Here's what's happening here. The comment this is about was posted in a format that works in Dark Mode, with the text in white rather than in a text colour that adjusts with the settings. In the default light mode that's white text on a white background, not the easiest thing to read. If you paste something into a post there will usually be a note about it being in rich text format, with the option to convert it to plain text mode. That will post in a way that adjusts to suit the settings being used. It may also remove some other formatting. If you're reading something, you can't change the way it was posted. Instead, if you see weird text colours that are hard to read, or the post seems to be blank, try switching to dark mode. At the top of the page there's a row of icons for notifications, private message and some others. At the right end there are two (this is in dark mode) The light globe here is to change to light mode, if you're in light mode it will be a little crescent moon. Clicking that changes modes. (The other one in the image allows you to customise your view palette.)

I can't answer the specific question about browsing while not logged in, but it stands to reason you are anonymous. As a general comment, however, the view count records every visit to a profile, what the privacy function disabless the pushed notification that a specific user has viewed it, and their 'Who Viewed Me' list holds that name for a month before it drops off.

Gentlemen, this thread was recently revived after a full year of dormancy with a post that was off topic but sought to comment on the tone of earlier posts here. The moderators have reviewed comments since then, noting that although some continued to address the topic, many pursued tangents relating to sex and the advertising industry unrelated to the case at hand. We've hidden a number of them, and are considering what if any further action needs to be taken.

The person who blocks someone can always unblock them. Whether they want to or will is a separate question. If it's a case of 'he's dead to me' they probably won't, if it's 'he's annoying right now (or overstepped)' then they might. As has been said here frequently, you can stop your frequent visits to an escort's ad being visible to them quite simply. Go to your RM dashboard and select 'Do not track me' in the privacy section.

I may have posted this before, if so I'm sorry. Well, only a little bit.

And no doubt you have one to give in return?

Hobart, mid 1960s.

Gentlemen, the conversation has drifted away, again, from the merits of the escort in question to the merits of each others' opinions. Please drift back. Sharply. Stick to the gentleman concerned.

I've heard a Dane make the Dutch comment about an Australian in Copenhagen who was learning Danish.

I have lived in the orange state and otherwise stayed longest in one of the black states. I have, for varying periods visited states in most if not all colour groups. The map is simultaneously both amazing accurate and disturbingly misleading. It probably warrants a warning, 'This is not professional travel advice, before travelling seek advice from a professional travel planner as to whether the suggestions herein are appropriate for your own personal circumstances.'

In 1961 a young student started a history degree at California State University in Los Angeles. Two years in, another opportunity came up so she deferred her studies to take that opportunity. Most reading this will be remember that alternative career, one of considerable consequence. Last week, at 82, Billie Jean King graduated with her history degree. Perhaps one of the longest undergraduate careers around. Here's one article about it, but I know it's been reported more widely if there is a paywall you can't penetrate. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7302506/2026/05/23/billie-jean-king-college-diploma-graduation/ There's inspiration there for many of us who may have lacked it.

There was only one person on our one and two cent coins, and that same person was on all our coins, so removing two of the coins conveyed no perceived slight. All coins, save the two dollars, have fauna or a symbol on the other side. The two dollar coin has an unidentified person, a representation not an individual. As for that one person on them all, she was replaced after 2022 with another individual, also on all the coin denominations.

This is Australia too. Stopped making 1 and 2 cent coins in 1988, the cost of the copper in them was more than their face value, and they were withdrawn from circulation in 1992. Same rounding for cash sales and exact amount for cards or electronic (or cheques while they last). New Zealand went further, a complete reissue of new coins, 10 cents is the lowest value and is a copper coin. In both our countries, $5 is the lowest value bank note, and we have one and two dollar coins. And yes, I know about loonies and toonies.

This looks like one of the stations on the south-east line in Melbourne between South Yarra and Caulfield.

I had been about to make a smartarse remark about the apparent irony of 'David Copperfield' and 'disappearing' in the same sentence. So it appears that I had just been seeing what you did there.

Most dangerous city in the world. That wind can blow you off your feet.

Apparently that is the standard Canadian spelling of words like 'homogenized'. Unless you meant in 'uze', in which case they probably would not.

These have been turning up in my Facebook feed for a few days now, but this one seems particularly apposite for the forum.

Indeed he might.

If a foursome is out of the question, perhaps Stableford or four ball best ball?

Although this is a common Latin maxim, it is perhaps not common enough, despite its concise elegance, to be an exception to our English only guideline, without an accompanying English version. By way of explanation, its meaning is "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes" (literally: "about tastes, it is not to be disputed"). An equivalent English proverb is that "There is no accounting for tastes" or "taste". A similar expression in French is: à chacun son goût ("to each their own taste").

That doesn't look like New Brunswick weather!

This reminds me of a similar epigram, that if it's a choice between a conspiracy and a cock-up, it'll be a cock-up 99% of the time. Or perhaps it's the same epigram.
