just had my first major interview in about 9 years ... think/hope it went well.
- Good luck bro.Ramanisky2
- Hey mug - I had a client in for a personal job, he works in your industry, apparently on some high-end movies much like you - he hates it, much like you. hahahaNairn
- I mentioned you, my 'talented internet acquaintance' and how you felt about it too, to which he laughed. But that sort of clenched teeth laugh. of despairNairn
- (I hate my job too - at least this week/month(/year), so not mocking, lest you think that...!)Nairn
- Lovely guy though (much like you, *cuddles*)Nairn
- good luck mug.capn_ron
- Be defensive about everything!pango
- ^ was defensive!
^^^ yeah Nairn ... we are bitter c$nts! Even joked about in in the interview. Great people though. Incredible pps!mugwart - (cuddles back!)mugwart

I bought a house. Now i have to pay the fucker off.
Housing market in Australia is fucked. The whole experience of trying to buy a house and compete against cashed up baby boomers that are buying their 12th investment property is awful.- I'm on the same boat, tired of renting an apartment. Bought a plot and hired an architect, going through the process of licensing...dmay
- It's cheaper than buying a finished house, but it will take about a year to get it donedmay
- congrats. I haven't dared to enter yet... need to a multi millionaire these days.inteliboy
- Would love to build my own place at some point dmay. Now that I’m in I can use the equity on this place for a shackthumb_screws

- @intelliboy, i made the move to a regional city a few years ago, only reason I could get into the market. Bit cheaper.thumb_screws

- I'm like you, thumb_screws, I can only afford this because I live in a small city away from Lisbon.dmay
- ^^ architect - we;ve been thinking of that.mugwart
- ^ dmay - would love to do that. UK land is crazy thoughmugwart
- Edinburgh prices sky high at the moment. We bought at end of last year, place needs a small fortune spent on it. It'll be our long-term home though...microkorg
- ... not looking to sell it in near future as probably wouldnt make anything on it. Work just started a few weeks ago. Finishes about March/Aprilmicrokorg
- is it still the same in oz where you buy the house with all the furniture in it?ben_
- my wife and I bought our place about 16 years ago now. at the time, it was worth about 270k...it's now upwards of 900k..freaks me out thatexador1
- If i tried to buy my own house now, I likely couldn't afford it.exador1
- the housing market is fucking crazy... our place is almost identical to my childhood home...which my dad BUILT himself, for about 20k (including the price ofexador1
- the land/property) so i was pissed at the time that ours cost SO much more for the same fucking thing... but time has made the investment worth it...exador1
- and most importantly, our kids love it, and love the neighbourhood...it's home :) not as big as most of our friends houses, but I've never been one for bigexador1
- mansions etc...or that 'keeping up with the Jonses' kind of mentality...exador1
- @exador1 thats what I'm expecting to happen, at least to some point... Its my retirement plandmay
- @dmay, you're on the right track dude. :)
takes a while, but the years pass by quick. and suddenly you're in your mid-late 40's, close to paying it all off...exador1 - and you realize it was ALL worth it :)exador1
- i think when you buy now the investments get up for sure (place matters) but never like that what we saw in the last 20 years....api
- Yeah, I'm not expecting to get that kind of appreciation, but in Portugal the rents are allmost as high as mortgages. Instead of paying a rent I'm "saving"...dmay
- As someone starting a new job in London, zero chance of even being able to afford a house. Can't even afford to rent my own place. Flatshare while making £60k+shapesalad
- = :-(shapesalad
- I'm london + work in film (not so much money) + with family = not able to even able to get on the property ladder. Its fucked, I want a yellow jacket movement!mugwart

- It exploded right underneath the truck, after impacting, so I think it landed exactly where it was supposed to.
A bit overkill though, surely?Nairn - Missile looks like it weighs possibly half of the weight of the target.Nairn
- Not a missile, but a JDAM bomb, GBU-31 GPS guided 2000lbinv

someone left this comment on my last picture:
"Saw your feed and visited it. You got amazing shots! You are an awesome artist! Can't wait to more from you. By the way, mind sharing a comment on my latest post? Thank you very much! Stay awesome!!!"
99% of the comments on instagram are stuff like this. That dude say he can't wait for more, BUT didnt follow me... he probably copy-paste this comment in dozens of posts. Instagram is souless.

Best part of the crash is watching all the crypto "experts" who were endlessly optimistic (and pretended they could predict the price) come to terms with the fact that they no idea what they're talking about at all.

- that's someones job, someones business and someones xmas ruined.shapesalad
- xmas is ruined because some rich cunt didn't get another bvlgari watch?Milan
- Well as a designer, imagine you can't work, because you need to board up your iMac as some people in yellow vests are marching on your desk.shapesalad
- ^ well as a person with a working class background who had to start working in a factory at 14 to help my parents...oey
- ...and myself, someone who worked all the way until finished my second design degree I still prefer the people over my mac.oey
- and the right to protest. and if a protest turns violent, well isn't it a form of violence how the elites rule the world? I'm not saying violence will solve itoey
- but it can happen. and these brands, well most can actually go fuck themselves.oey
- besides, it doesn't seem they will quit business at all. so what's the issue, what's your point, where do you stand, which side are you taking, etc...oey
- i didn't mean "you" particularly.oey
- Paris est mortutopian
- i bet oey's got QBN stickers on his guillotine.hotroddy
- boohoo, oey. I was washing dishes at 12 and my dad didn't own a pair of shoes until he was 18. being WC doesn't entitle one to be a cuntGnash
- Looting isn't a prerequisite when protesting. (and they're not just targeting lux brands)Gnash
- "...and if a protest turns violent, well isn't it a form of violence how the elites rule the world?" So you get to smash stuff because "elites"?cannonball1978
- hey Gnash, i didn't defend anyone being a cunt.oey
- besides I was not criticizing anyone to use wood planks either defending looting.oey
- I was not defending or justifying violence. I wrote "I'm not saying violence will solve it". I think some people read with filter glasses, like you know...oey
- stereotyping :-)oey
- my Dad went to work in a factory when he was 12 and had to walk 15km along woods barefoot...I can't imagine myself in such a situation.oey
- one time I was in a demo throwing pavement stones in at the police vans with reinforcements when i was 15oey
- when i looked to my side my father was right there too...that was weird.oey
- anyway...yes, I had t a guillotine but Tatcher is dead already so I sold mine to Morrisseyoey
- Dynamite will doi_was
- somehow you get to smash stuff because of elites yes...I wonder how this is connected...I mean social injustice, privilegeoey
- where do the elites become their money, how does capitalism works, which are the consequences?oey
- how does exploration work...why do people have to work 100 hours a week to feed their children and put them to schooloey
- or you believe that people are rich and that's it? and other people are poor because you know it's how things are?oey
- who profits from exploitation? poor designers that can't work at Saturdays cause of the yellow vests...oey
- buuuuuu!....oey
- lets organize a demonstration in favor of the designers and hopefully we don't smash windows. okay, designers that work on apple can smash windows.oey
- @ Gnash sorry to hear that you had to go wash dishes at 12...must have been hard for you.oey
- all those dishes piling up for 12 years waiting for you ;-)oey
- @ i_was: now we're talking!oey
- I best it's the an tifaoey
- to make something else clear, I don't even know if I defend the yellow vest protest at all. I see lots of confusion. and nationalism and populism in the mixoey
- I shouldn't have written so much, it's not even worth it. probably will be taken too serious and misinterpreted. oh fuck it!oey
- If you're a designer, do you really believe smashing other peoples stuff solves your pain? Do you really believe there is some virtue or valu in your suffering?cannonball1978
- Sorry, why didn't people in the 50s have shoes??Nairn
- ^ tiny village, poor farmers. first shoes when he left the country and came to canadaGnash

I bought it. It’s a pile of disassembled shit, but I bought it. 1974 American General FJ-8A light duty delivery vehicle.
People usually turn them into ice cream or food trucks. Sasha Baron Cohen drove one in Borat (his was an 80’s reissue).
No fresh pics yet as it’s still dark out and I didn’t get it home until it was dark last night.
It was a tweakers toy for a while I guess. A lot of self-created and unfinished problems they left for me to attend to... put the gas tank back in, look into the carb, a battery and a starter would be nice, rerun some lengths of several spliced wires. The back door is completely missing...
And get this, my insurance said “nope”. The right hand drive / delivery nature of the vehicle will require commercial insurance or a classic policy from a place such as Haggerty’s.
Already a few hurdles, but friends and surprisingly my father are stoked to work on it so all is good.
- haha, great - what's the end intent?Nairn
- Body off / frame up rebuild into a delivery for hire daily driver. I’ve always liked small box vehicles and have owned Am Gen Jeeps in the past.imbecile
