but ML also can stand for Marxist Leninist and im sure has been the the way it was read by most early adopters
The official and authorized use for the TLD is an association with Mali. It doesn't matter what hip new meaning us internet dweebs want to assign to it.
Kinda funny considering they got the ml domain to mean Marxist-Leninist and then would get fucked by nationalization
They didn't.
I was thinking the same thing lol
Yes, and q-tips aren’t for cleaning your ears.

Yet.
lmao, sure, the ear wax cops are gonna show up at your door to raid your garbage cans for waxy cotton swabs
I have a cat that does this already.. maybe I’ll get her a lil cop outfit (that she would literally kill me before wearing)
That's why I buy store brand cotton swabs
