Hell, I still use the original camel-cased convention that was used extensively in Web 1.0: eMail. Because that just makes a lot more sense to me. And it’s where a fair number of early names, like eBay, also came from.

🤣🤣🤣 F**k, that brought back memories…
Technically, all eMail sent out from domains that you do not personally own are “anonymous”, or can be set up to not give out anything regarding your actual identity.
Hell, my parents were scammed out of being paid (it was redirected) by someone using a webmail address that looked like it came from my mother. She doesn’t even use eMail…
If it happened then, it can happen here and now. America is on a knife’s edge, and even up here in Canada our conservative leader “PeePee” is probably closely watching Trump and furiously taking how-to notes.
You just step in from Bizarro universe?
I mean, good for the guys. Serious applause. But your grandma and mom - WTF??
From where I sit on Canada’s western end, I honestly expect America to never have a legitimate/meaningful election again.
As in, over the next 4 years the GOP will erode the election system such that it becomes equally as meaningful as elections in Russia or North Korea - theatre and a thin veneer of legitimacy, but nothing more. That the GOP will work things such that they will never “lose” another election, making America a permanent one-party state, no matter how many people would want them out of power.
The scary thing is, Canada risks much the same if “PeePee” (Pierre Poilievre, of the Canadian Conservative Party) gets elected. The man is a snake-oil salesman who is always eager to tell you what the problem is and who is to blame, but who almost never had any solution for the problem. Even his “axe the tax” shtick is a “solution” in desperate need of a problem to solve, will hurt working-class Canadians far more than it will help them, and is only meant to reduce taxation on the wealthy.

Capitalism, privatization, passing the buck and the race to the bottom. It’s all related.
You don’t get this when schooling - and the associated transportation - is a social service that has been properly set up. There is no profit motive there, no race to the bottom that enshittifies everything involved.
In a well-funded public school system, drivers would be employed by the school system, have appropriate training and meet high standards, and be paid decently well. They would have the time and the incentive to get to know the students and get things right.
Never been on any Facebook or Instagram video reel, have you? You can’t go 10 reels in before hitting something like this, even if it’s not exactly like this.
If it wasn’t for Marketplace, I would be off Facebook entirely.
But I am not on threads at all, and only get punted over to Instagram with reels that appear on my Facebook account.
Okay, this… is hilarious.
Anyone who is against the carbon tax is either a multi-millionaire (as in, 10M+ in liquid assets) with more money than morals, or a deeply ignorant person.
The only people that the carbon tax truly hurts are the wealthy. And for virtually anyone reading this, that ain’t you.
