@KF I don't really know what it means but I get a damp and sorrowful feeling around your posts, it may be because sometimes feelings run amock or maybe because of the feeling, "I wish I could help you, take away your sorrows in a click of fingers, it always pains me to see a brother human suffer."

Being a lightworker, you are accustomed to see smiling faces at you in a peaceful world free of all humanly diseases and sorrows. It really pains me to see someone in trouble knowing that I cannot do anything.

Is it just me or does anyone else get a lot of advertisements for dating sites focused on various nationalities. So far I've gotten ads for Russian, Asain, Middle Eastern, and Greek dating sites.

When did I get such a fancy name?

("Ads" is short for "advertisements.")
On an unrelated note, what are these UESP point things?

I haven't the time for roleplaying at all, sorry. I might pop into chat later tonight though.

Yes, I get them too.

Points measures how awesome one is. Mars is the most awesome member in the forum. There was a huge debate whether to change the definition of the points to something else but there was quite a civil war over it. Now, Mars owns half the forum, Beta owns all the cakes, Aarah built a large pillow fort and keeps demanding she is referred to as queen as the north(Am working on a way to defeat her. So far, bland tea is not working) and for some bizarre reason, I own a stick of destiny. It's useless! It keeps telling me that summer will eventually be installed for britian!

Joking aside, they are a.... ok, i just cba to explain it. Check the ol' announcement forum for it. What? It's Fredas and I am LazyDovah. SheoDovah is out having a cuppa. SillyDovah made a small appearance. Yes, I have many forms. I am not legion.

I don't get adverts as they fear me. Or I just use adblocker. Admittly, it is starting to become less effective as some sites have bypassed it and we may see the Adblocker race.

Some Adblock programs allow certain ads past their filters. I don't know the details since I don't use Adblock, but it might be worth looking into your settings to see if that can be changed.

I knew what you were referring to, but I rarely see ads on mobile >_> with the majority from youtube. At least there, its less random and more so.. Meh?

I use ad block at home but I was browsing the forums at work, looking at old posts and followed a link I made to Oatibix on Amazon.de so then my ads were all for buying cereal on German Amazon. It was very targeted.

Incidentally I did buy some Oatibix, actually eating it right now. It's decent, exactly what it sounds like, it's weetabix but with oats. Don't think I'll be buying it again though, it's not as good as porridge or Weetabix. If I wanted an oaty breakfast I prefer to just have porridge, porridge is really nice.

All users admitting to using ad block have been fined the amount of monies I would have received if they weren't using ad block. Let that learn you!

To be clear, we have stopped feeding MARS at this point. You are literally killing him by using ad block.

Dirty Spaceman · Post by **Dirty Spaceman** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 1:52 am

I use Adblock, but I have the UESP whitelisted. I do the same for the sites of all the webcomics I read, as well as YouTube - which I guess some people see as the main purpose of Adblock, but I like giving good channels their rightful shekels.

Post by **BetaB17** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 2:11 am

I guess I might as well chime in >_> but when I had my laptop, I did eventually install an adblock, but for selective reason.

Sites I frequented and supported, like uesp, escapist, ect.. Got whitelisted, and for reasons fairly evident. Services like Hulu always were whitelisted, the ads were both acceptable and a fair trade for the quality(and sometimes free) service in return

In similar state, YouTube normally got a similar treatment.. Tho.. At the time, ads were becoming increasingly more, how do I say, annoying and intrusive, down to the point where some videos became borderline intolerable >_> If I had the option to blacklist the more annoying ads and keep the more passive ones(glad that phase is over) Tho honestly speaking I would switch the whitelisting on when content creators I frequented would be beng-watching

Unfortunately, there were some sites where the blatant overcrowding of ads and sheer annoyance of them drove me to the option

especially certain wikia sites where the load time would literally freeze(and BC my laptop refuses to give up on a lost cause) and eventually crash the browser. I'm sorry, but ads should never become THAT much of a problem, and I do not apologize for my choice

I don't use adblock either because everyone need revenue. i just mute the volume or switch to another tab until it's over

Went to a walk in clinic yesterday for the shoulder at 1ish pm. They were booked till 5:30. Didn't want to go to ER cause that bill would be through the roof so went to the pool hall instead and drank (oldest pain killer in the world). Friends there were former nurses and apparently I've got a 'huge knot'. Massaged it and used a hot towel. That was nice but the pain is back and damn does this hurt like a mofo. I wish I were Wolverine so I could just heal myself in like 10 seconds.

Post by **BetaB17** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 9:15 am

Hot towel is the real MLG here. That and those bar nurses

My neck hurts, definitely underestimated Serena though it seems as it was worth it.

She is the strongest woman ever, and that is why I love her. I hope she loves me too.

After I was on my knees, she grabbed my shirt and she herself crouched and kissed me, it was so unreal. I could hear a romantic music play at a distance.

Then does that mean that she loves me? What do you think?

Still the neck hurt is too much but she might help me.

Oye, gotta pop the question here!

At which point does your basic candle stop being just that, and starts being a miniature bonfire? Cause I'm thinking I'm two scrap papers short of that threshold.. And 90% there is no more scented wax left...

.... And 40% certain the glass casing is already cracked from the inferno...

But.. It's just so.. Beautiful

@Beta did you ever pay attention to my signature? I am fire made flesh, touch me and you will burn. Burn them all!

Post by **BetaB17** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 12:05 pm

No. Don't want to. Maybe later

(Can't read sigs in mobile btw)

The SheoDovah · Post by **The SheoDovah** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 12:34 pm

The main reason why I use adblock is because I loathe autoplaying adverts. It would drain my data and I have little patience for playing "Regain the site." game with adverts that take over. It's easier for me to do a blanket wide approach instead of select sites. I'm also paranoid about getting viruses from adverts thus adblock. I used to have issues where adverts would assume direct control of the site i was looking at and just ruined my browsing experience.

@PD, I can't offer any advice or thoughts. Never had any experience in the romance department.

*blush* I feel lucky, two girls fighting for me.

Post by **MARS** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 3:33 pm

Some day you'll realize being the prize of a conflict is not fun. Nor is fighting over romantic endeavors that haven't even been started yet, but hey. Enjoy good feelings.

Arm wrestling can be dodgy. I saw a man dislocate his shoulder from an arm wrestle. You could see it just pop right out of its socket.

ProphetDragon · Post by **ProphetDragon** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 4:03 pm

We were not wrestling, she challenged in a hand-to-hand combat duel. We both are well-versed in Wing Chun and Tai Chi. She just used an old trick from Ip Man to knock my head to the back. She did it so fast that I was lightly injured.
