Is there any way to let the producers know that the LT at the end of an Acadian name is silent? It's just pronounced Am-er -oh , not Am-er-alt .

Some of the season 3's many timeline problems involve Richard. And why is Miriam's last name changing from Sullivan to Hodges?

In P7, when Andy went to interview the farmer whose truck had been used in the hit-and-run, his watch showed it was 10th of an unknown month. This was nowhere near the days that were otherwise shown or implied for the main storyline, extending from about September 20th to October 2nd, 2016.

In P12, Miriam, lying in hospital later as she had been beaten badly by Richard for witnessing the incident, had date September 24th, 2015 on her hospital monitor (which also showed "Henry Lawson" as her name).

How does this add up? It seems as if we were meant to date this storyline to some other period of time and explain some inconsistencies that this would create.

Before killing the boy, we never saw Richard in a scene that couldn't have happened at some other time than the main storyline. He visited the Roadhouse, met with Chad, strangled Charlotte, saw Red and then drove off. None of that got firmly dated anywhere.

In P10, apparently very soon after killing the boy, Richard visited his grandmother and robbed and assaulted her. The scene was also not dated or tied to anything specific.

Later in P13, Richard showed up in a rather peculiar location dubbed as the Farm, aligning his story with that of Mr C, but how much time had passed between that and the last time we saw him was left unclear. The Farm itself and Mr C surviving certain death before arriving there also implied that they were in some other world by then.

In P6, Carl Rodd saw the mother and the killed boy shortly before the incident in the park. Again, the scene was cut off from the rest of the story.

Elsewhere, in P6, Miriam was at the RR Diner in a very sunny scene buying two cups of coffee she seemed to be carrying while witnessing the boy getting killed in the same episode. But did anything in that scene connect it to late September 2016? Was it also from some earlier date? We glimpsed some of the Diner staff there, but otherwise it didn't get dated or tied up to anything specific.

There was, however, a scene in Ben Horne's office in P12 that seems to explicitly and inexplicably tie both the hit-and-run and Miriam's hospitalisation to the end of September 2016 as Ben and Sheriff Truman chatted about both and the green key, recently sent by Jade to the hotel, changed hands.

I picked this name because I was able to form it by rotating two letters and removing one letter from my male name. The feminine versions of my male name aren't that great in my opinion, but I still feel that a somewhat similar name gives a sense of continuity. It has been a year since I picked this name, the longest I have settled on a name, so chances are it will be the one that becomes my legal name. I like it because it isn't very common and I don't have any female friends, family, or acquaintances with this name. What I don't like is that I think it sounds foreign. When I search the name, most women with it that I find seem to have either a Middle Eastern Jewish (she was the sister of Moses) or Latina background, which I have neither.

I had previously considered Deanna, Diana, Lillian, Liana, Jessica, and Nadia. I felt like these names didn't fit me so I didn't feel as committed to them. Some are similar to names of female family members, which made me feel like I was picking a name to blend in. Some were names of girls I had crushes on, which seemed creepy after I thought about it. One of them I associate with how awful I looked and felt the first few times I cross dressed.

Ok, you apes got me all riled up now after the positive reaction to my last post (Ref Boys Club Part 1) so I've decided to keep digging.

Let's start with Our New Super Villian Michael "Milky" Milken:

Disclaimer: I'm Irish and have no real interest in American pol itics, so I know once I mention this shit's gonna get political, but lets try and not...

We're all Apes, we're all here for the Stonk... not for Poli tics.

So... TR UMP pardoned this guy on 18th Feb 2020.

What struck me about this, was that he had 33 people lobbying Tr ump to get his Pardon. (Ref New York Times)

Now, when you click on the link to get the White Houses statement on who these 33 people are, it brings up a 404 error... The statement no longer exists!

But luckily, this Ape has heard of the way back machine!

So using the way back machine, we can get the 33 names. (Ref Wayback Machine)

• Sheldon Adelson - Tru mps Largest Donor, Casino Tycoon, 28th Richest Person in the world

If you want to know the meaning and origin of a name, be careful with your sources. A lot of naming websites and books have information that ranges from incomplete to creatively embellished to straight-up fabricated.

For Western names, I recommend behindthename.com as a fairly reliable starting point (not sure how good it is with non-Western names). Etymonline.com is often better, but it only has names commonly used in English-speaking countries.

