You literally couldn’t escape the Black Album in the early 90’s, but I haven’t listened to it in 25 years, or anything they did after it. Still listen to MoP and AJFA occasionally though.

I'm not a metalhead but I always preferred the early eighties stuff, before it split into a billion different subgenres, most of them involving vikings who slay trolls or vice versa Metallica didn't do that but they've always just sounded really boring and by-the-numbers to me

Slippery posted:I've had yahoo since 99 and it's still alive and kickin' Same, I randomly locked that in early enough that I'm too embedded to ever really leave as long as they're around. For vaguely relevant content (e: wait this isn't the dumb marketing moves thread  ), a move they made that turned out to be dumb in a lot of ways was when they released "inactive" addresses across the board some years back. I was excited to snag my first initial, last name address and tie it into my regular account. Turns out there's a mind-boggling number of people who share those details (even with a less common last name) and are so blissfully unaware of basic technology that they sign all their other accounts up to that email address - all sorts of mailing lists, PTA accounts, sensitive banking info, I still get new ones showing up at least once a month after over half a decade. And you realize extremely quickly that most sites aren't really set up to handle that kind of service request if you're not sketchy enough to try to log in and delete your own account. I've basically given up trying to get anyone to deal with the problem unless it's obviously an actual person doing a mailing list, then I'll do a courtesy reply.

I feel like a few folks will just always get carried along by the tide and kept afloat/alive forever just cause they signed up early enough that the system doesn't bother to purge them...a metaphor for life

It's crazy how many people dont appear to know their own email. These days I mostly get some kid's signups for various online games, window cleaning invoices, & another kid's group projects for high school, but there was a period where I'd get a lot of mail intended for a fairly famous music producer. Mostly it was just various youtube/myspace artists who'd want me to take a look & I would make really bad remixes of their songs, but one time Lindsay Lohan's personal assistant emailed me: JANE DOE posted:Hi! Carthag Tuek posted:Hi JANE! JANE DOE posted:We need a full list of the songs Lindsay has done with you. Carthag Tuek posted:Here you go: JANE DOE posted:Are you sure these are the tracks, 'cause I don't recall any of the titles? Only one I remember is"REAL SONG". Carthag Tuek posted:Well some of them were sketches really. I can elaborate when I'm back at the studio. JANE DOE posted:Yes, I am 100% authentic. Carthag Tuek posted:Hi JANE!

They still have a metallica hour here where they play nothing but metallica on our local rock station. I can't really think of a bigger or more well known band in their genre whether you like them or not. I don't like them but I don't really like that kinda music either.

This is pure gold btw A friend of mine who has a pretty common first and last name got firstname.lastname@gmail.com. He doesn't use it because it is unusable with the number of people that have decided that his email address is also their email address. Although one time in around 2011, before everyone jumped on the train, he got an email asking if he was Firstname Lastname with Talent Agency. He said no straight away. The person emailing him then said "oh gotcha, well can you please forward me the login details so Firstname Lastname with Talent Agency can use this address?". He said "no, why would I do that?". The reply was basically "umm, why wouldn't you?". Not sure what's worse, the idiots or the entitlement.

On the other hand I've had trouble signing up for accounts on websites on multiple occasions because there are apparently multiple people named Rod Beard out there.

My wife's gmail is her (uncommon in the US but common in Scandinavia) first name @gmail.com and she constantly gets little old Scandinavian ladies and kids with her name signing up for stuff with her email address. She also gets all sorts of family pictures and medical records and a ton of other things. We call the messages 'spam not spam' and she mostly deletes them unless it's like a medical record, then she'll reply and say they have the wrong email. that's my story thanks for reading

The main time I've really felt bad about it was when an obviously younger person accidentally used my address to order a couple concert tickets. They emailed me later after realizing it but I must've just deleted them as spam. I said they could try to resend them or have the vendor email me about it, but I never heard back, hopefully they managed to get them in time somehow.

This also happened to my wife, but it was some Swedish lady's boyfriend who put her email address in wrong (she was firstname6 or something) and then he emailed and asked for the tickets, and they had a brief exchange. It was funny.

My version is someone who is unable to use their own email address to apply for college sports. When recruiting season starts up I get a whole bunch of poo poo about it. It's very safe to say that you have never and will never hear of this persons sports career.

I have firstname@gmail and I constantly get medical info, appointment reminders, tickets to sporting events, Steam keys, receipts for donations, family photos, stuff about warranty repairs, etc. I stopped trying to forward things along to the correct people because they always just get mad at me like it's my fault. Whenever I sign up for an online service there's nearly always someone else already signed up using my address, so I have to do a password reset instead and basically hijack the account. On the plus side, someone with a name not even similar to mine but still trying to use my e-mail address has been paying for Hulu for several years. I guess they just... signed up and then forgot they'd done it? Dip Viscous has a new favorite as of 00:59 on Nov 25, 2020 |
