THE ROVING PECKER PRESENTS: "Work That Dicksux" By Asparagus Pee!

By


Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent missives from filthy esteemed guest writers. Today's is from Asparagus Pee!

Hello from the land of Asparagus Pee! I know you all know how to suq diq...but do you know how to Disqus? 

Lucky you, I’m here to help. Today I’m going to give you some quick tips and tricks to make your comments more interactive, and answer some frequently asked questions about the platform we affectionately call Dicksux, its features, and how to make them work for you. So stick around and I’ll give you the down and dirty on Tagging, Blocking, and Adding Pics and GIFs.

TAGGING: 

So you wanna tag a Pecker in your comment? There are a couple ways to do this, depending on where you’re viewing from. If you’re on your computer or on your phone in "Desktop Mode" you can type @ in the comment box and the people currently active in the thread will pop up. Select who you’re looking for and it’ll tag them for you. 


If that doesn’t work, or the person you’re trying to tag isn’t active, you can open their Disqus page in another tab to get their full @ name. Note: it needs to be the @ from their Disqus page, not just their screen name. 


Copy and paste the full @ name and add :disqus after it. Boom. Tagged.


BLOCKING: 

Now that you can find the people you want, what about people you want to block? Say you’re a shareholder for GAP and Caza86 has offended you here. Just click on those three dots to the right and Block User. 


You can also Flag As Inappropriate if the comment is racist, phobic, misogynist, etc, and a Mod will look into it. As for the blocked user, they're going to show up thereafter as Content Unavailable. 


You’ll no longer have to see their posts unless you log out of Disqus and they won't be able to see yours.

✳️There is a Disqus glitch that happens when you load more comments where you cannot see who everyone is replying to. There’s nothing after the little arrow to know who the post came from. This doesn’t mean you’re blocked by them, it’s a blip in Disqus’s code. Refresh the page or re-sort by Best/Newest/Oldest and you should be able to see the original comment.

ADDING PICS & GIFS: 

Moving right along. You’ve found the hottest pic of Sam Smith you’ve ever seen and you’ve tagged RichBitch in your comment. Now you need to add the photo to your comment. Save the pic to your device then click on the Add Photo button. 

Disqus will link that pic into your comment. 


This is the same way you’re going to add GIF images from your own device, too. If you’re not into cluttering up your hard drive with side eye and table flipping gifs, Disqus has their own little farm of funny moving pics. Click the GIF* button. Type in the sentiment or expression you’re looking for and scroll to the one you like. 


I hope all this makes sense and that it alleviates some of the frustration with Dicksux’s limitations. Don’t @ me, hors! Although, now you know how.

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post?

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
