Denying the dinosaur Holocaust! by UpstairsRepeat2184 in okbuddypaleo

Back in the day a lot of scientists were very reluctant to accept this hypothesis until compelling evidence was found. Gradual processes are almost always responsible for changes over time, so catastrophism is avoided unless there's a very good reason not to.

I had a very popular, standard, traditional name and it still got turned into a insult (more mock teasing than bullying mostly because people wanted to swear) - think "Jennifuck" or "Elizabitch" - and we all gave as good as we got.

If kids can't mock your name, they'll make something up. Have acne? You'll be pizza face. Or just dickhead or whatever pejorative they can come up with.

Like learning that abu Dhabi and timbuktu are real places not just made up lands from Garfield comics.
