    Never ask a verified Twitter user what the number 88 means in their name

      When I was in university I made a friend with 88 in his email, White guy. He was very cool and really nice and we became pretty close so I asked him what it was about and he said it was because he was born in 1988. I explained the Nazi connection and he was pretty shocked. He was very anti-Nazi, because his grandpa fought the Nazis or something for what it’s worth, he just didn’t know.

      But, yeah, I normally assume the worst especially given other red flags.
