" oh that's a lot more reasonable and a good idea yeah

One of my primary email addresses is a super-generic address. It's like email@gmail.com levels of generic and people use it as a throw-away email on a daily basis when they sign up for poo poo. The haveibeenpwnd list for that address is pretty incredible.

I just have to wonder what these people who hand out other people's e-mail addresses are like irl, especially for important things, like how much of an idiot do you have to be to not realize that it isn't yours and that none of your important documents are showing up anywhere I'm assuming they're lead-addled boomers who are barely aware of what's going on around them on a day to day basis

Including porn site signups. i used to use my first university email address for everything because it was the first semi-permanent email address i had, back before gmail existed and hotmail/yahoo/etc. seemed a little too ephemeral i have regretted that once or twice in the last 15 years

I've always thought that things like the Yahoo dumps could be really fun for tying real and disposable email addresses together via details like account recovery/forwarding addresses because you know people crossed boundaries there for convenience. (I know I do.)
