When I was naming my kids, a number of the names we were considering were thrown out because either me or my wife knew someone by that name and our experience with them made using their name awkward. Like they were the smelly kid, they were bullies, had a crush on them ect.

I always wanted to know how many people considered my name as a potential child's name, but eliminated it because of me.

I'd want to see my stats compared to all the other sperm I beat to the egg. Like a table comparing our quality of life stats, how long we all would have lived, where we would have settled, how well we would have done. How different our lives were.

Pete Hegseth Blasted For Incendiary Threat To Iranians During '60 Minutes' Interview

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he offered a bleak warning to Iranians during a 60 Minutes interview while answering a question about a report that Russia provided Iran with intelligence that could potentially be used to target U.S. troops.

President Donald Trump has said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule." Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and some of his associates.
