I just saw a guy post this on FB:
"I've Done It
If all the men who have sexually harassed or assaulted women wrote "I've Done It" as a status (even in addition to "I Believe You,") then perhaps we could start to comprehend the magnitude of the problem and begin to solve it.
I have spoken, behaved, and acted inappropriately towards women. I've make every effort to grow, but still I need to learn, to listen, do more to help. Women are not alone in this struggle, and we (men) need to be better so they can just... BE.
*copy and paste*"
pretty brave and humble thing to do, imo.
- what about all the women who have sexually assaulted or harassed other women? or men for that matter? I keep reading equality, but seeing sexism.imbecile
- i'm sure they can post this too.sarahfailin
- Women wouldnt do sex, they might do testimonial like, "Yes, I've done it. I sleep/dated/married a guy for his money... But I'm trying to be better."robotron3k
- who was the one cutting off your testicles?pr2
- To be fair I think I knew more racists and sexist girls then men. I know more women to take advantage of blokes.
Not saying it doesn't nor hasn't happened butmugwart - this momevent is really out of context.mugwart
- some QBN'ers are out of contextoey

Think Harvey Weinstein will ever work again?
- Does he need to? Unless he's in jail, take his money and do other shit.ArmandoEstrada
- they always work again somehow even if its by proxy via someone elses name.shellie
- I was expecting (maybe hoping) he might eat a bulletPonyBoy
- tell us how it tastes Ponyimbecile
- lol... what did I do to deserve to eat a bullet, imbecile? ...and WOW you've really grown up to be right stinky pile of human shit, dude... congrats!! :DPonyBoy
- Hopefully not, he shouldn't have been anyway, he abused people in many ways not just sexually. A bona fide sociopath who makes Steve Jobs look likefadein11
- Mother Theresa. Whats odd is that it wasn't just those close who knew, you only had to read a couple of books about 90's Hollywood to know it all. So strange hefadein11
- carried on as long as he did.fadein11
- and yes he had his great work moments (by buying up cheap readymade films off desperate newcomers) but brother Bob bailed him out many times...fadein11
- The Scream franchise on Bob's Dimension kept Harvey afloat for a long time.fadein11
- I do feel for all the directors who sold pictures to him based on profit deals, which never materialised because fat slob Harvey was paying for his lavishfadein11
- lifestyle on the film budgets - so Harvey's films were rarely profitable (after expenses) and directors saw little. There are exceptions of course.fadein11

