/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.

There are lots of reasons for women to keep their maiden name. In the case of my wife, she had two good ones:

  1. She didn't want to become disassociated from her scientific publications.

  2. She didn't want to complicate or redo any immigration paperwork.

My ex took my last name, because he had siblings with children and my family name would have died with me. It was a gift to my father that his* grandson would carry the family name forwards. And no, that wasn’t a red flag – we were married for 30 years.

  1. Who cares

I'll admit when I was in my early 20s, it was a point of contention with one girl I was dating. I was young and stupid, my mom took my dad's name, etc.

But by 30, wiser, less prone to drama, I was solidly in the "who cares, do what makes you happy" crowd.

My wife kept her last name. It's easier, and less confusing for her clients and networking.

Grow the fuck up. Stop being so needy and insecure. It's a bad look.

My wife just didn’t want to change hers, so I changed mine instead. No need for a particular reason.

Also some names just sound better. And some names go better than others with some surnames

No no it’s PDF file (I know the second file is redundant but that is the trend on YouTube to not get demonetised).

Edit: I got curious and it turns out the file isn’t redundant as the F is for format. Portable Document Format. TIL
