Probably related to why America is named after Amerigo Vespucci.

I see no reason why anyone could properly disapprove of a name derived from that of Amerigo, the discoverer, a man of sagacious genius. A suitable form would be Amerige, meaning Land of Amerigo, or America, since Europe and Asia have received women’s names.

“It’s really important to note that the gene isn’t incorporated into the DNA of the cat. It’s not incorporated into the genome. So the gene isn’t passed on to offspring.

If it is not getting updates then it isn’t getting vendor security patches, it will still get Google Play Services and Android System Webview patches assuming those are enabled.

If he goes against your agenda he is obviously a false pope

They’re big on “Francis didn’t do enough to root out pedophiles”. I would agree, he didn’t. But he did much more than the Nazi pope before him. This is the new world though, Benedict was the ancient past. This is all Francis’s fault. Plus he was a Commie/LGBTQ plant who turned all the frogs gay
