So was “Sherlock” a normal name back then?

I was just thinking that I have never met someone named Sherlock. I have never heard of a celebrity named Sherlock. I have never heard of a historical figure named Sherlock. I have never heard of another character in any piece of media named Sherlock besides Sherlock Holmes.

the name sherlock seems to be incredibly rare today, but in Victorian england, was this name relatively common? Or at least normal enough to where the readers would have heard of it before? Or was it just a cool sounding name the author made up on the spot, but nobody had heard of a person named sherlock before this?

How are transgender people viewed in your country?

In the USA transgender people have become a huge issue, with the right wing saying that they’re mentally ill and sexual predators and the left wing defending them and supporting gender affirmation surgeries mostly. The trans women in women’s sports or in women’s bathrooms was a huge issue and imo convinced many people to vote for Trump.

it has me wondering how are transgender people viewed in Latin America? in Haiti I’ve never really heard anyone speak about them, but if its anything like how Haitians feel about gay people its not good to say the least. I have no issue with them though, I just feel bad that they have to live in a time where they’re so hated.

Morality of watching true crime?

Im ngl i really like true crime. I’m not even really sure why i love it so much but i watch it while doing schoolwork, cooking, gaming, and even to help me fall asleep lol. Seeing memes like this does make me feel kinda shitty because it’s real people’s trauma Im enjoying listening to, but I can’t help it idk it scratches an itch😭. is watching true crime for entertainment immoral?

Could your country defend against an invasion from the United States.

it might sound like a stupid question because America is so powerful. But countries like Vietnam and Afghanistan showed it was possible, so do you think your country could do the same?

Morality of torturing people forever because they didn’t believe you existed?

I used to be a Christian and the concept of hell never made sense to me, even in kindergarten when I first heard of it. If god is really willing to torture humans forever just because they never believed he existed(especially when he doesn’t give much evidence that he does exist besides a fucking book), he is more evil than almost any human who ever existed. Maybe up there with Hitler or Jeffrey dahmer, but I dont even think those people would torture people for eternity if given the opportunity. They just wanted to kill and enslave people, god takes this shit to a whole new level

Hypothetically, what if Vinland became larger and more prosperous and spread diseases across the Americas earlier. This builds immunity by the time of later European colonization. How would the Americas be different? Would the Natives still own most of the Americas?

Since I’ve read disease killed 90% of them and made colonization a lot easier.

Is there anything non indians should be doing to help? I try to police other black people like my friends and my family members, and it works but it feels like it’s not enough since there’s so much hatred online? is there anything non indian people can realistically do to help?
