Did you change your settings to 'All Mail', instead of 'Inbox'?

No it’s just junk mail filter randomly stopped working for some reason. I’m getting 4-5 a day now. It’s relentless.

I'd love to think its just QAnon/far right idiots that mock the trans community. But shockingly it's a disgusting percentage of the 25-50 age crowd that makes transphobic jokes/comments almost anytime trans issues come up.

They attempt suicide at a 7.6 times higher rate than non trans teens and yet we as adults not only don't attempt to help them, but act like ****ing kids and make things way worse with our dinosaur views and absurd, mean spirited, uneducated joke and vocal opinions.

I honestly like to think that I'm someone that attempts to see the best and good in people despite flaws, as we're all flawed. But as soon as I hear some stupid joke or comment about the trans community I just lose all respect for that adult immediately. Like my opinion of them is right in the gutter.

"HAHAHAHA, maybe I'll identify as a truck!!!!". Maybe you should identify as a ****ing idiot.

Can we add “my pronouns are…” ‘jokes’.

And anyone who calls them “the letter people”.

Someone once used the term “the alphabet gang” in front of me and my eyes just about rolled through the back of my skull.

Especially when people have name tags.

Use their ####ing name.

Also nobody my age does it. All grandparent aged. Including people she’s never met… how can you have so little self awareness? You weren’t intimidated/hate it when older people would touch you or guilt you into a hug or something when you were a child? It’s literally a trope in movies that older people pinch/kiss grandkids (unrelated “aunts” included) without consent. The entitlement is incredible. I’m going to start getting very direct about this in the moment.
OK first of all, What the hell dude?

Maybe the Alphabet Gang is just the nickname of Larry Page and Sergei Bryn's entourage.

I can confirm that the age distinction is absolutely true. 0% of my contemporaries/younger have offended...not many older people have either, but some definitely have. It's brutal.

The ####ing Athletic, which I pay for, will not let me read any articles. I log in, it takes me to the front page. I click on an article, it logs me back out and asks me to subscribe. I just paid for year of this ####ing website last month - God knows why when every team I follow is depressing - and it's so aggressive about trying to get people to subscribe it won't let its paying members read any of the content.

Doesn't help - same problem whether on desktop or phone (I am almost always using my phone).

ya i forgot to cancel before they charged me for the year as well

really nothing should auto charge for a full year fee after the trial period . should be a month's fee to ease new readers in then you can opt for a year (most design apps do this) . nice little trap that relies on people's forgetfulness but won't gain them longer term subscribers

if I try to read an article this season this season and it doesn't let me while being subscribed .. yikes

If there is any kind of subscription that may auto-renew and I don’t necessarily want to, then I make sure to remove my credit card info from my account.

The Athletic are bastards. If you do that, you lose your subscription right then and there.

I just paid for a full year, and if I remove my cc, they'll take my sub away right now.

I'm still paying because I got a stupid deal of $1 a month, but I'm only really there for the Flames and the coverage just isn't doing it for me.

Really? Well that sucks. Usually you can keep on until the end of the term. Is there another way to cancel it?
