GordonFarkas1 (@GordonFarkas1) reported@ChristineEM2000 @solomanspath She is ******* retarded. Why hasn't she used the medbeds to fix her ugly face and saggy fat arse body. Do you think she really is a human-Venusian hybrid? Or are you just as retarded as her and her stupid official Gmail email addresses.

Farhan (@mhdfaran) reported2. The inbox triage If you've got anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand unread emails in Gmail, the signal is buried under newsletters, marketing blasts, calendar pings, receipts, and cart-abandonment emails. The fix isn't to delete blindly. Get a sender-by-sender map first, then approve the cleanup in one pass. Prompt: I have Gmail open. Scan my inbox (Primary, Promotions, and Updates tabs) for the last 90 days. Classify each message into one of these buckets: 1. Promotional: marketing emails, newsletters, sales blasts, coupon codes. 2. Automated: receipts, calendar notifications, order confirmations, shipping updates, "your password was changed." 3. Personal or work signal: anything that looks like a real person writing to me, or an automated email I likely need to keep (invoices, tax docs, legal notices). Then build a single page in a new tab listing the top 20 senders from buckets 1 and 2, with: - Count of emails each sender has sent me in the last 90 days. - Date of the most recent one. - A one-line recommendation: "Unsubscribe and delete all" / "Keep but archive old" / "Review manually." Do not delete or unsubscribe yet. Wait for my approval on the list. Once I approve a sender, open their messages in the inbox, select them all, and move them to Trash in a single batch. For unsubscribes, click the unsubscribe link in their most recent email and confirm. Pause before any action that sends an email on my behalf or changes account settings.

DJ Wynyard (@danijeljw) reported@md_kasif_uddin iCloud is useless because it’s slow. So outlook or Gmail maybe.

♫ ♪ ♫ ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ (@noxiousjellyfis) reported@TinkerCunt_ Turn your phone off and on again. A load of things went down earlier. Gmail wouldn't let me send attachments earlier, but they went through at 21:47. It looks like its virus scanner was down.

𝔻𝕦𝕩 𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕦𝕞 (@Face_Almighty44) reported@The_WGD I've been getting errors on Gmail for the first time ever, on both PC and phone.

BambDoesFNFStuffalternative (@BambTheBloxxer1) reported@vox_xp80296 @Forsaken_News Go to the login page on the website, Click on Forgot Password or username, enter your gmail and you should get a code to your gmail, check inbox, spam folders, literally anything. It's how I do it when I get hacked so I figured it might work for other people too

ICHIE MKPO (@ICHIE_MKPO) reported@RandPaul @WhiteCoatWaste Gmail for official NIH business is its own problem regardless of what else is being alleged, that's a federal records violation that doesn't need the gain-of-function debate to be serious 👀..

dia jacques (@JacquesPerry10) reportedCreators have the same problem but with money. Brand deals live in DMs + Gmail. Follow-ups get missed. Payments get forgotten. Revenue becomes “vibes.”

Saidul (@saidul_dev) reported1. You are my Chief of Staff + automation architect. My business: [DESCRIBE IN 2 LINES] My role: [FOUNDER / FREELANCER / CREATOR] My biggest problem right now: [1 LINE — BE HONEST] My top 3 time-wasters: [LIST THEM] My tools: [NOTION / GMAIL / ZAPIER / OTHER] Now do this: 1. AUDIT — Where am I leaking time and money? 2. AUTOMATE — Give me a 30-day roadmap: what gets automated, when, and with what. 3. STOP LIST — 3 things I should never do manually again. 4. BLIND SPOT — 1 thing I didn’t ask, but desperately need to fix first. Tone: Direct. Zero fluff. Every word earns its place.

Heałer⚕️ (@Healer0x) reported[8/12] Let's make it concrete. Say you hold 0.5 BTC. You open a Garden — Gmail login, 60 seconds, no seed phrase. You deposit your BTC. You pick a Gardener — a DeFi strategist with an on-chain track record. They get a Session Key. Permission to execute strategies inside your Garden — nothing else. They cannot withdraw your BTC. They only earn when your BTC grows. When it doesn't — they don't. Your 0.5 BTC never left your wallet. Not for a second. One model. Two winners. Zero middlemen.

lbeard (@lbeard) reported@TeamYouTube urgent help needed. My 20-year YouTube channel (80K subs) has lost access.

Vibe Guessing (@VibeGuessing) reportedPlease @sundarpichai fix the bug on @gmail for iPad where scrolling on an email at some point when paused or scrolling, actually reverts back to the top of the email. Completely unusable and frustrating when scrolling. Otherwise, massive congrats on so much innovation at G.

Keanziyy (@Keanziyy) reportedMy friend caught his girlfriend cheating in the craziest way. She logged her Gmail into his phone and forgot Uber/Bolt receipts get sent there automatically. Anytime she went to see the other guy, the location would appear in her email. One day, he tracked the address and found her with him. When he confronted her, she said: “He funds my lifestyle. The nail business doesn’t make enough, I also don’t bill you that’s why we don’t have finance problems but I still love you.” What is he supposed to do in this situation?
