I'm just so grateful that so many great scientists fled nazi germany. Also that those who stayed behind (this is controversial and not known for sure) hindered and delayed Germany's nuclear weapons program.
Filtering spam is a long solved problem and completely trivial. I receive no spam on my self hosted email, and I spend no time at all working on that.
My old unused gmail account however.... I recently logged in after more than a year. The spam folder had about 40 emails in it, and the inbox had more than 8000, all of which were spam. Google over self hosting is not a solution to spam.
There are good people in your life. Share good things with them and try to be as good to them as you can. Social media only amplifies the negative. Things are bad right now, but not all bad. Don't despair.
I know it's cheesy, but I really believe it: love is the answer.
All someone has to do to avoid being called a boomer is
Everyone born between 1945 and 1960 (in the US) is literally unable to do anything to avoid being known as and called a boomer. The word was around for decades before some stupid mean people tried to redefine it based on their ageism, or in other words their ridiculous belief that old people are evil.
When it is used to denigrate a "mindset" that you don't like, it is most certainly a slur. When used to refer to folks who were born between 1945 and 1960, it is not.
We've all agreed (almost all) to stop using the word retarded to refer derogatorily to folks who do not have that medical condition.
I'm with you right up to the ageism. The folks who persecuted Aaron were older than him, but they were not boomers, and what they did had nothing to do with his age or theirs.
oh praise geebus! finally a "dad joke" that's not a painfully sophomoric pun