If the name you're looking for has evolved a lot, try tracing it back a bit and searching for its root forms as well (e.g. Mia –> Maria/Mary –> Miriam/Mariam). You can also sometimes find good info on Google Scholar – it's a pain to search, but it helps if you include "onomastics".

I'm not knowledgeable about non-Western names, but off the top of my head I'd suggest looking for culturally specific resources rather than going to something like nameberry.com and expecting it to have great info on Ugandan or Native American names.

If anyone else knows any good sources or search techniques, especially for non-Western names, please share! I'm just rattling a few suggestions of the top of my head here.

Also, keep in mind that many names don't have straightforward meanings or histories. Often they've travelled through multiple cultures over hundreds or even thousands of years, picking up various influences along the way. A history that complex can't be boiled down to a one or two-word meaning.

Of course, it's also fine if you don't care that much! Name meanings and origins were never a major deciding factor for me. It's just that if this stuff is important to you, it's worth doing your homework. I always feel bad when I see posts like "We named our child Peyton because we're Irish and she was born prematurely, and it's an Irish name that means 'little fighter'!" when in fact it's an English surname that means nothing of the sort.

I wrote this post a couple weeks ago on r/Intactivism based on some debate that was going on regarding feminism and intactivism. Thought this might generate some discussion here as well.

Let me preface that I am an American male who identifies as an egalitarian. I support many women's right initiatives but I find feminism is wrought with inconsistencies, hypocrisy, and lacks accountability for it's more radical members. At the same time, I support many initiatives in the men's rights movement but find they spend far too much time and energy complaining about feminism instead of working on sociopolitical change to achieve the initiatives they want for men.

When faced with the question of FGM, feminists overwhelmingly criticize and condemn the issue. There is no middle ground, no capitulation, no consideration of any conceivable benefit. Cutting a girl's genitals without medical necessity is wrong, harmful, and should be internationally criminalized for all time.

Feminism has championed this cause based on their principles of consent, bodily integrity and autonomy, and sexual health. It is very, very rare to find someone who identifies as a feminist and is also pro, or even neutral on the topic of FGM.

But when the topic of male circumcision, the most prominent form of MGM is broached, feminists become divisive and their resolution wavers.

But why?

Why does a movement that champions the fight against FGM and claims to fight for women and men's equality become suddenly muddled when the discussion does a gender swap? Feminists may argue that MGM is a trivial issue that shouldn't be bothered with since FGM is so much worse and pressing. Some feminists will even argue against referring to male circumcision as genital mutilation at all, stating that doing so detracts from FGM. Or they will argue that cutting of a male child's genitals is a completely separate issue from cutting a female child's genitals altogether because the former confers health benefits and is, at worst, minimally disruptive to male sexuality (if at all) while the latter is done purely to remove women's ability to enjoy sex, confers a multitude of serious health issues, and has absolutely, positively, no conceivable health benefit whatsoever.

If you asked a random westerner, feminist or otherwise, off the street to explain the differences, this will probably be the answer you get most of the time.

If these typical westerners were asked to define FGM, you will probably get a defi

The Etymologies

First we'll go over the basic words which are modified a lot (gender, sexuality, etc)

Gender - Originally meaning "a classification of people with similar traits", from Old French gendre, from Latin genus, "race, stock, family; kind, rank" as well as biological sex, originating from Proto Indo European (PIE) *gene-, or "to give birth, beget". As sex became used in English as another word for intercourse in the 1600s, in the early 1900s, gender became used for biological sex. In feminist texts of the 1960s, it also came to mean the category of gender roles one was put into.

Sexuality - The 1980s was the time where the most popular use of it became a sexual identity. Beforehand, it meant the ability to be sexual from the 1870s, and from 1789 (when the word was coined), it meant the act or state of being sexual, combining sexual and the suffix -ity.

• Sexual - Entered English in the 1650s, meaning "pertaining to biological sex". From Latin sexualis, a derivative of Latin sexus referring to biological sex. This appeared within Latin for unknown reasons, however a hypothesis is it comes from the word to cut (as in half of human beings are one sex), secare.
• -ity - "Having the quality of [preceding adjective]". From Old English -ite, from Old French -ete, from Latin -itatum, all meaning the same thing. Formed from -tas, which I could not find an origin or meaning for, and a connector i.

