Or gets caught with kiddie pr0n?
presumably I know where they live, burn their house to the ground (or turn over to FBI as if I was an ISP, which strictly I am at this point)
Or keeps forwarding infected chain emails?
help fix/suspend email
Or their computer gets hacked?
help fix/suspend email
Or the person running it dies, or is in the hospital for an extended period just as the domain comes up for renewal, and someone else grabs it after it goes back up for grabs?
This is what I do too, with the added bonus that I actually have a catch-all for a subdomain that goes to a single email address, thus if someone random wants my email address I give them:
their.company.name@handler.example.com
It is easy then based on the send to email address to determine who's sharing/selling email lists and blackhole them.
(1) yes, it could be a full time job, and yes children shouldn't suffer for parent's mistakes. I found it interesting that her kids were all just about 5 years apart though... (bypassing the dark bit).
(2) and this is why I have no clue how to fix the system that I clearly can see is broken.
*mind, I despise the current system, not the (majority) of the people caught in it.
On a more topical note: While I rather hate the iPhone and iOS walled garden way of doing things I do have to acknowledge that Jobs and Ive really did revolutionize the entire computing market.
iPhone didn't just change the handheld computing landscape, or just the cellular phone landscape, it also changed the datacenter landscape. I would go so far as to argue Facebook would not be what it is today (if it even existed) if the changes sparked by the iPhone didn't happen.
When I was starting my family out my neighbor was section8 + all the other social support. She was the stereotype to a T. Three kids by three different men, all spaced 5 years apart (First 5 California), had cable, had a car, had a cell phone.
She needed help with her paperwork one day and asked me to help, so I saw all the numbers. I did a P&L for her and compared it with a P&L for me and you know what? I was working my ass off for $13/hr (1999) and she was bringing home about $100 per month more than me sitting at home doing nothing. Hugely frustrating to me, but of course if she actually got a job it would be min wage and she'd lose at least twice as much in benefits as she'd have earned. The system is desperately broken, but I haven't the foggiest how to fix it.
Now, where I live public transit is shit. Jobs are spaced out. A car is kinda needed. A low end cell phone on a cheap plan is cheaper than a land line now. I get it, but the system still keeps people dependant.
I'm not entirely thrilled with the ruling and I haven't the foggiest idea how anyone can fix it, but it was inevitable that some country would hit them with this.
Google should appeal to WIPO. It's a bit out of the norm, but it is likely the best venue, if WIPO rules that the trademark is global then a global authority has now made the order and Google complies, if WIPO says "that's a Canada issue" google blocks it for.ca and moves on.
I use it for extended family contact that would be challenging otherwise. I also derive hours of entertainment from the Anti-vaxers and Anti-evolution crowd and my ability to bait them into a tizzy by simply questioning their reasoning then "ignore" them and go along my merry way.
or, blather away all the time on FB about trite and mundane aspects of life, whist keeping truly tight lipped about what one does want actually private, all the way to including use of a separate phone and phone number for said private activity.
I believe that analytics is so good now (and remember if you're in pics others post on FB then you have a FB profile already, it's just not named and is a guid) that social "holes" stand out more than the other methods of enforcing privacy. Because of this I use the approach above, though I'll wager neither is all that great at real bulletproof privacy.
Quitting tobacco is for life. The urges will eventually fade with the years, but do not be fooled by the, "Oh, just one puff" after 10 years off. The hooks will sink right back into your flesh, and you'll be smoking again.
Hell yeah that's true. I got nailed by that the time before I finally did quit. I had been tobacco free for about 2 years, then one drag and I was back for another three years before finally quitting for good. I had that "one time I'll be fine" delusion that I clearly was wrong about, so now it nothing ever again. Even if I'm around smokers for an extended period for days afterwards I can feel the tingle of desire.
would your friend stop if they were illegal tomorrow? I bet not.
I tried quitting no less than 5 times, across several years before I was finally successful about 5 years ago. Absolute *bitch* to kick. Addiction is defined as: Continued use in the face of adverse consequences. If your friend is so much an addict as to wish they were illegal then the act of making them illegal likely won't be what gets him to finally quit. I do hope he manages to win one of these days though... it's a hell of a struggle to do.
