The one that has a checkmark and is not greyed out is ON, surely.

That IS the right answer, but left is ALWAYS on and right is ALWAYS off.

They flipped it to purposefully fuck me into choosing to keep getting their garbage e-mails.

When someone says "it does that thing where" and then proceeds to tell me what it does. For example:

"they do that thing where they release half of the items and delay the other half to get better results"

Just tell me they release half of the items and delay the other half to get better results.
