/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.

Some of the many species Jeffrey Combs has evolved into:
I just see it as a hassle. Like why even bother? She would have to explain why she wants to take my name and I would try talking her out of it "What if we get a divorce in 7 years or so? Do you just have to change it back then?" I'm sure that would go over well
Marrying Jeffery Combs is like marrying 300 men at the same time, though. Every day he can just act like a different alien.
" I don't know who you are anymore!
I love it!"
You can't expect a regressive to understand evolution. They are going backward faster than the rest of us are moving forward.
My fiance and I are considering creating a brand new last name that we both take.
You can share mine. Personally I don't like it, but maybe you will.
I recommend Dax
Hot tip, change HIS last name prior to the wedding and she gets the name change free.
I know a couple that waited until after the wedding to do that and the husband changed his name, then the wife was given the option of keeping her old name, or switch to his old name.
She ended up having to go through the entire name change process without the benefit of the auto-name flip from the marriage.
I'm pretty sure both of us had the option of changing our names when we got married and when we got divorced.
Warning: Taken from decades-old memories of things that I wasn't involved in or paying much attention to! Anyway...
In Virginia a man sued the state like 30 years ago because they wanted to charge him to change his name, when a woman could change her name free when she got married. The state could either have charged women or made it free for all. They chose the later.
I've known other people who do that.
I just feel like any name change that you don't need (i.e. you're transitioning) is just more bother than it's worth.
Yeah, that's what we are running into. The marriage forms here in NC make it simple to take the husband's last name as part of the process, but any other kind of change requires a lot of crazy, expensive, and time consuming steps.
I got the biggest hassle from Delta Airlines on my stupid Skymiles account.
I wonder if there's an opening there to claim discrimination on the basis of sex.
There are tons of reasons why one might not want to change their name. At a minimum you have to send a form to the state, update any licenses you have, contact your banks, your insurance, your place of work... Best case scenario it's an annoying hassle to deal with.
Was I appreciative when my wife took my name? Sure. But that's mostly because we also share the same first name so it's hilarious to share the same last name. But I told her many times before we got married she didn't need to do it. I never expected that out of her.
If having a matching name is a big deal with you, then you can change your name.
My wife meant to take my name, but then we never did the paperwork. So we just left it.

You both share three same first name as well? That sounds very confusing for your peers
So curious what your first name is.
I only recently found out he was Brunt as well as Weyoun. And had no idea about the others. (I still haven't gotten around to Enterprise.) What a talented guy!
BRUNT, FCA
DS9 casually nailing it with ferengi actors. Even the cousin was great
What the fuck makes my name any better than hers? Fuck my name. I don't even want it.
Take hers!
I tried to but she wouldn't let me
Did you try taking discommendation, being expelled from the empire, brain wiping your brother and only living relative, and impressing her in combat during shared captivity in an enemy camp? If it works for worf..
My wife let me take her name
She lets me do anything
Oh, how progressive! Why, back in my day, we just thrilled at the excitement of folding laundry and baking pies all day. But you, dear, you’ve truly broken boundaries. Imagine—your wife letting you take her last name and do whatever you want! Why, next thing we know, she might let you wear trousers too.
Give her my regards; she sounds like quite the visionary!
There are lots of reasons for women to keep their maiden name. In the case of my wife, she had two good ones:
She didn't want to become disassociated from her scientific publications.
She didn't want to complicate or redo any immigration paperwork.
Also some names just sound better. And some names go better than others with some surnames
If Matt Walsh wasn’t openly a male supremacist I’d say it should be turned around on him.
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
Nah that guy's an upright citizen.
Women, don't marry men who won't take your name. That's a wall of separation he wants to keep between you. It won't be the only one.
I took my wife's name when we got married. I hate my family and intended to change my last name anyway. Her family is awesome. It was an easy choice.
And don't marry a man who insists you take his. That's a wall of control he's building around you and he won't stop until he's separated you from everyone and everything you love. Marry the man who accepts it's your choice to decide, along with every other decision about yourself.
It's fiancée. Fiancé is male.
Today I Learned! I had no idea there was a difference. Apparently they are pronounced the same, it's only a written difference.
But it seems like in English fiancé is becoming a gender neutral term
I almost kept my maiden, but now it's an additional middle name. I love my maiden name, but I changed my name to my husbo's because it has a Z in it and I was super stoked to have a Z in my signature. 😂I also like the way it sounds with my first name.
Sometimes, it's really that simple. My husband didn't care either way when we discussed it. It was just a choice I made.
Yet another conservative weakchin hiding behind a beard.
They're certainly going for a look right now.
Yeah, they need to go back to having bald faces and side-parted hair, so we can shun them at long distance.
The compromise is clearly to swap last names with each other
I have some friends that got married and decided to merge their two last names and create a brand new last name. I thought it was a cool idea
