I have an MSN email account that I access through Outlook and I’ve had it for about 20 years now. All my important communications come to that email. Lately, I’ve been getting an unbelievable amount of junk mail. I used to be able to block the sender and things would be fine for a while. Not so anymore! I emptied the junk...
I know (sigh). I should probably start migrating to something else, but there are soooo many things that are tied to this email account. I need to find out if I can forward from outlook to something else - that might help catch anything that might fall through the cracks.
I will start this week. It’s one of those things that I’ve known that I should do for a very long time, but just have been putting off because it’s a pain in the butt. I guess how’s the time, huh?
I’m so glad I’m not alone! I think you’re right and it could be a little bit of both. I took the advice here and reported over 200 today alone - that’s just insane!
I’m pushing half a century in an industry that is not kind to old guys. I try to fend it off but every now and then it hits me. I’m pretty sure this is not unique to my life experience, or it wouldn’t have a term :-)
At 50+, I get it almost daily. I never had it before. Not sure if its the state of the world we live in now, aging, or a combination of both. All I know is I’m glad I’m old and won’t be around to see some of the stuff I’m scared of.
I’ve been tipping pizza type deliveries 20% since Covid, but it seems high to me. What’s everyone tip their delivery guys? I don’t want to short them, but I don’t want to go broke either.
Thanks everyone. I didn’t mean to start a debate, I just wanted to know the average tip. With the rising costs of food, delivery has gotten very expensive for the same amount of food and same delivery trip, yet the tips keep going up on my end. I want to be fair, but don’t want to go broke either.
Hey all, I have updated the menopause wiki! (it’s listed in the sidebar) I figured it was time for a refresh. I have expanded a number of different sections, to go into better detail about some of the more common symptoms (frustrations, like weight)....
Ohmygosh, thank you so much!! I was just complaining to hubby yesterday that if I was still on that other site that I could find a doctor in my area, but I didn’t want to even go to the site. This is a god send, thank you and hugs to you virtual stranger!!!
I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing....
I’m in the US and deleted all my posts & comments months ago. I also deleted my account when the whole ruckus started over there. Just tried this search and low and behold, my old posts came up. Not happy about this.
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
I totally agree. Folks are much nicer here and I feel more free to make a comment, no matter how mundane. I’m commenting and posting more than I ever would before because no one beats me up here. I still have the fear of posting anything because of the backlash, but I think that’s ptsd from the other site and I’m getting over it slowly but surely. I love this place.
This is awesome! I’m so glad this came out so quickly, I didn’t expect it so soon. Big thanks to the dev team, all of us refugees really appreciate you and your hard work!! It’s so nice to have a place to call home now :)
I’m new, an original refugee and don’t understand everything yet. I’m finding this place much more friendly and helpful and like it much better. I’m older (55) and used to work in IT, but all this still baffles me. I’m not going back because I abhor what’s going on. I’m hopeful that with time, all my favorite subs will be here and I already spend a lot of time here. I feel much more free to comment without fear of retribution and that’s a welcome relief. It was rather ostracizing on Reddit to feel that I shouldn’t comment because of all the negativity I would get. My life’s hard enough without getting put down for every little thing I said. I love it here and I’ve only been here for a week or so. Thanks everyone for being so nice.
The vow to extend the demonstration came after CEO Steve Huffman reportedly sent a memo to staff saying Reddit would “get through it” while opining that “like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.” In response to Huffman doubling down, a user wrote, “Let them fuck around and find out.”...
Thank you! I did a search last night for quilting, but it came back with 0 communities. It’s probably me though, I just joined and am still figuring out how to use everything. I’m sure I did something wrong.

What’s the average tip for a delivery driver in the US?

Reddit undeleting comments and hiding them
I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing....
I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?

Subreddits you are going to miss?
I'm going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.
