a decade ago, anything gen z did was attributed to "millenials" because people assumed it meant "born after 2000" instead of 1980-'95. now, anything gen α does is attributed to gen z, because people assume it just means "the youth with their devices and stuff"

looking forward to being gen x's replacement in ~30 years, where nothing anyone in my age bracket does is correctly attributed

@tretron@bark.lgbt i thought about it more - i think my point is that it's objective, as in it's not based on a subjective opinion, but it's still ambiguous, so it's best to be clear (or just use 24hr time)

Replying to @tretron@bark.lgbt

@tretron@bark.lgbt if there's some confusion if 00:00 or 12:00 (24hr) is "12am", it's resolved as soon as it hits 00:00:00.01 (12:00:0.01 am) or 12:00:00.01pm - for every use case where it's not important enough to use 24hr or UTC, you treat 12:00:00 the same as 12:00:01 - it's pm this is primary school stuff in countries that use am/pm, so looking it up I'm surprised the US government standard was backwards for so long (2008!), but it seems like at least governments are all on the same page now

@PupWrafie@bark.lgbt @tretron@bark.lgbt there is no "0" with AM/PM - imagine an analogue clock, and you swap AM/PM every time you hit the 12. noon is 12PM, because most of the hour is after noon.

@FurryBeta@shark.community @tretron@bark.lgbt midnight on wednesday is wednesday night - it's technically ambiguous, sure, but i think you'd get a similar 98%/2% split because most people understand that you're talking about "wednesday night, at midnight"

@jcoglan @whitequark most often here there'll be one, maybe two showings for the property (shit-out-of-luck if you can't make it that day), then assuming the property isn't hellishly bad the agent will get a bunch of offers (all done through one of a few truly awful web platforms that take way too much personal info) and the agent picks one of those at their leisure. usually unless you make the highest offer you won't even get your application looked at (some of the web platforms tell you if they looked or not...)

@jcoglan @whitequark it's completely normal in Australia - some places have rules against the real estate agent asking if you'd like to pay more than someone else, but as far as I know it's still legal for you to make and for them to accept a higher-than-advertised price
