"... and I suppose Marla Maples is the first lady!" [[Special:Contributions/172.68.38.88|172.68.38.88]] 20:04, 25 October 2019 (UTC) | "... and I suppose Marla Maples is the first lady!" [[Special:Contributions/172.68.38.88|172.68.38.88]] 20:04, 25 October 2019 (UTC) | ||

I know that Randall, and by extension Cueball, are not enthusiastic about the idea of dealing with a player who goes by "Reelect Trump 2020", but what does it mean that there is a frog Pokemon in the gym alongside? In other words, is Cueball's annoyance just that there is a Trump-promoting player in the game or is there more to it than that? --[[Special:Contributions/172.69.90.46|172.69.90.46]] 20:16, 25 October 2019 (UTC) | I know that Randall, and by extension Cueball, are not enthusiastic about the idea of dealing with a player who goes by "Reelect Trump 2020", but what does it mean that there is a frog Pokemon in the gym alongside?

:I see that at least you made the connection to the original "Back to the Future" when Marty meets Doc in 1955 and tells him that Ronald Reagan is President.

Hmm, It seems to me that today's Cueball's (TP) dismay with the past's Cueball's (PC) reaction isn't about Trump, it's about calling him old and questioning his continued Pokemon-ing. This seems more in line with my impression of his priorities in life. With the two of them together, they could easily lose track of the 2nd half of the original odd statement and go off on the "what are you saying about me?" tangent - which makes the "I didn't come here to be mocked!" make a little more narrative sense. PC doesn't show any interesting in the Trump aspect, merely the idea of TP's still playing and being 20 years older, seems to be worth his consideration. I don't see it as changing the future sort of thing, don't you have to kill your grandfather or something to do that?

− | + | [[File:explainxkcd ads.jpg|thumb|100px]] When looking at the article page, I'm seeing several Google ads splashed across the full width of the article space, breaking it up randomly and making it more difficult to read (it sometimes interrupts the Transcript, for example, and also randomly crops up in the already-hard-to-read Discussion box). It looks awful. Is anyone else seeing them? I understand that ads are needed to pay for Explain XKCD's server costs, but they're really detrimental to the article. [[User:Hawthorn|Hawthorn]] ([[User talk:Hawthorn|talk]]) 13:13, 28 October 2019 (UTC) | |
+ | : Yeah, I'm seeing them, too, and I agree. ExplainXKCD is one of the few pages on my AdBlock white list. Please don't make me reconsider my decision. [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 13:47, 28 October 2019 (UTC) | ||
+ | : Thank you for creating the new section. Yes, not only am I seeing them invade the text, but invade the text three times with the same advert. Perhaps we need a new tag to make room for advertising [[Special:Contributions/172.68.174.22|172.68.174.22]] 13:59, 28 October 2019 (UTC) | ||
− | + | : I've added a tall screenshot of this to the right. Just from the thumbnail it's easy to see how disruptive it is to the page. --[[User:NeatNit|NeatNit]] ([[User talk:NeatNit|talk]]) 21:06, 28 October 2019 (UTC) | |
+ | ::Oh, yours have images? Mine don't - they're just big white blocks with some text in them (which I think is even ''more'' disruptive since they are harder to distinguish from body text). But still, yeah, absolutely not a fan of this at all. It makes the site feel incredibly tacky. [[User:Hawthorn|Hawthorn]] ([[User talk:Hawthorn|talk]]) 21:34, 28 October 2019 (UTC) | ||
+ | :::Yes I also see them with pictures and it is horrible. :-( --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:34, 29 October 2019 (UTC) |
