on it. Example: Bill Gates has been noted saying recently he doesn't think it's a solution. Even though he has also been noted saying he would pay for it.
Let's not make the mistake of giving opponents of UBI the gift of falsely claiming support which isn't true.

I've been a namenerd for a while, but never really thought of my schoolmates as having particularly interesting names. However, when I tell stories from my upbringing to my boyfriend, he often remarks that my town has a lot of different names. I combed through my facebook friends list and compiled some interesting names I wanted to share with you fellow namenerds.
For context, the town is relatively small, very white, and very affluent. All of these people were born between 1990 and 1998. I tried to not include names that are obviously cultural; however, if I missed any, let me know! Please let me know what y'all think, I'm so interested to hear your opinions!

Trying to look at these names objectively, I can see that some of them are pretty different. However, it's interesting how these names feel so regular to me, having grown up with these folks. Let that be encouragement to anyone who is in love with a name but worried that it'll be too different.
This is just a causal startup conversation in these trying times we are in. Basically this is to kill some time by possibly finding some new movies or ones you haven’t thought of in ages. So for example if I commented Denzel Washington people would then comment their favorite movie with him. Plenty to choose from and maybe you’ll stumble on a title you haven’t heard of in a while (John Q fantastic movie).
Hopefully this will get some new titles for people stuck and home and are trying kill some time with movies.
I've been trying to get my friend Google's help for the past few months, but unfortunately I just keep finding blogs that list less than 10 extinct names, or I get results for "Names *about to go* extinct."
All of these blogs keep citing studies on name extinction (ex. on name trends throughout Chinese history), and they must have found their extinct name examples from somewhere, but they never seem to cite their sources. Where can I find a list of extinct names and/or surnames?
So, I finally decided to bite the bullet, and check into various google spread sheet functions. It's definitely as screwy as I imagined it would be, but I got everything I want to get working to work through some weird work arounds, and other oddities.
Anyways, people can now submit pets using this nice form: http://goo.gl/forms/E7UrKbFx2L
And people can view the new list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L8ElHR7Qm1aVaJvRGWb2lW66NLs16nu0x_ZzFQUlkc8/edit#gid=697951917
Let me know if I messed one of those two things up, because there is definitely a strong possibility that I did.
The new system prevents accidental deletions, and various other mistakes that I've had the joy of trying to correct in the past T.T. It also auto sorts new entries into a UC and a converted list. I did this, because the old list is half-full of UCs. Honestly, I never really wanted anyone to ever list UCs on the list, but just didn't mind if they were on there. But, now it's gotten to the point where the amount of UCs makes it harder for me to cross check the dream list with my stuck finds.
This way people can list UCs if they want to, but I don't have to be confused by them all the time (my brain functions poorly with clutter it's weird).
The new list also automatically sorts (or I need to fix something) the two lists first by species then by colour then by date added. This is going to make it so much easier to cross reference the list.
Anyways, I've started to move stuff over from the old list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T0VSGsUbxrY6AnQKBmjTJyDEwriY5zoV3DZPlVpFZqw/edit#gid=0 . But, I haven't gotten very far, and I didn't want to finish without having someone check to make sure everything was working properly. If everything is working, I absolutely love any help I could get moving entries over even just moving your own over. If stuff gets added twice it's not a big deal I can remove bad entries fairly easily.
edit: It's gonna be a bit before I finish adding things over. I'm really burnout right this minute, and need to sit somewhere quiet, and dark.
edit 2: The first edit was a filthy lie I didn't even take a break T.T
Edit 3: WE DID IT! Thanks for the help :)
(Comic-book guy voice) Worst cover-up ever!
I always end up looking for gifts around this time of year and think to myself, "Who did I gift that to before? Does this person already have this book?" But inevitably wind up looking at the list I've saved! Makes for an easy access and quick check just to not look like an idiot.
I’m sorry if any of my questions come across as ignorant or offensive, I’m just trying to educate myself.
Also I would never ask someone what their given name was if I wasn’t friends with them and had previous conversations/knowledge about their journey.
Edit: Please understand I am just asking questions to learn.. I like some people are becoming upset or just annoyed by my ignorance. I am asking here so I can fix my ignorance without hurting someone.
