I think fans are the some of the lamest humans alive. Fans. What is a fan? Someone who has no skill themselves so must pretend they have something in their lives by being a fan of someone else more talented and interesting than them.
Football fans are obviously the worst example. People that get upset and angry that a bunch of men that they've never met, lose at a game that kids play in the school playground.
There's a guy in the office who is a die hard rock and roll fan. I'm all for enjoying music but this guy thinks he's an authority on music simply because he's listened to lots of it and knows all about the musicians, the years that songs came out etc. It's fucking hilarious, All of that is nothing. He can't play an instrument or sing a single note in tune, haha. He has nothing but convinces himself he is some kind of rock authority.
lol.
Fucking fans.
- haha, I think about this oftenmonospaced
- He’s ready for jeopardyimbecile
- I kind of agree. 60yo football fans in full kit are a bit embarrassing. That said, obsessives and fanatics are often the people who keep their specialistFax_Benson
- subjects alive - the kind of people who set up museums and give tours and create archives. Interesting people. who aren't put off by lack of talent and cynicsFax_Benson
- It’s ok bro. Even if daddy never took you to a game. I’m sure he still loved you. :-(HijoDMaite
- Never been a sport fan but I can see why some people need it in their life. Just like some people need Jesus.microkorg
- I hear you. Herd mentality. Its okay to love something deeply but when you loose your own identity to it.mugwart
- Oh - I wonder who you're talking about.. :)RumperChunk
- You work with set, rumperchunk?detritus
- Mugwart is your biggest fan though :)fadein11
- hahaha - Set does rock! #setforpopemugwart
- He does indeedfadein11
- I think it's about a need to belong to something. Some people have more needs than other.Chimp
- I’m a set fan.Ramanisky2
- I am a fan of set.********
- People you never met? The soccer club of your hometown you grew up wearing their shirts, watching their matches live in the stadium.. this is no anon, set.mekk
- Maybe you did not experience the feeling of membership? Don't you have something you like that you just feel happy when they achieve something?mekk
- And people who collect stamps...fuck those guys amirite!yuekit
- We have reached peak QBN.face_melter
- ^ i think things have changed. A football fan told me when he was a kid it was about community, sticking with the lows and enjoying the highs.mugwart
- its involved into a cooperate mindset, of winning/ popularity. I grew up at the end of these old days and watched it changed. for me it was always shit!mugwart
- a form of male bonding/latent homosexualitydrgs
- im a fan of a good german biscuitkingsteven
- Hahaha rumperchunk. I forget there's one man here that knows what I talk of when I talk of 'the office'.********
- I think you make a good point fax. I guess there's a rather nebulous difference between a scholar and a fan.********
- Mekk, of course there is lots that I like and I have been a member of clubs and bands and enjoy and study all sorts, but I think that's different.********
- There's also beauty in following a local football team with your family and enjoying it, but I still think that's a completely different thing.********
- I also suffer from this :D your infatuation isn't exclusive that's all :)sted
- Are you saying the you're sick of being QBN poster boy?robotron3k
- I do over generalise which naturally puts people's backs up, I know.********
- Wow. Guys has an opinion and you flip out.Hayoth
- I love the guy it just triggered a rant. Knowing rock and roll and knowing about rock and roll are worlds apart.********
- Speaking in general though, having to deal with hoards of Brighton football fans at the weekends********
- Am. Football fan here. It's a hobby. I love watching games, the suspense, the drama, all of it. It's great fun.mathinc
- And find rather amusing the mental image of a man absolutely mad about football that doesn't actually know what to do if you throw him a football********
- agreedGuyFawkes
- Reminds me of some apple fan boipinkfloyd
- Oh, you're talking about soccer. I agree about American football fans, they are annoying as hell.Maaku
- If you play any sport it's hard not to appreciate what professionals do. Throw in the suspense and drama of it like mathinc said and sprinkle in some hometown_niko
