    I blame the news for starting that “wOkE” shenanigans. The National Hurricane Center has been using the exact same naming convention since 1953, primarily to make tracking different storms easier. The names start with A at the beginning of the storms season, and ascend alphabetically, alternating gender. Additionally, even years start with a male name, odd years start with a female name. I highly doubt a bunch of scientists really give two shits about the naming convention when they’re really just trying to tell your dumb ass, “Hey, a storm’s coming.”

    Also, Beryl is an old school woman’s name. Get the net. The previous storm was named Alberto, the next one will be Chris. These lists are predetermined many years in advance.

    Hard to take any storm seriously when you’ve had a snowstorm up your nose half your life.

    Is there any picture of this guy where he doesn’t looked coked out of his mind?

    The most rage inducing part of this whole thing is the fucking font color the creator used. To them I say “Go to fucking hell you inbred fuck.”

    I insist Don Jr. pronounce his name differently, it sounds way too much like the female name Dawn and I’m worried people might think he’s a woke leftist calling himself a feminine name.

    If dude took 2 seconds too google “Beryl name,” he’d see that it has historically been a woman’s name.

      Yup. You’ll find men named Leslie, Skylar and Parker, but I’ve never, ever heard of a single male Beryl.
