It has the context. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago (2 children) Right, just making sure you know that you are making up a situation to argue about when the other people are talking about real life as portrayed in the article. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago (1 child) 🙄 you jump into a discussion without understanding the context, told that you're not understanding the context, and you get insulted. If you don't understand what's going on, maybe read before you respond instead making yourself look like a fool. Good day sir. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Grimy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* It feels weird that you are so adamant about saying "but this wouldn't work if it was a fake name!". Everyone knows this? What's your point? As if it's an issue, and people are using their new name in job interviews and official paperwork before it's legally changed. No one here is saying your employer can't push back if the name you give them doesnt show up in governmental systems. Who are you having this convo with? I'm sure you mean well but it felt you were trying to be purposefully obtuse. permalink fedilink source parent
