There are always these 2 lurking in the shadows

You can also use the likes of uBlock Origin to ensure that you never see them again.

Would you like to know more?

I’ve posted this information before but it was removed without any warning. I guess it’s either forbidden knowledge, or someone didn’t like the thought of being permanently ignored and reported my previous posts.

Please continue

Did I mention that this is forbidden knowledge? It may corrupt you more than N’zoth and may summon any number of Things from Beyond!

Get on with it, Bauldie!

Okay, you’ll need:

  • A web browser with a content blocker that will accept user-defined filters.
    • My personal preference is Firefox with uBlock Origin as it works on both desktop and mobile (Android).
  • The ability to view the HTML source of the forums.
  • The filter line, shown below, which should work with all content blockers (no guarantees though).

[eu.forums.blizzard.com##article[data-user-id=](http://eu.forums.blizzard.com##article[data-user-id=)"xxxxxx"]

Every character on the forums has a unique ‘data-user-id’. Find that in the HTML code of the page, pop it into the filter above (replace ‘xxxxxx’), and you’ll never see posts from that character again (unless someone else quotes them).

Rooster Fighting does give us some ancient Brit Phrases though, (Though obviously is rightly banned for animal Cruelty reasons, such as to be ‘Game’ for something, but we also get the phrases ‘To Turn Tail’ and ‘To show a clean pair of heels’ (as unscrupulous owners would sometimes affix metal barbs to a rooster’s back legs to assist them in fights, so a ‘clean pair of heels’ originally meant that someone was playing fair and lost fair and square). I think for a time Rooster fights were also known as “The Sport of Kings” which later got adopted by Horse Racing (as by then only the very rich could afford to frivolously risk horses in such a way)

As for forums, people often forget what they are, I would rather see a longer, well reasoned, civil and on topic response, than someone just using Twitch speak to think they are making a valuable contribution to a conversation. Also this bizarre fad people have for thinking that lengthy responses somehow mean someone is ‘mad’ about something. Lots of words are not scary. Shakespeare wasn’t ‘mad’ about things that happened a thousand years prior to his birth, nor was Homer mad about the Siege of Troy, I mean, by definition, he quite famously did not -see- it. Tolstoy wasn’t angry with apoplectic rage about the Napoleonic Wars and Richard Adams was not incandescent with fury with rabbits when he wrote Watership Down, he was just telling a story to his kids on a car journey.

It always confuses me when the younger generations confuse lots of words with heated emotions, especially since they’re supposed to be good with tech and know that this is not those dark days of mobile phones where you got charged per letter in a text, but can actually use words ‘U no’

Eesh…

Yes I was very bad the other night and very ashamed of myself but after speaking to a very nice priest I feel a lot better to handle things going forward .

Typo? Or do you intend to do out like Scarface, but with statues instead of a machine gun?

You say that like it is a bad thing…

“Say Hello to my leetle friends!”

Glares at statues

“Ah heck, I thought it would be more impressive than that, they actually -are- just statues, not Golems…damn”

I think, “Say, ‘Hello!’ to my tiny friend!” may be more appropriate here.

Although… cokd hands… Oh the possibilities…

Not going to lie, when I wake up and get bored, make my cuppa tea (A pint of tea of course!) and trot to my PC, That is kind of my strut, like Tiny Tina.

I don’t even know the context, but the gif you linked told me all I need to know!

Tiny Tina is an NPC from the Borderlands games 2 and 3. She is an orphan who escaped from the “scientific” labs of Hyperion Corp under Handsome Jack. Her parents died. She is certified insane, and in BL2 she enlisted your help in getting her revenge on Jack.

She appears again 3 this time aged by about ten years and nominated herself leader of the trio involving her, Brick and Mordecai renaming the outpost they take over Boomtown.

Still insane, as Wainright Jakobs puts it, nuttier than squirrel s+++ she still has a fascination for bombs, especially as in explosive pizzas.

In the forum context there is a gif Sinaaki uses of a popcorn munching girl who turns to the canera with a wild eyed look of pleasure. Soon as I saw it, it just yelled Tina at me so its been kind of running joke with me. I even bought a Tiny Tina figurine and posted a video on youtube to share here to keep the gag running.

When I respond to threads and posts, it may come as surprise to most people that I do not particularly look the posters name I respond to and I respond directly to posts.

Only, when there starts a separate discussion that goes further I start keeping track of person I am having the chat with. But original generic responds to OP’s posts in given threads I do not respond to OP’s name, but directly to thought posted.
