It's 18:39 here, almost 5 and a half hour left for the new year.
To all those who already are in the new year and those who are waiting for it: I wish you all a very happy new year, have fun

Well, people are still celebrating a totally arbitrary designation of time like it actually means something and wishing me a totally unrealistic change of fortunes between 23.59 today and 00.01 tomorrow (using a clock not even based on actual noon!) and not being carted off in white vans to the asylums where they so clearly belong for maintaining such totally irrational beliefs, so .... that's one wish that won't be coming true!

I have several notifications that my connections have upcoming birthdays tomorrow - because their DOB is stored as 1900-01-01...

Better should have set their original DOBs while adding them as connections

You don't always know them - for example, do you know mine?

I have several: my real birthday (1st Jan 1900), my official birthday (31st April), and at least one other.
I acquired my official birthday in school, where it worked to prevent me being "given the bumps" for 3 years. Bullies generally aren't clever people...

They are indeed. I got so fed up with them at school that Herself now describes me as "not good at being bullied" - I tend to act with an excessive and probably inappropriate response.

How could someone expect one to be good at "being bullied"

Yeah, that's appropriate )

You'd be surprised. Most people are very good at being bullied: it starts small, so they give in and do what the bully wants. Then it gets bigger, and bigger, until they don't even realize it's happening any more - they do it because that's the way things are.
It's a lot easier to be bullied than to stand against it - and often a lot less painful (in the short term)
Look at domestic violence, some bosses and co-workers, ... it's not just in schools.

Yeah, have seen some cases where

And as you said

Making the victim more and more frustrated,leading em to hate everything around them.
Don't know how this "Bullying" thing will come to an end. Our people need to grow up mentally now, I guess.
You were "not good at being bullied", that implies that you stood against the bullies. That's pretty impressive, I must say

Yes, it is 1900-01-01.

...and if it didn't, someone would complain it didn't notify them of their great-great-grandmother's 116th birthday tomorrow.
