A lot of people are deeply insecure and will reach for anything to feel superior.

(Also, my son’s name is Henry, since I know people will ask. I know it’s simple and popular right now, I don’t care, and he’s a goddamn delight, thank you very much)


This is the part where you have to tell us the asshole’s kids’ names.

This. Super weird to attach this kind of meaning to a name.

Names don't scream that. Insecurities do.

I’m not sure what this means. Can you give me examples?
