Mine's the hard to pronounce and spell name, and she already has professional works published under her name, so it didn't make sense to change.

Oh no, my whole legal name is 23 characters long with two spaces.

My parents got married in three different countries. The country they met in, ROC, where I was conceived (hence, the username), the country my father is from, and finally the country my mother is from and which I am a foreign-born citizen of. Why does that matter? Because my mother and her first husband never bothered to get divorced until shortly before my parent's third time marrying, in the US. So, my last name is hyphenated between my mother's last name at the time and my father's family name. It made doing paperwork easier going forward, according to the American Institute of Taiwan.

To make things even more fun, my mother changed her last name to something completely unrelated to our family, and my child has changed her first name and modified her last name to one half of my hyphenated last name. We tote around folders full of old and new identifying paperwork to do anything legal. It's such a loving waste of time.

My mother kept her last name when my parents got married. Then they flipped a coin* for each kid. My older and younger sisters both have my dad�s name, and I have my mom�s.

Ask me about having to convince, cajole and occasionally coerce people into believing that he�s not my step-dad. The idea that I have a different last name from my dad who is still happily married to my mom is somehow beyond the understanding of 90% of people, or at least anyone who needs that info on a form.

The best was we look a lot alike (big bearded guys with long curly red-blond hair) and we taught at the same school for a while in different departments. My students thought it was some god drat X-Files poo poo that I kept meeting with a dude who looks like me 30 years older in hippy clothes and it took them forever to just ask.

*the same coin, they still have it

Same deal with the added caveat both of our mothers kept their maiden names after being married to our fathers.

That being said my last name is 4 letters and her maiden name is 12.

LanceHunter: Nov 12, 2016; Beautiful People Club

Three different couples I know changed both of their last names to a completely new last name they both liked (for one couple it was a mash-up of their previous last names, for the other two it was just picking a work they liked).

One of those couples is getting divorced now, so I'm kinda curious if either or both of them chooses to change it back. (Though I'd guess not, since they have a kid who has that last name.)

I mean, no, because I never have to phonetically spell out anything with accent markings/characters not included in the NATO phonetic. That's why I asked if there's a standardized way to do that or is it just a make up your own best impression if you're in the unfortunate situation of needing to spell out something to someone on the worst quality phone you can imagine.

I think the answer, as with anything, is "it depends." I'll try to speak to the limits of my knowledge here.

In Germany (and probably other countries that use diaereses), if you're restricted to the basic 26 letter alphabet, you add an 'e' to the end. � becomes ae, � becomes oe, etc.

In Norway and Sweden, if you need �, it becomes aa. � is a separate letter at the end of their alphabet, so if your last name is, e.g. �s, it's unclear if "Aas" comes at the beginning of an alphabetized list or at the end of the list.

� can become oe or just o. Again, it is its own letter that comes after Z, so unclear where you'll be alphabetized.

β is just "ss".

The UN has an extensive list of places with unique identifiers that only use the basic 26 letter alphabet. They're called LOCODEs. Here's Sweden's: https://service.unece.org/trade/locode/se.htm. Unfortunately I couldn't find my favorite example of two almost identical places: H�bo Municipality and Habo Municipality (It does have Braas and Bra�s, with two separate locodes, but it gives the same lat/lon for both). Likewise, if Habo and H�bo had airports (neither do), the IATA and the ICAO would give them different identifies to prevent confusion.

Read Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names, it's enlightening and it makes you want to just go "gently caress it" and assign everything a unique identifier.

Possibly related to migrating off Google servers. $1b contract ended in June. No real announcement as to whether they�re doing a day-to-day continuation fee as of now. But odds are there�s a migration going on. $1b is a good chunk of change for something Twitter could probably do way cheaper. If Musk can get it done for half the cost, the way he went from 7,000 employees to 1,000, he could make Twitter profitable even with ads down 50%.

The greatest service Musk performed was opening Twitter up and stopping political censorship. As long as the government had total obedience of all the social media companies it could ban all discussion of certain topics (see Hunter Biden and many many others). Textbook fascism, so-called free industry being total tools of the state.

When Musk allowed free speech on such topics it made it obvious that the others were suppressing information on purpose and Lo! all of a sudden certain topics were allowed to be spoken of in public again on multiple platforms.

We need at least one prominent mainstream social media platform that doesn't censor on behalf of the government or a political party that controls the government.

The judge apparently is too dumb or too biased to distinguish an attack on BLM from an attack on black people in general or the black church in general. BLM is a hypocritical organization that preaches Marxism while enriching its leaders with donations intended for other purposes. BLM was responsible for nationwide rioting that injured more than 2,000 policemen and caused well over $1 billion in damages.

To me, the judge is clearly a racist who treats blacks like children and thinks they need his second-hand largesse to get by.

They may not all be animals. But they are being trained poorly and indoctrinated to believe only they have the right to shoot anyone or anything. Citizens need to embark on an education campaign to teach cops that they arent the only armed defenders/protectors out there, and they need to learn how to work with the public, make safe decisions, avoid shooting innocent people and animals.

Cops need to police their own. If they allow bad cops in their ranks, it is their fault. My dad was a career cop, 1960�s to 1990�s, and they got rid of the cowards, the bullies, and the abusive as fast as possible. A good police force is so valuable, a bad one is a blight on the community and leads to this kind of thing.

Shooting a dog like this is a cowardly thing, he should be shamed out of the job and not ever work as any authority again.

Yep, it's the 90% of "good cops" turning a blind eye to the 10% that are violent, corrupt or mentally unfit, that are destroying America's trust in law enforcement. Their "blue wall" and code of silence allow the cancer to spread. 10% bad is being generous, and it's getting worse. Meanwhile we are militarizing these forces, and police training is aggressively dehumanizing the population they are supposed to "protect and serve".

If I were the dog owner, I�d wear a t-shirt with his photo and my dog�s photo on it stating:

�This is the pv$$� cop who shot my sweet dog.
Fire this wimp�

I�d wear that shirt EVERYWHERE.
I�d mail the image to neighbors
I�d post it on social media with videos of how sweet my dog is.
I would be relentless.

He would get a nickname that even the thin blue line would quietly whisper amongst themselves behind his back.

You picked the wrong story to make 5 posts about your dislike of the police. The �broader� point should be that as we see time and time again the media lies to us and this is an example of how many people reflexively believe their crap. Fortunately you seem to now accept that it was not a tail wagging cute golden retriever puppy that was shot. No doubt this is a tragic for the family that lost one of their 5 dogs. Not sure if dog owner herself was the person that the police officer witnessed bleeding (presumably from a dog bite) but you can definitely see from the video she was trying her hardest to restrain the dog and it finally wrestled away from her and charged the officer. Hard to claim the dog was just looking to play. You mistakenly believed the media and I will give the benefit of the doubt to law enforcement.

There are almost certainly leash laws that apply. If dogs don't want to get shot, they should follow the law. I bet if we looked at that dog's past, he wouldn't be such a "good boy"

They find it easier to humanise a dog than a black person, so it's not that out of form.

Cops and weed are the two topics that freep consistently generates some good takes on. (Bad ones too.)

remembering gettin tear gassed and punched back in the day, yeah it's kind of important to remember that while freep sometimes has good takes on US cops (menace to society, should not be trusted with even a baton), as soon as the violence gets turned on Bad People instead of heckin pupperinos, they'll be full Javert mode and wondering why a full Normandy landing worth of kit hasn't been dedicated to ending shoplifting forever

Sort of?

He was a very passionate dog owner for sure, but I don�t think anyone would call him a good caretaker of them. Dude pretty regularly beat the everloving poo poo out of his pups.
