that’s because /femaledatingstrategy’s literal first rule is that it’s for women only, they tell you they’ll ban men straight up lol

Why would the local police swat themselves?

This is the only funny linux meme ever posted here

By “maybe something can be done,” I just mean something to stabilize us. Something to give us a new normal. But, there’s no going back to where we were at in 2024. The US as a whole is finished and something else will take its place

No. Even if he’s gone, the world is irrevocably changed. We’re all going together on this dark ride. The sooner people realize that, the better. Then maybe something can be done.

They also didn’t say he was innocent, the opposite actually. The official narrative is that he’s super guilty of a million crimes, he was just “administratively” deported incorrectly, however the deportation is still serendipitous and deserved.

Obviously, he’s innocent. That’s clear for anyone except the most die-hard MAGA cultist. So, like, the average FOX viewer

Also worth mentioning that they’ve only been snatching people off the street, meaning people who didn’t have any active warrants. If they did have warrants, they probably would have been arrested already. They’re not deporting people who are already in prison. At this point, “criminal” means anyone suspected of a crime, and that suspicion extends to any kind of criminal record, even if you’ve already served time.

Obviously, they’re going to drop the “criminal” pretense soon enough, but they will start grabbing ex-felons first. I’m terrified for members of my family who absolutely fit the description of these kinds of targets: ex-felons with tattoos who look vaguely brown.

The same reason so many white women support him, they’re brainwashed and believe his policies don’t apply to them

and it’d still work better than gimp lmao

this is extreme coping

Gimp is genuinely awful and is maybe the worst example you could have given

nono, it’s still those things too

iirc it’s also only helpful if you’re already deficient in vitamin A, which the majority of Americans aren’t. It’s the same thing with Ivermectin: it looked like it was helpful for covid in aggregate, but only in developing countries where parasites are common. So, treating someone’s parasites with a horse dewormer made the person healthier overall and meant their immune system could commit more resources to fighting covid, but someone without parasites (meaning the majority of Americans) would get absolutely no benefit.

You must not hang out around trans people IRL then. Whenever I’m out with my friends, someone usually has to make a comment about or to one of my trans friends, just to be mean I guess? I don’t even understand why people feel so happy making her upset

in this case you would just overwrite the existing row, you wouldn’t use de-duplication because it would do the opposite of what you wanted in that case.

… That’s what I said, you’d just update the row, i.e. replace the existing data, i.e. overwrite what’s already there

Definitionally, the actual identity of the person MUST be unique, otherwise you’re going to somehow return two rows, when you call one, which is functionally impossible given how a DB is designed.

… I don’t think you understand how modern databases are designed

Presumably, they also fired the staff who know how to look that information up

i genuinely cannot think of a single instance where you would want to delete one entry, and replace it with a reference to another

Well, there’s not always a benefit to keeping historical data. Sometimes you only want the most up-to-date information in a particular table or database, so you’d just update the row (replace). It depends on the use case of a given table.

what elon is implying here (remove “duplicate” entries, however that’s supposed to work)

Elon believes that each row in a table should be unique based on the SSN only, so a given SSN should appear only once with the person’s name and details on it. Yes, it’s an extremely dumb idea, but he’s a famously stupid person.

There can be duplicate SSNs due to name changes of an individual, that’s the easiest answer. In general, it’s common to just add a new record in cases where a person’s information changes so you can retain the old record(s) and thus have a history for a person (look up Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD)). That’s how the SSA is able to figure out if a person changed their gender, they just look up that information using the same SSN and see if the gender in the new application is different from the old data.

Another accusation Elon made was that payments are going to people missing SSNs. The best explanation I have for that is that various state departments have their own on-premise databases and their own structure and design that do not necessarily mirror the federal master database. There are likely some databases where the SSN field is setup to accept strings only, since in real life, your SSN on your card actually has dashes, those dashes make the number into a string. If the SSN is stored as a string in a state database, then when it’s brought over to the federal database (assuming the federal db is using a number field instead of text), there can be some data loss, resulting in a NULL.

I agree with you, except that we should ban gambling.

Yes, getting Lasik surgery is permanent. Sometimes people do regret getting Lasik eye surgery.
