Is there some kind of secret language that goes under the Unsubscribe button that says "we will reset all unsubscriptions and begin emailing you again in the fall". Companies I hadn't though about just spam me again after years of being silent.

Sortakinda yes.

A couple of the big-name ecommerce places will let you send messages to unsubscribed users in various ways (Salesforce lets you send transactional emails only? But you can gently caress with that if you know what you're doing). More likely, you're only unsubscribing from a single mailing list and they're just passing your information back and forth from a master contact list to other lists to get around the unsubscribe hold.

Other platforms probably do things similarly to SalesForce, I'm guessing. So grain of salt and etc. But that's how I've done it in the past.

on a similar note to SEARCH THING + reddit being ruined now, apparent even some of the websites that review products have lists that contain all that amazon alphanum dropshit stuff.

the feedback forum is camped by a handful of regulars who I honestly think should be banned from that forum so that maybe they could return to some form of having use or value. but hell, mods don't have to take feedback, just maybe don't look down on the users so much that you start to mess with things bc you enjoy harassing them :psyduck:

and please, I fail to see how swapping the threads does anything to curtail muskposting. instead the switch has made the muskposting happen in more places, even now in this very thread. gj, mods.

Oh yeah, I can remember back in college I had a roommate who used to eat these all the time:

...and I thought he was an idiot until I tried one and realized they were surprisingly good if you cooked them directly on the oven rack.

Forgot all about them until recently when I decided to try them for a bit of nostalgia. Tasted like eating warm wet toilet paper.

All frozen pizza sucks except the Meijer brand frozen thin crust pepperoni pizzas. They are very good. Get them, add a bit of Meijer brand shredded mozzarella, and you're good. If you really want, grab some of the Kroger brand pepperoni and add more pepperoni, but that's not really necessary.

They used to be $1 and those were good days, they just were always out of stock. Then they went to like a buck fifty, and they'd go on sale for $1, and you had to get there on the first day or they'd be out of stock. Now they're like three or four bucks, but they're still the best frozen pizza.

But yeah, don't eat frozen pizza, learn how to make homemade dough and make some cast iron pizza or something.

You used to be able to set your default steam window ie: your Friends list so that if you used the shortcut that's what would show up.

Now it always defaults to Activity even if you set your startup location differently.

Needed to find the nearest gas station today so I searched "gas station" on Google maps, expecting to be able to sort by distance. That option was gone. The top result was a Sponsored™ gas station that was significantly farther away than other options. The only filter available was "open now." I could only scroll through a random assortment of gas stations in the area. I had to manually type "closest gas station" to get it sorted by distance.
