Not going to undertake anything, good female friends who are just that are something to cherishQuote:

You might want to let him know if the issue persists.
I don't have a sig what do you see? I see nothing
Oh, I misread, thought about avatars somehow. There is a spoiler in your signature and inside it is a placeholder for a missing picture.
No there isn't, I don't undestand
Do you perhaps have signatures turned off or a skin that doesn't show them?Quote:

However, what is this photo above Fragony's avatar? I can't see anything similar, neither above Fragony's avatar nor above anyone else's. I'm intrigued.
That's me it's my face, don't know why that shows up, must have some things disabled i don't see that here
How do edit that? Can't find any options
@therother may be able to help. I've also got a custom picture there but can't seem to find the option to change it anymore. Or maybe I did but it's empty despite the values I entered long ago to choose it. Could that have been broken during an update?
It's a custom profile picture. You should be able to edit it here:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/profi...editprofilepic
No, says I didn't select anything. Could you folks see me all the time? Not that I am ashamed of my looks but I don't understand how my mugshot got there
I think it's been there for a few years, and that Husar commented on it in the Watchtower a long time ago, but you didn't quite believe him.
I thought that the profile picture was only viewable, if someone visited your profile. I can see my profile picture there (Yes Minister/Blackadder), but there's nothing when I visit Fragony's profile. There is nothing there, indicating he has not chosen any profile picture. However, I can't see any profile picture above avatars, not even mine. It's just the username, a customised user-title ("master of pwinverse"), a non-customisable usertitle (Member, Senior Member and etc.) and the avatar. So many questions, so confused.Quote:

If you go to my profile however, there does not appear to be an actual profile picture and the box in the settings is almost empty, just says "http://www." or so... :dizzy2:
Could just be that @therother broke my profile to punish me of course.
I am not sure what the hunting limits are on Niederlanders these days...Quote:

Congrats. Once free, keep running and do not stop. If you can make it the first mile or so you should be safe.Quote:

I laugh every time I pass the university I graduated from. A very affected, obnoxious laugh. It is a good feeling. I lost over eight years of my life there:ballchain:. Now if I could only find a job in that field. You would think an electrical engineering grad could get a job quickly in a place whose economy depends heavily on the work of engineers.
Take him to Detroit. Well yourself, plenty of work in your field. I have an odd fascination for that city, it's a bit like Rapture from Bioshock, an art-deco paradise gone wrong
Well, really only one city in the US for me to go to with a degree in international affairs.
I logged in and I dont really know why.
Wasn't talking to you but Vincent Butler, a tech-degree is of use there. Congratulations by the way, was ordered to congratulate you on behalve of my mates as well, they asked about your introvert self and I told them you just graduated, you must have made an impressionQuote:

But then the real estate agent wanted us to pay via money order the first month's rent plus the security deposit, which would be $5000 total before even being allowed to view the apartment. Did some sleuthing this morning, asking for payment before getting a tour is a common scam. So yeah I noped out of there.
:rtwno:
Screw this metoo stuff, this is how things ought to be. Told a friend I once had a dream about having sex with her, all she wanted to know was if she was any good. Not offended ar all, just a good laugh.
Okay, so what happened when you started groping a stranger or a female employee? Did she go "Oh Frags, such a tease" or are you now facing sexual assault charges?Quote:

Women aren't all that innocent but that's for the backroon really, you should know that I am supportive of women's rights by now, regardless. I just like it when things can be so thoughtless and without any suspicion, and atraction is just seen as a compliment, letls what innocent be innocentQuote:

Well I don't find it's on me that it only annoys me by now, I would completily back it if it wasn't hostile to me. I like to flirt a bit, always do really, I see nothing wrong with that but suddenly you are a pig because of it. I am a really decent guy but I am still on their list. A lot of them simply dislike men and men simply can't do any good for these completily humourless spikey haired dikes
Frags....Beirut would be using his axe on your last methinks. Not enough dulce et lux.
Only if I don't get him first you ever thought about that
Anyways, watched great WW1 movie I never heard of 'Galipoli' it's on youtube. Really good, WW1 is so evil
Damn, just woke up, friend comes here in tears, his cat is dying. Took care for that cat when he was in prison and got pretty fond of that cat. RIP in advance Roosje
Well public transportation was temporarily taken dawn in Phaleron, because someone had cut down the cables of the tram.
Apparently, it was accidental. The culprit actually wanted to sabotage the electric supply of the nearby controversial statue.
The pious local community have viewed it as an idol of Satan himself and they have protested against the mayor, led by a failed candidate for the national elections (with the pro-EU "River" party, not the Nazis).
I have reached the gloomy conclusion that my country is FUBAR.
'Taken dawn'was that intentional. Your country isn't all that fucked up really, you guys just have a temper
I'd petition for its removal on the grounds that I don't find it an attractive statue. I find it a little odd that they're considering it satanic. Yes it is red in color, but traditionally the use of feathered wings has connoted the angelic, not the diabolic. Red is the color associated with the Archangel Uriel.Quote:

So my 22 hour day turned out to be much longer when my flight got delayed. Ended up having to do 36+ hours with no sleep since I cant sleep on planes. Or even in the airport when my flight kept getting delayed. It was a fun day.
On the plus side I had two successful interviews and saw some great apartments so hopefully something will come of all of this!

