- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 1 day ago:
I knew a couple that did this. Neither of them changed their names when they got married, and both their names were just weird. They wanted more professional-sounding names, FWIW.
I somewhat agree to explore the un-messed up spelling, but can see how that might not work. My friends just dug through family histories until they found one they liked. Settled on Snook. Worked for them.
Starting from scratch, I would start with syllables first to see what fits. It’s either you want a mirroring of the syllables of the first name if you want something formidable and important-sounding, or a single syllable that is a stark punctuation if it suits you more.
A few examples:
2-syllable names might do better with 1 or 2 syllables - Maureen Star, Maureen Wright. Maureen Harper, Maureen Rivers flow well.
3 syllable names might work with up to 3 - Meredith Mackenzie. Meredith Lancaster.
You might also want a “job name” as other suggested as they are sort of ethnically neutral (other than being English) - many 2 syllables. Taylor, Harper, Archer, Tanner, Hunter, Sawyer, Driver, Wainwright, etc.
Or something you like in nature - Rivers, Forester, Woods, Fields, Bay, Mariner
If you go for 1 syllable, make it a word people know that pops. Knox. Hale. Quinn. Snow. Stone. Frost. Hart. Steele. Black. Night. Day.
Also, search online first to make sure that no one with the same name is a serial killer or something.
Best of luck!

- Comment on Can travel anywhere in late June, not sure where. Anecdotes/advice? 2 weeks ago:
Big question is what is “too hot”? Croatia or Turkey in June would be toasty. You can also look at the Aegean side of Greece. Beyond being hot, June and August both are when these places empty out or get absolutely filled up for the summer. Personally, I would suggest looking more around the Balkans and seeing if there’s something you like and renting a car to drive between places. Beaches in NE Greece, hot springs in Bulgaria? Beaches in Montenegro, shopping in Belgrade? You get that Ottoman history anywhere you go. Maybe look at flying into one city and flying out of another.
Turkey is solid, but beaches might be some internal flights or long drives from IST. Just beware of scams and hustles from every direction.
Scotland in June is beautiful, the question would be if you can actually find a place to stay. It’s a short summer so things book up quickly and expensively. Water is always freezing.
Dominican Republic on the Semana peninsula? Panama?

He was also the dealer, so no, I do not and never did.
Though, FWIW, entirely not recommended for long-term practice. That much molly regularly can really mess up your brain chemistry. It didn’t end well for them, but she was also a depressed wreck.

I knew a guy that did this with his gf regularly. They’d take a full day off, phones off, he’d pop a viagra and they’d both do a molly.

For a while I lived in apartment building where no one had AC units so we all just had our windows open every night. My partner and I woke up at like 3am on a week day to what sounded like someone being murdered. Things being thrown around and this moaning whimpering that sounded not OK. Apartment across the courtyard on the same floor as us best as we could figure.
Then all of the sudden it changed tempo to slap-slap-slap of hips on ass and a guy calling someone a stupid fucking slut and running through every derogatory thing he could manage. Slapping her (I assume her ass, might have been her face) hard - it really sounded like borderline injury slap. Still not sure at this point if we’re hearing an actual assault or what. Then, fortunately, within a few minutes, she was screaming yes yes yes and responding to him calling her a slut. Which of course, made us feel relieved that it seemed consensual. We looked at each other and did a little “awwww…that’s so nice for her!” Once they finished up we applauded, which they deserved.

It’s hilarious to try and go up against the tide of siesta and be pissed about “The store isn’t open? It’s 3:00!!” and then everything ends up being open until like 9pm anyway.

Such a stupid take. You build a data center in Sydney when all the people are in NY? Think of the latency!
We need to build a giant spherical data center and humans will crawl on the outside like ants. No one will ever be more than the circumference away from another user, and all traffic can be routed through the fastest and shorted physical route.
Then the rest of the earth gives us 24/7 solar power. 10/10 super happy love love!

- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 5 weeks ago:
What everyone has missed so far:
Societies typically have a value for human life - it’s often cheap. A wrongful death lawsuit is an example of this.
However, individuals with names are where it gets messy and personal and emotional.
The Republican counter to Obamacare was that “Death Panels” would tell you when it was time to put your granny down because she was costing the state too much (what they said, not what Oabamacare’s policy really was). Once it became a question of “look at your Grandma Stevens and ask yourself when it’s time to put her down” that’s when it upset people.
Also, on the flip side, pets are animals that we have forced to some degree, to put up with our BS to have a stable food source. Humans do tons of wacky shit to them. We castrate them, cut off parts of their ears and tails, cut out their uteruses, breed them to be genuine abominations, cut their hair, teach them tricks, make them wear sweaters and shoes and jewelry, and make them eat pellets made by a machine from the parts of animals we don’t want to eat ourselves. Part of breeding them and buying them is the convenience of their lives in ours - we demand they be in our lives, and so people also play a role when they exit our lives. It’s an unnatural life for most pets, and we caused it.
Which all depends on how much a society really gets into pets. Plenty of places eat dogs and cats because it’s meat that grows itself. In parts of Eastern Europe, they only fix stray female dogs, not the males, because the patriarchal men making decisions don’t want to emasculate the boy dogs.
As for euthanasia in general, compassionate care of an aged pet often doesn’t align with how people put down a pet. Many shitbag people drown inconvenient animals, including pets. Some abandon their pets miles from home in hopes of them never coming back. Some only put them down when the vet bills get too expensive. A good vet will show you a chart that helps you understand how much pain an animal is in and let the owner who wants the pet to live forever for the owner’s emotional needs understand that they have to make a decision to end it. This is exceptionally rare, and not the way things go for 99.999% of the species made our pets on this planet.

Really, there’s not enough coffee listed, you need at least two more espressos in there to be anything close to accurate. And then depending on where you’re at, there could be a nap in there. Plus a 30 minute phone call to your Nonna and half a dozen other people complaining about the drama started with the previous call. Then going to Carrefour or whatever’s close to buy sparkling water, bread, and cheese for dinner because you already have a plastic jug of wine from your parent’s house at home.
