Hilarious. As a non native English speaker, that took me a few seconds to get. But it's so good lmao, I'm stealing this one.

I'm disappointed Spain isn't the jesus portrait restoration gone wrong. That shit is hilarious.

Fruits. I don't have the habit of eating any fruit. It's super unhealthy and when I do remember to buy fruit when grocery shopping, I am always surprised how good it tastes, only to forget about it for a couple more months...

Yeah I was really looking forward for LoR being a big hearthstone fan. However the way the turns work just never clicked with me. My brother on the other hand completely abandoned HS and only plays LoR now. The cards and the effects are amazing though, it's one of those games I feel sad I don't like it hahaha

Also very hyped for arcane season 2. A bit frustrating that it will take so long but, if it means it's as high quality as the first one them I'm all for it.

League of legends.

Absolutely despised it, thought it was just pointless since progress doesn't really carry over from match to match, so what's the point?

Eventually gave it a go back in 2011 and never got rid of it. Took me a while to get into it too, I'd only play because of my brother and with friends on teamspeak but eventually got reeeeally into it.

These days I don't have time, or at least don't want to invest it, for rankeds or even SR (5x5) so I mostly play ARAMs and some of the riot forge games (LOTRK, song of nunu). Looking forward for the mmo, really love the universe and I loved the TV show too.

I use this all the time to fix my electronics :) great resource and their tools are good too. A bit expensive but at least you know you're supporting a good cause.

Well to add to that then, Microsoft outlook also has a free alias service, which work as a redirect email that you can enable/disable at will. But I believe there's a limit to those, so I just use my Gmail address most times.

When registering for stuff I always pay very close attention to not check the "send me offers and promotions" checkbox, unless I am genuinely interested.

If any gets by, or if any by default signs you up, whenever I get an email from them I'll go to the bottom of the email and unsubscribe.

This means that all the marketing emails are from things that I genuinely have interest on. Sometimes, even these things get too spammy and unsubscribe from those that kinda act abusive. They aren't your "FREE LIMITED IPHONES! OPEN NOW!" kind of emails. Those I mark as spam, hoping to improve the detection system on whatever email client, and move on.

So, essentially, I have "free time" to read those as much as you and I have "free time" to come here on lemmy. It's something I am interested on.

Edit: just realised I didn't specifically answer your questions but it's basically:

  1. Just a regular guy.
  2. I am interested in the ones I do get.
  3. Sometimes before sleep or when I go to the bathroom I look at emails/lemmy/others.

Edit2: I think there's a distinction to make here between SPAM emails and Newsletters. SPAM emails are mostly sent based on leaked emails lists or something. Newsletters, you usually sign up for them (knowingly or not).

Edit3: Bonus ProTip - If you use Gmail you can get a + sign after your email and before the @ symbol and whatever your write on there is ignored. So for instance myemail+otherwords@gmail.com will still forward to myemail@gmail.com . This means you can kind of find out who leaked your email if you register as "email+websitename@gmail.com", however this tip is getting known a bit more so some websites now sanitize your email and it won't work as intended... :(

Also, if for some reason you'll be using the email as the login it can be kinda crap.

Sorry for the long comment :) interesting topic.
