I think Quickie mentioned before that he was using his 3DS recently.

I know, I see him indirectly on some online places, but he isn't actually responding to anything at all.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2126 on:** July 18, 2014, 07:25:43 AM

I thought he still had to do some kind of patriotic duty or something.

Reaperoid · **Reply #2127 on:** July 18, 2014, 08:46:37 AM

Not for a whole month, which is why I was getting concerned after two weeks. No-one should have seen him online on anything in those first two weeks if it was reserves duty he had to do.

My computer's having issues (looks to be the GPU after all).

I'm stuck in Safe Mode (with Networking on, obviously, and after some registry finagling audio as well) until further notice. Which probably means until I get a new computer or something. Who knows when that'll be though, which is why I'm really pushing my album so I might be able to afford something.

It's really freaking humid indoors for some reason, not just my house but my abuelos too.

A skunk attacked my dog. [tornado fang]ing lovely...

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2131 on:** August 03, 2014, 03:05:15 AM

Like biting and scratching or stinking him up?

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #2132 on:** August 03, 2014, 03:09:08 AM

It sprayed him with stink in the face and right in one of his eyes. I can smell the putrid stench from my room.

Thanks but my parents are already giving him a tomato bath to get rid of the smell as we speak. Thanks for being considerate though.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2135 on:** August 03, 2014, 03:27:46 AM

That's good, thank you tomato gods.

Police Girl · **Reply #2136 on:** August 14, 2014, 01:00:47 AM

So, this is annoying.

I've got my amazon and youtube browsing/watch history shut off, okay?

Well, for some [tornado fang]ing reason, they've both stealth activated. I watch a video on Youtube and despite my watch history claiming that its shut off, I get recommendations based off of whatever thing I've watched.

Amazon, same deal, browsing history is shut off, yet its tracking and recommending me [parasitic bomb] based off of what I've looked at (which is especially annoying since just because I look at something doesn't mean I want to buy it or things like it.).

What the [tornado fang] is going on?

You may have to change your internet privacy settings.

Police Girl · **Reply #2138 on:** August 14, 2014, 03:32:36 AM

Privacy settings?

They are on "Tell websites I do not want to be tracked."

I imagine this is an issue with Firefox itself. This never used to happen until I updated to the most recent version.
In addition to that, I'm noticing huge memory leaks (A certain program on my computer refuses to run if too much memory is in use.), and if I'm on one browser session for too long the graphics start wigging out, going black, and corrupting.

Not much you can do for sites that do not acknowledge Do Not Track in your browser. Although, try this http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

Its less that and more that they have options at both Amazon AND Youtube to prevent them from tracking browsing history, and I have both of them set so they don't track that stuff, and they still do. Its like something went wrong and their programming [tornado fang]'d up.

Amazon's is particularly damning. They'll track the history, I go to the browsing history page, it'll be empty, turn it back on, and wow suddenly those last four items i looked at are there how did that happen, then I repeat the same thing and restore it to them not [tornado fang]ing looking at what I browse.

Youtube's thing just pisses me off though, no indication its tracking me, no indication that I've gotten rid of their list, I pause/resume that [tornado fang]ing thing and clear it a million times and the list might still persist. It doesn't track me if I watch an embedded video elsewhere, but if I watch stuff through a link to youtube or on there directly? There goes the [tornado fang]ing stupid recommendations.

Reaperoid · **Reply #2143 on:** August 16, 2014, 09:37:40 AM

Well, if it helps somehow, YoutubeCenter can hide recommendations, and "What's up next..." panels at the end of the video

Police Girl · **Reply #2144 on:** August 16, 2014, 09:41:41 AM

I already have those blocked.
Its just homepage recommendations that bug me.

I don't even like Amazon's recommendations but I'd really prefer if they didn't even have the option of basing stuff of what I look at.

Frozen Potato · **Reply #2145 on:** August 26, 2014, 05:03:00 PM

The cat I said I picked the other day. Died. Hit by a car.

I'm extremely confused with what I'm feeling at the moment. I can't even force myself to shed a tear...

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2146 on:** August 26, 2014, 06:19:24 PM

I'm so sorry.

Quickman · **Reply #2147 on:** August 30, 2014, 12:54:55 AM

Blargh to That Friend and his dependency. Bah to it! He realized that he needs to grow up and be independent, and he's convinced that he'll be independent by moving in with me and depending on me. I've told him countless of times that I'm not interested and want nothing to do with him. I don't know how to make "no" any more clear.

He needs to grow the [tornado fang] up and be independent. I have my own life and it doesn't include him. Creepy stalker.

And my nose won't stop running. Yuck.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2148 on:** August 30, 2014, 12:56:43 AM

That....that just sounds really stupid, not that I thought highly of the guy in the first place.

Quickman · **Reply #2149 on:** August 30, 2014, 01:06:52 AM

Here's his rant. While it sucks that his dad didn't invite him on that trip, I can't really muster any more sympathy for him. He's overreacting to something that most of us independent adults don't really think about. Once you move out of your parents' house and start a life of your own, what they do with their lives is of little consequence to you. They can go on trips and not invite you because you each have your own lives to attend to.

It struck me as petty. Of course, after his rant, he immediately started bugging me about moving to Pennsylvania, which I told him yet again, NO. If he moves out here, I won't stop him, but he is NOT living with me. I can't accommodate him and his dependency. I've made that very, VERY clear and he still doesn't get it.

I'm an independent adult. He is not. I want nothing to do with his dependency, as I have my own life to worry about. He claims he'll be a "balance" (wat), when in truth, he'll be nothing but a hinderance. I don't need that.

I'm going to see about getting him banned from TFN, as he stalks me via PM. He's been banned from two IRC channels for the same reasons, and i need to get him banned from a third before I can go onto IRC again. Once he's banned from those two Freenode channels, I can be active again. Otherwise, he stalks me through PM.

He's also stalking another TFN member through PM. He was banned from their IRC for stalking and generally being uncomfortable.