We're now going to Prague. In October. She's Italian and wanted some hint of sun before Winter sets in. Oh well.
.
Also, turns out that the booking system I was using didn't actually require passport numbers up front, so that's another massive argument in my future.
Really annoying thing is that she insisted she was going to book, last week. Somehow she didn't and somehow everything thereafter is my fault.
- prague looks much better when the weather is shit.hans_glib
- true - is very atmospheric in a dank fogFax_Benson
- I went to Prague and didn't pay for a train ticket the whole time... The barriers were open everywhere and never saw an inspector...set
- My girlfriend at the time went a few months after me and asked for tips. I said don't bother paying for the train. They got arrested on their first day hahahaset
- She's Italian what would you expect? It obviously your fault. Everything. Forever. I'm Portuguese, I'm always guilty. You will learn to live it it. Adapt.oey
- ^LOL!oey
- Any recommendations? It was literally the only viable option given the myriad of constraints we'd had. I know fuck all about the place, hahadetritus
- 'haha' = dying inside.
(I've wanted to go for years, but non-specifically and now that it's upon me, I'm perplexed. as often)detritus - haha, oey - thanks?
*weeps*detritus - We had great fun doing a segway tour of the city. You'll curse at the cunts as they go past as they're everywhere... we did.set
- I recommend it though. A fun way to get your bearings and see the city.set
- (I assume they're still a thing)set
- Thanks, will lookseedetritus
- If I'm honest, I'm kind of glad - I'd rather 'Do' Morocco properly some time, and given the time of year, I'd prefer hearty C.European stodge over falafels.detritus
- "some hints of sun..." in Prague in October? does not computeOBBTKN
- My biggest fear was that we'd end up doing some package deal in Fuerteventura etc, just to get Sun. I've never done a package holiday 'cos I'm a snooty cunt...detritus
- bcn, sevilla, why not lisbon?OBBTKN
- I could just imagine her horror, on holiday with loads of the Fat Red Northern Boorish Brit drunk fake-suing Hooligans she imagines we all are.detritus
- I reckon you'd be more likely to run into Germans in Fuertaventura in October.
Naturally, you'd never get a sun lounger.Continuity - OB - that's the point, it's perverse. We considered Portugal, but a bit dull. Spain, Italy & France are verboten as they're common ground for both of us.detritus
- I was actually gunning for Bilbao but she assiduously ignored it every time I mentioned it. Trouble is, it's so late now, flights to anywhere else = $$$detritus
- I'd've happily gone to Croatia, Greece, Tunisia, Israel, and if she'd..sorry "we'd" booked last week we could've. Now though it's just costly.detritus
- Hey, set - can you ..er.. get smoke over there easily? That was the one thing I was looking forward to about Morocco... :\detritus
- I didn't tryset
- Ah. Good. I'm glad. Evil stuff - was just asking for Law Enforcement porpoises.detritus
- No Bilbao? Tell her that the basques have not killed foreigners for a long time... we are civilised and nice people now ;)OBBTKN
- Vienna >>>> Praguei_monk
- Another time, perhapsdetritus
- I really love Austriaset
- Spent new years in Innsbruck and had the best time ever. Lovely people. Good food. Beautiful scenery. The mountains are just THERE everywhere you lookset
- thanks i_monk - very handy at this stage!detritus
- If you're stuck with Prague visit the Old City/Wencelas Square once and don't go back. Stay somewhere else in the city if you can. The whole area is a shittyi_monk
- tourist trap full of fast food franchises and souvenir shops.i_monk
- Even handier - that's where we've booked. Excellent news!detritus
- I did actually wonder at the relative proximity of a Hard Rock cafe, a few minutes walk away.detritus
- However, I have a Czech client who apparently loves the fucking thing, so perhaps they think it's bonadfide over there?detritus

Saw Roger Waters last night, best show of my life.
- wow really? best show?sarahfailin
- you need to see moore shows then. LOL!chukkaphob
- I mean, yeah, the Roger Waters one is really dope, but best of a lifetime? nah.chukkaphob
- better than the donkey show?oey
- Well, easily in my top 5. Still on the high of last evening. It was amazing.Bennn
- Never thought I would ever see a Pink Floyd member in front of me, they're like unreal to me, Godlike. I litteraly cried during Great Gig In The SkyBennn
- Last time i felt this was when I saw Radiohead a few years ago, they too were like unreal person to me and couldnt believe they were in front of me.Bennn
- overratedmonospaced
- Its not a statement i make, but a very personal thoughtBennn
- Saw him a few years ago, he puts a fantastic show! One of the best in the business in my opinion.T-Dawg
- Saw Pink Floyd sans Waters (Gilmour, Mason, Wright) in 1994 and then Waters at Coachella 2008. The show in 1994 was much better.Krassy
- Still wish I could have seen Gilmour, Mason, Waters, & Wright era Floyd back in the day. Or even Barrett era Floyd! Aaaaah!Krassy
- Me too, the whole band would have been greater than great. I was still very very impressed by Waters.Bennn
- One of the last great band. No more bands reach the iconic sphere anymore.Bennn
- I saw him at Glastonbury a couple of years back. It was not great, meh. Taste is strange.robthelad
- A lot of it has to do w him, who he is, and not w what the music/show is, Like, OMG, I'm seeing Roget Waters 1/4 of Pink Floyd! This is (or must be) amazing!chukkaphob
- but yea, he's cool! still!chukkaphob
- The music/show was amazing, i'll a video maybe this eveningBennn
- yes, i've seen itchukkaphob
- but yes, please share your vids, surechukkaphob

