Mmmmm, yeah, I'm going to need you to ~~come in on Sunday, too... we kinda lost some people and we need to do a little catch-up~~ also fine the bitches that handle the political bullshit, too, thaaaanks.

Like 4 years ago I started replying to these (political) unwanted messages with pretty hardcore yiff. The replies I get are great, and I don't think I've had the same campaign try twice since, but I'd rather just not see the shit at all. Add a 0 or three to that figure.

It's definitely meant that I will never, ever donate to a campaign again

Ditto for candidates that send me a bunch of flyers which go from my mailbox directly into the dumpster.

For me its the fireplace, still worse than random grocery advertisments.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I do the same! One goatse reply and they'll leave you alone usually

Do it long enough and you'll find the marketing dude who's into it and just spams you more.

This means kink war. And I'm going to win.

Time to send you some political spam messages, eh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Isnt't it illegal?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately no, I don't believe so. In the same vein that it's not illegal to send snail-mail ads and junk.
