Puzzling that the page has a headline declaring it "Proudly anti-fascist", but has nothing in the FAQ/About explaining what that means in this context.

I have the same issue. My suspicion is that this is going to be analyzed as a serious safety concern at some point.
It seems that headlights got much brighter to benefit the driver behind them, without any consideration that they blind everyone else -- and also reduce the ability for peoples' eyes to adjust to dim conditions. That can't be a good trade-off.
The problem with this line of thinking is the "just".
Sure, physics says it's calories in and out, and we all agree that mostly makes sense.
But -- how do you measure how many calories are going out? Sleep is known to have an impact on weight. How does one translate their sleep quality or sleep issues into a better "out" measure? How do you know how many calories are going out during all of the other things you do during the day? What about the thousands of assorted complex processes going on in your body that you aren't really aware of?
For the "in"... ok, so you studiously track everything you eat. What's the efficiency that your body absorbs all of the calories from the food you ate? How many of those calories pass through and aren't actually consumed? Is eating 1000 calories of lettuce really the same thing as eating 1000 calories of pork?
If fixing this for people was just about "the equation", weight loss would be a lot easier to solve.
"Calories in, calories out" is one of those things that sounds great, but is not nearly as practical for people to actually implement as people like to imagine.
Sleep only has a second order effect on weight. Almost all of the reasons that lack of sleep affect weight loss is due to overeating (calories in) and lack of exercise (calories in).
This is just like all of the studies showing diet soda causes weight gain.Diet soda doesn’t actually cause weight gain. Diet soda gives people the license to overeat and it may cause some people to crave real sugar more. I’m sure we’ve all seen people order a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, a large fry and a Diet Coke.
Why does being accidental in nature make it an ill-fitting term? Suicide is not the only word to use the -cide suffix: genocide, regicide, homicide, uxoricide. The -cide suffix regards the act of killing, not of intention or purpose.
But then again the "self" prefix means doing it to yourself, as in "self-portrait" (which is where "selfie" comes from): taking a portrait of yourself.
So "selficide" would mean killing yourself, i.e. the same thing as suicide.
I made a similar call after an Amazon courier recently left two packages on the roadside nowhere near my house (where they are normally left at the door).
They added instructions to my account indicating which door the packages should be left at. So far, about 50% of the deliveries have been at a different door, but at least they've made it to the house.
Honestly as someone who has delivered food, goods, etc finding someone's address can be difficult and sometimes down right annoying. Also consider that delivery drivers may not have full command English.
For example those nice looking cursive addresses instead of simple to read numerals are annoying.
Then there's missing numbers, or bad choices in color, or it's black and they don't have a light for it at night.
I've always assumed that the answer is that due to the way email works, mail can, in certain (rare) situations, end up stuck in a queue somewhere between mail servers and not delivered until a couple days later.
Saying that unsubscribing takes a few days means that in the off-chance that this happens, the sender has some coverage against annoyed users who have one of these mails delivered after unsubscribing.
I'm sure that's some of it, but it's also a result of lists being pulled ahead of time. Imagine you have 100,000 subs and 10,000 of them are going to get promotion A and then another 15,000 (with some overlap) promotion B. Often, the lists are pulled before the content is ready. Sometimes getting the final approval on marketing emails takes a bit, and so the person who unsubbed when they got email A are already on the list for email B.
It is very expensive to work with out-of-date email list.
If emails address bounced or, especially, if potential recipient is known for clicking "spam" button, then sending email to such recipient significantly lowers bulk email sender score.
I use a rule of thumb that every "spam" click costs me (as a bulk email sender) about $10. If somebody already unsubscribed -- it is quite likely that the next time they receive similar email -- they will click "Spam" button (which would cost me $10).
As someone who works in email I've never used a platform that's not using real-time lists or segments. A business could certainly do it this way but it would be a lot more work and a lot less effective.
