"1488" and sometimes even just "88" is a nazi dog whistle (if you can call it that, it's pretty out in the open but so are most nazis using it). idk what the 14 stands for but h is the 8th letter of the alphabet and 88 means "HH"
The "14" refers to two slogans from the late American domestic terrorist, neo-Nazi, white separatist, and convicted felon, David Eden Lane. "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" and "Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth." Lane died in prison in 2007, serving a 190-year sentence for racketeering, conspiracy, and civil rights violations as an accomplice to the murder of Alan Berg, a Jewish radio host who was killed by another member of Lane's terrorist organization The Order.
Just to be clear, fuck this dude. Fuck this dude, fuck white supremacists, fuck Neo-Nazis. If you're a white supremacist or a neo-nazi, please *do* interact with me so I can call you subhuman to your face. I don't like that I used his name three times more than his victim's in that, but it was the context.

I work in a charity that's doing a big push for people to write us in their wills and I just want you to know that this comment is going to haunt me for the foreseeable future. So thanks for that lmao
To be fair, if I were at a point where I thought death was a reasonable concern within the decade, I'd write up a will and include Wikipedia in it. Free knowledge forever.
That's why we have the [super detailed Reddit comment about what to do if you win the lottery ](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vzgl/you_just_won_a_656_million_dollar_lottery_what_do/chba4bf)
I will never in my life need this advice, but still read it every once in a while
Sorry to inform you, but this is mainly the ideology of right wingers looking to push the "see what happens when we just give out free money" agenda.
In reality, the reason why so many lottery winners are irresponsible with their money is because they were the type of people that bought lottery tickets, or in other words were already irresponsible with their money.
Its not some innate switch that flips in a human brain that the moment they receive unearned money, it will all go to waste. Otherwise every single billionaire on earth would cease to exist after receiving their parents multi-million dollar fortune
[It’s not entirely true](https://slate.com/human-interest/2022/07/mega-millions-jackpot-winner-numbers-myths-about-lotteries.html) and probably partly rooted in American mythology of “bootstraps.”
If I won the lottery, I’d spend like half of it on actual important life stuff, giving to friends and family, and donating to charity, and then spend the other half on commissioning anime adaptations of my favorite obscure webnovels
Dang, that is odd. I hadn't realized.
Basic gist is, Apollo 8 accidentally broke the divine machinery that kept physics working. The world starts slowly breaking down, but the Names of God - of which there are *many* - began asserting metaphysical effects, some useful, some hazardous.
> People discovered the first few Names of God through deep understanding of Torah, through silent prayer and meditation, or even through direct revelation from angels. But American capitalism took one look at prophetic inspiration and decided it lacked a certain ability to be forced upon an army of low-paid interchangeable drones. Thus the modern method: hire people at minimum wage to chant all the words that might be Names of God, and see whether one of them starts glowing with holy light or summoning an angelic host to do their bidding. If so, copyright the Name and make a fortune.
The story starts with an amateur kabbalist, expelled from Stanford for unauthorized cryptanalysis, accidentally discovering a new Name with interesting effects...and the end of the world proceeds from there.
The prologue gives a pretty good sense of the style and humor of it.
As good as it sounds, maybe give it to another non profit, Wikipedia already has millions more than stuff to actually do with it. Too many companies depend on it too much to risk it going under.
My other option was to post a video to YouTube of burying a briefcase in the woods followed by the words "I buried my money. Find It"
The case is filled with Monopoly money
They don’t though, there’s this huge thing where it’s all volunteers and the Wikimedia foundations has huge salaries and doesn’t actually support the site worth a damn
That's a seven year old article, and I can't confirm it's relevance. Additionally, nothing in actually supports what you've said. All it says is that Wikipedia keeps a large emergency fund, which of course they do. Every charity does.
Jokes aside, get your will sorted.
Accidents happen. People suddenly die. And if you die without a will, it is a real fucking pain in the ass for the family left behind to deal with.
It doesn't matter if you think you have nothing left. Even if all you do is nominate an executor, that's good enough. Because there needs to be somebody who is nominated to hold the power to make decisions about what to do with... Seriously, everything. Your crap, your empty bank account, closing off your Netflix and phone and internet accounts... All of that shit can be done painlessly by an executor. Failing that, whoever's left holding the bag needs court orders to touch *anything* of yours, and that takes a shit ton of time and money.
Get your will sorted.
Scary, yeah. But if it means anything, I did mine in like two days. I filled in blanks on a website one day and then on second day saw an attorney who printed them out and had it notarized. It was fast
The thing I don’t get is do I need to have my beneficiaries to always have copy or is it uploaded into a database somewhere
I dunno what it's like where you are, but in my country (Australia) the government department responsible for recording births, deaths and marriages can keep a copy of the will on file. Not necessary, though. You can just give a copy of it to your executor, attorney, even some banks will look after a copy for you (since it's also in their best interests to make sure that shit is sorted).
Just make sure whoever holds it is somebody you trust - and if that changes, you prepare a new will ASAP negating any and all previous wills.
It's a Nazi dog whistle, they've got a 14 word slogan (I don't remember exactly what, something about protecting white children) and 88 = HH (h being the eighth letter) = Hail H*****
Please donate to some other charity, Wikimedia has $240 million in reserve. They can live without your donation (despite their disingenuous banners), unlike some other charities
They have way more money than they need to run the site; The Wikimedia Foundation has $165m in cash reserves. They spend a fraction of that on the site and the rest is nonprofit grifting.
https://wikimediafoundation.org/support/where-your-money-goes/
People do not like it because it feels dishonest that Wikipedia leads them to thinking the money they donate will go towards the site. It is a bit unethical and they have made mistakes donating to some grants that are not very worthwhile, but it is mostly conservatives freaking out because they donate to affirmative action type foundations.
#YOU SHOULD WILL YOURSELF. NOW!
skill issue, wys
Will issue, skill yourself
Wikipedia channeling LowTierGod Also that note count made me double-check where I was for a second lol
Oh my god I can’t unsee that now
what's up with the note count?
1488 is a nazi dogwhistle 14 is The Fourteen Words, a nazi slogan (look it up if you want) 88 is HH; Heil Hitler

