What the question is asking for, is an answer where the value and the chance of choosing it at random are the same.

None of the answers satisfy that condition, because you have a 50% chance of choosing 25%, a 25% chance of choosing 50% and a 25% chance of choosing 0%.
None of the answers match the chance of choosing it.

+1 for Philip K. Dick. My favorites are probably Counter-clock World and A Scanner Darkly

Another one that wasn’t mentioned yet is Stanisław Lem. The Futurological Congress totally blew my mind.

Was that the same as the “Family Game“ ? Lots of people have that one back in the day, and multi-game pirate cartridges were very common too.

I 100% did set them up from day one, and for several months every mail I sent from my domain to gmail got rejected, so I stopped trying.

I did a couple of tests today and it seems to be working now, so I guess they are doing more than just looking at the DNS records.

How do I build up reputation? Should I keep trying to send from that domain even if it gets rejected?

I have all the DNS things configured as per Proton’s instructions.

Yes, but normally I don’t send a lot of emails anyway.

If I send to any @gmail.com address, it’s rejected, unless I change the From to my @proton.me

This is how I use Proton. The setup process is really easy with clear instructions on what to configure in your DNS provider.
The only problem I have is that gmail rejects emails from my domain, I have to use proton’s address.

It was indeed in a building that belonged to a church.
The whole AA program (the 12 steps book) is very explicitly based on the idea that the only way you can recover from your addiction is through god.

That’s true. My wife has been sober for more than a year now. She went to AA meetings and did therapy. We are both atheist, and she really hated the religious part of the AA program, but talking with people that went through similar experiences really helped her.

GLS is the worst!!

I was supposed to get mine on Friday afternoon. Was following the tracking down to 1 stop away, and then I got a “sorry, we tried to deliver it but couldn’t find you” message. They certainly didn’t try, not even drove by (I live in a very quiet street and would have heard it).

And it’s not the first time they did the same.

I wasn’t able to place the order using PayPal, got an instant error (from Steam) every time. Then I tried with card and it went through without an issue.
