- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 4 days ago:
I figure I’d be mostly ok, the email I use for things I’d need to save is stored locally by thunderbird so I could still access those emails, the only problem would be changing the email on a few services.
The hardest part would be replacing that email address. That said, anyone have a rec for a good email service, preferably free, with IMAP/POP3 for use with tbird, that is at least ostensibly private (I know, email is inherently not private, but ykwim), and doesn’t just get shoved in spam on gmail (since that’s what everyone else has)? Riseup would be cool for instance but it’s impossible to get an invite. I’m thinking I may just pay mailbox.org but I’d prefer not to.

Sometimes you can reach out to support and get them to fix it, but not always. Worth a shot, if you can remember the services that need to be changed lol.

That packing the court bit is a great idea so long as you can make sure your guy wins forever and nobody bad will ever get in and pack the court again in their favor. It’s basically MAD, nobody wants to be the person to open that Pandora’s Box.

Nobody’s, cat just don’t like walks. I can show pics though if you’ll just stop running!

No fair! My cat is at home.

Lol not gonna lie, I kinda like the smell of this grease myself! Now I just need to find a woman who uses a lot of anti seize grease at work!
(Tbh, I fully welcome it, my last ex couldn’t hold down a job and it really fucked with our budget, I’m looking for someone who can this time! Stockholm syndrome jokes aside lol.)
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
Well “shave” and “wash” are two very different things, and you can also “brush!”
Lol I know it was for folks that don’t like the scraggly bits, but there’s people out there that do too, that one person’s preferences are far from universal. Like, I’m not a fan of those straight bangs that were popular a while back but some people are, and that’s ok too! That said I’d never tell a woman to trim her bangs though, if I like her it’s for more than her hairstyle so I can put up with one I don’t like.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
I’m going for length, I clean it though. Currently however I must’ve got some aeroshell 64 in it though because the smell won’t leave and I won’t be able to shower for like another 8h, so I smell industrial.

That’s a dealbreaker, I’m out.
- Comment on Anon meets up with a girl 1 week ago:
No shave, have beard, will not capitulate to demands. If you can’t accept my face at it’s harriest you don’t deserve the parts I do trim!
I have sensitive skin lol and razor bumps are laaaaaaame.

- Comment on I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement? 1 week ago:
Btw just a heads up, Ivermectin is prescribed to horses, yes, and humans. Kinda like Ketamine, or the Gabapentin I was prescribed to ease my cat’s transition to the afterlife (RIP my dude.) It’s also a pill, not a paste, I actually have a couple packs from when it was in the news because my friend thought it was funny and grabbed me some lol. It’s a dewormer though not an antiviral, so if you get worms or other parasites you may get prescribed it but definitely not for any virus. It’s like trying to take penicillin for a runny nose, like, yeah, penicillin is prescribed to humans and animals, but not for that.

Young white men are included under “Young People and Students.”
Old white men are included under “Seniors and Retirees
White straight able bodied men age 25-64 who are no longer students but have yet to retire, and a union doesn’t exist in their industry (as far as they know)? Fuck 'em lol. Wait are they religious, rural, a business owner, or a veteran? No? Ok yeah fuck 'em!
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
Sure, that might work, or give it to them up front (protip btw, you want GREAT service? Frontload that tip, your server will break the law for you if you do that lol).
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
And I was agreeing, thus starting the comment with “that is the way,” which I’m assuming you missed.
And sure, and I’m assuming you mean more than $7.25, but there’d be a lot of missed rent and power bills along the way until they catch up.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
9/10 chance that goes to cover part of your bill and the waiter gets fucked, but if you could guarantee they pocket it that’d work.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
Keyword if, if everyone voted third party they’d win too, the rub is “that isn’t going to happen.”
Furthermore, so everyone doesn’t tip, now that employer has to pay the guy a whole $43.50 for the day, the employer barely notices and the waiter chooses whether to pay his power bill or his water bill this month.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
Don’t like the country you’re in? Just move! Homeless? Just quit being poor bro. Addicted to drugs? Just quit! Have ADHD? Just pay more attention in class (thanks mom, that never occurred to me. Heavy eyeroll.)
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
And who is hurt by not tipping
The staff member who is likely significantly impoverished…
OR
The business owner who got the $12 he’s charging you for tendies?
The business owner doesn’t give two shits if you tip, they get paid either way and $7.25 an hour per employee is pocket change to them.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
This is the way. By not tipping you’re just fucking over the server, not the business. To hurt the business’ bottom line you have to not go. Or dine and dash, but that then fucks the server harder while also affecting the business.

It’s a list taken from every complaint I’ve heard from women about being asked out in those places, usually accompanied by general statements about how “it’s never ok to ask a woman out there” or how “all women hate it.” Both IRL and online.
If you’d like to do an experiment, make a post, here or on reddit or some public forum, asking “Women of X, where is it inappropriate to ask a woman on a date?” If every place I listed isn’t mentioned in the thread (without mentioning this experiment, has to be blind) I’ll put my hat in my butt.
Men will tell you “just hit on her at a hobby bro, go to the gym” women will say “hell no I’m here to work out not hook up, we get hit on at the gym constantly it’s exhausting.” By that math it has to be working for some men some times for them to suggest it, but it clearly is also making women uncomfortable.

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley. People can be creeped out by things that don’t creep you out, you know.
And what, you like junk mail that is 100% just a waste of resources in a world where we’re hurdling towards total climate annihilation? It could have just as easily been an email everyone ignored rather than a mailer everyone ignored.
- Comment on You have 8 seconds. 3 weeks ago:
Also don’t ask women out at the gym, at work, in a store, on the street, or any hobby where they just want to enjoy themselves and not have to be asked out politely or otherwise.
The only acceptable places according to women are on the apps and in bars, or church supposedly if you’re one of those.
I don’t do the privacy violating apps, I don’t drink much anymore, and both of those are more “hook up” culture while I want like “an actual relationship,” and church just isn’t for me. Like, I could go hang out but I’m not going to believe in your gods, and that is a point of contention with the faithful.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Well, being read rather than said, I’d argue the tone is inferred by the reader.
And in any case, as a privacy focused individual, I’m not exactly crazy about either. I’m also not crazy about junk mail, so junk mail that implies it’s watching me in any form, I double don’t like. Y’all killing trees for this fucking bullshit?! No thanks.

Tbf women say they find just interacting with men at all intimidating, see: Bears. I just don’t talk to anyone anymore tbh.
I’m gonna die alone with my cats, but at least I won’t be called creepy for asking a woman out for coffee!
Use the apps
No, privacy nightmare.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
“But the fact that you voted is pubic record” implies “we’re paying attention and could hassle in some form those who abstain if we choose.”
(Well, that’d be the argument for “threat” in the above text anyway. Imo threat or not it’s poorly worded leading to it being creepy, but that’s probably the extent of it. I doubt we’ll see any side round up and execute abstainers or some crazy shit like that.)
