Snowglobe of Doom posted:I had a trans friend spend ages picking out their new name and then managed to snag the Facebook url, but then got abused in DMs by some shitbag who'd just chosen the same thing as his DJ name Now I'm super curious about that name. What would make a good DJ name and a new normal name? One or both of them must be terrible at choosing a name.

Maybe there should be a whole thread of PYF people's favourite internet misconceptions. In the dial up era my brother was asking about how he could get onto a messageboard people at his school were talking about. I mentioned offhand when talking about making an account that people generally don't use their real names for their username but pick a reference to a food/sport/movie/tv show/book/hobby they like etc. He took the not using your real name to heart and made a hotmail account with some generic name like brian.smith1234@hotmail.com. For years he was sending me emails with family photos or links to things happening in our home town, etc and I was blocking them thinking they were spam.

We're probably talking like 3 emails per year here. It never really came up.

All he ever wanted was approval from his big brother, who cruelly ignored and rebuffed all of his attempts to build their relationship

When we figured it out he asked me if I wanted to see some photos from a trip he took to the next town over. He sent like 15 emails because a single photo fit within the maximum attachment limit for hotmail then. The camera was hosed in a way that corrupted the bottom 3rd of each image and they were all of friends of his I'd never met before or even heard about.

In the face of all the things necessary to maintain a human presence in Antarctica it seems superfluous to be like "oh happy day at least I can still worship an imaginary sky wizard."

This is the gooniest response possible. Why wouldn't people want a morale boost in a place like that? Also its not another planet and is pretty much a solved problem, just very expensive to move supplies. Atticus_1354 has a new favorite as of 18:51 on Nov 25, 2020 |

Trans friends don't always pick "normal" names when transitioning. I have a friend who is also a satanist and when she transitioned she picked a name that is basically a feminine form of a name for the devil and a last name that's just "devil" in another language.

I managed to snag firstnamelastname.com, and so my email address is firstname@firstnamelastname.com. I've never had people thinking it's their address, but I did once get a Canadian guy with the same name as me wanting to buy the domain from me. I declined, but I very nearly told him "ok, as long as I can be australia@firstnamelastname.com and you can be canada@firstnamelastname.com."
