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

/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.

I demanded (not really) that my wife keep her last name. We have the same first name although spelled slightly different
I've always thought it was weird, the wife changes her name.
But in your situation? That's the perfect reason to do it.
You could also wear matching outfits every day! Like Jean and Gene from The Umbrella Academy season 4

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.
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.
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
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.
My wife kept her name (both of our names are important to us, and neither of us care about tradition). So far no real issues, just people who know one of us assuming the other shares a last name. Unless it's someone we're going to interact with a lot or we're filling out paperwork, we don't bother correcting them.
We are trying to have a kid, and if we succeed we'll give them her last name. So... I'm super looking forward to being a man picking up a kid with a different last name and all the assumptions I'm probably going to have to face. I'm just hoping by the time that happens this will be a normal enough occurrence that it won't be a big deal.
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...
Screenshot was probably taken shortly after the reply was posted.
Are there even many other countries besides the US that do this? aAways found it the weirdest thing.

I enjoy the couples who both change their last names, usually a mashup of the two previous names. That's the ticket.
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)
I'm inclined to agree. Main issue for me is that it's not a sustainable practice and you're possibly making this very problem more difficult for the next generation.
Particularly if you plan to have kids, I think it's nice to have one name. It just doesn't have to be a man's specifically. Name mashups are fun, or simply reversing gender stereotypes. I once went to a wedding where the couple flipped a coin to decide whose name they'd take forward and it was possibly the most exciting part of the day.
My girlfriend and I are talking about this, I want her to keep her last name, I want to keep mine, but I also want to share a last name with my future children.
I'm the last male with that last name, which is very unique - basically everybody with that last name is related and we can track it at least 400 years in the past and I want my children to be part of that history. But I also want my girlfriend to have the same, like having our children be connected to her family history as well. So we will combine our names to not sever those connections.
Only part of contention is which name comes first, I like it alphabetically which would put my name first, her first and last name are alphabetically following letters (like A-B eg. Anne Barn or Chloe Detmer) which is also nice, so I am torn about that question :D
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.
I'm Spanish (we don't change names after marriage there), and my (British) partner wants to take my name. Rationally I know that's typical in the UK. But subconsciously, I feel like the people who share last names are siblings. I don't want to feel like my partner and I are siblings, that's so weird!!
Short trip to Alabama might help to expand your horizons...
I don't think our marriage would be of the kind they approve in Alabama, if you catch my drift

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