Heaven forbid I have opinions!

Glad I cancelled. If the CEO is this clueless and/or and/or ignorant and/or disingenuous do I really want them responsible for my private data?

Wow. Can you let us know what you are smoking so we know to avoid it?

WTF?

What’s next a background check for breathing? Because, you know breathing is a clear and obvious pre-cursor to criming of all kinds.

Yeah, it sucks. And they haven’t been very responsive to user suggestions either. In fact the UI for their webmail hasn’t appreciably changed in like 10 years.

Nope, unfortunately. See official response posted above.

Just canceled my subscription.

Long time Posteo user. It’s pretty basic but works great, is reliable and is very cheap. Only downside is they don’t support using it with your own domain.

…and you’re out. That’s enough for me.

You are correct - I had forgotten (been quite a while). I still think it’s funny but thanks for pointing this out.

But 宝 (Bǎo) means “precious” or “treasured” and 红宝书 probably only gets translated as little red book because it sounds better in English.

Wow. They really went with Xiao hong shu?

Concur. I use Duplicati-> Backblaze.

I hate that some people call ASD a disability.

100%

Different people have different challenges. For me ASD is both very challenging at times but also a superpower.

since unemployment is so high.

It’s not though. Currently 4.2% which is on the low end of historical averages and what is considered “normal”. Not to discount your point but just to counter the ongoing narrative - largely false - about the current economy.

This drives me bananas.

On the one hand as someone with ASD, yeah, I would have loved to have a little more understanding growing up but on the other you do not get a free pass just because you are some flavor of “special”. Everyone is special. Everyone is a weird combination of neurotypcial and neurodivergent it’s just a matter of degree and how it’s all put together. When you say someone is neurotypical… how do you even know?

When you say that something is not your fault because you are neurodivergent did you even try to find a work-around? Did you try to find away to make the other person more comfortable? Did you try to exercise the understanding you demand of others? Or did you just say you don’t have to?

Mangione seemed poised to become a serial killer.

That’s pure speculation. And I hate to tell you this but people don’t typically get sentence for “future crimes”.

I just wanna know where I can get one of those suits.

A plane ticket. Others have suggested he’s bored and I concur. IMO, he needs to be intellectually challenged while simultaneously having his fears assuaged. Fear, I believe, is a key driver in pushing people toward fascist ideologies. Most likely he fears not being loved.

Traveling to countries with very different cultures can be both stimulating and reassuring, especially if it involves some significant challenge - a physical one like climbing a significant peak or somewhere that’s just super hard to get to. You can demonstrate that you love and care for him by going with him. Just the two of you.

“We should call our representatives”

“na na why should I bother? This requires effort and I have to figure out what to say. And anyway my cynicism dictates that it doesn’t matter. na na blah blah”

“How do you know, you’ve never tried”

“I just know blah blah they don’t care blah blah”

“Well, you’ve definitely proved that not calling produces no results”
