/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.

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.

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.

I knew a guy who had his wife’s name tattooed in huge letters on his neck.

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

True. Thankfully it's not a unique 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.

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

This is pretty common. Same for my mom.

When she remarried, she kept the name too. Her new husband not so happy about it, but it was clear she ruled that relationship.
