Man, that one was so much worse than I remembered. I thought it was just part of a wider gesture, but that heil and the wave that came afterward are clearly two different emotes

I was hesitant at first, but like. What the hell else is he doing? He isn’t gesturing to emphasize something he’s saying, he isn’t waving at anyone, he isn’t addressing the crowd. Literally the only thing it can reasonably be is a heil.

I file them the moment I get my W-2. Why wait? You aren’t paying less if you owe, and you won’t be refunded more

“There’s no point living, so you may as well die” is so last decade. “There’s no point dying, so you may as well live” is where it’s at

It depends on where you live. Some regions have a limited list of acceptable names, some places just have limited lists of unacceptable names, but I can’t find anywhere that explicitly bans Null.

It does suck to be named Null, though. It’s like two steps down from not being given a social security number as an infant

I mean you can check my math, I just added up all the births per year in this article

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/06/12/how-many-people-were-born-the-year-you-were-born/111928356/

Rounding to one significant figure, it’s 311.9 million people born in the US between 1933 and 2018. Adding an average of 4 million births per year since then, it’s 335.9. I rounded up to 350 to bring it to a nice round number

A bit of research tells me that around 44.8 million of us are first generation immigrants, so 291.1 million were born here. Is it reasonable to assume that 291.1 out of the 335.9 million people born since 1933 have survived so far? I have absolutely no idea, I’m not a professional census taker

I don’t think we’ve gone through 999 million options yet. Only about 350 million people have been born since 1933, so even if we add all 127 million US citizens alive in 1935, that’s just over half of the possible social security numbers.

The reason we’ve likely reused numbers is because they weren’t randomly assigned until like 2011. Knowing that I was born in 1995 in Wichita, KS, you could make an educated guess at the first three digits of my SSN

Lain is what prompted me to switch to Linux! Watching a character who doesn’t yet understand computers fuck around with a computer really inspired me to fuck around with my computer

Perfect, thank you!

I need a new password for my bank account. Any suggestions?

Since someone used it as a verb and it was understood by their audience

If the fascists running israel, the fascists running the us, the DNC, and all the other people that are to blame for this outcome were on Lemmy, you’d see us arguing against them a lot more

Sure, it would be incorrect to totally mischaracterized Harris voters as “[loving] watching Israel kill babies.” That’s not really analogous to itsonlygeorge’s comment, since our whole argument has been ‘Trump will let Israel kill more babies, so we should stop him however we can’ and the anti-electoralists’ whole argument has been ‘both candidates will let Israel kill babies, so it’s better to let the greater evil win than vote for the lesser evil’

Like, you guys got what you want. Harris lost, just like you wanted.

We absolutely will not

Better to let the greater evil win, eh? If some Palestinians are bound to die, better that American transes die too?

*I have literally seen people on Lemmy share this sentiment

Screenshot of now-deleted comment

49% of the country is voting for A

49% of the country is voting for B

2% of the country is voting C

Idunno guys, I just feel like if we work really hard to siphon votes away from B, we can make it work

Yes, because hopefully if we point out how much not voting has hurt us and everyone else, these dimwits will actually choose the lesser evil next time instead of letting the greater evil win

You are technically correct, in a way that would make Hermes Conrad blush. It is true, that nobody said “Trump will fix everything.” itsonlygeorge didn’t say that anyone literally said that exact phrase. It’s an exaggeration of the actual verbal abuse we’ve been subject to for the last year or so.

Pit bulls aren’t genetically predisposed to attacking things, but when they do attack things, they’re genetically predisposed to doing a lot more damage than most other breeds. Gameness is a thing.
