This just isn't true, of course you can, you just need to use a hosting provider or ISP that allows it. Plenty do.

Yeah they are definitely the worst of the bunch. But that's unsurprising I guess.

Definitely got worse since 2015 before seeming to get better the last year or two. At least with Gmail. So many variables though, so this is more an impression based on my own experience.

Yes, but it depends heavily on whether your mail server has a clean IP with no spam history, the reputation of the IP range it belongs to, whether you've correctly set up DKIM/SPF records, etc. And you might have to get MS to whit

I've self-hosted email on and off since the mid 2000s and my impression is that with the widespread adoption of DKIM/DMARC, the large providers have toned down the spam-by-default treatment of small/unknown email servers. Eve

It's cool to see some new modern all-in-one email solutions. Stalwart is another good one. Would be even cooler to see this lead to a bit of a resurgence of small and self-hosted email providers.

Imagine a country where second grade kids in mid-western states, myself included, would be led by teachers in class to sing songs that go "pizza hut, pizza hut, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut..."

I don't think there's necessarily any contradiction. This is a critique of the Web3 paradigm (crypto all the things) and not cryptocurrency itself for say, payments.

Perhaps some new ones do, but generally most containers have nothing of the sort: "Depending on whether they are full or empty, and on the nature of the cargo inside, containers may float at the surface for several days or weeks prior

It's great that people are talking about the Green New Deal in a broader context, and that Ocasio-Cortez is pushing it into the US mainstream, but it's worth remembering that the idea (and policy targets) of a "Green New Deal

"The more alcohol a society consumes, the fewer alcohol-related problems and alcohol-related deaths (including cirrhosis) it has." Heh, what? Exhibit A: Russia. I'm all for copious drinking, but that's comedy.
