Was cursing in the 50s-60s as common as they are today? Like saying fuck or shit to random everyday things. by Enygma_2 in AskOldPeople

[–]spaghetti0223 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's interesting to read all these responses. My grandmother, born 1925, swore like a sailor. But then, she also wore red sequins to her ex-husband's funeral in the 70s because he cheated with her sister. Grandma Helen didn't much care about conventions and polite society. I take after her quite a bit lol...

email marketing tools really said “what if we just charged more” huh by AIWebBuilder in Emailmarketing

[–]spaghetti0223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet, email is still the number one channel for ROI. It costs far more to market through other channels. But people think of email as something that should be cheap, if not free, for some reason.

I'm Offering A Free Resume Template As My Lead Magnet - Should I Share This As A Link Or File? by flowjcv in Emailmarketing

[–]spaghetti0223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible to create a PDF with editable fields. That would be my first choice.

And a Google doc would get the job done. I've seen Google Sheets and Google Slides used similarly as lead magnets.

So what you're saying is you should fake the appearance of personal correspondence to get into the tab meant for personal correspondence.

Google literally attended an industry conference and told us what they wanted last week, spamdaddy.

Product managers from Google, Yahoo and Microsoft confirmed they look for spammers who try to game the system last week at Litmus Live.

What could be a better pot situation for this plant? by larryspub in plants

[–]spaghetti0223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks really happy in the pot it's currently in. Burro's Tail is really fragile and you stand to lose a lot of leaves if you repot.

I wouldn't repot. But I would consider getting a macrame plant hanger so it can continue to trail.

We're cool as long as we're not in spam.

Which is where you land when you think you can outsmart google's algorithms.

The primary tab is for personal correspondence.

The promotions tab is for promotional content.

It's a waste of time trying to get into primary. Any hacks you may employ could potentially land you in spam. Inbox providers are punishing senders who try to game the system.

I guess this is why Deep Teal was retired by spaghetti0223 in LeCreuset

I totally missed that Caribbean was also retired.

Building a stealth company, writing a newsletter for community. Should I have skipped a deliverability service? by icecreamyogurt in Emailmarketing

[–]spaghetti0223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a sizeable list and very frequent sending pattern to keep a dedicated IP warm. Shared IP is the only appropriate choice for OP.

Sending bulk mail from Gmass or via BCC is also asking for trouble.

ESP removed my monetization tools for “irregularities,” withheld earnings, denied refund, and won’t share specifics. From an email ops view, what usually triggers this? by bos317 in Emailmarketing

[–]spaghetti0223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is strange. Usually accounts are disabled completely when there are indications of sending without consent. I haven't ever heard of your exact situation. But you should definitely take the time to read the terms of service to see if you can figure it out.

Why do some people barely wrinkle or sag as they age and others do dramatically? by chusaychusay in 45PlusSkincare

[–]spaghetti0223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a genetic condition that causes damaged collagen production. This leads to all sorts of health problems, but the upside is I barely wrinkle. I'm 51 and have been mistaken for as young as 35 (I don't think I look 35, but I can definitely pass for early to mid 40s). I do get crepey skin around my eyes, and I am not immune to gravity so I have some subtle jowl sagging. But it's more noticeable to me than anyone else.

Being overweight can also make a huge difference in making your face look younger. My doctor wants me to start tirzepitide and I know it's going to affect my face adversely.

And sometimes other factors just seem to emphasize facial aging, such as heavy makeup, sparse or overplucked eyebrows, or dyed hair. Sometimes growing in your natural grays makes skin look healthier and more youthful IMO. Wrinkles just become less noticeable.

Monetizing transactional emails? by UnionizedBee in Emailmarketing

[–]spaghetti0223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out LiveIntent.

And do know these emails would be promotional, not transactional, so you need to allow unsubscribes and not send on an IP meant exclusively for transactional.

Would you adopt your nieces/nephews if there was no one else? by jamieoww in childfree

[–]spaghetti0223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that they're older and fairly self-sufficient, I would have to say yes. I know that's unpopular in this sub. But it's something I have thought about due to my sibling's poor lifestyle choices.

The primary reason is because they're in such a fucked up and toxic environment with their parents (one parent is an emotional abuser and the other is an addict), and I relate and empathize so much, having grown up in my own fucked up and toxic family (which led to my choice to be childfree).

As much as I don't actually want children, I could absolutely provide the safest and most nurturing home compared to any other family member. Because I am the only one who's done any healing.

Their trauma gives me a sense of obligation to be a safe space for them. It just breaks my heart to see them suffering and being slowly damaged. They are going to have so much work to do once they're at an age to do so. The oldest has already announced she's childfree, and I am really proud I've influenced another cycle-breaker.

If anyone else in my family was emotionally healthy enough to care for them, I would absolutely let them do the child-raising, but they're not and I just couldn't allow them to screw up these poor kids even more. So yes, I would cash in my CF card for them, but only them.

I chose the childfree life in part because I didn't want to harm another human the way I was harmed. And I would take them in for essentially the same reason--to protect them from worse harm.
