How to multiquote with ease.
New inner bracket of quote: Ctrl+]

New outer bracket of quote (undoes a bracket of quotation without forcing to delete the rest within layer-wise): Ctrl+[

Highlight text in the quote to only have it enacted on that.

Honestly, I agree with you here Stephen. How the fuck is he worse than Reagan or Nixon?

Oh, I guess we disagree there. ;)

Not to mention daddy and son Bush, Bush Jr. was pitiful on every level.

As for Dems, I'd put Trump above a couple of Dems, won't specify which and no not above Obama or even Bill Clinton.

@Outplayz
I find briggs test gives you what you wish you are whereas this one lets you fake it a lot less. You are definitely an in betweener who is more extroverted by nature, I can tell from your forum persona. You are free to hate the test of course, what do you think it got wrong on the other results?

I don't care if this 'belongs' in the Personal Forum. Clearly the culture of this site lets you post anything as long as DA members are involved, on the DA Forum Subsection. Look how Thett3 got to post propaganda for Andrew Yang for a while here, just because enough members wanted the Meme.

Tell your results. Note, this quiz won't work if you're a blind person using your computer via hearing text read out, it is a visual quiz.

It is very long, it can glitch at times but based on the fact that when it glitched, it refreshed correctly via cookies this means that you should think hard before you answer despite the pleasantly fast 'click a pic' means of the quiz. It's possible this is being used by powers that be to garner data on us, I consented to that as I am happy for them to know what a great guy I am.


Please post your results here, we can discuss and analyse one another, feel free to focus on me first.

Better, the chick is fucking elegant and zen yet you know shell slice you in half. I love it to pieces but I'm not in a fighting mode on the site at present so it won't suit my current persona. The third pic is too severe for me.

The guy facing away thing isn't my style. I stare my opponent in the face.

You either need to edit or pick better.

All were visually unappealing to me. The woman image is not at all my kind of thing.

You get credit for the first image on the first link being my kind of thing but again, not the kind of image of that character that would be my style (lack of colour/lighting too severe for starters).


You can now get another glimpse of the feel I want the image to have:

1) What do you like? Depends on the context. Some are not entirely appropriate to type (taboo fantasies etc) and some are too bland to bother typing (Oxygen, Mango juice).
2) What specifically do you like about it? I like things that make me feel like a powerful man that no one will fuck with but also an elegant woman that everyone adores and desires.
3) Do you want it to be bright or dark? Brighter with dark theme to the image. The opposite is pleasant but isn't my thing.
4) Anything more you want to say? I would like you to take note that Supadudz's success rate with images was only you and n8nrgmi and that you and him both ended up giving up to my images. I also want to say that if you choose wrong, you will forever be punished by me but not in a physical or mod way (to cover my ass with CoC).

I also will like to leave you a song that I want the image to feel like.

@TheRealNihilist
The image you currently have doesn't have any, do you mean the outer square?

If on Pixlr save the image to your Drive and upload it to Paint, if not then Copy Paste to Paint.

I don't support Mac or give a damn how to help you there, as for Linux you'll find a Linux variants, version of Paint somewhere for sure.

Anyway, to answer your question the easiest Windows solution is paste it to Paint, very careful use ctrl+A and shift it to the maximal Left and Up possible (but to not push it past unless you wish to crop that out of the image, you can't Undo it without undoing all the cropping after) and slide vertically and horizontally (avoid diagonally which lets you do both at once and punishes weak dexterity) very very carefully ensuring you have eliminated the white parts.

After this, ensure everything is almost as proportional as you could want it without making it disproportionate. To help, look at Resize-Pixels and see if it's wider or taller. Once it's as proportionate as you want, untick 'constrain proportions' or whatever is under the Pixels section for you and alter the higher pixel number (whether vertical or horizontal) to be identical to the lower one. This image is a perfect square with no white gaps, guaranteed.

Cropping with Pixlr is inherently glitchy on their free version, I would not be surprised if they intentionally make it so awkward. If I made a living from this, I'd almost definitely have the paid version of it, I love how it balances simplicity with complexity so well.

Current Stats:

Imabench; non-edited-well, satisfied with choice and not asking for more here.

Blamonkey; satisfied, both times replacing former with latter reluctantly even.

Castin and spacetime: Flash and trash the image, but castin even edited hers on her own via cropping mainly and spacetime seemed to alter it due to grudge against me.

Omar; severely dissatisfied, rogue agent who helped the RM Profile Pic Cult unwittingly by bringing drama to both my and Supa's thread, increasing publicity and thus the sheer quality of my images and perserverence enabled me to garner more users. Omar ended up being a humble supporter of the RM Profile Pic cult as time went on.

Greyparrot was as instant a hit as bench, blamonkey, castin and spacetime were.

Now we have the ones giving positive feedback but who don't take the image. This happened back on the original thread months back (where my skills here were less honed): https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/110.

What is clear is that some people like things they don't want as images and the feedback is variable.

Supadudz and Omar are two examples of me interpreting feedback accurately. Blamonkey needed feedback to his feedback to seal the deal.

Outplayz, SamStevens and EtrnlVw are a work in progress, it is clear to me that all three don't directly appreciate what is necessarily 'nice' but also loathe what is 'ooh dear not this' so it's very strong opinions but wanting a very unusual image for all three. 

This lumps them in with MrMaestro and Swagnarok in the group who are dissatisfied customer but who seem not too disgruntled to overtly complain.

This has been a good psychological analysis of people linked with photos and I will be sure to adapt my reading abilities based on images people use and like back to their personality by reverse engineering this in the future. Thanks for this, the vending machine is perhaps going to work slower from now on but not necessarily classified Out of Order.

Peace out, enjoy your membership of the RMPPC if you made it in by surrendering to the beauty of his work.

Omar, your image has a pixel-line of white on the top and bottom that is quite thick and a line of black on the right due to something I didn't notice when making it, it's fixed here:

Come up with stuff you know a lot about or stuff you know many disagree with and is easy to win against the popular view on.

Making debates is far harder than accepting them. You will rarely find debates where yoru side is blatantly right where you don't develop a reputation on the site for being a coward who baits noobs. I am not sure how to avoid that reputation other than to be an accept-heavy noob and medium-debater sniper like me as at least then the noobs put up a fight as they wanted the topic and knew something about it in the first place.

Make sure you know if you debate to win or to have fun, when the two mix you need to know which is the higher priority.
