    @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:

    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.

    In the general settings there are thread view options about showing profile pictures and the broadband option etc.

    I'm not sure it is the profile picture because in my profile I have no picture but I do have the big picture aboce the avatar in all my posts.
    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...

    Could just be that @therother broke my profile to punish me of course.

    I had better watch out too, then. Though I am only half-Dutch, so maybe I am safe.

    I was really just giving Frags a heads-up and twitting him a bit. Did not mean to turn this into a Watchtower moment.

    Yes, but then it looked like he wanted help so I couldn't resist to solve the issue.

    I think we can move on now.

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

    Well said, Seamus Fermanagh.

    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. 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.

    Ahh oops. Oh well.

    And I like to think I have come out of my introverted shell in the two years since we have met. But thanks!

    Almost got caught in a rental scam from Craigslist the other day. A friend and I were looking for an apartment together and we found this seemingly great one for $2500 a month in a great area, coming fully furnished too. Now for a 2 bed, 2 bath, $2500 is on the low side for the area we are looking at and having it come furnished is even rarer. So we thought hey, what a deal! 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.

    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?

    There is a difference. Chatting with a friend is consensual.
