I keep hearing of people doing that, amd sending emails amd texts to the wrong person.
I have not made any of those mistakes. It does help that I've only ever used email as a case manager, and I had that "just learned" vigilance about my emails, because I basically learned how to do email with that job.
And then texting I got into the habit of checking for the correct mailing address early in life and it seems to have transferred to digital stuff.

I still really don't understand CC and BCC.

I still really don't understand CC and BCC.

CC, everyone you send it to, knows you sent it to the other folks you listed in CC...send a copy
BCC, everyone you send it too, does not know you sent it to someone as BCC....send a blind copy

 

[Revoltingest]

I still really don't understand CC and BCC.

"CC" means "carbon copy", ie, sending a copy to a person.
Others in the email will see this recipient.
"BCC" means blind CC, ie, others won't see this recipient.

The bear's explanation just didn't sit well with me.

McDonnell's face, those big, bulgy eyes I've never seen blink, he's a Deep One. The evidence is clear.

Didn't you know?
Lack of blinking means that Satan has taken control of the person.
There are other clues. Ever see a guy with a man bun? Satan.

But better...cuz it was the way I wanted it said.

I am convinced that in America freedom of religion is becoming freedom to kill. Treating abominable sinners like garbage as a right, not having to hire those sinners and fire them as a right, doctors and pharmacists able to refuse to serve services and medications to patients, faith healing for kids over real medicine, and now in person services amidst a pandemic.

Believers need the gentle & caring hand of the heathen guiding them.
It could very well be that God created atheists for the good of the faithful.
