i am making my own ii human names list, but very slowly, because i am pedantic. also, i will not be counting mephone creating them as canon. ive had these ethnicity and family hcs for ages, and i will base my names on them. now, here are the two most important names.

OJ: Olivier-Jean "OJ" Jacques Silveira. my oj interpretation/gijinka is brazilian (paternal side) and ivorian (maternal side). his last name comes from his father and is brazilian portuguese. his first name and middle name were given by his mother, as many people in côte d'ivoire speak french (french colonization —> it's the official language now but there's MANY others accompanying it). a lot of people who speak french like to use "jean" in hyphenated names (trust me ive met a bajillion of them), so i included it. i think his name sounds quite classy.

oj was born and raised in america, speaking english at school and french at home. as well as some portuguese, but he never actually learned it. i think he would become quite pissy when kids at school would pronounce his name incorrectly (Olivier-Jean is... very not intuitive to english speakers. i believe they would say it like Oliver-Jeen) so they ended up using oj as shorthand. and he was fine with that, so it stuck. but at home he's Olivier and Olivier-Jean. he tells new people he meets to call him oj just because it's consistent and because he doesn't like the sound of his real name being mispronounced. coming from someone who constantly gets her real names mispronounced.

Paper: Paige Hsu (foreign name) and 许佩妍 / Xǔ Pèiyán (original name). my paper interpretation/gijinka is han taiwanese, so fully of han chinese descent. more specifically, hoklo (chosen because i hc he can speak mandarin AND hokkien). his family immigrated to taiwan from fujian (province in china with hoklo ancestry) post ww2. Xǔ is a particularly common surname in fujian, so i chose it for him. be gentle with me if i messed up with his given name LOL i know much less about chinese than french (but DO inform me if you know more about it and spot any mistakes!). Pèiyán means, in a way, beautiful garment. to wear something beautiful. to be adorned. etc. it's partially based on trying to make it seem a bit like the name "Paige", partially based on what i think his mother might name him (no real hopes or dreams for him so it's a little shallow), partially based on him as i know him (focused on presenting himself). it's also, as far as i know, a name mostly used for women. note that my interpretation of paper is usually a trans man.

now, Paige is unisex, it sounds like page, and it's a loved one of mine's favourite name for him, so i like it. i also think it makes sense for when he immigrated to canada with his mother as something they chose, and something he can still keep (being conveniently unisex). Hsu is one of the taiwanese romanizations for Xǔ. im not sure if he'd take on oj's last name. perhaps he'd hyphenate them. he's not particularly attached to his family, but Paige Hsu is quite a pretty name.

bonus: nickel is named Nikola Stević. this one was easy because my interpretation of nickel is kosovar serb. last names come from the father but the exact practice of it is a bit outdated so Stević is likely from his grandfather or great-grandfather (unless im misremembering how it works). i don't like the name Nicholas his name is Nikola. Nicholas sounds like a sweet little boy Nikola sounds like a menace. i see Nicholas everywhere start calling your nickel Nikola

There's a post from someone outside of the US about how people in the US don't put their country down and just put down their state and something about US people being US centric, and part of it has always kind of bothered me because I think that people outside of the US don't really understand how states work for us or why people think their state should be enough. Some of it is being US centric for sure, but I honestly don't think that's the main reason.

It's because the US is a bunch of countries in a trench coat. I've compared it before to the EU, and I really do think that's accurate. It's literally a union of states. Each state has it's own government and laws and we have the federal government too but day to day a lot more of your life comes down to the state laws. Your driver's license, license plate, wage and a lot of employment protect (and enforcement), vast majority of court experiences, etc all go through the state. Moving to different states can mean being subject to wildly different laws, tax rates/methods, and forms of discrimination (ie florida trying to ban queer people while other states are explicitly adding protections for them).

Like, you'll notice that streamers often tend to be clustered in certain states in the US, and a lot of that has to do with certain states not having an income tax. Depending on what state they're registered in, companies can be subject to wildly different laws. Hence why Delaware is so popular for businesses. Bankruptcy law works differently in every state.

Lawyers are licensed to practice by state, and while they can move to different states, it's difficult and depending on their area of law they may be totally out of their field. Even small states like Delaware have totally different laws from a place 15 minutes to the left like New Jersey.

