I'm used to getting unwanted texts from Democratic politicians. But I have no idea how I got on a list that's sending me messages like this the past few days.

Speaking of #spam, when something signs me up in their mailing list, calling the option "I don't recall signing up for these emails" is such a bullshit move.
I do not just "not recall" signing up, I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT. How do I know? I don't just use an old e-mail alias an be like "Today I'll use this address to order myself some yammy spam!"
Fuck you, spammers.
In case you're wondering about the strong reaction, I've had two positions in my life where I've watched after corporate e-mail servers and spam was always the headache, one way or another. At times it was also a case of PEBCAK, which added the annoying user aspect to it.
Amazing just how literally everything is out to sell your e-mail address to spammers. When I was active in pinball tournament scene, I had an alias address for registering to tournaments. That address is now getting hit hard by all kinds of junk from arcade openings to arcade-related stuff being sold by dropshippers. All this from using the address in tournament sign-ups.
There's also been couple of cases, where a tournament director doesn't understand what CC and BCC do in e-mail and all the sudden I see all the 200 people's e-mails, some from people who probably didn't mean theirs to be in the public.
I can only imagine how bad it is for people who put their address in every possible Send me more spam! mailing list out there.
At least I can retire that alias, people using their actual, well known addresses won't be so lucky.
