I am sad that I can only upvote this once. Well done.

You could have account on multiple instances.

Edit: Or host a rogue instance that would spam thousands of up votes.

[-] MP3Martin@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

If someone were to create a malicious instance spamming downvotes, would every instance need to individually block it?

[-] lemann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

A few of the main instances are subscribed to Fediseer lists, probably wouldn't take long for a rogue instance like that to be defederated lol

Complaining about Reddit comments is such a Reddit comment thing to do.

Oh sh-

Fellas, easy way to get on a girl's radar is to ask if she can peer review your drafts for the textbook you're writing and give her editor/writer credit. Apparently girls love that shit.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

Double bond.

[-] lolola 43 points 1 year ago

I wonder what catalysed that

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Heat is often one.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

Damnit, save some puns for the rest of us.

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 46 points 1 year ago

I wanted to make a chemistry pun but all the good ones argon

[-] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

So raise the best ones from the dead, use em, then barium again. Not that hard.

[-] browslings@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

But then that's not very noble of you is it?

My wife & I never even discussed whether she should or would change her name. She’s not my property.

[-] derfl007@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it doesn't have to be about property, it can be about showing off that your officially one family now. And i think that's a valid reason for changing your last name (aka family name)

You can always opt to take on a double name, you can both take on your wife's name if you prefer that, or whatever. But just because a woman chooses to take her husband's name, doesn't mean that she's now his property. Your children also aren't your property just because they have your last name

Edit: And before someone brings up the fact that the historic reason is property: Things can change and people like to stick to certain traditions regardless of the history that the tradition carries.

Just because your last name is Smith doesn't mean that you need to become a blacksmith, even though that's where the name originates from

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A bit off-topic the last part reminds me of Terry Pratchett - Lords and Ladies

The Lancre Morris Men the mixup of name and occupation is a good gag.

  • Jason Ogg (occupation: smith and farrier)
  • Baker (weaver)
  • Bestiality Carter (baker)
  • Obidiah Carpenter (tailor, poacher, cesspit cleaner, and carpenter)
  • Tailor (weaver)
  • Thatcher (carter)
  • Tinker (tinker)
  • Weaver (thatcher)
[-] jpeps@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Absolutely, for many it's nice to be under one name even if there is no legal need. I do think though that in a world where taking the male family name is not a default and anything can happen, double barrelling becomes problematic as a solution. You can only double barrel so many times! We need a new tradition that is equal for everyone and scales well. My favourite is what I once witnessed at a fantastic wedding. Before cutting their cake, the happy couple literally did a coin flip to choose who would take the other's name. It was easily the most exciting part of the day.

[-] derfl007@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That sounds pretty cool actually

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Where my wife is over here stealing the last names of my family, my family's family, and her family's family. She's collecting last names like Thanos collecting stones.

She needs to be stopped before she's related to everyone.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] Bene7rddso@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Only if you have a different last name

[-] indepndnt@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I can relate in that I've never had a desire for someone else to take my name. But my ex-wife wanted to take my name because it would replace her father's name, and that name was problematic to her. She has since changed it to a name she chose for herself. When my current partner married her ex, they both changed their name to one they chose to identify their new family. Those all seem like pretty good reasons.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I tried to convince my wife we should come up with a dope new last name for both of us to take but she wouldn't bite. "Mr and Mrs Bonesaw" sounded pretty cool to me...

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Calm down, MBS

Good the fuck for you?

[-] Glifted@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I get what you're saying but having a single last name is convenient (doesn't necessarily have to be the dude's name). Especially if you plan to have kids.

If your kids have two last names, and they marry someone with two last names it could theoretically be a compounding problem. You gotta draw the line somewhere

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

You just hyphen the names, give the kids the hyphen last names, and find out when they get married who there favorite parent really was.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I don’t doubt it. I’m not sure what we would have done if we’d intended to have kids.

Tangentially relevant at best.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

I appreciate your progressive attitudes, though I wonder whether you considered how your comment may be received by married Lemmings who’ve already made a different decision than you. Could they perceive an unjustified attack you didn’t intend?

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I don’t think I’m responsible for other adults’ reactions to my life choices or my lived experiences.

[-] Saeveo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I don’t think I’m responsible for other adults’ reactions to ~~my life choices or my lived experiences.~~ my suggesting that they or their spouses changing their surnames upon marriage implies some sort of ownership.

Hrrm, maybe have a think about it.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

You are correct!

You are not directly responsible for everyone's reactions.

That said, an awareness of how our words and experiences may resonate with differing perspectives shows consideration and helps create a more inclusive space.

What do you think about helping us create the kind of platform we all want to be on?

Cool story.

[-] endhits@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Just do what you want no one cares.

If a wife takes her husband's last name, that doesn't mean she is seen as property. If a wife doesn't want to, that's fine too. No one cares what you want to do.
