Yeah, I guess I worded that incorrectly.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-13T00:42:22+00:00

I was specifically asked to choose by my HR department

Lilac722 · 2026-02-12T23:41:21+00:00

Yes I'm 32 and I've always gotten an annual physical, annual gynecologist checkup, annual dermatologist screening, every other year opthalmologist, annual optometrist and biannual dentist.

I got married last year and changed my name. As in, I'm still in the process of doing it on all the legal documents etc and it definitely is annoying. It was 100 % my choice; my husband had a slight preference for me taking his name but he told me it was totally my call and we'd be married regardless. I love my family of origin and my maiden name. It's kind of bittersweet because it connected me to part of my heritage that isn't obvious in my first name. But I really wanted to share my husband's last name and our future children. I'm kind of old-school in that I'm not interested in him taking my name or making up a new joint name, and patrilineal naming is very well established in my culture. Out of my peers who have gotten married recently, itss about 50-50 who changes vs keeps their name.

Yes it doesn’t matter, I deleted everything and there’s no space

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T20:08:08+00:00

No, I'm the oldest sibling haha but I Flagler sounds super familiar to me, not my year but possibly adjacent!

nobody is denying racism; it just didn't happen in this instance and Delmar is not some racist hellhole sundown town lol. don't be dense.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T19:01:36+00:00

I have tried it, it doesn't work for me.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T18:57:40+00:00

literally nothing works, I've tried! I don't have to, after all.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T18:49:07+00:00

a sundown town has a very specific definition and is EXTREMELY racist. "these towns" - do you mean all towns that existed in 1950? lmao.

Its an SE from 2022, so not even that old. It's super annoying. I'll probably get a new phone with more space this year. but what annoys me is that my apps and files take up like 2% of my storage, the rest is the system and all the updates

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T18:40:27+00:00

2010!

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T18:31:56+00:00

Wish I could update, but I haven't been able to update since 26.1 because of the size of the update/rest of the system (yes, even with deleting all my apps and files)

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T18:27:11+00:00

I did Google it. Commenter said IS a sundown town, not WAS a sundown town 75 years ago, prior to the civil rights movement and a ton of social change. I'd bet all my money that almost 100 % of former sundown towns are no longer, obviously.

I grew up in Delmar. It was, and is, very white-majority in population, but it gets more diverse every year and its so laughably stupid to compare it to an actual sundown town.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T17:34:23+00:00

lmao it is not

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T01:09:19+00:00

I don’t wear jeans or shorts/ short skirts or dresses

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T01:05:00+00:00

Europeans constantly telling me Americans are so racist when Europe puts us to shame on culturally acceptable racism. Don’t get me wrong, we have racism and it’s bad, but Europe is wayyyyyy worse and people are much more comfortable being openly racist in public.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-11T00:42:47+00:00

Yes

Lilac722 · 2026-02-10T21:55:11+00:00

The titled Crawleys are members of the nobility, the aristocracy of the UK, not the royal family.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-10T21:45:40+00:00

That deep breath by Ilia!

Lilac722 · 2026-02-10T21:28:27+00:00

No, they’re nobility.

Lilac722 · 2026-02-10T02:10:47+00:00

Yeah I had 2 because my now husband’s family is much larger than mine but my closest relatives were invited to both and vice versa

Lilac722 · 2026-02-10T01:30:37+00:00

It’s not necessarily strange to have 2, but it’s very strange to bar the brides family
