Rudolph Schenkel (yes really)
What? What is weird about that name? Maybe I'm too German native speaker to get this.
I was thinking maybe because of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, being kind of the alpha of the reindeer herd? No idea, really
It makes more sense when we assume it's software development terminology instead. Alpha means the software is immature and full of issues.
I am a release candidate male.
- languages evolve, and the origin is nothing more than a curio today. People use the term "alpha" to mean a thing that exists in humans, even if it never did in wolves.
- this thing is called by the rest of the population "being and asshole" and as such i find the self identification of those people very usefull and time saving.
Shut the fuck up, omega
No /s come at me mods
(Not really though)
I'm an alpha male: barely able to keep myself running and likely to completely break down if I encounter something I'm not prepared to deal with.
I'm an alpha male. If you study me in captivity I will display downright unnatural behavior.
Screw alpha males, I'm an alpha woman with a thing for omega soft guys. 🥰
I wonder if this discourse sounds hilarious to a Greek person wondering why Angloids keep referring to themselves by letters of their alphabet.
If you were a (regressive, anti-science) female that believed this, wouldn't you have to be a "beta" wolf in this fictional world?
Alpha, beta, sigma, all just types of prison bitch. Scientifically speaking.
Someone needs to tell all the authors involved in the wave of trash urban fantasy books that flooded the market a while back, using this to write werewolves. (True Blood, etc.)
The dude from the Scorpions also studies wolves?? When he's not rocking you like a hurricane?
No wait, that's Rudolf Schenker.
