Everytime I visit the sneakers thread, I'm reminded 90% of people have shitty, unoriginal, completely undaring taste in everything
I can't wrap my head around how conforming grown up designers are. Between them and true artists there is an abyss
- show us the way pls. anyway I agree :Dsted
- I want to see sneakers no one would wear in real life.
How exciting is it to see Nikes from your regular shoe store?drgs - http://cdnb.lystit.c…drgs

I got laid off in early August, which was perfect as I was already planning a 3 month trip to South East Asia starting in October.
Then I get a call from a recruiter for a managing director position at a very successful agency in NYC.
A week ago I had an initial interview and told them my plans, and overall I was pretty flip during the conversation.
I'm flying out of SF in about a week and yesterday they called me back and asked me to do another interview.
It's a great position and they want to fill the role immediately, BUT, I haven't gotten an offer and now I wonder... if I'm offered the job, should I accept or go on my vacation????
Any advice appreciated.
- was your initial interview with the recruiter or the agency? It seems that the choice to go or stay is based on how likely an offer will be.Gnash
- sounds like you want it -- "great positions" don't come up that often and you may be able to negotiate an extended trip laterGnash
- The initial interview was with the recruiter, The next will be with upper mgmt. I do want it but I also want to take a sabbatical... def first world problem...robotron3k
- take the sabbatical. if you're the man for the job, they'll wait.hans_glib
- If you skip the word "off" in the first sentence, this post becomes ever more positivedrgs
- YOLO_niko
- They can't do anything if you had those plans already. Either take your days off or have them compensate for the expenses you've made.Maaku
- ya good advice! thanks! YOLO!robotron3k
- ADVIICE- come visit florida, its always atleast 90F everyday.. live 3 blocks from beach.. also

When you're in a store and you encounter beggars asking for money, who do you usually more annoyed with: them for bothering you, or the store managers / employees for not immediately asking them to leave?
- what the fuck dude?!oey
- I'm more annoyed with society, rich people, bankers and politicians for example.oey
- who much do you beg in one day, oeydrgs
- Here they only hang out at the exit of parking lots. Or freeway off ramps.HijoDMaite
- This was at a 7-11 at a downtown intersection that's full of people begging or change. The guy literally came up to me, said "hey weirdo, can you help me out?"mg33
- I live couple blocks away from possibility the worst poverty neighbourbood in Canada. Everyone know not to enter the store to beg.pango
- But there's always one or two.pango
- "hey weirdo..." LOL!oey
- LOL @ drgs. I bego who? I beg for Alicia Keys! Or Rosario Dawson.oey
- Yeah, not sure what was weird about me wearing a green henley shirt, jeans, and carrying a gym bag since I had just worked out.mg33

On a phone/screen interview and being ask to write a function to return the Nth position of the Fibonacci sequence.
I get that it is an exercise showing problem solving skills, but just felt like overkill for a front-end dev position question. I don't know, it annoyed me because I wasn't ready for that type of thinking on a call.

my good buddy absolutely despises cops - so ask him why, and he basically gave me the best example of why cops are so fucked up in America. why the cops literally have created a war against their community
he basically was around 20 yrs old and was home drinking with a couple girls. his roommate was sleeping on the couch. all of a sudden, very loud knocks on the door, roommate wakes up and goes open the door. they grab roommate (assault him) throw him to the ground in the yard and cuff him. at least 4 other officers entered the home and drew guns on anyone in house forcing them to ground face first etc. well anyway, my buddy had his hands up while this cop is pointing a gun at him, and his dog started freaking out. well the cop is like, 'control your dog!', so he goes to grab his dog and the cop says, 'hands up!'. so my buddy is like to you want me to control the dog or not? another cop then assaulted my friend and the dog tried to defend him. the cop then just shot and killed his dog right there on the spot.
here is the kicker, the cops were actually at the wrong house the entire time. and when they left they charged my friend with a felony assault of an officer b/c of his dog.
in America, we have an brute-force armed gang that views the average citizen as a threat - yet is tasked with protecting that citizen
- If only cops had some sort of secondary incapacitating device that wasn't lethal.DRIFTMONKEY
- notice every time a cop makes a mistake, the victim of the mistake gets the blame. the cop gang protects itself always and never ever admits faultbliznutty
- Yeah they file charges in an attempt to cover themselves from the liability.yurimon
- tell your friend to listen or call into this show http://logosradionet… "rule of law show" eddie craig has youtube vids also. show helped me understandyurimon
- something very similar happened to me. they switched the house number from 48 to 84 and basically almost killed me because it was a domestic violence call and,renderedred
- i did resist. i mean the fuckers came in 4 of them ready for a fight. never got even an apology for that. they didn't believe me until my wife came fromrenderedred
- the bedroom and told them nothing is wrong.renderedred
- i never liked cops but since then i despise them. it's a special breed of people ;)renderedred
- Bloody hell that sounds grim.hans_glib
- fucking hell.sureshot
- I wish I didn't read that story.CyBrainX
- that is so fucked up bliz ...Ramanisky2
- prob the training and their admission test was reviewed by psychologist and seems the they pic people who are not independently smart, prone to this behavior.yurimon
- let us know what happened in the legal realm, they pursued the charges or dropped?yurimon
- I think I heard or read this exact same story before. Maybe it's actually common.monospaced
- @yuri - they 'lessened' the charges but he still got a felonybliznutty
- I know there are bad cops (obvi) but I have friends and family that are cops so I know they're not all bad.kona
- thats how they cover themselves. so much for division of power. he could have fought and won,would have been pricey but long term they would have to pay.yurimon
- Poor dogi_was
- A friend of mine worked for a security company in NYC. All ex cops. All 100% racist and corrupted in one form or another.dirtydesign
- sue themCGN
- I heard that story before, did it make the news or sum? few months back?moldero
- @moldero this happened a long time ago in a chicago suburb, but yes this type of shit happens all the time across americabliznutty
- Is hating all cops the same as hating a race for a past trespass? thinking out loud that some racism is probably a survival instinct based on expdeathboy
- same for cops if they only deal with poor minorities creating crime that likely will try to kill them. hard not to think all smilesdeathboy
- naturally as humans we group things. easy to see how natural hate and racism is on both sidesdeathboy
- (assault him)terry_cloth
- Being an officer is a big power trip. You have a lot of power, yet are so an average (below average) thinker.Bennn
- They found in a study that cops with BA degree performed better on the job in making choices.yurimon
- They appear to use 'suppression' techniques even when a simple conversation would do. Probably because everyone has access to firearms.monoboy

