Today I'm learning about that time that NATO killed a bunch of civilians and thought it was okay.

@ambihelical @levisan same here! some guy in central europe who is into gaming and online gambling often uses my main gmail as his address. it's even set as the fallback for if he cant get into his google account!
@levisan Yeah I think it helps. There's some guy in Portugal (I think) that has been using my email by accident for like 20 years now. I'm guessing it's pretty close to his, and I've gotten some pretty important looking correspondence because of it, as well as a steady stream of verification emails. I tried to get a clue to him via the 3rd parties that emailed me, but it didn't help, and now I just ignore it. I guess he wonders why computers don't work very well for him, but at least I don't get email from those companies after the first one.
Fun linguistic fact: the Dutch word for "lawyer" is "advocaat" and that word shares the same etymological root as the English "advocate". Is that not perfect or what?
Bonus related fact: there's also a (delicious) brandy-based drink sold in π³π± called advocaat and one of the theories behind the name is that it was originally called advocatenborrel, or "lawyers' drink"
Finally I have found a solution
