The bird is named after the country: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_(bird)#Names
(So now when they’ve renamed the country, the bird ought to be renamed too.)

Thank you for this very enlightening explanation!
While it doesn’t make any sense at all that “a Discord server” (an online community hosted by the Discord company) is used to mean a totally different thing from “a Discord server” (a server which runs the Discord software), your explanation makes all the other comments here suddenly make sense.
I had to check that I hadn’t dreamed this up on my own, but looking around now there are claims to having Discord servers all around, these were just the first handfull I now found:
“FreeBSD has a Discord server to socialize, get support, support others, learn, contribute, collaborate, and stay up to date on all things FreeBSD and Open Source.”
wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer
“If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.”
“We’re transitioning to our own discord server!”
github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une/…/111
“We’re opening our own Discord server as a replacement for our Gitter.”
www.crowdsec.net/blog/crowdsec-on-discord
“I’m excited to announce the launch of our Discord server, VigneshDevHub, designed to build a thriving open-source community where developers of all levels can collaborate, learn, and work on amazing projects together!”
dev.to/…/join-the-open-source-community-on-discor…
“Our Discord server got a makeover.”
…hashnode.dev/channel-updates-in-our-discord-serv…
That you’re now telling me that none of them actually have their own Discord server is just bizarre. I can’t be the only one who took those words at face value, simply assuming that they in fact had their own Discord servers.

Have you ever used discord?
No, not really.
The name server isn’t prescriptive. It’s not your own server. It’s just your own chat rooms
Eh, you lost me there, what’s that supposed to mean? How could my own server suddenly become not my own server if I started to use Discord?

What’s that supposed to mean?
- Comment on Prepare For Discord To Get Way Worse [Kotaku] 3 weeks ago:
What do you mean, how could your own server be “hosted by discord”?
- Comment on Prepare For Discord To Get Way Worse [Kotaku] 3 weeks ago:
What do you mean by that? Tons of organizations, groups and people publish that they have their own Discord servers.
- Comment on Prepare For Discord To Get Way Worse [Kotaku] 3 weeks ago:
But pretty much all of these organizations have their own Discord servers, don’t they?
So why would it matter so much what the parent company does? If some changes are seen as unacceptable one could simply just not apply them to one’a own server. (It’s not like the Discord company could force anyone to run some particular software on their server. How would that even work.)
I don’t understand why people care what Discord does. If they do enough unwelcome changes the people who run their own servers will simply detach from the parent company.

- Comment on Which are the lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing? 5 months ago:
Fantastic! If that’s the level for lesser known then you’re perfectly right, most of the world’s most celebrated, successful and influential filmmakers then certainly count as lesser known.
- Comment on Which are the lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing? 5 months ago:
The question was about “lesser-known movies”, but Wong Kar-Wai and his movies are (for obvious reasons) very well-known.

Your friend sets you up on a date. Are you going to treat that person horribly. Of course not. Why? First and foremost, because you’re not a dick.
I have in my life met a number of people to whom you might want to explain that this was how they were supposed to behave.

I don’t really see the big problem here?
The primary problem in this story is the lying. If there are Bluetooth earbuds in the box then it should say Bluetooth on the box.
