RIP Tinypic. Also, imgur required me to input my phone number i'm like heck NO!

https://i.postimg.cc/zvS2wSh6/trainercard-Kris.png

Does this work? Yes I know it's the same as my siggy as of now, but i'm testing it here anyway.

EDIT: Brb, changing siggy. Found a better banner for the trainer card. Lol.

EDIT 2: Ok i'll mess with my sig tomorrow lol.

bobandbill September 24th, 2019 8:02 AM

I used to use photobucket but they screwed me over (even before the thing a year or two back). Most lame.

colours September 24th, 2019 9:05 AM

does imgur really require you to put your phone number anywhere? i honestly don't remember that anywhere in the sign-up process.

bobandbill September 24th, 2019 9:07 AM

Not that I recall...

Sami September 24th, 2019 9:08 AM

It actually does, I just checked it, it's even mandatory

How does this affect my previously created account?
Phone verification will only affect newly created Imgur accounts. Accounts created before June 2019 are not required to add a phone number to continue using Imgur.
oh that's why I don't remember ever adding a phone number to my account.

https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028910652-Phone-Verification-

apparently it's secured enough though that not even imgur's own staff can see what it is so there's some level of security, there.

bobandbill September 24th, 2019 10:24 AM

Yeah, made mine at least a few years ago. Mystery solved!

I'm struggling to think what was the other image hostin-oh, I think it might have been imageshack? Not super sure though. All I know is photobucket and dropbox caused issues for my unfinish Telefang screenshot LP. >:[

Neon Pink September 24th, 2019 2:54 PM

It's not even my own art so i'm taking down this pic in my sig. If only I had a scanner. :(

Cid September 25th, 2019 5:31 AM

Would a scanner app for your phone do the trick? It's tough not having access to a scanner, yeah. :(

Neon Pink September 25th, 2019 9:35 AM

I have a flip phone now bbuuuttt I might get a smart phone next month depending on deals my mom can find...hopefully. Yeah, i'll most likely get a scanner app if I get a smart phone.

Sami September 25th, 2019 9:40 AM

flip phone holy hell thats some ancient technology

colours September 25th, 2019 9:42 AM

hey guys

remember blackberries? yeah those were the times.

Neon Pink September 25th, 2019 9:44 AM

It's not my fault. Mom doesn't trust me with a smart phone cause reasons beyond our control, but she's looking for deals right now soooooo let's hope she can find one.

do you know that folding phones are a thing now? like, they're in infancy, but a good 5 or 10 years from now they're probably going to be mainstream. wild as heck to think about. @[email protected]

I'm sure flip phones will make a triumphant return to the market soon.

Yeah, I am getting up there in age. Two years away from 30. Yikes.

Until I get a smart phone and a scanner app, you think taking a pic with the 3DS and uploading it to the image hosting site might work? I do have an SD cart slot on my chromebook...or at least I think I do. I'll check later as i'm on a school comp atm.

Yeah, that's something I used to do. Works fine.

Neon Pink September 26th, 2019 5:04 PM

Ugh. I made a very CRINGY video of my art, and it's not worth downloading a video converter for the sake of youtube cause CRINGE! -_-; My voice sounds like UGH! And my art is worse! For some odd reason some art shows up as jpg while others...m...something. Can't figure it out. So sorry Pokecommunity, but until my art improves I must be a mystery.

So...uh.....weather? Ah, and now i'm resorting to local weather talk. Idk really!

Sami September 27th, 2019 12:39 PM

my voice is literally one of the worst tbh

Caite-chan September 27th, 2019 4:32 PM

I absolutely HATE how I sound on the phone. I had called a friend one time and left a message and then later when we got back home she played it and I'm like OMG you delete that crap right now.

No worse feeling than when you miss a dose of your medicine. Oh well. I'm still not fully used to taking it. Once the routine is in my head for good, it'll never leave.

pkmin3033 September 27th, 2019 9:48 PM

I have a British accent devoid of all emotion and expression...which makes my voice either the best or worst thing ever, I guess.

Probably due in part because I don't sleep enough =x

Sami September 28th, 2019 12:10 AM

I dont think i even have an accent :x

pkmin3033 September 28th, 2019 3:29 AM

Everyone has an accent. You just can't hear your own...which I've always thought kinda weird.

Caite-chan September 28th, 2019 5:30 AM

We even have different accents depending on where you go in the US.

I'm not THAT posh! I don't vote Conservative and nor would I ever, for one thing. xD

...although I do have an RP accent, so I suppose that makes me posh by US standards ;-;

Well I guess we all have cringy voices then...I think?

Ugh. I have to go to my second house for the day. My parents are insisting on it but all I want to do is sleeeeeeep! I'm literally leaving in 5 minutes. Until then, i'll see if they have a computer there, and i'll be bring my 3ds so all is not lost.

all UK people to me are posh untill proven un-posh

You clearly have not been to certain parts of London. Or Blackpool. Or Portsmouth. Or Liverpool.

That's not an exhaustive list, btw. xD

Neon Pink September 29th, 2019 10:31 AM

So Ty, are you American? Me too, but I never visited the UK or any of Europe for that matter. I want to visit some day though.

My day/weekend was just...dandy *rolls eyes* Yesterday, I was bored at my second house. This morning, when I went to my band event, the event took place...at my old...super old...old old school. When the band director pointed at me and said "She used to go here!" Not awkward at all. Smh. But heeeyyyyy the band is going to ANOTHER school next week and I never been to that school so the awkwardness would be on someone else...maybe. xD

EDIT: JK JK I'd never wish awkwardness on anyone but now I will take a nap I am exhausted.

Okay taking a nap for real you guys. See you in four hours.

Sheep September 30th, 2019 2:50 AM

I've wanted to spend a few months or a year living in Japan for the loooongest time and it doesn't seem like that'll ever be possible now that I have new responsibilities aha. I had chances to go before, but chickened out. Definitely one of the things I'll have regrets about when I'm older.

Sami September 30th, 2019 3:00 AM

Do visit Europe and Japan, but stay out of the Netherlands... its evil

With some places just doing lots of smiling and making eye contact will get you far.. LOL if it's a typical retail job, anyhoo.

Basically started to only apply for IT jobs, then looked into other jobs in my hometown that seemed doable with my experience and certifications.

colours October 3rd, 2019 4:29 PM

i feel like personally, the more interviews that I do, the more confident that i get in them and the more i know what to do and what not to do, so i end up doing better and better in them, for the most part.

Cid October 4th, 2019 4:40 AM

Experience is key, huh? I should really take the hunt for part-time jobs more seriously. I can't be too comfortable with focusing on just uni, since I'm of the age when people typically earn the money they need for later.

pkmin3033 October 4th, 2019 5:23 AM

Your experience and qualifications might get you the interview, but your personality is what gets you the job. Employers look for people they think will be a good fit for the company - you're already expected to tick all the boxes for experience/qualifications. Make sure you've read the company profile, have questions to ask, are prepared to answer questions, etc. Also ask for feedback if you don't get the position.

Volunteering doesn't hurt either. I got my current job after volunteering for eight weeks. They decided they liked me, I'd learned how to use the system, and I was very interested. It was actually a full-time position that they let me have part-time. So yeah.
