Client of the Day
Ok, I know it is an old and already lost battle:
I hate having to chase clients for invoice payments... seriously, I respond to your emails or calls immediately, I work fast, and you never have any complaints about the results.
Why this blatant lack of respect?
Maybe I’m a dying breed, but—damn it—I always look after my collaborators; I pay suppliers promptly and without delay.
Seriously, some people are in for a rude awakening once we get replaced by AI.
* I look forward to watching them suffer while I sit in the shade of a nice tree, with a drink and something on the bbq, chuckling to myself and saying... "Sucks to be you now, you bastards!"
- Yurp. I'm lucky in that a lot of the stuff I do I can preinvoice for. It's amazing how efficient payment is when they NEED something. Fuck dealing with accountsNairn
- ..departments with arcane and entirely self-concerned payment cycles. Just go for the boss who can pay by card or transfer, in advance.Nairn
- The problems are always with agencies, never with end clients. Always playing games with interests...OBBTKN

- 6 million who died in nazi concentration camps would like to have a word. And I think the Omaha Beach antifascists, toojamesbeat
- how people who are dead would like to have a word? are you trying to put something in their mouths, mister necrophile?rzu-rzu
- I guess a certain kind of person would not get the quote in question, normal people do though.rzu-rzu
- that is to say: if you too far left everything would seem far right, and if you are too far right then everything would seem far left.rzu-rzu
- if you are*rzu-rzu
- I see your point, and I think Ennio wasn't far off the mark at all... some time ago, I read a similar take from Gipi (comic author):
https://shorturl.at/…OBBTKN - Should note that quote is actually by Maccari, and it is "In Italy, fascists divide themselves into two categories: fascists and antifascists."garbage
- (Spoiler: Maccari was a full-blooded Mussolini fascist. Don't they teach this in art history?)garbage
- funny thing is: if the "antifascists" were not such arrogant and annoying self-righteous cunts, nobody would ever think to vote fascists. Yin-yang situation.rzu-rzu
- Yeah, it's self-righteous to watch craven lunatics systematically destroy democracy and speak up about it.garbage
- Stick to easily fact-checked, "mom's on FB again" puerile memes.garbage
- The good ol' "look at what you made me do" argument.palimpsest
- garbage, does systematically destroy democracy include ballot stuffing, loosening election integrity...hotroddy
- and using campaign donations to pay the homeless and unhoused to vote you?hotroddy
- arrogant and annoying self righteous ? i think they hanged sophie scholl because she spread flyers... not because she was the two things.. not so funny thingneverscared
- @neverscared: had to google her, so the actual nazi germans hanged her in 1943...rzu-rzu
- ... and I meant those more modern antifascists, you know, those who fight against fascism that has been defeated in 1945rzu-rzu
- was she the last antifascist who was not annoying and arrogant?rzu-rzu
- not annoying or* arrogant, etc.rzu-rzu

Punches For:
People who pull on the plane seat in front of them instead of push on their own seat when getting in and out.
- Punches for flying in general.garbage
- Standing too close to the baggage carousel. Go fuck yourselves, you rubes.Nairn
- That pulling is pretty rude I have to say, but the real problem is their fucking weight! Why so fat your whole life!canoe
- related: no need to press the touch screen that hard. and crop dusting on the way to the lavatory is kinda not cool. also jeezSquiddy
- And the back-end rows bum-rushing the aisle when its time to deplane.Akagiyama
- Ugrading to first class in MX is like $25GuyFawkes
- I let it slide if it's an older person.hotroddy
- Airplanes are like the gym - a microcosm of the awfulness of the average human being. Nothing atrocious but a lot of small acts of obnoxiousness.CyBrainX
- I love flying, planes and aviation industry in general, and I've never been able to understand the bad mood and lack of manners of many people when flying...OBBTKN
- Well, not just when flying—really, whenever interacting with other people. Punch those people for ruining the travel experience for the rest of the world!OBBTKN
- Punches for the Wright brothersfuturefood
- I have to get into a meditative zone when I fly. I'm flying to Vegas on Monday and I'm already starting to calm myself. Otherwise I turn into a lunaticstoplying

- not the thousands? is it your affinity to own the libs? pettiness? preferred shade of skin colour? share with the class.pango
- I can't see a single comment that implies being right wing, garbage? You're so binary that even when it's called out you default instantly back to it, lol.set
- In case you can't understand: not wanting to celebrate this guys murder and mock does not by default mean you're right wing and agree with everything he saysset

Hey ... you brought it up!Continuity - Fuck you pasta is better!
I didn't know you were a pizza guy. Now I hate you and we can't be friends.set - I love noodles, though. I have a ramen obsession. Meet you halfway?Continuity
- Yes let's be bloody dormant centrists together. Saw the ramen you made btw - they looked great - have you stuffed them in your face yet?set
- if the shooter proved Kirk wrong, then Israel is proving Palestine wrong, I can embrace that logic, it reminds me of times before Socratesrzu-rzu
- @set Oh yes, I most certainly did. The problem being I didn't take a photo of the plated bowl because I was too hungry to remember to do so.Continuity
- Set's writing them foamy novels again. TL:DR.garbage
- That was probably one paragraph. Far-lefties always run away the second someone points out their hypocrisy. Classic :) Hate is only cool when you do it, ay.set

was i dreaming or did somebody post Aldous Feehand on here they'd recreated as a web app? I never got round to trying it - maybe because i dreamt it and nobodies actually recreated it in the first place

Ramen of the Day
Made my first-ever batch of homemade ramen noodles tonight.
40% hydration, strong bread flour, salt, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate.
Hand-cut (obviously), and they're a bit broader than normal because they'll be going into a bowl of mazesoba this weekend, so they need to be able to puck up tare, oil, sauce, etc.
For now, though, they're going to sit in the fridge, wrapped, for the next 48 hours to mature.

Just watched "Disclosure Day" on a flight home from Miami and I have to say, it was not nearly as bad as I thought. I'd seen plenty of damning reviews when it came out, and I have to admit, the story wasn't what I thought it would be - but I liked it. I found it refreshing to have a cast of kind of unknown actors - aside from Emily Blunt - Tons of eye rolls, and chuckles, but (full disclosure) I was entertained.

My father turns 82 today. He’s still going strong—he rides his bike three or four days a week, and plenty of young people would struggle to keep up with him.
He’s quite a character! I know I’ll regret it later, but I just can’t seem to find the time to be with him as much as I should right now. Between this damn job and the time I have left for my wife and daughters, I barely have a moment for myself.
I just called him; he knows I’m always thinking of him and Mom—though today, a call is all it’s going to be.
That said, we’re having a family meal on Saturday to celebrate, and damn, are we going to celebrate in style!
- I wish I could do that. I lost both parents in the 80s. (not their 80s)CyBrainX
- Enjoy that! I miss my old manstoplying

- That's great man, maybe you can make it a tradition... maybe for Sunday. I'm jealous of families that do that.canoe
- My plan was to spend Saturdays with my parents... realistically, once a month wouldn't be bad.OBBTKN
- I don't know how you guys do it, but after working a thousand hours, I barely have any time left for my wife and daughters...OBBTKN
- yeah if any of you have the luck to still have your parents, go visit them often. It can happen quick. Lost my mom this year suddenly.HAL9001
