Your list appears to be missing Galaxy Quest and Dark Star.
(Though the latter is so awful it's good)
Does this count as truly heinous? I'd have reached that descriptor after about three unwanted mails.

welcome to why I try and use individual addresses for each thing I sign up to. Easy to block at smtp

oh yeah, that one was fun. Honestly that you didn't immediately tell me that you are not doing aoc gives me hope that 2020 will end on a good note. Thank you.
We had a cat who used to jump on our glass coffee table. One day we had the glass off the top for cleaning and she jumped straight through it.
She got used to that, and then when we put the glass back on, she ended up standing underneath it and jumping up into the glass *CLONK*

I think, for the empathy you're seeking, you have to look to FOSS *authors*. Only people who've been through the emotional rollercoaster of looking after FOSS are likely to properly understand what it takes :(
(Where I think almost anyone can empathise with "work for money")
While I'm not certain, I'd guess this is, in part, due to the "If I paid nothing for it, it's worth nothing" combined with "If you don't charge for it, clearly you *want* to give it away and thus you *want* to satisfy me and my needs for nothing."

@ericwastl Last night I dreamed that AoC2020 was a thinly veiled attempt to get everyone to write SARS-COV-2 vaccine finders. Please say it's so :D

@monzo My mother was spammed by someone claiming to be Monzo. Who at your organisation should I arrange to send a copy of the scam email to, so that they can track down and prevent future such problems? (I am a Monzo customer, my mother is not)

Client: "Three days in and I realize it will be a very short honeymoon. I'm starting to think that large groups of people trying to get things done are dysfunctional by default."

I sometimes do that, with my bone conduction headphones. So they're not even ear-muffs at that point.
I've had to write up a plan to gamify my intake/exercise in an attempt to shed my lockdown weight :( (hackmd.io/3M7rShR3QIKpJGuvR4β¦) it's not going very well yet ;(

The "return to work" line being pushed by the government is deliberately disingenuous.
It's meant to convey an image of metropolitan laziness to their base and try and trigger guilt in those at home.
I'm working damn hard at home.
The correct phrase is 'return to the office'.