So a bit of an update on the neighbor who's life I saved a couple weeks ago.
I just found out last night that the guy and his girlfriend OD'd a few days ago in the city and he died. wtf. I thought maybe, just maybe, OD-ing in one's own front lawn and being brought back from the dead would save them.
I just saw the kid and gave him a wave like a week ago. Fucking crazy.
- damn. sorry man. you still did a good thing in saving him before. addiction is a terrible disease.sarahfailin
- I didn't save him, I saved his gf while he stood by and watched. He was higher than fuck too. I was just hoping it would be a wakeup call for them.kona
- Sorry to hear this. I was thinking about this the other day as well. Its sad but it was his choices. Your deed still shines.mugwart
- Sorry to hear. That's heavy.Krassy

My 7 year old is being taught about WW2... being half Japanese this is messing him up.In true English propaganda its being boiled down to "goodies and baddies".
There is a generation being taught about the holocaust before they can walk across the road unaided .....
I'm writing a letter asking if they will teach about English colonialism and starting illegal wars.
Fuck sake whats wrong in learning about good old Roman pillaging. At least he will understand where my huge nose comes from!
- both sides were fucked, JP invaded CN, then US nuked JP DURING their surrendermoldero
- Agreed.My point is they are teaching war is peace and at a incredibly young age.mugwart
- Teach him that the politics of a few doesn't represent the entire country or race.pango
- i remember learning about the holocaust so many times i was desensitized to it until I read "Maus" by Art Spiegelmansarahfailin
- moldero what? us nuked japan on the 6th and 9th of August. Japan announced their surrender on the 15th. was i not listening in my history class?!?kona
- and mugwart, definitely seems a bit early for something that heavy. let them fully learn math first, then lay war on them right!?kona
- ^
I'm not saying to cotton wool kids up. History should be taught and its complexities explained and explored.mugwart - but the English don't do this. We have rose tinted glasses of history. Guess I'm a 'conspiracist' but still. 7 years old... that age I had king aurthurmugwart
- It was a foregone conclusion that Japan was going to surrender. The nukes were probably for Russia's sake.i_monk
- exactly wut monk said, I was taught same as kona though in history classmoldero
- watch this kona, it's fucking great! :) https://en.wikipedia…moldero
- Would you rather they teach Japanese colonialism?hotroddy
- homeschoolyurimon
- Lol. You're messed up. Clear there was good vs evil in ww2. People have turned into idiots.Hayoth
- I've got the same problem with the teaching of Franco dictatorship or left-wing and right-wing terrorism times... Very biased allwaysOBBTKN
- Hayoth. Both side have done terrible things. sure one more than the other but no one is clearly "good"pango
- there is a high probability you wouldnt have been born if the good guys lost pango. its true for most. thats how bad it was regardless of the both sided horrifcyurimon
- oh we're talking bout probability now. there's a probability that you wouldn't been born too. or be on qbn.pango
- @yuri - I have often thought about home schooling but I'm in no situation to do this.
@hotroddy - I would have him learn history is complex and interweaving.mugwart - Aye, bring him up with a two-fold guilt complex, one of which is entirely the product of your own over-rationalisation...detritus

sort of just want him to be free thinking.mugwart - mugwart, check this guy out. http://schoolsuckspr…yurimon
- they have podcasts on various issues, maybe its a topic they cover.yurimon
- Thanks Yuri, I'll defiantly check this out.mugwart

usually i have text notification on my phone. lately i've been getting these random texts (xxx + viagra related) not sure what's going on.
blocked some bloke from a gym i visited, who kept calling & calling me about membership; same time it started after i began ignoring his constant calling. pissing me off... not sure how to get my # blocked from the unwanted texts.
funny. but annoying and inconvenient.
