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 :)

I love everything he's done, but going back and watching Enterprise was great because he's SO great in that show everytime he shows up.

gonna take a while... he looks like he hasn't gotten around to evolve into the homo habilis yet.

The only thing is that it's annoying when you get kids.

Do they take both names? If so, you are just pushing the issue of choosing to your kids. At some point someone needs to drop some fucking names.

We decided our daughter would take my name because my wife's brother had two sons that would continue her family name. And considering my daughter is queer, it's not all that likely she's going to have a kid anyway. Not that we knew that at the time (although I used to joke that I hoped she would be because I wouldn't have to worry about her getting pregnant as a teen).

Edited to clarify.

How did he do that thing where I heard "evolve" spoken aloud by him?

I thought twitter was text only?

Are there even many other countries besides the US that do this? aAways found it the weirdest thing.

I don’t mean this as a “gotcha”, but my understanding is that in the vast majority of places where marriage doesn’t change names, the children are still always named after the parent with an outie. I just want to push back against this “western bad” meme.

[-] Landslide7648@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

I believe most countries in Central Europe do it. But it’s also possible to take the wife‘s name of course

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They do it in other English-speaking countries for sure.

/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
