“I apologized, learned a lesson, and it won’t happen again,” Boebert said.

I doubt very much that she learned anything, and it will probably happen again.

What lesson, Lauren? What lesson?

To try harder to not get caught.

That tip would’ve been handy at the musical.

Stop it with those really, really hard questions, okay?

Force them to show you their genitals before calling security.

You know that “unsubscribe” button in lists? IF it works at all, it means “unsubscribe from THAT list”, not from the server or other lists that will be created and not even from the same list that will be recreated in the future.

So, “it won’t happen again” simply means with that person (in that restroom).

I made a donation the other day l, carefully unchecked the newsletter box, and immediately got a newsletter in my inbox (a donation confirmation would have been fine).

Whatever, easy to manage, but come on!

When that happens I immediately report it as spam. Enough of those reports and they start getting filtered automatically for everyone.

It's a pain in the ass to get off those lists, even when you end up on them erroneously and there's no actual spam messages that got you there. Getting off when there's an actual digital trail and real reports is even harder.
