Girlfriend does not want to have kids and I am OK with that. But we don't do anything with the time we won. We are both working long hours and could afford to do cool stuff but actually we don't do it.
Then what's the point of having a childfree life?

Washed the dishes, made tomorrow's lunch (white beans with chorizo), prepared the dinner (beef stew with mushrooms) and still got time to send a pair of mails and plan tomorrow todos...
Impresed, i'm becoming a superwoman or a really competent guy.
I'm scared.

Is calling someone "buddy" ever friendly if you know the person's name but aren't exactly good friends with them?
People say it to strangers if they're annoyed like "get out of the way, buddy".
People say it to you when they don't see you as an equal like "thanks for the good work buddy".
- I can't stand this trend - it's always the exact-same sort of witless late-20-something post-hipster buffoon that uses it.detritus
- Michael Knight called KITT buddy... was he not sincere??? lolsince1979
- you guys are overanalyzing.pinkfloyd

Man, my coworkers have no originality. They keep copying me. They copy how I dress, how I joke, how I write my emails, how I work. They use the systems I create, and don't make any innovations to them. Fuck, i'm good.

Finally had enough of my longtime web host. Been with them for at least 14 years and their service has become abysmal in the past year. They recently killed their live chat, and their entire helpdesk, preemptively before they were up and running with whatever new service they are going to use. No responses to customers, significant downtime, slow servers. Such BS.
Switching to SiteGround after reading tons of reviews over the past several months. Added bonus is that they do a full CPanel transfer for free, so all I should have to do is change my DNS info for all domains.
- i don't even know who my web host is. i signed up like 10 years ago, set it to autopay and immediately forgotscarabin
- Ha!mg33
- good luck with siteground ahaha you'll need it :Dsted
- In less than a day they're already a million times more helpful than the host I'm moving from.mg33
- well i hope that they changed in the past few months :) and that you use some site monitoring service like site24x7sted

i dreamed georges had a wedding party in a vast underground car park and i spent the whole time "dancing" to what sounded like really aggressive autechre, flirting with some girls i wasn't really interested in, and skateboarding all over the structure.
it ended at some point and everyone went inside the building and back to work while i stayed behind skating until i woke up.
i never really have qbn-related dreams so thought i'd mention it :)

"Make the logo bigger"
Predictable fucking cunt faced fucking cunts. Where does every mother fucking cunt learn this shit? Are we all born with a burning desire to have logos as big as physically possible? Was it in school? Did I miss the mandatory "Power Of Bigger Logos 101.
All my working life, cunts always want it bigger. It was funny there for a while but today I've fucking had enough. Think I'm going to go home before replying to that email. calm down a bit. Cunts.
- write the email you want to now, but don't send it. Get the anger out of your system then write a toned down one in the morning and send that instead - it's whadetritus
- - No worries we will find someone who knows how to make it bigger, just send us the files in word doc or something.sted

- relativity! BAM!pango
- Marketing idiots poisoned the well. Branding=logo bigger logo=better brandingHayoth
- I did just that. Wrote the angry email. Then chilled out and sent a better one this morning. Worked. Persuaded them to not "make it bigger".HAYZ1LLLA
- My second biggest wind up in my job is asking for an .eps. They rename the file from .jpg send it back. I'd cry if it wasn't so funny. Happens so so much.HAYZ1LLLA
- They are fucking w u. Have a sense of humor. Is the work disposable?since1979
- After a third email I finally got a vector logo off a client - first was a photo of logo on an item, second was a mobile screengrab of logo in instagram app.detritus

