Damn college won't stop bothering me...

If I had that many unread emails, I'd just abandon the account.
Pins!
Mildly annoying. But my sister has a habit of walking around with a "new voicemail" notification on her phone, and when I point it out to her she says, "Oh, I know what it is." And she'll leave it there for weeks. Which makes me grind my teeth.
I really have to remind myself that once the number gets to a certain height, you're essentially forfeiting functionality. When an "unread" tag doesn't mean anything, you have sort of an arms race of what emails you actually do need to pay attention to. I mean, look at my gmail inbox: it's got Trash, Archive, Inbox, Unread, Important, and Starred - six levels of rating my emails' importance, and the only thing I use is whatever's in the top few rows.
Time to pay off the bills for this month and do an "Archive all"
You can go into the settings for gmail and get rid of the promotions, social, and forums inboxes and just leave the "primary" inbox.Because I simply don't give out or use my gmail, the only things landing in it were that crap anyway. Now nothing shows up in it. I only have a gmail because I had to have one when I got my Android phone. I've had to learn how to "strangle" google products. Like when they crammed google+ up my ass if I wanted to keep using my youtube account. I strangled/muted everything on that google+ account so now it's just out there floating as another zombie account doing nothing.
My gmail is my primary personal email account. I'm sure as hell not using my work email for everything.
Since the "social" and "promotions" tabs are there pretty much purely to allow you to ignore unimportant stuff, app makers just need to realize that and allow you to only pick certain inbox categories for unread count tracking.
Now I understand.
Meh. If it was important, they'd call me. If it is something legally important, they'd send postmarked mail.
I made a junk mail email over 10 years ago when I originally wanted to sign up with Pizza Hut's online system (because I'm a stuffed-crust whore), and it has accumulated over 500k unread emails from various other sites I used it to sign up with. There's likely only a couple dozen actually 'read' emails in there simply for the confirmation code or hyperlink.
Yelling at butts will never NOT be funny. Thanks, Psy!
Also, Abby is awesome. Keep up with TLH because it's the tits!
I love League of Legends, but seriously...screw you, Teemo.
I tried that once. With over 28000 email message in my inbox it locked up my web browser and I had to kill the process to do anything. I decided to just live with it after that.
Yup.
My turn to be 'that guy', I guess - looser style is one thing, but Gabe transforming into some red-eyed hellbeast to do a wild take every time he gets upset is getting a bit old and/or silly. And when he isn't, he's doing something with his mouth and enormous chipmunk teeth that's equally bizarre. It's like Mike is flanderizing his own alter-ego. (Illustrative link omitted so as not to pull you all down the rabbit hole.)
I'm not saying I could do better, but I know he can do better. I pine for the subtle artistry of the Wandering Age, to give but one example.
I'm having trouble getting behind the direction Mike has taken his art in the past year or two. I miss the more subtle style of somewhere in the range of 2006 through 2011. I feel it was more congruous with Jerry's writing.
In addition to being a more appropriate use of the red-eyed hellbeast face Mike has taken to use every time Gabe expresses any sort of anger, I think this is just a better drawing:

Kids is probably why.
Sadly, I ditched the PC that had Outlook Express several years ago and now I only view the Comcast account's emails on the actual Comcast site. I just checked it and they must purge every so often because there are only 164 unread emails.
It's basically all spam. The only times I go out there are if some site sent me an email where I have to click on something to authenticate. All the "real people" in my life have other email addresses where they can reach me.
Now I wish I did still have Outlook Express. I'd love to see what the number would be up to after all these years.

Doesn't that feel better?
Don't answer that.
