That’s not actually the original pride flag. That’s the one with 2 mission stripes that were taken away due to cost. The original had turquoise instead of blue and a pink and indigo stripe, so one color more than the rainbow. Rainbows have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

The 8 striped also symbolized different things. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBTQ)

I agree with what you’re saying. As they keep adding more things to the flag, it becomes cluttered and harder to see.

Why wouldn’t you talk about a bear wearing its dresses?

Yes, the bear is wearing multiple dresses.

If nobody wants them, then they are worth $0.

It looks like the GDPR covers no unsubscribe option in emails

Report it to the FTC. The CAN-SPAM Act calls for something like a $50K fine for every email sent that doesn’t include a one-click unsubscribe button.

Oh, I didn’t realize they were available on blackberries and the first iPhone.

I remember there was a lot of confusion in the 90s when email was introduced to teachers and late 90s when attendance was inputted into a computer program. Getting a 60 year-old professor to not only use a smart phone, but to utilize them in a lecture when they’ve only used books and a blackboard for the last ~40 years of their career would be difficult. Boomers and Silent Generation had a hard enough time figuring out how to use a TV remote, let alone figuring out how to allow students to access a URL via QR code embedded into a PowerPoint presentation.

QR codes weren’t a big thing at that time and weren’t integrated into the first smart phones, eventually you could download an app to use a QR code. However those weren’t really in use in education settings until closer to 2015.
