I feel like I (and probably a lot people now) don’t have a clue what most of their emails are. I don’t subscribe to anything anymore. I have no reason to routinely check it.

It’s just where receipts and account management messages (verification codes, click here to finish logging in type stuff), along with automated reminders of activities that have happened it need to happen. I haven’t checked email that wasn’t a log in thing for a very long time. And even then it was probably to check a record of some sort.

It used to be used as a primary communication protocol, now it’s just the account you need to have to make an account on what you’ll actually use.

Has anyone used it intentionally for anything more than that in the last 10 years? Personal email I mean, not for work email.

The entirety of a political right shouldn’t actually exist as anything more than theory. It should be the “dark version” of possibility we tell kids to avoid.

But here we are, actually dealing with their mental disease.

I don’t know what version of a hospital I went to, but I should give it a great review after coming out of it from how deep in it I started. shudders

Didn’t hate Jews, hate the government of Israel.

I honestly wonder what the Christian circle would do if Israel gets wiped out and there is no rapture, Armageddon, or tribulation.

Would they finally admit they’re wrong then, or will it have morphed by then?

This is the kind of thing I would look up if I could just open the book of time and look at the pages past this. Fuuuuuck the lottery numbers, I wanna watch some post and future events, or different timelines.

That’s honestly what I wish afterlife was

We die and wake up, but can travel through time at will, then that version of us dies and becomes 5th dimensional, etc.

I didn’t actually believe this of course, but I wish it was true.

But Nazicide is.

Kinda. But this “comment” system is more set up to encourage replying to others rather than the original subject.

That would be an easy fix though.

I feel like we can’t use services anymore at all. We need protocols and clients to connect to each other using those protocols and stop using centralized anything at all.

99% of what I’ve done in discord is a private server with like 5 or 6 regulars just to use voice coms in game.

But we already had that with TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, and Mumble. The UIs were fucking ugly as dog shit, but they worked.

Discord just came along and and combined a global (to a set of members) chat room and a voice service, where before those were separate.

Now if something is “just” a website then no one under like 25 will be able to hear of it, much less figure out how to use it. They need apps to be able to communicate.

The problem is that bigger services obviously have a problem of scale with that setup, so they start simple and get a bigger audience, then start the spying with some tiny change no one will check patch notes for.

These days we’re all guilty of that.

Capitalism is again the bad guy here. Monetizing everyone’s actions and identities is the particular issue. No one would feel a need to do this if it didn’t lead to more profits. I’ll bet there are a bunch of companies that started off good and fell to the dark side when they couldn’t control their monetary appetite. (Or when younger employees took on promoted positions and saw opportunity- all they had to do was (cough cough) stop not being evil (cough cough)).

Plot twist: this is just OP’s dom texting him, not father.

I wasn’t disagreeing with either of you, just adding to the sentiment by suggesting another way to achieve it.

There should be an accessibility option then. It shouldn’t be such a huge pain for everyone just so accessibility becomes the issue. Although up and down always working kinda destroys your whole point anyway.

Name me one situation where they need to use left and right instead of up/down.

This situation clearly doesn’t exist. OP is correct.
