Sorry yeah I was trying to make that point but forgot what I was talking about as I typed it out
When you’re born, you’re not 1. You turn 1 at the end of the year. When you are born, you are 0 years old. Birth marks age, but birth itself can extend between two dates - labour can start on a Monday, but end on a Tuesday. Then there’s also the fact that there’s a common mistake people make - the difference is not the same as counting something.
Let’s say you’ve collected some volumes of a book series. You’ve collected volumes 17 through 21. How many volumes did you collect?
If you do 21-17, you get 4. However, that’s the difference between 21 and 17.
If you list it out and count it, you have FIVE volumes, not four.
17 18 19 20 21
It’s really about how you calculate values and mark it. If you are born on Jan 1st, 2010, you don’t turn 1 until you reach Jan 1st, 2011. However, if you’re born in August 1st, 2010, you haven’t turned 1 on Jan 1st, 2011.

Europe@feddit.org•Angelique Geray, journalist infiltrated among German neo-Nazis: ‘What surprised me most is that these young people are serious’English
11·2 months agoThe right only tends to be organized because of boot-licking disguised as hero-praising, their love of rigid hierarchies (even among the libertarians, though they’ll call toxic social behaviour “law of the jungle,”) and general unification towards “the enemy,” which constantly shifts as needed. The right becomes self-destructive as it allows itself to be overtly fascist, because then they circle in on themselves (RINO’s, marginalized people voting right-wing, etc)
It’s not that different than leftist in-fighting (although it comes from different place I think.) IMO the greatest weakness the left has is that we’re nowhere near as organized and as motived for unified change as the right.
Yes, but on one condition - I get to upvote the unicorn

23·2 months agoThis is great, sometimes you need to have those solid, clear boundaries.
If you want to be somewhat “diplomatic,” what I’ll do is give a response depending from whom it comes from.
Not my boss: “please check with my boss to see if he wants me to drop anything to help you.”
my boss: “I’m doing x, y, and z. Which do you want me to drop so I can do this new task?”
