I use addy.io to create aliases for different things, and then set up filters in Thunderbird to mark them as they come in so, for example, if I make an account at xyz.com and then I get a bunch of unrelated spam marked as coming from xyz.com, then I know they've been selling my info.
I probably have about a dozen or so aliases currently, but they're pretty loosely organized.
I've been saying for a while, George W. Bush is the one who took the door off its hinges and sold it, Trump is just the inevitable crackhead who walked in and started living in the kitchen.
Also as a non-American, I don't get how this is even a close election? To me it seems like the options are Competent Politician Who You May Not Agree With On Everything vs. Actual Cabal Of Demented Fascists, and it seems like it could genuinely go either way.
I kind of did this once! Essentially I got laid of from a job but happened to have a good money buffer and life was quite inexpensive at the time, so I just thought "fuck it" and went as long as I could without working, I made it about a year.
It was awesome! My mental health has never been better, I wrote most of a book, got pretty decent at Blender, started working on learning to make games... and then I had to go back to work and it all went to shit lol, that was several years ago and I haven't touched any of it since.
I have two, KDE on my laptop that runs Arch (btw) which is my tinkering machine, and GNOME/Pop!_OS on the desktop, which is the one other people use and I'm not allowed to break lol.
Although I might switch the desktop to COSMIC at some point if it doesn't cause too much trouble.
Actually it was a two-parter, S09E5&6 (of the reboot), called The Girl Who Died and The Woman Who Lived.
Here's a clip of the relevant bit!
There's a Doctor Who episode with that idea in it too, the Doctor saves a girl in Viking times but brings her back forever, and when he meets her in mediaeval times she has a whole library of books that are just her memories that she's written down over the years.
It seems like a lot of people complain about Doctor Who not really having any canon or rules, and contradicting itself constantly (sometimes within the same episode) but I don't think that's necessarily a failing because it's not trying to do that at all.
The trend these days is for a lot of shows, especially sci-fi ones, to be sort of 'internet-proof' and be designed to withstand the people who go through frame-by-frame looking for little errors and contradictions to pull apart, and Doctor Who ignores that completely and just aims to be big fun campy dramatic nonsense, which I think it mostly succeeds at. I think the only cardinal sin for that show is don't be boring, which IMO it pulls off more often than not.
And it's fine to not like that of course, but I don't get it when people try to call the show out for not doing something it's never really tried to do, at least since it came back in 2005.
Yeah I think seasons 4-12 are the kind of 'safe' era, but you can go a few seasons either way and still get some bangers, it's just a little more patchy.
I thought the general broad strokes of what happened were fine (IE with
), I just thought it was rushed and done in a kind of sloppy way. I really didn't like

Daenerys being the big villain and stuff
spoiler
Bran becoming the king though
'cause I fucking hate that character lol.
Yeah I'm similar, I'm in for about $45 or so from the Kickstarter. I wrote it off and stopped paying attention about 6-7 years ago (it was already pretty far behind then!) but I figure, I've wasted more money on dumber stuff before, and if an actual game ever does happen to materialise then I'll give it a look.
I probably will end up with tons eventually, I haven't been doing it for too long and I don't sign up for many things lol
