No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't get along with my dad either, I feel you. My mom's maiden is Chen and I don't look like a Chen so I can't. I guess I'll think about the things I love and make a portmanteau or just pick one good one.
You're as much of a Chen as your mom is. If she's still around ask her what she thinks of the idea. If someone else doesn't like it, then they're the problem.
In any case, good luck!
Thank you and I appreciate the sentiment. It's just like if someone comes in for Dr. Chen they might feel some type of way when they see me because I don't look Asian and need to call the translator. Maybe my last name should be Rootless or Rudderless
Then have some fun. Lol.

In all honesty you're not going to pick your partner for their last name. If they are a Chen, for example, are you going to be worried about how it makes you look at work?
"Oh, its my dad/mom/parent last name. Sorry, I only speak English/Whatever"
Clearly, the correct answer is Dr. Acula.
I reject the concept of automatically taking a partner's last name, as a woman. I also don't want my father's, for personal and professional reasons. It's wack that we have all collectively agreed that a woman trades ownership and a large part of her identity when married. He should have to do it. I know a woman with the last name Palo who changed her name to something I find ugly when she got married and it ticks me off. It's sexism for her to change it and not him, but we all ignore it?
I will change my name to a partner's if they have an awesome last name, but I can't wait on a hypothetical partner. I actually do know a couple women in my line of work who have ethnic last names that have confused patients. Einstein would be funny but I dare not.
Edit: that was a tangent sozz but I think Dr. Smart could be a good one
