Sorry for the Northern Hemisphere bias in the poll, but we're getting to that time of year up here.

Coffee is the best beverage for all possible weather conditions. It is the perfect drink.

Winter tends to be when my coffees get milkier. Espresso is strictly a summer drink for me and in the winter I gravitate more towards mocha or cappuccino. Ultimate winter drink is chai latte, but only if I'm feeling energetic as it tends to make me sleepy otherwise ^_^;;

How is it that in a poll about things to drink there is no "drink more water, Clinton" option?

I could also ask how it is that in a WCDT we're over a dozen posts in and still haven't actually discussed the comic, but I know what this forum is like :D

Plot twist: that's the new queer relationship Jeph's been planning---Clinton & Elliot having been an elaborate ruse. Sven turns out to have never explored the possibility of being gay, but ends up enjoying himself---despite his sister's coercion---more than he's ever with girls---the frivolousness of that sex being retconned as his unattraction sublimate in an active libido.

If we are honest Sven sleeping around was annoyance at best on it's own. The true problem was his tendency to sleep with her friends and drag down those friendships relationships with him XD Sven sleeping with someone she doesn't know and could get her a discount would be a welcome change XD

One thing that Dora seems to have learned from owning her own business is that 'illegal' and 'unethical' are distinct concepts and that sometimes you need to take every inch that the law gives you just to keep your nose above the water-line.

I also suspect that Sven is about to find out that maybe only Hannelore is taking his own current personal dilemma seriously!

I put hot toddy/cider/wassail (or egg-nog etc) because that's the only time adults let me drink alcohol. They don't do it responsibly though, just giving me access to the whole lot, so I have to be extra careful to pace myself, which isn't as fun as just taking whatever small amount they allot me, but I guess it teaches me to pace myself. Doesn't work out so well for my sibling, though.

Anyway, what's that look on Hannelore's face... like she knows something, ashamed to hide from Sven. Does she know about the caterer? Who they are? Maybe she and Dora were discussing her and Tai's wedding earlier, and Hannelore said something that gave Dora the very idea? Spooky.

I'm not sure how to construe that remark about my user-photo. I'm also not sure how some putative stylistic unconventionality of a third party resource---my net-site---should affect the well functioning of these forums. How, for example, would removing all but my user-photo, from my site, change things? There'd certainly be no unconventional style there.

I sometimes see the Like button, but when I don’t, I assume it’s because the comment was unlikeable  :clairedoge:

I understand how May feels. It’s hard being the friend who everyone has to help, and it’s hard to get your head around the fact that everyone wants to help BECAUSE you’re a good friend.

I also like how this contrasts to Renee/ Brun... they don’t seem to have guilt and debt as dynamics in their relationship in the same way the main cast members do.

It's definitely slow in loading, lately, but I'm not sure it has to do with Marf's avatar. Lately, only about one in three attempts to even connect to the forums seems to succeed. Or maybe I just have bad timing.

What's the human healthcare situation in QC in the US? And is May aware of it?

I mean, the AIs have it infinitely easier than humans when it comes to bodies.

Kinda fucked up to ask for free body upgrades when humans can't afford treatments.

Snip

I can confirm that the like functionality only showed up for me after your image failed to load. Whether it should be true, it is. It also can't be displayed due to errors.

Anyway, more on topic, ethically AI bodies fall under healthcare for humans for pretty obvious reasons. One option would be like how student debts ideally work in Australia through HECS; The government gives a 0-interest loan for it, and garnishes your salary once you make above a certain income threshold, if you ever earn that much. Considering how important a quality body is to holding a job - disabled posters rise up! - that seems like the most obvious no-brainer solution.

Also, you know, reform literally everything to do with how we do criminal justice. That one's less no-brainer.

To me, the big tragedy is that May thinks she 'owes' people. It says a lot of bad things about modern society that it's hard to imagine an act of kindness being done to be an act of kindness instead of a forward payment for future considerations and service.

It's N.N. Marf's avatar fouling up the works. The "Like" button won't load until everything else loads, and his avatar is on some bizarre onion domain that won't load and will eventually time out.

I'm not sure how to construe that remark about my user-photo. I'm also not sure how some putative stylistic unconventionality of a third party resource---my net-site---should affect the well functioning of these forums.

Fine, I'll be more specific: Whatever site or file storage service you use is technically incompatible with this site. It is nothing about style and everything about incompatible coding and settings. Your link is irreversibly broken and is hurting other users of the forums. The only solution is to stop using your current location and find one that actually works with the forums. Trying to be cute or obtusely defensive about it just makes you come across in a bad light.

It doesn't seem to be an onion site now - I think the host just prevents deep linking to images from other domains. I can open it just fine in a new tab. It may also be that the image is too large, though I'd expect that to just result in a distorted avatar as it gets squashed into the space rather than none.

EDIT: Belay that. I was looking at MrNumbers's avatar, which fails to load but at least has the courtesy to fail quickly.

I'm 99.7% sure you use Chrome. Why? That picture does load properly. Only Chrome doesn't. Reason? It's embedded via HTTP on a site running over HTTPS. It's a Chrome thing.

It's N.N. Marf's avatar fouling up the works. The "Like" button won't load until everything else loads, and his avatar is on some bizarre onion domain that won't load and will eventually time out.
I'm not sure how to construe that remark about my user-photo. I'm also not sure how some putative stylistic unconventionality of a third party resource---my net-site---should affect the well functioning of these forums.
Fine, I'll be more specific: Whatever site or file storage service you use is technically incompatible with this site. It is nothing about style and everything about incompatible coding and settings. Your link is irreversibly broken and is hurting other users of the forums. The only solution is to stop using your current location and find one that actually works with the forums. Trying to be cute or obtusely defensive about it just makes you come across in a bad light.
Except it's not irreversibly broken. It loads fine, for me, and at least one other person. (Just so you know, what you're saying about be finding a different host, is like telling someone in a wheelchair, to find different crutches. Yeah, the stairs are crumbling from wheels hitting them day in and day out, because what's in the building, is more valuable to the person in the wheelchair, than cost of being jostled by getting someone to drag the wheelchair up each step. The proper solution should be plan renovations that would make the building more accessible, maybe installing a ramp meanwhile---maybe don't blame the person in the wheelchair.) There's nothing obtuse about requesting elucidation about an opaque statement that could be construed as blaming, without further elucidation, one person for another's difficulty. Thank you cybersmurf, for at least something maybe helpful.

Nope, Firefox here.

Not to repeat the discussion:

I suppose one might try looking through [url=http://mmhak3fquhmd3fnaplgvgcq5yxefhhv3h53m6p6ckiblau675f6milyd.onion/#QCC]my net-site[/url], maybe through a `Tor2Web' gateway e.g. onion.ly;

It could still be something in the forum software, as your link is missing the ".ly" after "onion" which is what I saw happen to the url of your avatar when I looked into it.  It's easily avoided by not using onion.ly, I suppose - but maybe you have some reason to suppose that linking images from QC is a major security problem for you.

The avatar issue is more easily fixed by simply uploading the image to the forum instead of linking to it.

Easiest fix is suggested.

Maybe that's easiest for you. Don't assume it's easiest for me.

Yup, you're right. Switching to Firefox will get me MrNumbers's avatar just fine, as does enabling insecure content on this site. N.N. Marf's is still broken either way.
