  • Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.

    I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.

    Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.

    The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.

    I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.










  • For me it depends entirely on 1) which hobby and 2) how the mainstream audience shapes it; if investors believe they can make more money by promoting certain aspects of the hobby, they can change it’s entire landscape. And that’s not even getting into what can happen when IP law gets involved.

    It’s a shitty tradeoff to have to make, because sometimes I just want to everyone to enjoy what I enjoy. I’ve also seen hobbies die from too much exposure.


  • One is trying to tangle a ball of yarn into.a mess and the other is attempting to untangle it and knit a cardigan.

    Building on this metaphor, one of my single biggest frustrations with the left is how many of them won’t accept anything short of a fully knit cardigan; unless they get exactly what they want, they’d rather just hand it over to the tanglers.
