If their spam filter is “learning,” and if new signup verification emails are a consistent decades-old practice, how much longer should we wait before it’s okay to question whether Google’s filter could do better at learning?

That’s wonderful for you, but it does happen.

Same problem. No other ways to verify, just my FULLY CORRECT PASSWORD, so Google has decided I’ll never get to access my old account again.

I posted about it on the Google forum and was told by a self important community person that it is my fault for not logging back into that account to set up backups.

Happy to switch off Gmail now, but it won’t get my old emails with bygone friends and family back.

My fault for expecting my password to get me into my account. Fuck Google man.

It’s not

It’s so MADDENING

This is less a design choice and more the reality of package-based architecture, but - menus that I have to wait before interacting.

I spent most of my life being able to enter clicks and hotkeys as fast as I want, because they would queue up and the app would resolve them in order. Now I can’t type too fast after pressing the Windows Start button, because the start menu needs time to load before it can handle KEYPRESSES. Tapping Windows key followed by “Discord” will search for “iscord” or something if I type full speed.

It feels like every modern app is optimized for a slow person browsing one-handed on a phone.

Did you miss where where the point of their comment was to deemphasize Whole Foods’ fault and culpability in this? Or are you starting a linguistics discussion?

Edit: in other words, they say “You should expect businesses to act this way” and I say otherwise

“Amazon is going to take advantage of whatever it thinks will make them more money.”

Yea I will in fact get mad at that kind of behavior. Lots of businesses doing it (and commenters like you normalizing it) doesn’t make them less responsible for their shitty behavior.

For any young aspiring alcoholics watching, that dude is what day drinking looks like after college. Don’t let that be you
