i'm getting really fed up with instagram - the stupid algorithm which means i miss posts, the constant ads which seem to be on the increase.
facebook is a cancer on everything it touches
- these services are engineered to appeal to the worst side of people. users want post privacy but are also voyeuristic? = remove chronology replace with stories.kingsteven
- i had a quora account - deleted the other day as the emails it would send me were some of the most heartburn inducing clickbait.kingsteven
- wouldn't like to think i'm easily triggered but their algorithms were deliberately trolling by determining the most divisive questions.kingsteven
- ^ i used to really enjoy Quora, but it seems the content has dropped a bunch of IQ points, of lateGnash

Plasma is the fourth state of matter and that's cool.

What a difference 24 hours makes.
Just when you think it's all irreparably falling apart, awesomeness comes out of nowhere. Since yesterday afternoon's chat with my landlady:
• A headhunter I connected with put my CV forward to one of the big network agencies, who are looking for a CD and she feels I'll get an interview with them;
• I just had a phone interview with a small agency in Stuttgart who are also looking for a CD, and they want to meet me next Friday;
• An HR person from one of the large German content marketing agencies found me on LinkedIn, and sent me a message asking if I would like to be considered for a CD job they have in Munich, and wants to schedule a call.Now, it's up to me to keep this momentum going, and to bring it to fruition.
Needless to say, I'm incredibly grateful for this fantastic turn of events, and to all of you for putting up with me this week.
Happy Thursday!

You can tell when it's sunny in Britain - all the UK QBNers suddenly remember there's life beyond their computers...
...except for sad cunts, like me.

- It's a bad start to the (2 days of ) summer.Fax_Benson
- Considering our obsession with it, we're so bad at weather. I hate myself for not being more productive when it was overcast and drizzling.Fax_Benson
- Whereas I can finally do work. My studio was still cold today. It was so fucking freezing over winter, my fingers barely worked.detritus

qbn is starting to become some morbid experiment of watching a group of designers / ex-designers grow old and die together online.
case in point: "Retirement Talk", the new hottest thread.
- and why not?hans_glib
- signs of getting oldsted
- not a good or bad thing. also I remember the qbn creators used to state things like this all is some not for profit experiment.inteliboy
- It's funny you say that, because the stuff we're talking about at work is directed towards younger people.mg33
- AKA "what do you need to know and do in your 20's when you're starting your career so you don't get halfway to retirement and think "oh shit..."mg33
- I feel like I retired once already.docpoz
- very soon 'designer gravestones" threadBeeswax
- "assisted living advice"yuekit
- Perhaps a result of us all diving into a design career when it was fun and the internet was a blue sky of opportunity.shapesalad
- now it's matured, industry is super relevant to youth, full of youths, cheap labour.shapesalad

I really need to know soon.

This would make for a good movie
“Milliken was living in a $2 million home behind the gates of a 25,000-square-foot estate. His spam was paying the rent and, he said, a private chef and a personal driver, because Los Angeles traffic freaked him out.”

My sleazy old boss that inspired me to quit that job has also compelled the next 4 people he's hired also to quit within about a year and a half. Once they had a total staff of 6, and it's now down to just him and one woman who's been there forever and doesn't know how to use email.
Cheers, boss! Ya cunt.
- hahaha. no email? does she have carrier pigeons to relay info?capn_ron
- why send an email when you can just leave a long voicemail??sarahfailin
- Marathon voicemails, my favorite. I've had, "If you'd like to reach me right away email ____ or text" as a caveat that I won't listen for at least 10 years.shellie

I still find it absolutely amazing how one can go from complete obscurity to the limelight and superstar status overnight...simply by dating a celebrity.
Neri Oxman: Breaking boundaries in a male-dominated world
- she's incredible.Gnash
- Smart man, find younger hotter Angelina look alike who coincidentally has brains...robotron3k
- Who?pango
- He’s going to get tired of that shit after a little while. He will just want to drink some beers and watch a game..HijoDMaite
- And not “pursue social equality, confound label-based gender norms and embrace complexity..”HijoDMaite
- Should be already drinking beers and watching games, girl is too young... and prob. he's doing beers and this relationship is just a strategy to be left aloneOBBTKN
- Ok, I'm getting old, but, it's what I would do. Bored and tired of this "showing your macho" abilities all the day...OBBTKN
- why are we paying so much attention who celebs are dating?pango

- at least pitt isn't chasing teen models like most of these guysGnash
- Never heard of this or her. People like you are the reason for the status increase. Only joking. But you are increasing the viral effect of this kind of thing.Hayzilla
- Imagine if she spoke in real life like her answers in thata interview?cannonball1978
- I would date her if she was 20 years younger.M01XXX
- I find it amazing how one can stay in complete obscurity simply through one post. Oxman is far from obscure. She did a ted talk couple yrs back, 2 million viewsBustySaintClaire
- she's quite something.Gnash
- I was a little disappointed that she went for pitt, though. on the other hand, at least she has a flawGnash

Every single of my posts is being downvoted. The fairies on here are relentless. It's actually fun. Keep it up.
