“Leagues” is an encapsulation of a real-world phenomenon that’s almost never helpful to be thinking about imo. We’re already gregarious and hierarchically-minded; if you’re thinking about approaching the person, you’re probably inside their range. Everything you’ve been through up until now has taught you to try and ensure that.
Can we as a nation just agree to not pay attention to whatever the Conways are doing from here on out? Poor Claudia just never had a chance at a normal life.
If you know nothing about this person, is Quince Mountain an awesome name or a stupid name? (This is the real name of a real person who was not born with that name.)
I would be happy to name my child Quince Mountain
It would be child abuse to name your kid Quince Mountain
Anyways, Quince Mountain is the name of the first openly trans person to a) appear on Naked and Afraid and b) race in the Iditarod. He was trending on Twitter due to a dead dog (well, his dog was), so I looked him up. Never watched Naked and Afraid, so I can’t tell you what that is like.
I can’t decide if I think the name is awesome or stupid. I assume this name was chosen and does not match Quince’s birth certificate. I guess it probably depends on the story behind it, but I can’t help but feel that if I wrote a novel with a protagonist named Quince Mountain, I would be laughed at for picking that name. It might work for a comic book character, though.
