The attorney is asking for restitution —and a week on Zuckerberg’s yacht.
What
I was in danger of having sympathy for a lawyer, then this brought me back.
Way to take a serious matter and make it comical.
If you look at the actual quote, that is quite editorialized. My reading if the quote was that it was said in jest.
Reminds me of how after WW2 people stopped calling their kids Adolf or even changed their name Adolf into something else. I mean, I’m not saying Zuckerberg is literally Hitler or something, but it sure is funnily similar.
Same thing happened after WW1 too btw. The strong anti-German sentiments across the US and Europe prompted multiple changes. William and Vilhelm became Bills or Ville; Müller became Miller; Schmidt became Smith.
I had a lot of Swedish family who did this from around 1915-1930 and as you said, again after WW2.
What about John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Everyone seemed to share a name with him according to lore.
It’s probably so popular on account of people always shouting it.
Hey! That’s my name, too!
Zuckerberg literally means sugar hill/mountain in German.
As an Austrian, this comment saying that ‘Berg’ translates to both hill and mountain explains a lot about what I’ve seen Germans refer to as Berg. To me it only means mountain.
Most of the time it does mean mountain. But I did hear it used for hill once, but that’s it.
A LOT of the ones I’ve seen Germans refer to as that are hills to me, so maybe it’s normal for some. The way we use it, Berg has to go over the tree line, or at the very least be steep enough at the top to not have vegetation there.
Yeah, isn’t hill hügel/hüble? Currently hiking in DE and just climbed one and it had the signs, too. Now the real question is - at what point is it considered a mountain?
Our definition: either high enough or steep enough to have no vegetation at the top. For some people, only the former definition counts. But from experience, the definition must be different in Germany. Maybe someone from there can chime in to share their definition!
See? I knew the different instances of this bot would start fighting each other one day.
A celebrity? Holy fucking ego, batman!
I say make it a cage match. Thunderdome style.
He should just host his own instance and… oh, wait…
Maybe fb Zuck could follow in the path of the former Ron Artest.
Meta World Conflict?
I’d probably get my name changed even without my accounts getting blocked
I’m pretty confident this is literally just advertising. Stop promoting this please. The guy is just doing something stupid because people will share it on social media.
Nope. This is a real attorney. I walk by his office downtown.
I’m not saying he’s not real. I’m saying this is an ad. It’s a meme lawsuit to get attention. It isn’t a serious one.
Wrong again. He keeps getting his Facebook shut down because his name. He, like millions of other business owners, use Facebook to advertise their business. It’s legitimately his name. Is he supposed to change it? How would you like him to proceed?
Him asking for time on his yacht at minimum gives the appearance this isn’t serious. If he is, making ask for real compensation and changes to prevent this. Because of this I still don’t buy that this isn’t a meme/ad move. Is it purely the name, or did he do more to cause confusion or to get banned? (Don’t try to answer this because we won’t know until the trial.)
