Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn’t support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.
It’s also cheap.
I’ve been using it for a few years now, it works for me.
You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.

Ahh ok, that makes more sense. To be fair though, I rarely saw any Subarus when I lived down south, but once I moved out west they are pretty much all over. So it’s not beyond the realm of having different distributions of cars in different areas.

There are Mazda 5’s for sale near where I live in the US. Where do you live in the US that they aren’t available?

Looks like Asphalt 9 was already grabbed by someone.

I do agree with you on the accidental thing 100%. Accidents happen, but that’s different than what is being discussed.
Also, yeah it may seem funny if it happens to some high profile person, but put yourself on the receiving end of a direct intentional thing like that and you aren’t going to be overly happy about it. You definitely understand that.
I grew up in some not so great places, got bullied a lot as a kid. I don’t bully people as a result but I am a bit more defensive and would be quick to toss a jab and subsequent more if I felt the need was there.
All in all, I do feel that I want to be 100% clear that I’m not defending the guy, I don’t know the situation, dude obviously had an advantage and in the brief bit that we see it does kinda seem like they were both instigating the situation.

It’s possible, but fortunately I’m not.
It doesn’t matter if it hurt or not. The point is, if someone were to assault me I would defend myself because I would immediately be put into a position where I need to consider what this person is about to do.
Inb4 “but it didn’t hurt, it’s just liquid”, that isn’t the point. Should it be ok for people to just throw liquid on you? Ahh so just go tell the cops so they can do nothing or if you’re even less fortunate that you’re already dry at that point and that person is long gone.
So what is the right solution here? I seriously doubt you would just walk away if someone walked up to you and threw a cup of whatever in your face.

There’s a difference between trying to fight where the problem stems from and handling it in an appropriate manner and getting pissed and throwing a drink at someone.
Throwing a drink at someone and expecting to not get hit is a poor way to look at how the real world works.

No, my points are valid, not conjecture.
Your are making the point that she didn’t deserve to get hit because she assaulted him.
No, it very obviously didn’t hurt him but if someone threw a drink at me, I would respond with like treatment or worse. This is the real world, let’s treat it like it is and not beat around the bush about it.
As I mentioned before though, it’s possible (and likely) that he started the whole thing though. Without more context though we don’t know. Either way, if she assaulted him, and he started it, they are both acting stupid, plain and simple.

I’m not defending the guy but he has liquid on his back and you can barely hear him say something which sounds like she threw shit at me.
If she threw shit at him and hit him with it… I kinda don’t blame him.
If he said something nasty, racist homophobic or otherwise insulting to her and then she threw something at him, that makes it a bit more questionable on whether or not she deserved to get hit.
This needs much more context.
That being said, the dude very likely was being a prick and deserved to have shit thrown at him. Still though, if you assault someone first, don’t expect to not get it back. Male vs female, male vs male, female vs female and all other things in-between, you start shit, there might be repercussions. Make sure you are prepared to handle that.
Ignoring some bigot (if he started it with words) could have potentially saved her getting her face fucked up.
I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for that but my point is still 100% valid.