Romantic - In the 1650s, it was an Anglicization of the French romantique, meaning "pertaining to the Romance movement". This is from French romant, "romance", from Old French romanz, which means "a verse poem narrative," (I love how this all ties back to a movement in the 1600s, how recent!). Originally it meant "Roman" as in "(of a text): in a vernacular language". This comes from the Latin phrase "romanice scribere", "written in a Romance language". From Romanicus as an adjectival form of Romanus, a Roman. This of course comes from the city, Rome, or in Latin, Roma. By the 1660s, "romantic" came to describe a relation between lovers, as depicted in many Romance (the movement) novels.

Orientation - By around 1868, the word orient, as a verb, meant finding a position on a compass. This was abstracted to meaning somebody's mental direction or mental state. Later this was used to mean somebody's mental state in relation to sexual or romantic attracted at a time I can't find. orient, as a

We’re currently pregnant with baby girl number 2. Our toddler is named Penelope with the nickname Penny being used most frequently.

My husband and I both love the name Miriam, with Midge as the nn, for this little girl. Our only hang up is that I think most people associate Miriam as a biblical and Jewish name and neither of us are religious at all.

What are your thoughts on Miriam as a modern name? Is it too old and religious?

First ever post, so nervous to do so and hope I'm doing it right.

TLDR; My husband worships his controlling Father, has never put me first in the relationship, and I deeply regret getting married and am considering pursuing an annulment or divorce.

Warning: Very Long Post Below

I've been around my spouse and his family for around the better part of a decade since my spouse's sister has been my best friend since 13. I knew the family had issues (controlling Father and extremely negative Mother) since my BF (SIL) has always complained about how they treated her, but I also knew my BF (SIL) could be extremely rebellious at times and was the black sheep of the family. I also had a crush on my now husband since I was 14 (which he promptly proceeded to ignore me for).

Fast forward to when I was young, dumb, and 21, BF (SIL) recommended I date her brother when he suddenly became interested, and I did. No one in my family had any complaints about him at the time, my BF (SIL) encouraged the relationship, and so when he proposed I said "Yes". I wasn't "in love" with him at any point in our dating or engagement, but I figured love would come. Looking back and reminiscing with my mom, my husband during the dating period was already showing signs of being controlling (I had to tell him everywhere I went, he didn't want me going out of town, he didn't want me participating in church festive events (i.e. Easter Play and Harvest Festival) because he doesn't believe in holidays), he didn't want me to have any social media, etc.). We just both overlooked it. My BF (SIL) also had recently married and started coming to my church, so she was just eager for me to get married and be happy like her.

During the wedding planning, I again looked past his controlling nature because he told me that I was being Bridezilla, and I took the blame. He wanted to have (literal) church music and preaching at our wedding to make sure God was in the center of it (we had a first kiss wedding as well because he wanted it), and I wanted a simple and quick (but still Christ centered) wedding. There were so many arguments and times he threatened to call it off because I was being "too difficult" for wanting a 45 minute ceremony while he wanted a 90+ minute ceremony, or because I would tell his mother to have free reign in decorating the cakes and was being too "hands off" and it was "my wedding" but when I didn't want a hymnal song for the wedding I was too "controlling" and it was "his weddi

Our little one is due in August! We love the name Etta. It is an honor combination of my mother, maternal grandmother, and paternal grandmother, and I just think it sounds nice on its own (I’m not really interested in giving her a longer first name with Etta as a nn). I’d love for name nerds’ opinions on two things:

1. Our wonderful dog is named Aoife (pronounced Ee-fa if you are unfamiliar). Do you think they’re too similar? Part of me thinks this is just me being paranoid (I mean, it’s not even a human sibling, it’s a dog, lol) but we’re going the “not sharing our name picks with anyone IRL” route, and I just wanted to run it by some unbiased folks.
2. Thoughts on middle names? For context, her last name will start with a J, and it’s 3 syllables (unstressed, stressed, unstressed if you’re really curious). Some we like are:

Etta Iris Etta Marlowe Etta Miriam Etta Sylvie Etta Quinn Etta Violet/Viola Etta Merle Etta Dorothea/Theodora (both honor middle name ideas)

I’m open to middle name suggestions, too. Thanks for your help!
