Hahaha, wife bad

I’ll choose all 4

I wonder why black Americans are so good at making horror?? It’s a mystery

I’d be pretty disappointed if they didn’t honestly

So glad I dropped windows nearly a decade ago

I take the stance that all celebrities are terrible people until proven otherwise.

Yes, that’s true, but most people aren’t going to host an email server, because it’s a pain(I know, I administrate 3 of them), which means that Google, Apple, Microsoft, Proton, and the other big tech companies will always control the majority of email accounts, and that gives them effective control over the entire network. Our ability to self host servers outside of big techs bubble doesn’t make the bubble go away.

For what reason? Email these days is basically just a machine for marketing and identity verification, and the latter can be done better by other solutions

Plus, despite the fact that email is designed to be open, it has been perverted by big tech into an effectively closed system, as your post makes reference to. I see no real reason to keep email going, when a better less centralized system could be built to replace it.

Might I ask why you think it’s a shit take? I’m genuinely surprised so many people seem to think email needs to be defended

I mean this meme does a good job of explaining my biggest grievance, despite being a theoretically open protocol, it’s been lassoed into a nearly closed network controlled by big tech.

Beyond that, email(SMTP) is nearly 50 years old, and it has anachronistism that show

Outside of corporate life, email in the modern world is basically just a tool for marketing and identity verification, and that sucks, because I remember when it was more than that.

Something new, that doesn’t have the anachronism of a nearly 50 year old protocol.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is currently a good replacement, but I think one should be developed.

Its strange you think that I’m siding with a proprietary solution, when email is effectively controlled by major tech companies, which is one of its biggest flaws.

Honestly, it’s way past time to phase out email

Yet another reason to use Grayjay.

So glad I don’t know who jellyroll is.

Oh god, this guy again. Weirdest schizoposter

In the west coast we typically just used the name of the native tribe we killed in order to take the land.

I’ve done some rescue work, and in my training I learned even fully conscious people can drown in water well below their neck level. They can freak out and go into shock, or get too confused to figure their way up, in some cases the sudden tempature change can cause a loss of consciousness immediately upon falling in. It’s rare, but it does happen, and in a world with 8 billion people it’s going to happen with some frequency.

Plenty of people drown in waist deep water. This is such a bizarre take.

Yeah, I prefer winter(except for when the docks get icey and my forklift can’t get traction), because i can always bundle up for it, it’s like working in a cooler or freezer.

Me in my 93°F warehouse in the summer, which is also my 22°warehouse in the winter, for 12 hours a day
