Popeye tried this with Olive Oyl: [^].
«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE

...when Google now can't track my browsing habits and has no clue to what ads I always wanted to be shown. I just erased all cookies, in the hope of now being able to refresh CP without getting random settings which I never ever would use voluntarily.
Sometimes I get only 10 posts per page, and then it switches to 25. Or 50. Relaxed or tight layout, thread view or open all? All combinations are possible. And the best one: fixed or fluid layout (set at the bottom center of every page).
Is there no ViewState that remembers my settings? Why do I get seemingly random settings at about every other refresh?
This is probably some kind of discrimination against (un)dead members

I don't have those problems, but it might be that the CP folks are afraid of the ramifications if I did.

Worse, he'd ask Sean to show him his tits.

Is this the time to yell for mind bleach now?

Considering that Sean is known for his tassels, I'd say so.

Just curious, but WHY are you using Google (the evil empire)?
Just stop using it. It's that easy. I did YEARS ago.

Microsoft, Apple, Google - put them all into a bag and beat them with a stick. You will always hit the right one.
I'm not using Google and their adds are almost unavoidable when you are looking for something else. It's amusing to see them desparately trying to find the right ads after their cookies have diaappeared. It was just a joke, since I deleted all cookies in vain. CP still gives me the strangest combinations of settings.

WHAT ADS? What the hell are you people doing that you are getting ads?
|
|
|
|

The google ads junk on almost every page you visit.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean. I see no ads.
There are lots of good search engines out there. I use DuckDuckGo.
You have to take responsibility for yourself and stop feeding your personal information to an evil corporation.

on the left side, I just have a button that says "subscribe" to Wizard of ID.
there are no ads.
Please for the love of god, use a better search engine. https://duckduckgo.com
Also, install Firefox with uBlock Origin. That is a really simple and effective ad blocker.
I also run NoScript, but that is outside of the scope of this discussion.

I do not understand what this means.

That means that I'm not going to install or configure things on a computer that is not my own.
