That viral bullshit always does them dirty.

Years ago, I needed to enter some information on wikipedia. To prove that I was not a robot, I needed to type the captcha text.

The text itself was entertaining, so I added it to an images folder, and continually asked to see additional ones, saving the ones I liked.

I imagined that these were glimpses of a not too distant future, in which all news and information dispersal not subject to a subscription fee is limited to chunks of 16 typed characters or less, and spelling isn't universal. The irony would be that people in that era would have no problem reading it, but not everyone would understand it in the same way, just like now.

What does any of that have to do with the infographic?
 
I thought of a marketing campaign to attempt to get people to start going to church again on Sunday mornings. The guy with his shirt collar on backwards who rubs people's noses in it would be joined by a co-host, for the part at the end where they serve the snacks. A bottle of hot sauce or a nacho cheese dispenser might go along way towards giving those cookies some 'bite'. They probably still taste like cardboard, like when I was a kid, and they stuck to the roof of my mouth.

The co-host might wear colourful clothing, while wearing a t-shirt with this slogan:

Jesus says: Eat me!

Foreshadowing (wikipedia)

I'm on my gaming computer, and the captchas are on another machine underneath this one. By infographic, I'm assuming that you mean the penis size by country image I posted on the previous page.

This post relates to that.

Some Escorts exclude specific groups from their clientele. They should take a page from the CNE handbook, and put a sign on the door of their incall stating "You must be THIS long to enter". A girth chart would be more difficult to judge with a pair of eyes.

Your behaviour of late has been disruptive. A visit to the school nurse may be scheduled in the near future. She has been pre-authorized by Dr Quaq to prescribed Ritalin to young boys who exhibit behaviour deemed inappropriate by the advisory board.

Repeatedly posting the viral bullshit doesn't make it true.
But that still doesn't answer what any of the captcha stuff has to do with it.
Since you like "jokes", I thought maybe this was supposed to be humorous, but it seems you are just stream of consciousness posting because your gaming computer is in front of you?

I really think you might need to look into these delusions of grandeur you seem to be suffering recently.
You managed to get the General TV Trivia thread back running, why are you trying to derail it again?
 
@Valcazar: If I see the need to add you to my Ignore list, I won't make an example of you, and that's a promise. Do take note, however that you would also be excluded from my vision in the trivia threads, so you would not be credited with any addition correct answers. Effectively your microphone would be muted, and your voice would not be heard. I don't like reading about politics on boards. I don't enjoy debating politics on boards. I do, however, enjoy playing politics in real life. As Don Lucchesi said to Vincent in The Godfather Part III, "Do you understand guns? Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull that trigger.". That is not in any way a threat of any kind. It's merely a movie quote, with wise words.

Some of the questions you ask are the same type of questions a cop would ask, when the cop thinks he's smarter than the person being questioned. You are a formidable opponent in debate, I grant you that. But you've been told before that I don't want to debate right now. I have more important things to do than feed your need to display passive aggression by being the self appointed white knight champion for all persons on the Left. I'm neither on the Right, nor on the Left, but I oppose the Left because they oppose me. One such battle will be decided some time this week. It doesn't involve any member of this board. If you want to debate, I expect to have my manoeuvres completed by the end of this year. I'll be more than happy to lock horns with you in the new year if you can hold your water that long.

I will explain this one last time. I have no obligation to explain my posts to YOU. If you don't understand them, that's not my problem. Either scroll past them, or read them later, when you know more. They were not meant for you at this time. Perhaps they never will be. I just write. Comprehension is someone else' job.

I don't write posts intended for the benefit of everyone, all of the time. Anyone can read them if they want to, Anyone can scroll past, if they want to read something else. Stating one's opinions is still a right, most of the time. Having those opinions be recognized by others is a privilege which can be withdrawn at any time. That applies to everyone, not just you, and not just me.
 
@Valcazar: perhaps you think that we're trolling each other. That isn't the case. You're trolling me, and you know it, but you don't have the stones to admit it. I am being condescending towards you, as is my right as an older male, and as a deliberate act of disrespect, because you refuse to admit the truth, because of your pride. The act of public shaming is the primary purpose of church. It's constructive criticism, but not directed at one person, but at the entire congregation. They admit to themselves that they have done wrong, but they are spared the indignity of having to say it out loud. There is wisdom to be found in the words of Major Briggs, (Don Davis), in a Twin Peaks episode. He says, (not necessarily an exact quote), Achievement is it's own reward. Pride obscures it. This is a quote from wikipedia:

Pride is known as hubris (from the Ancient Greek ὕβρις) or futility; it is considered the original and worst of the seven deadly sins—the most demonic—on almost every list. Pride is also thought to be the source of the other capital sins. Pride is viewed as the opposite of humility.

While I also oppose many of the subtexts of Christianity, I oppose the Left because the Left sees most or all of the cardinal vices, ( wrath, greed, pride, envy, sloth, lust, and gluttony. ), as virtuous, based on the fundamental misconception that behavior which is common can be justified as being normal and it receives approval because those people have been told that, and while it isn't true, it forms their belief system essentially based on self love. The 'god' of the left is essentially Narcissus.. Lust I'm OK with, or I wouldn't be here.

@ mods, this is my last word on the subject, outside of politics. Valcazar will not defend his position because he is aware of the potential consequences of so doing. He's also absolved of having to explain his passive aggression in General TV Trivia by having had his nose rubbed in it, in public. We're done, and I can go to bed now.

That, my friend, is politics, and why I am a Grandmaster in RISK on Steam.

There is another.jpg

This restaurant is near the corner of Bloor West and Spadina, south side of Bloor, just west of the intersection.

I tried to point out the 'Chick Warp' on the sign, but all of the passersby were wearing ear buds or glued to their phones.

The sign has been there, unchanged, for at least a year. Possibly the owners know about it, but don't fix it, like "The Goof" on Queen East close to Victoria Park Avenue.

That was my neigbbourhood in the 1960's, but I likely wouldn't recognize it now. The grocery store further east still had the horse ride for a quarter the last time I was down that way, 30ish years ago. When I was a kid, stay at home moms would often bring the very young children to the grocery store. The kid would sit in the front cage. The rule usually was that if they behaved themselves, mommy would let them ride on the mechanical horse at the end. They would be deprived of the ride if they 'acted up'.

The horse is probably gone now, or the grocery store is a weed dispensary. If the grocery store is still there, it 's likely part of a chain, rather than an 'Indy'. It's decades since I've seen a kid riding in the front cage of a grocery cart. Grocery carts don't have seat belts, and he'd be required by management to wear a helmet.
 
@Valcazar: If I see the need to add you to my Ignore list, I won't make an example of you, and that's a promise.

How the fuck would you "make an example of me"?
This is an escort board.
There is nothing to make an example of.

Do take note, however that you would also be excluded from my vision in the trivia threads, so you would not be credited with any addition correct answers.

Why would I care?
I post in trivia threads because it is fun for me, not to earn points. (I don't think anyone is posting in the trivia threads to earn points, but obviously could be wrong.)

Some of the questions you ask are the same type of questions a cop would ask, when the cop thinks he's smarter than the person being questioned.

Believe me.
I am not a cop.
Actually, if you did read the politics section, you would know how funny that statement is.

You are a formidable opponent in debate, I grant you that. But you've been told before that I don't want to debate right now.

No one has asked you to debate anything.

I have more important things to do than feed your need to display passive aggression by being the self appointed white knight champion for all persons on the Left. I'm neither on the Right, nor on the Left, but I oppose the Left because they oppose me.

For someone who doesn't want to debate or to talk politics, why are you bringing politics into this?
I commented on an famously wrong infographic.
Politics have nothing to do with that.

One such battle will be decided some time this week. It doesn't involve any member of this board. If you want to debate, I expect to have my manoeuvres completed by the end of this year. I'll be more than happy to lock horns with you in the new year if you can hold your water that long.

Why would I want to "lock horns" with you?

