I turned off avatars and it has completely changed CP. it’s so much cleaner and those obnoxiously sized avatars aren’t distracting anymore. It also makes it feel more anonymous because I have to look at every username to see who posted.

I have Ublock, so I just right click and block any irritating ones. I like the quick glance to see who posted.

Then how do you pre-judge the content of the post without knowing who the poster is?

I do the exact same thing. Like them in general but there's been a few I could do without

You can just come out and say it is all of Zamler's avatars.

It annoys me that Muta and mrdonkey are both using that monstrous AI generated Oilers mascot as their avatars.

I don't think people should be allowed to change their avatars. You pick once, that's it, you live with it.

Now that it's summer again and the warm weather has returned, I'm being reminded how summer dresses are my kryptonite.

I'm pretty sure a nice persuasive lady in a sun dress could convince me to commit heinous crimes for her, a la Kim Basinger to Garth in Wayne's World 2.

I vote for it to be replaced by a rainbow practice jersey.

Funny thing, I accidentally saved over my original avatar photoshop file that I had all my flair as layers. So now I just have a flat png that would be a pain to edit, and I'm also lazy.


I figure the next pandemic is right around the corner, so I'll be back in style in no time.

Nah. Next pandemic won't be until we've forgotten all the lessons from this one.

Pfft....that could be any moment. How many people actually learned lessons from this pandemic?

Are we making our own vaccines? PPE? Adapting our Hospitals or medical strategies?

Noooope. We're already pretending like it never happened.

I wasn't sure where to post this, so the random thoughts thread seemed like the place. Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles looks pretty good for being 64 years old. I realize that she certainly dies her hair and likely had plastic surgery or something, but she looks pretty natural. This video was from 6 months ago.



It almost doesn't seem possible. Google photos of her. She is completely age defying.