However, we did learn that it was very important that we never talk to the therapist without her. One really good therapist she had made the mistake of having some sessions with us, but that allowed our daughter to decide that the therapist was colluding with us against her, which destroyed her relationship with the therapist and made that completely unworkable.
You nailed it. MFT met with me (and my ex) alone at separate times to let us voice our feels w/o the other person there. From my visit onwards the MFT was a quack and worthless. Co-parenting counselor: exact same pattern.
Even after my ex refused to continue the (court ordered) co parent counseling I went. The counselor helped me with some co-parenting strategies to use in high conflict situations like mine and reassured me that as long as I remain a solid and stable parent for my children that they (statistically) will be okay. Currently it's split 50/50 custody both physical and legal. There is no way for me to get more without my kids' voiced opinion they want to live with me. I face the same issue with the courts you faced with the counselor believing your daughter. I know, you know, but the courts will only see the show she puts on. I am *very* closely working with my child that is expressing such behaviors in a CBT style (I am no pro, but I can apply the principles) to analyze the actual outcome of what happened and the realistic roles all parties involved played. I really am on the fence if it's learned response or BPD from this child... and it scares the fuck outta me.
As to your predicament I get not wanting to be a dad over again, and wanting to just be grandpa; I hope that your grandchild has a great childhood and grows up healthy, no matter how that unfolds.
BTW, as far as I'm concerned, any language that is whitespace dependent isn't really a candidate for a usable language. We'll throw that out there as well.
Second best is to set up a forward (many domain registrars offer this service) to Gmail... and make sure that the forwarding system supports SSMTP, to keep your email encrypted in transit. Having your own domain means that when you decide you need to move again, you can without having to go through the pain of giving everyone a new email address.
Full disclosure: I work for Google. I think I'm able to offer a pretty unbiased analysis, though, and I try to do exactly that.
Exactly what I do. I manage my email address blacklist on my end. All emails to a particular domain go to me, unless they're blacklisted so I can give out BigBoxStore@domain.com to BigBoxStore and if I start getting spam to that address I then redir it to:blackhole: and never see mail from them again. Next time they need an email I give them BigBoxStor.spams.too.much@domain.com
While the likelihood is you're correct about GP, there is also the possibility that they are very much not a sociopath but have dealt with suicide or other compulsive disorder enough to be flatly burnt out about dealing with it.
just some food for thought. I have family and friends that have varying levels and durations of sobriety. I have an ex sister in law who habitually makes it about 6 months then falls off then gets depressed then... on and on till she's inpatient, then sober aaaand the cycle repeats. I can totally understand someone who's had to live directly with that giving up caring as a self protection.
Complete OT about BPD. You're a saint for dealing with it (I know as a parent you have much less choice). I left my wife because her BPD related behavior got to the point where it was intolerable (case in point: It was *my* fault I was upset at her for cheating on me because if I hadn't checked her email I wouldn't have known.) Nevermind there were mountains of other red flags and the email was simply the proof to remove doubt; the reading of which was blessed by the marriage counselor to boot.
I still have to deal with her because we have kids together and one of my children is already starting to show some of the signs... blame aversion, reassignment of historical facts to fit a present narrative. How did you handle it? How did you guide your child towards the help they needed or did you have to go with the "I'm your parent and I said so" route? because with BPDs forceful coercion doesn't really do squat (at least with adults). Does your kid try to gaslight you when reality collides with narrative? (mine does).
Or one can just adopt the anything_that_can_survive_occasionally_being_mowed_is_welcome_to_grow_here approach. It's not like lawns are useful for much of anything.
Hence why mine was covered in bark. Of course the prior half decade of severe drought allowed the bark to be broken down and replacement maintenance not done so now that it's rained *BOOM* I now am the weed factory for the hood.
More bark on order, but apparently I'm not alone in this as they're backordered at the moment.

SF and surrounding bay McD's pays something like $12-15/hr because no one (not even the kids) will work for less due to the insane cost of living.
