  • This sounds like a very weird policy to me. The mails to my account are 99.9…% mails from other services. Registrations, newsletters, order confirmations, password resets etc. If you filter out such mails, the account would be pretty meaningless to me. And if it unlocks automatically, also scammers can wait a couple of days between account creation and using it.








  • Is there any study or high-level calculation regarding the overall impact of vaccines on a country’s economy? I mean, I’m 100% sure that this is a terrible decision that will bring a lot of pain and suffering to the US. I’m just thinking if there is at least a tiny bit of reasoning behind that decision. Like is there any perspective where this makes at least a tiny bit of sense from their point of view?

    The only thing I can think of would be… ‘If people die early, it saves money for their retirement.’

    I would expect the costs for medical treatments, sick days, long term effects to outweight that by far…

    Or do they hope that private companies start advertising vaccines once the government stops the funding?






  • Personally, I’m not offended when referred to as ‘-sexual’. In general, I don’t see my gender as an important part of my identity. I guess I’m ‘just’ cis male but I don’t see that as restrictive in any way.

    But thanks for your explanation! Good to know that there’s a negative connotation tied to that term and other people might be offended. I’ll try to keep it in in mind for future discussions. :)
