My reasoning is that you cannot save the environment by regulating and degrading human life. It's like claiming that you will cure someone by killing him, technically correct... but the kind of correct that works on a weird leftist brain only.
The upper class are living lives so lavish, the emperors of Rome could have never dreamed off. We should change companies like Nestle, every single non-European company, data center companies, etc. from destroying our environment for profits. We should regulate the usage of jets and airplanes (for everyone, not just poor/middle class). What we should not do is say stupid stuff like cow-farts are destroying the environment and you need to eat bugs, or forced through digital currencies and social credit systems to only be able to go wherever the government tells you you can go. This is not even remotely near the realm of 'conspiracy theory', it's a reality for china/russia, and seriously studied by the EU, and even tentatively tried in the UK.
You can flag it. But you are still stupid.
A mentally deranged leftist (the adjective was not needed, you all are) thinking that the 'new frontier' is making meat illegal should be made fun off. How about the next frontier... not allowing poor people to travel or move more than 15 minutes away from their registered address!
Part of reaching maturity is an ability to tell when your jokes or behavior make others uncomfortable, even when you don't think they should, and moderating yourself to enable others to feel comfortable with your presence. Part of maturity is also knowing when the things that cause you discomfort are unreasonable and recommending they be avoided is disruptive and antisocial. I think "all references to alcohol" falls pretty far under that latter category. Part of getting over alcoholism in our society is gaining the ability to hear references to it without suffering emotional distress, and while it's good to help people on that journey erasing reference to their object of dependence is both unworkable and ultimately harmful to those ends.
If seeing a word written down is traumatizing, you need more help, and you’re not suited for the professional world. If coddling people like that would make you select away from a project for something beyond its technical merit, then I question your ability act as a professional.
I don't agree with the original take but this response is worse. Always choose curiosity about someone else's mindset rather than use it as an imaginary platform to build yourself up and pretend to be higher than them. Find another way to gain confidence.
Truth be told, I came up with this name when I was 12 years younger. The other big framework back then was called Martini. And Gin pretended to be the idiomatic version for Go. Go -> Gin
As someone who has been sober for 10+ years and still avoids events where alcohol is served, the word Gin doesn't cause me any stress. Just one point of anecdata.
Congrats on your sobriety! I'm creeping up on 8 years myself. I agree Gin doesn't phase me at all. That said, I could see it bothering some people, but I think that's part of the process. The stronger one's sobriety gets the less likely something like this will bother them.
This is important, but let's think it in different light. If society treated alcohol responsibly, without hammering the population with direct advertisement in ads, or indirectly with movies and cultural production, would a package name like this be offensive? I really doubt, so the problem isn't the package naming, but the entire cultural production that incentivises and rewards alcohol abuse.
"Gin" is also an abbreviation for "engine", as applied to various machines during the industrial revolution. Eg, cotton gin. In that sense, it's quite a good name.
