      The T-Mobile experience: use 2GB of your “unlimited” data abroad on a top tier plan you got specifically because you travel a lot and wanted the roaming plan, get throttled to 256kbit/s and threatened to have your line cut off next time you do that.

        Yeah, I recently started trying their “network pass” and was quite happy that I got coverage (unlike my current carrier.) Tried creating an account to go with it, now I’m locked out for whatever reason, and my username is “null”.

        I guess I’ll just use the eSIM they gave me until they cut off my access.

        Moral of the story: T-Mobile mobile carriers suck

    In German, calling someone a Null means they’re just generally useless.

    I get a TON of spam texts where they refer to me as “There”. “There, we tried delivering your package but ran into trouble. Click this link to resend the package or it will go back to the sender” etc etc.

    …this post is the oldest link in a chain of conclusions that we could find, which lead to a turning point in history, which helped to bring about a a movement similar to the early skinhead movement of the 1900s - before ethno-nationalists had co-opted it - the difference being that skinheads wanted to solidify the identity of fhe common man, the common labourer, where as a nuller is someone who rejects identity entirely.

    You can’t be fully nullified, unless you’ve legally changed your name to null (all lowercase) and only partake in arts and entertainment dedicated to the nullification of naturalistic urges, to bring about enlightenment via the understanding of art and rejecting “the feels”. Nullers often wear bright clothing, signaling a blank slate of mind, with blank expressions, speaking in monotone voices. Even the way they speak is entirely clean, logical and direct. Therefore, to truly be a nuller, one must shed any form of identity. One must become null.

    It’s said that people have never been forcefully nullified, but there’s speculation that certain collective communities partake in practices meant to nullify the individual more effectively. The question is wether or not it is indoctrination or grooming, as the collectives swear that these processes are completely voluntary. Certain psychiatrists however claim that FOMO and a want to become nullified negates any warning or critical thinking in cases when people suffer from weakened impulse control, feel the need to satisfy others or other conditions, that the collectives may be taking advantage of vulnerable people.

    Whatever the case, nullers are found everywhere today. Non-descript people, who don’t adhere to race, nationality, religion or anything else. The famous author Dr Rinsegüld said: “a nuller is a puritanical humanist. They thrive on the idea of subverting, and even erasing the animal within. They’re tiresome sticks in the mud, who won’t dance around fires or joke at the expense of others. Whatever type of human that is, it doesn’t actually seem alive.”

    They say many who become nullified change forever. Some say that the method of personality control - both from the individual and the collective - is so powerful, that the difference between a nuller and a computer can be negligible. The various collectives and groups have their share of members, as well as their places in various lists held by governments around the world. They are spreading rapidly and some people are concerned they may turn into a full blown political movement.

    We here at TNN wish to tread carefully, but from what we’ve seen we are personally frightened and leave it up to parents out there to make the best decision for your children. If your children start dressing in all white, speaking in monotone voixe and talking with clear logical intent, unburdened by want or need, they maybe in the process of being indoctrinated. Be advised.

    Amazon’s delivery mail is still convinced that I’m called “Sebastian”. Obviously it’s not my name and never has been and none of my profile or address settings have this name anywhere as far as I can tell. Mail support was not able to help me either, constantly just suggesting the same things.

      Maybe they left a parcel with your butler. 6’6", 130lb, weird tattoo he always covers with gloves- does that ring a bell?

        I don’t know who you’re referencing, my first thought association was Sebastian from Stardew Valley.

          The titular character of the anime/manga Black Butler is named Sebastian Michaelis.
