Email is good and nice and you should use it. 

Pros:

- cryptography: well-established, platform agnostic systems
- authentication: identity verification readily available
- federated: can use any client you want, host your own server, send to anyone, etc.
- asynchronous: no pressure to answer (people don't see "read" status), can answer whenever
- low bandwidth: works on dial-up, bad cell signal, whatever
- opportunistic: can compose offline, send later when you get connected
- readability: inline replies are natural and easy and threading is built in
- simplicity: text is the universal human interface, can be easily parsed/searched/translated on the fly
- interoperability: huge software projects are managed by smart text parsing in emails, many web services offer email gateways/interaction

Cons:

- not "instant"
- protocol abuse means spam avoidance requires non-trivial effort
- HTML is allowed

I was fired last week by Google for organizing. All I did was make a popup to share the labor notice Google has to share with its workers.

3 hours later mgmt came to my desk, took my phone/laptop, escorted me away. I never got to say goodbye.

Asking for Money, Food and Transportation :boost_ok:​ 

I am still in a tough financial spot right now. I need $145 before the end of the week. I need $45 for travel to and from my therapist's office on Thursday morning. I also need $100 for both travel to and from the grocery store and for food.

Please help me out:

Mid life crises:

Women: I've started taking art classes and learning Korean. I'm not very good at either yet, but its fun to learn.

Men: I bought a car I can't afford and cheated on my wife.

What if a Star Trek spinoff just about Data and his cat?

looking through ZUN's authors notes for TH7: Perfect Cherry Blossom and I love his attitude about Easy Mode and/or watching replays/videos of people clearing the game

Asking for Money :boost_ok:​ 

I am still in a tough financial spot right now, and the program I am in is still not going to be taking me food shopping, and they don't help me get to and from my therapist's office.

I need $45 before Wednesday night, so I can travel to and from my therapist's office, and then I will need $100 before Thursday night, so I can go food shopping on Friday night, so I can buy food for the coming week.

Please help me out if you can:
