Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 66389075 United States 12/04/2015 09:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not going to respond to these responses and the single one star with melodramatic outrage, turning my nose up at this turnout. I would like to edit out the spelling errors on my OP, but I understand. I see it as an affirmation of a system, afraid of beinf gamed, is being played like a pinball machine set on freeplay at the local tavern. It is symptomatic of a firstworld power reduced to a laughingstock because the guns it sticks to is a perverted form of capitalism, utterly alien to its original form. Nevertheless, please consider my plea to remove or at least validate the use of these redirects, but take it in all due respect. Thank you, powers that be here. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70606691 United States 12/04/2015 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hello, I am an anonymous browser in no way affiliated with government or Political Activism Committees. I am not speaking on behalf of a corporation, nation, religion, or Ponzi Scheme here. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66389075 I like how the tab has a little alien dude, and miss the numerous threads speculating on reports of both recent and historic ET activity. I am not a bot. I am troubled by the nagging redirects on this site insisting I register for a service which could readily link my fringe interedts with the Facebook I don't have, and therefor my credit score and the browsing habits of everyone in the direct vicinity of my IP. I have tried free proxies and realized they are all blocked from this site, which amounts to what I understand to be lesws than an astonishing coincidence. The insistency on this site wanting users to join is somewhat troublesome. I know social media's tendencies to scatter "breadcrumbs" leave one with a somewhat messy bed, and have op[ted out out of sheer stubbornness, and wouldn't deter anyone from doing otherwise by any means. Is it really essential for this site to become some kind of place where upvotes and pines are a prerequisite act of civility? Couldn't donations take the place of the nagging redirect requesting an anonymous user to join a multitude of times? I mean, I sincerely get the point that the option is out there, and I would like to correct my spelling and grammatical errors from time to time, but come on, it would be foolish to blow my nonexistent cover, seeing as I am simply wearing the foil hat to appease the natives. I swear on my honor that I am neither a shill nor have any ulterior motives, I just wish this site to be a bit more user friendly if at all possible. so what would you like the site to do? Change everything becasue you are bothered its asking you to join? you do realize that all you have to do is say no dont you? or you can join and it will no longer ask you. or you just dont come to the site. thats three different options for you. you dont get a 4th |

I know the sale starts when the customer says no, but I like to keep the front page open and open a bunch of threads in new tabs. Seeing as I said "no, okay I'm fine" arbitrarily after I click on the first point of interest after accepting the TOS (all laws abiding in Jersey, the soverign nation that probably looks like a hat), it must be understood that I have already been ijnformed of the option and kno I can register by clicking on the top of the page. I thank you for contributing to this site, and assure you I would too if not for the nature of the beast. |

If there is no other way, I understand it is the will of the free market, which is tantamount to free speech, free press, and free hugs. It is what it is and as a best friend said once after observing hyperspace, "everything happens for a reason" I simply wish for the good shepherd to step forth and offer a reason. |

Some fix, that.

It is only a matter of which occurs first." -Goenka |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 66389075 United States 12/04/2015 09:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I see. Is this the "Puppy Bowl", then? The Puppy Bowl consists of a number of puppies playing in a model stadium ("Animal Planet Stadium") with no audience (but with canned audience cheering), minimal commentary, and instant replay shots. A "bowl cam" provides shots upwards through the transparent bottom of a special water bowl built into the stadium floor, with a wide-angle lens that allows viewers to watch the puppies drink water (and walk through it) up close.[2] Ten full-size digital cameras and five GoPro miniature digital cameras were used in 2014 to capture the action. These numbers include the hidden cameras in the water bowl and toys.[1] Quoting: wikipediaA human "referee" watches over the "action on the field." In the first few years of Puppy Bowl, this was a crew member randomly selected each year. Beginning in 2008, it was Animal Planet associate producer Andrew Schechter.[4][5] For the 2012 Puppy Bowl, Schechter was replaced by SportsNet New York and Beer Money! host Dan Schachner.[15] Schachner hosted the show again in 2013 and 2014.[1][11] Football terminology is often used by the announcer and referee to illustrate the puppies' behavior and actions. When a puppy drags one of the football-shaped toys into the end zone, a "puppy touchdown" is declared.[5] "Penalties" are issued for puppies relieving themselves on the field. Timeouts are called if the water bowl needs to be refilled, or if the puppies begin to fight (a behavior called "unnecessary rrruff-ness").[2] The show uses puns to mimic the rules of professional football, including paws interference (pass interference), rough sides (offsides), and dog-collar tackle (horse-collar tackle). Unique "penalties" called may also include howling, illegal bathing (playing in the water bowl), napping on the field, and premature watering of the lawn (urination).[1] |
