@gaditb yeah i think it is current and they just scrubbed “maiden name” because sometimes men change their name on marriage and “maiden” is gendered

reasonable, but kind of awkward when it comes to findability

@gaditb (searching for “maiden” obviously would not bring up “birth” if it isn’t mentioned in the surrounding text, which i suppose it was not?)

@gaditb oh! i was thinking of a very similar example which used "maiden" instead of "birth"… is this current??

@gaditb it’s also pretty unsatisfactory; in current American traditions some people consider a maiden name a first surname and some consider it a last middle name, with differing implications for sorting and format, and there is no obvious T·E·I mechanism to distinguish the two

@gaditb if you check the URL this is outdated documentation in the Vault, not current recommended practice

does T·E·I seriously not have a single word of current guidance on how to classify maiden names

maybe instead of trying to write difficult complicated fanfiction i should just resurrect all of these ideas i had for Nabla

neat, so if i scan a page of text and then print it out, surely that is an image too, right?

@Satsuma i think what differentiates homeowners is they have a long term path to the bourgeoisie laid out for them if they just keep playing along

@Satsuma arguably all proletariat are this, with the possible exception of lumpenproles, for a short enough definition of “short term”

@Satsuma (there is also a question of if people who are in debt are truly homeowners but)

@Satsuma middle class is historically considered homeowners but that’s been strongly challenged by millennials, altho maybe the middle class that aren’t homeowners are bourgeois in some other way

people make a big deal about Nintendo games being developed by third party studios as though Game Freak, Intelligent Systems, HAL Laboratory, RARE, Retro Studios, etc aren’t responsible for most of their hits

“nintendo didn’t actually develop X!!” yeah, thank God

Working Families Party uses the terms “working class” for proletariat and “middle class” for bourgeoisie for obvious not wanting to look like communists reasons
