  • I know I’m thinking about it simplistically but the Trump family dynasty and their hangers-on have a lot of wealth that’s just figures in digital ledgers, right? What’s to stop someone on a computer from just wiping that away? Realistically, if you were able to put all their accounts at zero, what recourse would they have? I guess I just don’t understand modern banking.















  • 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




  • I love that, it sounds so classy. I don’t mind if people say things that get old. With my first name, I learned a long time ago to not get annoyed by it, because I would always get “like the spy?” I secretly think a little less of people who say that. Then again, I knew a guy, absolutely beautiful in a gay mysterious way, and told him he looked like a Twilight vampire, and he gave me this withering look and was like “Yeah, I’ve heard that.” So I was the annoying one to someone else with the same problem ahshhahhfhhahhbhhhhhh