You know how Reddit is... one thing leads to another. Somehow a series of clicks lead me to a self harm pics sub. Whoa. I can handle a lot and feel pretty tough, but the few pics I saw were way too much to handle and I thought I was going to faint looking at them. I'm talking huge cuts, enormous amounts of blood, people talking about needing to call an ambulance after a bad episode.
Do you know anyone who has a problem like that? I get that there are usually deep psychological factors at play, but it's hard to wrap my mind around such intense and dangerous manifestations of problems, or the pleasure derived from cutting.
- i ended up in the depression sub a while back and ended up trying to talk some dude out of killing himself that night. never going there again!scarabin
- its even worst when it's off the internet and someone you know... =__=pango
- seems like lots of cutters in high school these days. Each of my kids know a fewGnash
- I read a "here are the pills I'm going to use to kill myself in two weeks" post from someone and it was their last post...mg33
- I knew a lot of teenage and college aged cutters, boulemic and anorexic girls. I was a gymnist. Highly competitive with stress + school.shellie
- A 20 year old. It makes me lightheaded to think of how someone can give up that young, even rejoicing in the decision.mg33
- I would have done it too but my mom was very involved and nosey. I feel like a lot of it is contageous. 1 or 2 disturbed girls teach the rest & they all copy.shellie
- And so many of these cutting posts, people end up in the emergency room. How do they pay for the services, and how are they not committed to psychiatric care?mg33
- But the Internet makes communities available and they can trade bad habits on a boost scale. Girls i knew that ate cotton balls dipped in sugar water.shellie
- *larger not boostshellie
- Serenity now... my daughter is about to turn two in January. I pray daily that her future is a positive one with good people and friends always around her.mg33
- Sugar water = enough energy not to pass out and cotton balls kept you feeling full for a long time. Peer pressure, i tried but couldn't hang. Was 12-13.shellie
- I cannot imagine the power of these forums on people who have dark thoughts to begin with.shellie
- And I'm not judging... I'm truly shocked by what I'm looking at and reading, but there are all these posts like "look what I did instead of cutting..."mg33
- And it's a simple doodle or drawing, or a photos of eggs and toast someone made. And I can't even imagine how much a simple act like that means to them inmg33
- In that moment. That's just so heavy to me.mg33
- As their alternative to harming themselves. My mind is kind of spinning taking this all in.mg33
- Makes me incredibly sad. We take so much shit for granted sometimes when life is good.mg33
- hugs man. hugs.... T_T
i'm in my 30s and i still know a few people who cuts.pango - And some of these people are young, living with parents. Can't begin to imagine the A-Z of it all. Drastic damage to themselves, hospital trips, stitches...mg33
- Can't imagine how that all plays out to family members, and how much it must feed into the desire.mg33
- make sure you be there for your kids when they're that age... :(pango
- Psychotic behaviori_was
- When you hate yourself that much it's hard to see the good in life.mugwart
- ^ what mugwart said. Tunnel vision when you're in a tailspin. I know this existed before the internet but....shellie
- I totally believe it's worse when they egg each other on in forums and it's so easy to access.shellie
- Exactly Shellie. There were people literally celebrating the severity of cuts or the amount of blood. It really freaked me out.mg33
- celebrating?

I flew 47,000 miles in 2016. That's 3,000 away from United bullshit gold status.
Yesterday I took a day off and flew to LA and back to get the miles to get the status. 11 hours in a plane. $300. It will be worth it next year.
And since I've never seen Breaking Bad, I decided to get into it yesterday. Wow...good shit!- You took a flight just to get air miles?
Fuck the planet, right? Thanks for that.detritus - 500kg pollution of the atmosphere in 1 day. great!uan
- I have a friend who does that, to maintain his status. Flies to Hong Kong and back.i_monk
- You can blame airlines that make a round trip to HK cost less than a year's worth of bag checks.i_monk
- not a huge difference between silver and gold. https://www.united.c…eryx
- Yeah and I drove my exhaust-less car to the airport while lighting my styrofoam double coffee cup on fire. It was magical.stoplying
- I just mean the only advantage is a 48h upgrade, 2 checked bags and a discount waver. Why waste the 11h and $300 unless....your lying.eryx
- I fly a lot for work. And with gold, you can book an extra leg room seat when you buy your ticket. I'm 6'3" so that is worth it for me. With silver you have...stoplying
- to wait until 24 hours before the flight and then you can see what extra leg room seats are available.stoplying
- You took a flight just to get air miles?

The US is one of the lowest global consumers of lamb. I think it's safe to say you like your meat. So what gives? I'm genuinely interested...
- Nothing but Legs and Eggs my brotha!utopian
- 'mericans like the chicken, pork, beef too much. Imo Midwest would eat more lamb if prepared well. Same goes for fish.bezoar
- I dont like the tastedrgs
- A lot of people I meet consider lamb exotic and, like drgs, don't like the taste, or altogether refuse to try it because it's so weird to themmonospaced
- Lamb tastes like clagnuts.detritus
- Lamb is disgusting.HijoDMaite
- love lamb. Not crazy about goat but crave it every now and then.Gnash
- Silly yanks. I make lamb stews and tajines regularly.i_monk
- i dig on lamb but im more veggo these dayssince1979
- colonists didn't raise it early on so it didn't become part of our culture. *shrug*scarabin
- @scarabin, that is actually quite true, there's not really a culinary history of lamb in this country, not like there is for beefmonospaced
- and @i_monk, please don't lump all Americans together, everyone in my family loves lamb and eats it regularly as well, and it's all over NYCmonospaced
- I'm lumping all Americans who don't eat lamb together.i_monk
- hahaha, I guess I am too ... my in-laws think it's exotic, say they don't like it, but when asked, say they've never even tried it! facepalmmonospaced
- hey, they also don't eat dark meat from the Turkey, which everyone knows is the best part ... it's borderline insane hearing them try to explain whymonospaced
- I think it's delicious. But it is too fatty, the chops are too small, and most think the taste is "gamey".stoplying
- I'll eat lamb and enjoy it if it's served to me as part of a fixed menu, but I won't go out and buy for myself in the supermarket.Continuity
- That said, I would totally try mutton.Continuity
