Find at least one detail you enjoy... is like think of a compliment to give an ugly person you don't like. Why??? Do they need your approval? If someone is confident about their art they don't need a fake compliment. If they lack confidence an insincere compliment will not help them!! A thoughtful question would show much more interest and respect, like how did you get that idea? why did you choose that medium? that subject matter? what inspired you? how did you decide to do that? where did you learn to do that? how did you become an artist? how did you set aside time to work on that? Any question sounds more intelligent than a fake compliment. Bear in mind, I am not suggesting insulting questions like: what is that supposed to be? how much time did you waste on that? who would ever buy that?

>Also, the guy in question is openly courting with racists and fascists.

The only difference between then and now is that racists and totalitarians on the left and the right will now be allowed, instead of exclusively those on the left. You're allowed to have opinions, even horrible opinions, so long as you don't threaten people. Also, people wrongly accused of racism will likely no longer be punished (which was of course selectively enforced).

Why?

>creepily obsessed with my tattoos

Oh I did. I asked him if he wanted to see the one on my ass too. He probably tried to profile me as an inmate (guy worked at the prison too). I politely reminded him that I am also a doctor, and told him to fuck himself not so politely.

And also, just cuz I like saying it. Don't post an LPT if it's not something you personally plan on doing so much as a thing you want everyone else to do to make your life better. If you're a retail worker, think twice before posting "always be nice to retail workers because we're all always perfect". If you're a CSR, maybe consider the other person's perspective before you post "if you're having a wild emergency, ignore it and take the time to ask your CSR about their day before you get all 'me me me' and try to bring the conversation to the broken vacuum cleaner currently eating your children."

If your LPT is just that you personally assume you're always right and are telling other people to assume you're always right, just don't post it.

I have outlook (both personal and work), gmail (both personal and school), comcast, and email apps on my phone. On every single client, whether in-browser or mobile app, I have to click "load images" when I open an email or they won't load. It's been like this for years. Idk if the iPhone email app is different since I have a Galaxy but I imagine not. I admit I'm assuming this feature is disabled by default purely based on my anecdotal evidence though.
