pegasus is also a technology supergenius deeeesu

oh, and related to the topic: deeeesu

...Why did I watch so much of that before stopping

There actually aren't any holograms, the glove actually contains a hidden IV that feeds the user hallucinogenic and suggestive drugs, causing them to see what they think the card should look like.

Kaiba Corp would face near-dissolution five years later, when an investigative journalist demonstrated the true function of the system.

The rules are so freeken messed up in that show... it is probably one of the only card games I can think of that would only work thanks to the magical holograms.

I mean what card game lets you play a card and then not tell someone how it works?

This is ignoring all the Season 1 cards that would just be insane to attempt in real life. "Ok I play Labyrinth! now I shall get out some graph paper and create a dungeon"... Or the later season cards that seem really fishy: "Ok you have to answer quiz questions that only I know the answer to!"

Folks name people jesus or whatev' plenty often, and that's not getting into the actually silly stuff. Poor decision-making is rarely considered sufficient reason to curtail a parent's decisions for their child, particularly for subjects like the kid's name.

This is more in the realm of naming your kid Yahweh, though.

I mean shit, I feel less sorry for the kid named Evangelion Unit One growing up than a kid named Allah. Parental publicity stunts are bad enough without imposing the risk of physical harm in addition to emotional. Kids ain't accessories, give 'em names, not topical memes or nouns associated with your interests.

It's literally what it is. It's both "Jesus" and "Yahweh is Salvation." Joshua as a christian name is basically "Mohammedallahuakbar." It's just that you don't notice it because christian Mohammedallahuakbar sounds like a perfectly reasonable and normal name to you because you probably know several of them.

I don't thibk a name with several thousand years of usage as a given name is the same thing just because it means roughly the name same thing. Maybe if it was Abdullah or another established name in which Allah is part. Naming your children God-Saves would be weird too.

And "Allah" is just "god". The equivalent would be naming your kid "Allahu akbar." Except not equivalent because that has another modern and mainstream meaning-calling a kid that would be more like calling them "Deus Vult". Muslim naming conventions favor characteristics for the personal name (as Christians do, except including other name sources, such as saint names). A proper Muslim name relating to Allah would be "Abd/Amah—". Naming your kid "Allah" is literally naming your kid "God" in modern etymology.

Someone has a kid, names them "DEUS VULT", and gets a dog named Jerusalem.

"DEUS VULT! WE ARE GOING ON A LONG WALK THIS AFTERNOON, AND WE ARE GOING TO TAKE JERUSALEM!"

[hops]

...I want to name my son Deus Vult.

(Disclaimer: I probably won't be a dick and would just give my children normal names. Then let them choose their own name a la Loki Skylizard)

[Frumple]

... artifact of just waking up from a nap I'm probably about to return to, but when I first saw that my eyes read Loli Skywalker. There was some confusion.

[Gunner-Chan]

I read loli silkwizard. Also very confused.

[TempAcc]

My girlfriend is almost sure that, if we ever have kids, she'll call our first boy Lucifer.

I'm trying to convince her to not do it because our kid will end up being nicknamed ~Lucy~.