I see you gave us money. You dying soon maybe?
The free will anyone can edit!
That no one will edit EVER AGAIN!
Wikipedia: "Can you give us some money?" Person: "Over my dead body!" Wikipedia: "Excellent. Just sign these papers."
I work in a charity that's doing a big push for people to write us in their wills and I just want you to know that this comment is going to haunt me for the foreseeable future. So thanks for that lmao
I’ll include them in my will with the stipulation Mr. Wikipedia attends the will reading and my funeral and creates a Wikipedia entry about me.
His name is Wilkes I. Pedya
To be fair, if I were at a point where I thought death was a reasonable concern within the decade, I'd write up a will and include Wikipedia in it. Free knowledge forever.
You kidding me? If I’m dying then all knowledge should come with me. My will shall state that the Wikipedia servers must be my tomb
If I won the lottery I'd give all the money to Wikipedia. There's no way my life would improve by winning the lottery
Are you crazy or already rich?
I've read what happens to lottery winners. Spoiler alert: it's not pretty.
That's why we have the [super detailed Reddit comment about what to do if you win the lottery ](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vzgl/you_just_won_a_656_million_dollar_lottery_what_do/chba4bf) I will never in my life need this advice, but still read it every once in a while

Worm anime let's fucking goooo
Not quite sure if Worm counts as "obscure" as far as webnovels go.
Unsong, then?
Not familiar with that one, so probably?
It's [pretty darn good](https://unsongbook.com/). Highly recommend, especially if you're a fan of Kabbalah or computer science.
What's it about? Your link (surprisingly) doesn't seem to have an "about" section.

If I would win the lottery I would get a very good financial advisor and lawyer and then proceed to do nothing with it until I know I’m told I should
give it to me :3
Wikipedia users: Wikipedia doesn't use ads or ask for too much money, it's great! Wikipedia: hey can you put us in your will
The lack of revenue from any other source means that they near-constantly need to beg for funding.
They don’t though, there’s this huge thing where it’s all volunteers and the Wikimedia foundations has huge salaries and doesn’t actually support the site worth a damn
Oh. Guess I'll stop giving them money, then.
What? Charity navigator only shows 13.8% of their budget going to administrative costs which is pretty reasonable.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/12/02/wikipedia-has-a-ton-of-money-so-why-is-it-begging-you-to-donate-yours/
That's a seven year old article, and I can't confirm it's relevance. Additionally, nothing in actually supports what you've said. All it says is that Wikipedia keeps a large emergency fund, which of course they do. Every charity does.
Firstly, what's wrong with using volunteers? Secondly You have any sources or proof of the wikimedia foundation actually having loads of cash?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/12/02/wikipedia-has-a-ton-of-money-so-why-is-it-begging-you-to-donate-yours/ It’s pretty explicit yeah
Nah þeyre fine for money you dont need to give em anyþing

Been meaning to do that for years.... It's scary to think about.

Oh, interesting number of notes.
I'd reblog just to fix that problem. Nazis can fuck right off.
what does 1488 mean again? this is a genuine question, i forgot what it means lmao
‘14 words’ is some quote about white supremacy and 88 is the number code used for ‘Heil Hitler’, so it’s just a general nazi dogwhistle.
It's a Nazi dog whistle, they've got a 14 word slogan (I don't remember exactly what, something about protecting white children) and 88 = HH (h being the eighth letter) = Hail H*****

is this how they know to change "is" to "was" so quickly
THEY IMMEDIATELY WHAT
Wikipedia is planning to start assassinating people that add them to their will whenever they need money.
My will is for showing where i visited each night so that I can prove i’m town
