If you save her live twice every year, how many lives did you save per year?

The first save gets downgraded from a "life save" to a "6 months save". You have to return the hero crown they gave you.
You saved her life. Twice.
You saved one life twice. But is there any significance to this being 'her' rather than 'they'? Did you have a specific person in mind?
In some languages (i.e., italian and spanish), "person" is a feminine word (the word itself has ha gender, grammatically). Maybe OP isn't a native english speaker and they're just translating literally their thought, implying "someone" as "a person".
If it was 'he' nobody would have questioned it, which kinds gives me pause for thought.
It would have bothered me to the same degree, I don't know about you. I haven't seen anyone on Lemmy using 'he' as a 'gender neutral' pronoun yet, but I assure you I would correct it just as I regularly do in real life.
I try to notice it but often fail.
Doesn’t matter, MJ still friendzones Peter.
as Uncle Ben used to say, "With great power comes great entitlement"
One. It's the same life, otherwise you could save infinite lives by care taking for a suicidal octogenarian
Unless they got pregnant in between
You usually can't get pregnant in your 80's lol
Oh i was more commenting on the OP's original question
Your banker made fun of you. That's not how life savings accounts work.
If you Murderdeathkill someone, and they come back as a zombie, can you still get in trouble?
Very rare Demolition Man reference.
I would ask The Fray. They seemed to know a lot about How To Save A Life.
None. You didn't save anything. You merely prolonged their suffering. Sicko.
If they caught some babies or other parasite in the meantime, you may have saved much more lives.
It's even more ambiguous given that it's specifically a "her" so if she was pregnant, it could complicate things depending on your view on whether or not a fetus is a life...
👀
Although a 'he' could also have a womb. It's interesting how OP has assigned a gender to this post, not really oddly specific but getting there.
None. God clearly wants her dead and you're just delaying the inevitable.
One plus the number of lives she saved each time you save her.
Under US law you can now murder that person twice, because of the Judd Act.
This may depend on how many lives she took in between?
1 lives it's the same life but you saved that specific life twice
Under the premise of a life not being a commodity, then each time you save a specific life it counts as +1 life saved. Or if you're a bastard then who cares.
