I’m not a landlord simp, I’m just not an asshole. I also live in my apartment and have actual responsibilities.
Does your mom know you shove things down the drain or is she considered your landlord so you do it anyway?

There’s no free email if you want privacy. I’d highly recommend Fastmail though. It’s a lean and obviously fast email service that’s really cheap. You can also use your own domains included and have all those emails/domains go to the same inbox and choose which one to respond to. In my case, I have name.tld, fullname.tld, and a few project sites. All those domains have their “own” email addresses but ultimately they all are in my inbox and I can respond from all my services from there. They also offer masked email addresses like randomword-word@fastmail.com that acts as if it was your email address. If your email is ever stolen or beached, you’ll know where it came from! Also prevents tracking and building profiles on you. They offer like 5+ year plans for super cheap.

Reply to comment by BreakfastBeerz in LPT: When you get a new lock, buy a new house, or something like that always save one of the keys for future copies. This can be the safety key you leave with someone, but the point is never to use it, so when you do wear down your key, you make a replacement with the pristine one. by pSilver68932
No, use the spare key to make more spare keys instead of an used one.

Reply to comment by r0jster in LPT: You don't need a car loan. Seriously. by dvlpr404
I guess it depends. I put the term maintenance into the category of routine needs of the vehicle (oil changes, air filters, etc.) If a part goes out here or there, sure, I’d fix it. Once it starts leaving me stranded, or I don’t hold much trust into its reliability, then I’d look at other options. If maintained correctly, I’m far from that position.

That's cheating!
But I'd be on board with walkie talkies, cuz walkie talkies are cool.

The sender wouldn't know who you are if they sent the same asset URL to everybody. They make each one unique so that they can tie it to a single recipient. Which means that Google can't cache it for you since it wouldn't know what part of the URL is there to track you and what part of it is identifying the asset on the server.
What Gmail does for me is that it won't show any images unless I click "Show images" at the top of the email.

Use your phone camera to observe behind you. Obviously the camera just high enough to see over your shoulder keeping the bulk of your screen obscured. Record if you need to.

That one couple that does the god awful things with food that is basically just telling us for 30 min what is going to happen when they finally do the stupid thing.... Yeah really wish people wouldn't share that garbage at all.

Reply to LPT: Spilling your emotions to someone who goes cold won’t win them over, it will push them away even more by MO_drps_knwldg
Have been on the receiving end of this once. A girl I knew for a long time decided to tell me that she really wished to be in a relationship with me even though I was already in one and happy. I didn't feel the same and she kept going with the long texts. I really didn't have any chance to think over things and decided it was better to just take a pause from this person.
It ruined any decent chance of us staying as the good friends we were (known each other for 10+ years). Still talk with her occasionally but it's just not the same anymore and I don't feel comfortable being personal with her now and probably never will.
