That suuucks. Do you wear a mask? It seems like you are especially likely to catch it whether because of your job, immune system or other factor.
I’m still one of the “crazy” people who wears a mask to work and I’ve only got it once in 2022, but I know it’s anecdotal.
Putin is reading this comment thinking, “How did everythingispenguins find my diary?”
Cool story.
Why is it so hard for people to judge credibility? It’s just (1) listen to a statement, (2) ask if what a person is saying directly benefits them and (3) if it does, require evidence to believe it.
We know this is not credible because by saying it, Putin diverts attention from his own corrupt election and normalizes election fraud. So did he provide evidence? No. So it should be ignored.
Can’t we all just… Do that?
Some spam probably does this, some probably does not. As mentioned, tracker pixels can also confirm, but either way if the message was delivered to your inbox with no bounceback, even without opening it the sender can infer it is active.
That said, a “legit” company domain like StubHub should be safe to click on (as long as you are careful it’s not a spoofed domain) and unsubscribe.
So embarrassing… Fixed.
“They are many words.”

That’s impossible, Putin told us the Nazis are in Ukraine!
If you stack people alternating head-first, feet-first, head-first, they will tesselate much better. Airlines eventually won’t be able to resist the profit margin.
Out of all the responses here, this is the only one that takes into account the actual psychological forces motivating the decision-makers.
The CEOs cannot justify their real estate expenses to their boards when employees are not filling those seats, and they likewise are contractually obligated to pay millions, hundreds of millions, or billions of dollars (depending on the company) for years to those lessors or lenders. There is a simpler motivation than “industrywide collusion and conspiracy to profit” - it is the motivation of these individual CEOs to appear competent and intentional despite that boulder they’ve placed around the company’s neck.
It isn’t a cross-company conspiracy. It’s each CEO’s personal but widely-shared motive to avoid embarrassment and their inability to adapt. Whether consciously or not, this is all those CEOs need to look at the “data” selectively and post-hoc rationalize RTO with platitudes like “increased collaboration and productivity” while ignoring the decreased morale, lost productivity from 2 hours of daily commute time, etc. It maintains the status quo that they assumed when committing to their property leases, and resolves any cognitive dissonance in the way most flattering to themselves (at the cost of their employee’s time, mental health, and personal freedom).
“Why are you upset? We gave you a choice.”
There really needs to be a worldwide epidemiological study on how Murdoch’s empire has shifted global politics to the right.
South Africa: “We agree to arrest you if you come.”
Putin: “Ok, I agree not to come.”
Every time you get it, you roll the dice on permanent long-COVID symptoms. That risk doesn’t go away.