Can someone please share the link fro the digital camera thread?
I will have some money to invest in material and would like to place a question without starting a new thread.
l'm also thinking in buying a Epson Perfection V550 scanner and a Intuous to replace my Bamboo.
- Great scanner. Get some scanning glass as well. Let me know if you want any help on thismugwart
- there was a time when I used a scanner several times daily for design stuff. Now I only use it when I need to scan a document for my lawyer or accountantGnash
- I feel you Gnash but I'm seriously thinking in going back to the old days as I want to make my living out of my skills.oey

Someone in Networking must have implemented a new web filter, because everything (not this site though, lol) is blocked. I'm not asking for every little site I piss off on to be unblocked.
Guess I'll just have to fire up my proxy server from home in the mornings. You guys really showed me!

I presented some work a few minutes ago and a UXD inquired "Is that an h1 you're using there?"
"Yes, I believe so. I'm using the current site guidelines for h1, h2, h3, subheads and body."
"Hmmm. I don't think it should be an h1 here. It's just too long. The text is too long. I think it should be an h2."
"Ok. Let's talk that through for a moment. The text is still TBD from our copywriter so it can definitely be shortened if it indeed is too long. Also, I'm not sure I'd suggest creating a new class for..." yada yada a few valid points made as to why this is a shit idea.
The text was "Lorem Ipsum Dolar Resami Setasi"
I know I'm new here but what the fuck.
- some people have no imaginationmonospaced
- at least you didn't have to explain why it's latin text - I had to do that yet again recentlyfadein11
- lol fadein11. Some people need to give feedback for the sake of giving feedback.kona
- I think it's "Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet...." :)Maaku
- lol Maaku - yepfadein11
- Nobody proofed the Ipsum? - what kind of outfit you working at?Fax_Benson
- lol maaku! I felt I needed a few more characters so I combined a few together.kona
- Your new co-workers are posting on their equivalent of QBN saying "Wow this new guy is really confrontational" : )stoplying
- "I sounded like I made a valid point to those who have no actual idea"
- UXD in kona's meetingETM - lol. If rational, common sense responses = confrontational, then fuck me I'm doomed.kona
- Am I a dick if I ask if this was a website, and if so, why you were using an H1 at all for content? Was this something other than page heading?mg33
- Not being a dick at a. It was a website and yes, a page heading. The page headings were predefined months ago. I'm creating a new page based off of the restkona
- at all. not at a.kona
- Did you stand up and ask him "Do you even SEO?" and flex the shit out of your biceps?mg33
- haha. Actually, my boss jumped in on the SEO train. I did not flex my biceps, I shot her a quad flex that blew her hair right off her head.kona

I cleverly avoided the paperclip thing here when babysnakes first posted, then certain suspects when they started reporting progress, then even when my friend who introduced me to http://adarkroom.doublespeakgame… taunted me with it on skype.
But then I slipped.
Why oh why?
Fuck you all!

I feel ya Sea_Sea I havent been on here in about three weeks, but to do a couple scrolls of the cover.
lots has happened.
i applied for a new position at work and got beat out by an outside candidate. that was humbling, i thought i had it in the bag. oh well just motivates me to keep working harder.
finally, for real this time quit smoking cigarettes. been about ten days now and there is no way i'm going back. fuck those things.
incredible to watch my high school mate and idol Dave Roberts going to the World Series (again) but as a Manager this time!
been booking lots of family shoots lately, trying to find joy in it by really connecting with my clients. i've gotten a ton of inspiration from watching the Platon segment on the Abstract series from Netflix. This mini docu on Platon is just full of gems.
I also discovered a new band this week that just had my jaw on the floor. Surprised i didn't see it here first.
- Dave Roberts!? I was going to say are you 55 but I learned that he's 45. Man we're getting old.Beeswax
- Can you ask him not to put Granderson in the line up again pls? Thanx!Beeswax
- He's no more than an aquintance these days, although we all like to pretend he was our BFF. :PHijoDMaite
