Tried starting a Yahoo account lately?
 
It is a goddamned joke. No wonder this company is dying faster than a fart in hurricane. Fuck 'em.

Don't have a phone? Fuck you. You can't Yahoo.

Don't want to be bothered by unwanted texts and calls for the rest of your goddamned life? Fuck you. You can't Yahoo.

Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em in the ass. Twice. Fuck 'em in the ass til they start liking it, then snatch the dick out and let their asshole slam shut. On glass shards. Then they can slide crack first down 90 feet of barbed wire. Into a pool of alcohol. After being forced to watch their children be gang-raped to death and then eaten by every cannibal on the Congo.

Fuck 'em is the gist of what I'm trying to get across. The entirety of Yahoo can drown in my ball sweat for all I care.

That must be extra annoying, given all the money we've all paid them over the years... ;)

Google and Amazon, among others, hound me for a phone number constantly, but at least they provide a way around it. What is the purpose of having a Yahoo account these days?

Clodfobble 05-06-2016 04:41 PM

There are Yahoo Groups message boards, that some groups prefer over Facebook groups. If your group is on Yahoo Groups, you have to have a Yahoo ID (email account, effectively) to login and use the messsage board, although nothing says you ever have to use the email account or give it out to anyone.

If they do die, AT&T's gonna have to find someone else to provide a webmail interface for their e-mail service. It's stupid, AT&T has a fairly good website, but they're too lazy to come up with their own webmail, so instead AT&T customers get AT&T Yahoo mail.

Flickr is Yahoo now.

Most of my black customers have yahoo email addresses. Is it racist of me to have made that observation?

classicman 05-06-2016 08:28 PM

Yup. PITA too.

lumberjim 05-06-2016 09:03 PM

Pain in the ass, or Pita is also racist?

John Sellers 05-06-2016 10:23 PM

Actually, c'man just called you a piece of Arabic bread. :p:

No, it's just one of those interesting observations we see in our world around us. It would only be racist if you preceded or followed it with, 'Yahoo is only used by lowlife deadbeat junkies', then racist for sure.

I'll make an interesting(to me) observation. Whether your question was kidding or not, you still made the connection in your mind that whenever you make a statement including 'black people', you have to be cautious it could be interpreted as racist. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's a refection of the world today, full of people looking for something to be offensive, or triggers.
Now back to the regularly scheduled thread.

Only if you'd said "black people use Yahoo", as though they aren't individuals.


BTW, rednecks use AOL and Jews use Gmail.

See?;)

lumberjim 05-07-2016 08:44 AM

I don't think I've ever seen an Indian customer that didn't use Gmail.

The thing that truly baffles me is the women I interact with at the school who have a family-wide email address. Like, not just an address for family shit and then both spouses have their own... the husband has an email address at his work, and they share one personal account for all other stuff. It is weird beyond weird.
