I went to Albany (small town compared to Manhattan) last weekend for a little getaway and a nature fix. I got both, as well as a healthy dose of upstate charm and a slower-paced culture. I loved it every minute.
The sociologist in me came out at the end of the trip as we took the Amtrak back to the city. For two full days and nights, as we went from bar to restaurant to street festival to house party, as I was introduced to dozens of new people, I realize that not a single person asked me what I did for a living.
This surprised me because in NYC it's pretty much the first question out of people's mouths upon meeting them, quickly followed by, "Where do you live?" When I first moved here four years ago I was a little startled by these superficial questions, but answered them anyway. After awhile I just got used to it I guess, because now I expect the inquiries. Then, on the train, I laughed out loud: I had finally realized the sadistic, judgemental and conceded nature of the questions and their true intent. If you answer the two questions, anyone asking in NYC can pretty much figure out how much money you make. Gross.
- I thought you were going to say "a healthy dose of... " and mention an STD! Haha, sorry mate.goldieboy

Whenever I search for something sexual on Google, I log out of my Google account first. It probably doesn't help, but it makes me feel better and less shameful.

WTF Turkey!
Here is something that really bothers me. Whenever you are in a store here, a coffeshop or any convenience store people don't make a line. Everyone just clusters around the register and starts to flash their money and ask for their item. I can be at the front of the line right in front about to ask for my item and a person will just walk up to the register and reach over me to request something! At first I wanted to be like, "Hellooo! Can't you see I'm in front", but then I have to shut my mouth and understand their culture. Fucking bullshit man I'm tired of it. I hear the British are proud of the queue, has no one brought a least a bit of manners to this country when it comes to being patient??
- oh... line etiquette, something we take for grantedmonospaced

When you duplicate a layer or group in photoshop, instead of calling the duplicate copy, copy 1, copy 2 etc it should just call them 1, 2, 3....

"When you duplicate a layer or group in photoshop, instead of calling the duplicate copy, copy 1, copy 2 etc it should just call them 1, 2, 3...."
Wrong. When you make a copy of something, you're making a COPY of it. It should be called the exact same name as the original layer. I hate it when Photoshop does the 1, 2, 3 thing. It's assuming what the user wants. A copy is a copy. If I want a copy of something, make a copy.
Copy that.

- why on earth would you want numerous layers named exactly the same thing? 1,2,3 is perfect.********
- it's canhasqbn. he don't make sense.pango
- haha i was literally just about to post, 'nevermind i didn't notice it was canhasqbn'********
- Say you're building a page. Then you want to take that page and make a duplicate of it for another page.CanHasQBN
- to use as a template. So you copy that folder full of layers into a duplicate folder, and now all of a sudden you've gotCanHasQBN
- a new folder with all of the layers stamped with a "copy 1" after them.CanHasQBN
