/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

What a narrow view. In other many places things are different and they function you know. In Brazil kids get the mother's surname.

Wait until he finds out about Icelandic naming conventions!

I demanded (not really) that my wife keep her last name. We have the same first name although spelled slightly different

[–] Steve@communick.news 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

I've always thought it was weird, the wife changes her name.
But in your situation? That's the perfect reason to do it.

When someone you like, also dislikes someone you dislike.

I think you would have to physically fight my wife to make her relearn her signature with a new name.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My wife's first name and my last name would sound really awkward together, which is the main reason why she kept hers and why it never bothered me that she did.

It is annoying to have to explain to people at places like hospitals that we're married even though we have different last names.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I haven’t run into that yet

We don’t have kids and don’t plan to, I imagine with kids this becomes much more of an issue

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, that is definitely another time when it's been a pain. Picking up a kid from daycare or school.

My daughter shares my last name, so when my wife came to pick her up, I sometimes got a phone call. Even if we filled out a form putting both of our names on it.

I enjoy the couples who both change their last names, usually a mashup of the two previous names. That's the ticket.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I hate hyphenated last names. It’s more of an aesthetic thing though and not really something I actually care about. If I were a kid and had to put a long ass last name on every paper I’d be rather annoyed (my last name is long to begin with)

Calling it now. His next movie is "Am I a misogynist?" and in it he will prove that he is indeed one.

Isn't it scary to see the count difference between Matt's tweet vs Jeffrey's reply ? Thanos snap isn't going to cut it...

Long story short, my wife and I have been married 10+ years. She just changed from her maiden name to mine a couple weeks ago. I kinda miss her old name, it feels weird having the same name now.

If Matt Walsh wasn’t openly a male supremacist I’d say it should be turned around on him.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Every time I see one of his shit takes on here for a moment a think of the actor Matt Walsh and think “oh no the funny guy is a shitbag?!”

But no it’s always this other asshole, at least I hope

I'm a woman and paid to change my surname because it was difficult for everyone to pronounce. I can only hope my future husband will want to take my name rather than the other way around. I paid for it, it's kinda VIP now.

[–] lohky@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

My wife didn't change her last name because we both forgot about it in the timeframe where it was easy to do and now we don't want to putz with it. 🤷

I also still don't have a wedding ring. We just had our sixth anniversary a few days ago.

The time I got married, I asked my wife not to change her last name because the women in my family don't. (Even if they did, I think I would still find it off-putting. It's my last name. You have your own last name.) She insisted on changing it regardless of what I wanted, and that was the "red flag"...

The joke is on her. She had to go through the trouble of changing it back after the divorce :)

That always sounded like a huge pain in the ass to me. People are so unrealistic about marriage so often though. It might end. Many marriages do. Don't do something stupid as if it never will to make things harder on you later.

I knew a guy who had his wife's name tattooed in huge letters on his neck. What a dumb thing to do.

[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

My brother got his girlfriend's named tattooed on his chest as a surprise for her. Luckily they've been married for ~20 years now so it worked out, but that struck me as a risky move at the time.

She's a doctor so it was even more of a huge pain than usual for her, both times.

If he gets divorced, Facebook can give him a list of all the other people with that same name.

When my parents got divorced, my mother didn't change her last name. She said it was her name most of her adult life and didn't feel the need to revert to her childhood name.
