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.

Yes, and q-tips aren’t for cleaning your ears.

The difference being that Unilever won't confiscate your Q-Tips for cleaning out your earwax.

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)

Kinda funny considering they got the ml domain to mean Marxist-Leninist and then would get fucked by nationalization

No, stop spreading this nonsense, it was never chosen because of that. It was used because it was free and the developers don't care about creating funny names with the DNS or for glorified expensive DNS.
