- amazingamazing 2y agoI always wonder why people create these ridiculous nicknames. Are there maybe more children on this site than I thought?
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoI think the change in standards of presidential discourse have affected how we talk to each other; e.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Donald_Trump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Dona....
- amazingamazing 2y agoTrump is hardly an example to follow, but you’re probably right.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoYa, but Trump is also the kind of person who doesn’t like to be called names but likes calling people names. A lot of people are going to feel compelled to lean into that. It is going to be a long 4 years.
- jprd 2y agoWait. You think the problem is "children" on the VC cult website? You see no issues with the CEO of five companies who bought his way into U.S. politics and being a complete clown show of K-hole takes that go against everything the Constitution was written to hold as sacred being criticized for his BS? Cool. Nicknames help us deal with the reality of an Apartheid cult gaining influence on our government.

- rsynnott 2y agoI think it's partly down to Twitter. On Twitter there are or were certain names (and Elon Musk was one of the worst) which it was unwise to say, because those people have hordes of weird obsessive fans who search for the name of their beloved, and pop in to sealion. Thus, nicknames. Not really a factor here, of course.
- lawn 2y agoTrump has a long history of not paying people too. He even balks at paying for the location of his rallies. Suffice to say, not a very trustworthy pair.