The largest single state by population is California which has nearly 40 million people. That is more than the entire population of Canada. It's roughly on par with Poland. Give or take a million people.

Ohio has about 11 million people, about 1 million more than Sweden. Florida has 22 million, over double Greece's population. New York and Romania both come out to about 19 million each.

Our smallest state by population, Wyoming, which has about 500k people, still has about 200k more people than Iceland.

Fucking Russia literally does not have half the population of the US. It sits at 144 million while we're at 333 million.

To give a sense of landmass/scale, France is the largest EU state by landmass with 630k square km. Texas alone is 695k. Alaska is 1.7 million square km. The US in total is 11.3 million square km. The entire EU has 4.2 million square km.

The US is 1) fucking huge and 2) so much less cohesive than a lot of non-Americans assume.

So why would someone from the US just put down their state? For the same reason that most people from the EU don't write down "Germany in the EU". Your state is where you're actually from, the USA is the weird umbrella you live under.

[afraidofchange]

the people coming in from other countries ALSO have little idea about your policies, etc. as does anyone coming into america, they just wanted to get out. a change of scenery. and most people that do research on countries, ie those who move to like norway, are rich. they can afford that. they can afford the change. but people hype of japan quite frequently as well... and well, japan is technologically advanced but rather behind on all other elements. especially lgbtq rights. so i just don't get why your initial reaction was 'americans not doing research' and instead, 'i'm sorry you guys are also struggling, maybe you think you're struggling more, but we're also struggling and we really need to do something about this.' you legalized gay marriage 20 years ago. americans were only 10 years ago. and now they want to attack the supreme court case that legalized country wide marriage. they already proposed it. it's happening. did that happen to you guys or are we just going to keep butting heads? aren't you a big advocate for the gay rights or is that just a big fucking lie?

... bud, I specified Americans because they're the ones talking about moving to Canada.

Idk how to make it more fucking clear to you that it is about an American ignorance about the problems in OUR COUNTRY, and that they act like we are this safe haven utopia.

Yes, we do have things that are 'safe' here, like gay marriage, but we are again, in the middle of a health care crisis because our conservatives want to privatize it, we are in a housing and homelessness crisis because of the cost of living that our politicians refuse to do anything about, and again, our politicians are actively trying to be like Trump.

You're throwing in a bunch of non sequiturs here to detract from the main point and to put words in my mouth.

If you need a little gentle pat on the ass about the words I chose - again, being mad and offended because I said DO RESEARCH and not "oh woe is you poor thing, we are also suffering" then that's a YOU problem.

Figure it the fuck out bud.

Also I'm a fucking lesbian?? "advocate for the gay rights" brother I am the gay rights.

Overstaying your visa while you await approval for your next visa is how you get your next visa. It’s a normal experience in the process of the legal immigration system in the United States.

Nearly everyone I know from another country has overstayed their visa regardless of which country they came from, the color of their skin, their criminal record, their education level, what their job is.

White House press secretary stated that it is of the opinion of this administration that anyone who overstays a visa is a criminal.

Currently overstaying a visa and entering the country outside of the legal system are not crimes but civil violations. Doing either of these things does not make one a criminal. Trump made it clear yesterday he intends to criminalize such behavior, and states are already proposing laws to give “illegal immigrants” life in prison to keep the prison to slave labor pipeline churning.

Canada's Immigration Pathways Open for Indian Skilled Workers in 2025 - New

In an unprecedented move, Canada’s Immigration pathways have opened wider than ever for skilled workers from India, introducing two novel immigration pathways that promise not just opportunities but a new life for many. This article delves into the specifics of these pathways, the implications for Indian professionals, and how this could potentially shape the demographic and economic landscape…

[supersoftly]

Sadly it's true. Google "Police-reported crime in rural and urban areas in the Canadian provinces, 2021" on Statistics Canada. One quote: "The Crime Severity Index (CSI), which measures the volume and the seriousness of crimes, was 33% higher in rural areas (91.9) than in urban areas (69.3). The gap was even greater for the Violent CSI." Again sorry if I'm being autistic about it. I believe your experiences are real, but I tend to go by studies instead of personal experiences and anecdotes.

Dude, key part of the article you glazed over:
