RFC 822, the basis for email as we know it, is 40 years old.
Now imagine a world where Microsoft would adhere to it and it's successors.

Sadowitz is probably one of the most offensive comedians around. He's the enemy of bland.

When you see it, you will shit croissants.
There's no such thing as a new idea:

No, Shopify, I won’t install your phone app to track my delivery unless it magically gets it to me more quickly. GFY
Probably for the best that this is paywalled:
"Monkeys in Bali use stones as sex toys to fill their leisure time"
Fark. Lexico.com is shutting down and redirecting to dictionary.com soon. That is not good news.
"Why thinking hard for several hours can leave you mentally exhausted"
Sound familiar?
"Sebastian Faulks: ‘George Orwell showed me that authorities are usually wrong’"

" #Amazon requires information from you when setting up a registry.
A wedding registry requires 1st and last names of both partners, the wedding date, the number of guests attending, and a mailing address. The default share setting is to make the registry searchable not only on Amzn but also via the third-party wedding planning website The Knot.
...when creating a baby registry, it asks for a first and last name, expected due date, whether the baby is the parents’ first child, and a mailing address...default visibility setting is also set to public and to appear on pregnancy and parenting sites The Bump, What to Expect, & Baby Center.
...
you could (even without an Amzn account) with just a name or further specifying a date and location.
...wedding registries show the names of both partners, the event location, and the event date. Baby registries return either the name of upcoming baby or the names of parents, their city and state, expected due date
...
the fields can be modified using developer tools functionalites available in browsers (Chrome, Firefox, aso) A cursory search with modifi date fields brought up wedding registries dating as far 2004..."

Scary shit for the people using it.
