Redundant emails

I've been getting emails from some of my contacts that send newsletters and such and they're coming with the message;
"Trouble viewing this email? Try the online version."
Isn't that redundant? I'm already online, or I'd not be viewing my emails. Unless there's a whole page dedicated to that particular email, which leads me to believe all mass produced emails with accompanying pages should just email links. Brief, simple, not a redundant email/webpage. I don't find it useful at all. Hell, I hardly read any of the newsletters anymore anyway.

 

Not necessarily, an email client might store your mails for later view - for example when you do not have internet access.

Also, I recommend RSS feeds instead of emails for news, webcomics and whatever you use to read regularly, they are much more manageable and flexible.

I spend most of my time in GD. I read all active threads, though, just in case I have input.

 

Yes I do. But there's something crazy going on called Agenda 21, signed off in 1992 by some 178 countries. It's a fascist collective that wants to collect people in concentrated population zones, as a solution for sustainable life on the planet in the 21st century. People will live in tiny stacked apartments, complete nullity of freedoms and privacy.
Surprise, surprise, our first Bush signed off on it, and now it's going to start happening.
Should I be scared?
But seriously I was having the hardest time getting my character into Arcanum. I wanted to put myself in the game. I figured it was as easy as finding an acceptable giant lizard, giving it dialogue, giving it a leveling scheme, designing a map for the inspired dialogue, and presenting Grossenschwamm as a party member. I wanted to make it so in depth, like have a story along with it, but I got frustrated because my additions to the appropriate .mes never showed up in the world editor.

 

Do you know how your posts are going to end when you start writing them?

 

It's always a relief to learn I'm not the only one confused.

 

?? Stop browsing conspiracy theory websites. Sounds like the crap about the Amero and North American Union.

 

Apparently my cut-and-paste word replacement joke post was lost on most of you.

 

You can't expect everyone to get everything you say. It's something I've learned by posting here, though it may or may not affect others of the forum.
I thought it was funny, but thought you did it to make fun of my post because it was really that bad.

 

I didn't actually read it...

I think you're up to more than 7 incarnations now HWLFP. 'Dead Bill XVII' would probable be closer to the truth.

 

I just yawned.

 

*Yawn*

...bloody things are contagious.

 

Ooh, I don't like the sounds of this Agenda 21.
Should I be scared too?

Nah, I'm sure they'll let us social misfits run wild, to form roaming bands of hunter-gatherer computer-nerds.

Also, I'd like to be the first to welcome our fascist overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a local celebrity I can help recruit others to labour in their underground sugar mines.

PS- I'm not mocking you about agenda 21, grossenschwamm, I actually buy it. It is the way of the future, from a human perspective. However, the scale of the planet and its population is going to make it a very, very long, difficult process, (much longer than you or I are likely to live) and there's a little thing called Natural Law which will definitely make it fail in the long term: Human Nature is one obstacle, the dynamics of Viral Mutation is nother. Finally, old bean, 'they', if they exist, are going to start on the third world and leave your Bill of Rights for dessert, maybe next century. How scared should you be? Not at all, of course.

 

They've got a plan to reduce the world's population to around 500 million people. That's something they can do quite rapidly but genetically modifying foods to produce allergens, killing probably 2 billion of the people on the planet. The remaining population will be killed by preventable diseases caused by the allergen producing foods. This was when we were still at 6 billion people worldwide. Who knows what changes have gone into the plan. True, I may never see these plans come into action, but isn't it still a looming concern? There has to be a better way to help the planet than by stealing a generation of children and brainwashing them under fascist ideals, a "priority nature" philosophy and a reduction of all math education;
Supposedly, since all mathematical equations' answers arrive due to consensus, we could arrive at a different consensus and completely invalidate the old, i.e. 2+2=5.

 

Natural Law runs deeper than any scheme; DNA and peoples' brains are full of tricks which these conspirators can't hope to control. There will always be chaos and balance, and always fearful old politicians doing their damnedest to take over the world.

Sure, conspiracy X may fuck up the world by a factor of N, but Y worry?

 

Sounds like the environmentalist agenda, though 500 million is still to many for those anti-life nazi's. But in all seriousness, you need to stay away from conspiracy theory sites. 'Agenda 21' is fake. No government in the world would be able to get away with that, not even in a coalition with other governments.

Two plus two equals five only for very large values of two.

 

I guess the UN's own website is a conspiracy theory then. I just can't believe 178 nations signed off on this in 1992.

 

A quick skim through doesn't show anything about reducing the world to just 500 million people. But I'll read all 40 chapters when I have more time.

Admittedly, it's a youtube video, so there's your credibility, but that's where I got my post idea.
