Exactly, so if you're well, but then you contract a chronic illness, one that leaves you in constant pain, you'll eventually "return to your own previous happiness level" right? So no big deal?

Excellent point: conservative television empire Sinclair Broadcast Group writes a lot of talking points for local affiliates.
No wonder Trump loved them so much:
> So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased. Sinclair is far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC, which is a total joke.

talking heads on daytime talk shows != the news

Not to worry, the hedonic treadmill means they'll be just as happy as everyone else! (right?)

They're comparing it to SMS and voice calling on Android (and apples and oranges are very similar)

idk, I've tried baiting these -- respond with "no problem, your appointment is booked!" They will thank you and proceed with the "so what are your hobbies" part.

So, how many fake 6-digit codes did you give them before they caught on?

Terrible straw man. The OP themselves explains why spam is much more than "doing regular business:"
> I was told that cold emails are just what B2B companies do and that it is widely accepted, [...] but it just doesn't feel right to me. For me personally, I hate cold emails. I associate it with spam. Do unto others, and all that. I actually hate spam emails so much that I made a custom email service to help combat it.
