There was a time in my lurking days when I saw Skykid as a voice of reason among the loonies and composition-challenged. I don't think quite so highly of him now, but his input is greatly appreciated. Most of the time, anyway.

BIL is definitely up there as well. GaijinPunch and Shatterhand, too.

WelshMegalodon is up there as well. We need more brutally-honest, no-holds-barred people like him.

I simply perfected the art of mic drops in text format.

Unfortunately I'm too busy of late to find time to kneecap the stupidest posts of the day, but I appreciate all the half-compliments nonetheless.

The USPS package I mentioned on the last page still hasn't had its tracking updated. Should I do something?

When you finalize with your auto car insurance company everything.. Then you remember something you need to change like a date, they start over and suddenly in the space of 20 minutes the premium went up £30.

Thanks for the advice. I'll do that right after I add the thing about "That's So Raven" to my next English essay for extra credit.

- Want to upload new image to Photobucket.
- Log in, can see my library.
- Click "upload".
- Find myself back at login screen. Log in again, back to library.
- Click "upload". Logged out again. Log back in, remove Flash blocker in case that's confusing the site.
- Click "upload". Kicked out again.
- Time to find a new image uploader. :evil: Any recommendations?

I cheated this by dragging the pic into the library no1 box which doubles as a uploader.

Was a pain until I worked this out though. I don't want to change since I have a ton of stuff on PB.

I got stuck in this loop too. If you go into your main library (one of the buttons along the top I think?) there's a different upload button that works (big blue one next to the most recent pic you uploaded).

I'm assuming it's some random dependent site NoScript is blocking or maybe the entire site is currently borked. Half-decent website design is hard these days, it seems.

Thanks for the workarounds, all; I will have to ditch that site at some point though, it really is a mess nowadays (and sends me loads more junk email than it ever did for the years I've used it), and a lot of the images in my account I could stand to delete anyways.

Recording my Crimzon Clover 1-ALL Replay only to discover after finishing recording it that only the audio was recorded, and video is just a black screen. Well, that was a half-hour wasted.

And it being impossible to have a perfect 4x scale in Deathsmiles on PC. Like, 3x is fine for me because that's around the largest it can get before things are too spaced-out for me to be able to see everything, but still.

Looking for All-in-one install disks for Win 8 and 10 on the net... and finding them in a language other than English. Other countries get them, the USA doesn't. European Union trade laws, maybe?

Lack of documentation rendering at least half of Nihon Falcom's back catalog unplayable.

This also holds true for a number of 80s microcomputer games, though not to the same extent.

Youtube keeps suggesting and autoplaying Sargon of Akkad anti-Young-Turks videos for me even though there should be nothing in my browsing history to make them think I'd want to watch them.

I'm getting a little suspicious, especially after hearing stories that videos that question our involvement in Syria get de-monetized all the time.

Well let's be crystal clear, TYT is responsible for Energy Transfer Partners losing ridiculous amounts of money if not for killing the DAPL entirely.

They sent a reporter to the scene repeatedly while the mainstream news was looking the other way, and Wes Clark jr. is the face of the 4000 veterans who showed up in support. By the time Trump is in office, ETP will at least have to renegotiate their contract. And since the price of oil is much lower now than when the current contract was negotiated they're losing a shit-ton of money.

So it's not unthinkable that the-powers-that-be want to upvote videos claiming to discredit the young turks.

That said, I really wish Cenk would retire his morning zoo sound effects.
