Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, what she said.
How does that make sense?!
It's helpful, though. Also, and I hope I'm getting it straight, '+stuff' doesn't count either. So ita+amazon@gmail.com can be my Amazon email address (if Amazon accepts email addresses of that format, and if I shopped at Amazon...) but all the mail goes to ita@gmail.com, and I can tell where it's from (and who shared it to whom) by virtue of what it is. So if you give out am.y personally and a.my professionally, you can tell when someone's blurring the lines. Or, more complex, any facebook password resets that don't come to amy+facebook@gmail.com? Automatically spam attempts, plz ignore.
I'm suddenly nostalgic for my AOL address.
Or the days in which you could give those out to adults without people looking at you funny.
Oh, hush.
You don't even have one anymore and I'm still looking at you funny. So much for that!
When was that?
