i sometimes throw cables away

i mean straight into the bin without spending 10+ years in the box of might-come-in-handy-someday first

im a fucking monster

i use a yahoo email account i signed up for in 1996 when it was still called rocketmail. but i also have a gmail account in my actual name, and 99% of the emails are for idiot boomers who think they somehow automatically get theirname@gmail.com and get really loving mad when i reply to them with joke answers.

it definitely fixes the "some jackass put in the wrong gmail address for their mortgage application/tax filing/divorce settlement/etc" problem

I've had my personal domain for probably 20 years and mostly used it for email but around 12 or so years ago it got to the point where literally thousands upon thousands of spam emails were spoofed using my email address. Whenever I talked to GoDaddy support to ask what could be done about it they basically told me "Dunno, nothing really, good luck" and haven't used it since. :smith:

my name isn't globally unique, the one other person who shares my first name is some kind of distant cousin. he doesn't have much of an internet presence so literally almost everything in google for our name is about me personally.

pseudorandom name is a reference to me figuring out the hard way that every stupid thing I posted on usenet is forever linked to me

i'm the complete opposite, there's one guy in the US who shares my name and he's some sort of financial dude so he's all over the place where i'm basically nowhere. i do get a lot of his emails tho, I've cancelled reservations he's had out of spite

i have the same first and last name as a somewhat famous person so every possible variation is usually always taken when it comes to making an account somewhere. the plus side is i am fairly ungoogleable

There was only one other Eleanor with my last name but she died, which is how I first became that I have an old lady name

I used to share a name with a private detective in Beverly Hills who did not like paying his bills. I got a lot of phone calls for him, including one that his sister had died

same except firstname.lastname. i got his attempt at signing up for hornymilfs.com a few years ago as well as all his paperwork for starting a new job. i had the dudes bank account info, past addresses, mothers maiden name, you name it. that was a real ‘devil / angel standing on your shoulders’ moment. i couldn’t care less about the money i just wanted to send a VERY loud signal to this idiot to stop sending me his bullshit

lol

i haven’t logged into that gmail in a super long time so i wonder what awaits me there. besides subscribing to strip club emails, which who knew that was a thing you could do, he maintained profiles on matchmaking sites of the “sugar daddy” variety. again a thing i did not know existed but makes sense in retrospect i guess