I will explain this one last time. I have no obligation to explain my posts to YOU. If you don't understand them, that's not my problem. Either scroll past them, or read them later, when you know more. They were not meant for you at this time. Perhaps they never will be. I just write. Comprehension is someone else' job.

Of course you don't.
No one has any obligation to participate on this board in any way.
At least you aren't LaRue, who seems to think he gets to dictate how people answer his posts. (Even if you did go on a whole rant about demanding links and requiring I do my homework and other nonsensical bullshit.)
You are free to ignore me at any time. Lots of people here do.
I ignore people all the time.

I don't write posts intended for the benefit of everyone, all of the time. Anyone can read them if they want to, Anyone can scroll past, if they want to read something else. Stating one's opinions is still a right, most of the time. Having those opinions be recognized by others is a privilege which can be withdrawn at any time.

Thanks, Captain obvious.
 
@Valcazar: perhaps you think that we're trolling each other.

No.
I'm not trolling you.
I'd like to think you're not trolling me, but it's hard to say.
Your recent posts seem to just indicate this is just the way you post and there isn't some weird "I will get a reaction out of him" motivation actually going on here.

I am being condescending towards you, as is my right as an older male, and as a deliberate act of disrespect, because you refuse to admit the truth, because of your pride.

See, some would consider that trolling, but condescension (no matter how misplaced) isn't trolling in my view.
I'm old school that way.

The act of public shaming is the primary purpose of church.

For someone who doesn't like to debate, you do enjoy making oddly political pronouncements that seem to invite debate.

While I also oppose many of the subtexts of Christianity, I oppose the Left because the Left sees most or all of the cardinal vices, ( wrath, greed, pride, envy, sloth, lust, and gluttony. ), as virtuous, based on the fundamental misconception that behavior which is common can be justified as being normal and it receives approval because those people have been told that, and while it isn't true, it forms their belief system essentially based on self love.

Why do you think the mods have any interest in your pronouncements? (Well, you've claimed it is politics, so maybe you're "in" with the mods?)

If this grand pronouncement of yours means you are going to just go back to trying to tell jokes then... yay?


EDIT -- Sorry.
What "position" am I supposed to be defending here? (The one I am afraid to do so due to the "potential consequences"?)

Something older men 'just know' and many young men learn the hard way: Pretty much the worst possible place to try to meet attractive young women would be at a walk-in medical clinic.

One one hand, you'll see how she dresses during daylight, and you can get some idea of her personality or intelligence by what she says and how she interacts when she speaks to the reception staff. You might even overhear her saying her phone number, and you could glean all of this information without saying a word, or spending a dime.

The reason why the young man shouldn't do this is because there's a greater possibility that she's seeking medications related to an STI. She may be going to the walk-in clinic to discuss the matter with a doctor who's never met her before, and might never meet her again. She wouldn't want to discuss such matters with a family doctor who may have known her since before puberty, and also might have been a guest in her parents' home.

One of my buddies from way back is a divorced Jewish man named Steve. In the 90's, he was always the host for the Tuesday night poker game.

About 30 years ago, Steve bought his first coton de tulear* dog,

*(Caw-tone de two-lee-ay)

and named him Marcel. He meets women while walking his dog. Steve said that this particular dog breed is 'irresistible to Jewish divorcees'. When the dog dies, he gets another one, and names it Marcel.
 
@Valcazar: You wrote a lot on this page of this thread that I'm not going to read. It WAS in this thread, however, which conforms to my terms stated in #2.927.

I've already mentioned that I'll be very busy for the rest of the calendar year 2026. I'll still be posting here, updating question posts in trivia, etc, but I'll have no time to explain things to you when you 'don't get it'. Nothing prevents you from holding your water for a few weeks before requesting clarification or offering unsolicited counter opinions, I just don't want that now.

If you ignore this directive, I'll be obliged to place you temporarily on my Ignore list, but only until December 31, 2026. Whether or not it actually is your motive, your verbal interplays are a distraction to me at a time when I need to be focused on more important things.

I have spoken.