11,000. Wow.
Frontier = best series ever. Main character is absolutily badass, manliest man ever. Set in Canada for a change, a country I oddly know nothing about
Teh mom bought two ocelots. They are really small now and very cute, not afraid at all. Still think you shouldn't have wild animals as a pet
edit, ffs not that small at all, when laying next to Erasmus, who is a Main coon, she is already half his size. She is going to be huge
Ocelots?
Small....by the standards of wild hunting cats, NOT by the standard of house cats. The suckers hunt monkeys successfully in SA.
Yep. They are adorable kittens they behave exactly the same as housecats, they love to be petted, they meow, they purr, but they aren't ordinary housecats they are pocket-panters. She shouldn't have done this. Got no pics now I'll make them later, they are quite beautiful.
Kittens of almost any cat breed are adorable. Even those breeds that are a bit off putting.
Yeah. They are supercute but they would kill you if they were bigger. They are predators through and through, they are constantly sneaking up on you, they are practising hunting. I pity everything alive here these are biological murder-machines, I have never seen anything like it they jump a meter high and snatch anything, it's quite impressive really. These are not ordinary cats they have superpowers
Kewl, really heavy storm here, why should others have all the fun. Trucks are blown right of the road and I lost my hat. Someone was kind enough to catch it.
150km/h wow, there is going to be some damage
The memes about the wind over there have been great:Quote:

Netflix just keeps giving, Ozark, also really recommended. Fantastic acting. The ending isn't really satisfying because the trouble the main character got himself and his family into is far from over, there will be a second season I guess.
Ocelots, lots of them. Not really it are only two ocelots but it feels like more. Really wild little things they go everywhere
Ocelot to keep up with then...Quote:

I call them slots, minxes that they are they keep stalking me, they are actually incredibly friendly but man.. they fly all over the place they are a feline demolition crew. Teh mom is slowly warming to my advice to not buy ocelots because they are climbing into everything probably right now including her art collection, I'll hear it later
First day of work tomorrow! I officially join the real world, going to miss the relative freedom of university I think. Though making money is always nice.
In a couple of years, when you are truly and fully "on your own bottom," you will realize how things just fit this way.Quote:

The problem is that the trend is expanding here, as well. The main issue are homeopathy charlatans with fake diplomas from shady institutions, but anti-vaccine hysteria has begun to gain some ground.
There is a Facebook group of anti-vaccination mothers, eternally wondering why their offspring gets sick, despite being very careful at not approaching any doctor at proximity.

Oh Netflix how I love you, Godless is awesome. I love grim westerns, and grim it is
done
10/10 I'm in love with Alice
At teh moms place, these ocelots are growing like crazy. It's legal to have a lynx as a pet in the Netherlands, not going to tell her that
At 9:00 PM Moscow time, all local and national Soviet TV channels would switch to a broadcast of the news program Вре́мя (Vremya, "Time").
Soviet joke:
A man is watching TV when Vremya comes on. He switches to next channel, it's still Vremya. He switches to the next channel, it's still Vremya. He switches the channel once more, but this time it's just a closeup of a KGB officer's face.
"I would stop switching channels if I were you."
This hits hard, found a letter in a cobert I didn't know I had, was in it's inner pocket. A sentence losely translated;
I am going to do die and that's a shame, it's all so easy if you have no choice, it's a shame for me and you but you will have to go on, just keep doing what you do''
Doing what, it was my job to beat up people and protecting hookers and sometimes join them
Dangit. There is a lot more in it, on his view on arts etc. Feel like a discoverer finding this, I'm going to frame this and give it to my mom.
'It's all so easy if you don't have a choice', I don't know if I should be angry or not, just found this in my pocket I have many cohberts I didn't wear it for 15 years
Another gem, someone is being stubborn if you simply can't explain why he is wrong; I think that was directed at me I am bad at that
This certainly brings up some memories of my father dying, we were completily conflicting characters when he was alive but maybe because we were much alike. Still, sorry dad I can't help not missing you at all
And yes I have issues that haunt me
Hearing Range tops around 17300-400 Hz.
Not too long ago I could jam to 20 KHz.
Get off my lawn, clouds.
Going to treat an old victimg to a dinner, he says I was always the nicest. I wonder what the others did
And once the atheist dies and isn't useful for lessons anymore, god sends the atheist, whom he created himself, to eternal damnation...
A very happy, reassuring lesson of hope indeed. :dizzy2:
I'm no Biblical scholar, but my remembrances of the new testament suggests that nobody goes to heaven without embracing God. It does not suggest eternal torture for those who do not.Quote:
