“Sup, I’m Lance Crypto!”
We all remember Scam Bankrupt Fraud, right?

Yeah, the guy who never got out of Bronze in LOL.
To be fair, I never even got INTO bronze in LOL 🤷
Etymology nerd on YouTube has a video on this! It’s basically how we put people in our phones now, such as Alex (phone) and Alex (work), two names I actually have saved in my phone. They’re more based on relationship than occupation now.
That makes sense considering in the past knowing who your town’s baker or other role was mattered. Now a days you don’t really know the names of the people you get food and things from so it’s shifted now to more relationship based.
Especially, since you may not know their last name if it’s a casual relationship.
In the case of coppers it would be pretty convenient since they all go by their surname so they would all be, “Officer Pig”, “Sergeant Pig”, “Inspector Pig”, “Detective Pig”

Just ask Tim Apple how that feels.
one of the podcasts i listen to made a joke about Tim Onion buying Infowars and i am still cracking up over it.
also I’m super upset that someone already took the handle tim_apple on everything😤
It’s getting harder to discern reality from satire, but Tim Onion has actually been The Onion’s CEO’s name* ever since he bought that job. And he is trying to buy InfoWars. (And the company formerly known as Twitter has joined Jones’ fight to prevent it.)
*(his bluesky display name, at least)
thank you for making this even funnier for me
Even better, the parents of the Sandy Hook kids gave the Onion money won in the settlement to buy infowars.
Imagine being the actual John Gamer.

Please see the excellent book “Jennifer Government” for a prescient look at where things are heading.
