For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

Fucking ICANN has ruined the internet with their marketing-focused nonsense.

For ccTLDs, I completely agree. Plenty of good non country code tlds though :)

Still I’d ideally like .com addresses to be reserved for commercial entities and, while we’re here, US-specific sites to more widely use .us. Just to acknowledge I know this is a very pedantic hill.

Should a random assortment website without a specific country focus use something like .net or .world or do you have any better ideas, .world should probably be reserved for websites with world related stuff.

I’m genuinely interested in hearing your thoughts on this and similar. I find your hill very intresting.

We tried that, and we ended up only using .com, .org, .gov and if you were really shady .net.

.org should be reserved for group-sex related sites. humantraffickingfoundation.org sends mixed messages.
