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.

Ah that makes sense! The anal nitpicky part of me would still say, “well, the feeling of Mondays would still be there in some cases.” But I understand the jist. Thanks!

Can someone educate me on this one? I understand people hate their jobs and would rather be doing something else, and maybe under socialism there are more opportunities to do stuff you enjoy, but there still is work to be done. Would the work not still have start times and end times throughout the week?

Like, ditch the shitty corporate job and make art or something fulfilling. But you’ll still have to go to work on Monday? (Okay, maybe art is a bad example because that would be more contract based and you’d work as needed, but the question still stands)

I struggle so hard to get even 5 boosts on mastodon. How do y’all do it 😂

In my own kitchen we have one light switch which turns on about separate bulbs. They aren’t white light but it’s close enough to this pic 😂

I see that now on my third re-read. 😂😭😂😭😂

I am practicing my proper grammar skills. I read somewhere that you are supposed to italicize products when you use them in a sentence and I wanted to try it for some dumb reason.

If it helps, I am not a bot nor do I strictly endorse this product. Traditional floss and floss picks are way better.

I only like this product because I have a permanent retainer, flossing to get under this thing is a pain.

In the spirit of good health, something is better than nothing!

– I am actually a dentalologist

Just in case, because the Internet is weird: this comment was satire. My dentist is actually a cool dude and my dental hygienist is amazing.

Take care of your teeth y’all! 🦷🪥

You only get one set, and it’s a long life!

I hate the aftertaste of coffee. Simply using GUM Soft Picks and brushing my teeth after my morning coffee in addition to my before-bed brushing has really improved my dental health.

I don’t give a fuck about sending my children on a trans field trip. Everyone should be comfortable and happy with their bodies. Spreading knowledge and education on the subject is key to achieving this!

Fuck dentists though! They just like to SCRAPE at your teeth. They make your gums BLEED. They charge you money for these OBSCENE services?!? They think they are so smart because they are a dOcToR.

If you are trans, that is cool and I love you for who you are. However, you won’t get a pass from me for spreading your dentalism ideologies to my kids!!! 😤😤😤😤 🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲

Pornhub should get into the VPN business 👀

Not Canadian but I’m in an area of the U.S Midwest that is known for cold winters and I feel similar. At this time of year, I’ve always worn layers when I go running outside. Typically 3 layers of clothes, but even at “record highs” before this year I would have at least a Thermo undershirt under my outer shirt.

This entire month, and I’m not exaggerating, I have been able to wear the tank tops I wear during summer. News casters keep saying, “look at all of this wonderful weather we’re having,” but this is not the winter I would’ve signed up for.

I thought Brad Dourif did a good job for those two episodes for what it’s worth!

You believe in a space koala too??

I honestly think there’s a gray area here and it’s worth talking to a lawyer if anything. There are certainly some protections for peoples under 40. Being denied a promotion because you’re “too young” is certainly a protection. The catch is you have to prove it.

This case is easy to prove though if there are any laws over this.

Edit: but now that I think about it, this is only really a protection if you’re already hired at the place. If you just slam the door on people before they can get in, discrimination seems to be legal.

Is the firing mechanism clinch activated or fart activated?

Lower Decks is the entire reason I’ve even begun my Star Trek adventure. I’d watch Trek occasionally whenever it was on TV, but now I’ve watched all of LD, DISC, SNW, TOS, the first 6 movies, 6 seasons of TNG, and 1 Season of ENT in like the past 2 months or so.

What have you done to me, I’m in this position myself too because of the picture.

I’m late to the Nix party. I do the bare minimum just for my at home media server. I guess it’s a good time to get caught up on my Linux knowledge again.

It has a great effect if you binge The Best of Both Worlds while stoned right before it too. Can confirm.

Omg what does this mean 😭😭

I binged like the last quarter of the 2nd season really stoned the first time around. 10/10 experience. Honestly it was awesome. Would do again.