- or national pride, plus a few betting dollars and you have a recipe for something spectacularly fun and engaging._niko
- Man, some of you have become cynical, old, judgemental, hypocritical cunts! lolETM
- I mean, you were all more cool when you were cynical, young, judgemental, hypocritical cunts!ETM
- Some of you are obviously mistaking simply enjoying something for being the type of fan I'm talking about. No one is saying you can't enjoy things, hah********
- I think the whole "fans = unintelligence" is a bit short-sighted, and painting in broad strokes is never a good look.garbage
- I used to play basketball so I love watching the game. Also a huge Hawks fan, but I will concede that a huge portion of our fanbase are an embarrassment.garbage
- Didn't expect front page
I don't even really agree anymore
I stand by it though******** - Exhibit A: https://i.imgur.com/…garbage
- Very convenient that they put their own dipshittery on blast, makes them easy to avoid.garbage
- I once exited the Metro in Newcastle, high on acid, right when tens of thousands of Toon fans were leaving the stadium, swarming us. Absolute Hell.detritus
- fans like to blow air, man. fuck em.********
- yes, this place makes you toxic, negative, cynical, argumentive, etc....just come here less and you'll be better offpinkfloyd
- I agree set, I don't get it. I'll occasionally watch sports but I wouldn't call myself a fan. Worse, if I'm wearing a cap some dude always says...kona
- "... hey man, how do you think so-and-so is going to be this year?" and I have to reply "I have no idea who you're talking about, I just love the logo."kona
- lol nice********
- what's worse? being a fan of a sports team or being a smug twat over something so simple as a logo? lol @ 'daddy never took you to a game' XDPonyBoy
- I like to think there's a distinction between a fan, and some die-hard fanboi weirdo. In my equation, being a fan is absolutely OK. I count myself a fan of ...Continuity
- ... lots of different things: Star Trek, Front Line Assembly, FC Bayern, Metallica, etc, but I don't have merch, scarves, t-shirts, caps, I don't follow ...Continuity
- ... anything religiously, or make it the end-all and be-all of my life. But when a new ST series or film comes out, I watch it. When a new FLA or Met album ...Continuity
- ... comes out, I listen to it (and sometimes dislike what I hear), I watch FCB's matches sometimes, especially the Champion's League. But none of these ...Continuity
- ... things *are* my life. I still consider myself a fan, though.Continuity
- @ Continuity... whaaat? You don't have a Metallica scarf? Dude...ETM
- I know, right?Continuity
- cracked up when i read Kona's post...
i was at a home depot the other day, wearing a 'bucaneers' shirt..exador1 - guy behind the counter goes bananas.. yo man...over here, I'll help ya!...yo duuuude!!!! bucks!!!! yo man!....exador1
- so he's sooo excited, and he says 'nice to see a bucks fan bro'... and i'm ...what?exador1
- he's surprised, ..bucks...bucks?...b... know...your shirt????exador1
- sorry man.
we were on a family trip, and i saw some shirts, and tried this one on, and my daughter said she liked the pirate guy, so i bought it...exador1 - i liked the logo as well...so....yeah...
uh...so....it's sports team...eh?exador1 - lol@exador. My favorite logo of all time, the old Brewers glove... I'll wear a cap out and get some die-hard brewers fan in Chicago flip out the same way. hahakona
- "yeah. yeah, it's a sports team...."
ugh...poor guy...he looked SO let down at that point...exador1 - but i honestly laughed all the way to the car after... he was SO happy to see someone that was 'into' his team, etc...exador1
- and i honestly don't know a fucking thing about sports...exador1
- now...on the other hand...talk to me about Pink Floyd, or sci-fi, or mid-80's metal, or Terry Pratchett books, or stuff like that, ill talk your fucking ear offexador1
- all depends on what you're 'into' i suppose...exador1
- +1 for the brewers logo. don't care about the sportsball, but it's a dope mark! surprised they'd ever want to use the newer one(s)...jaylarson
- You can be a fan someone who excels at the very thing you yourself excel at or hope to one day. Can’t hate every fan.BrokenHD
- Fandom brings humans joy. Who are you to hate on fans anyway lol. I’m a fan of early mad magazine for example, what that make me?BrokenHD
- A cunt? Obviously I'm over generalising and talking about super fans... Obviously.********
- You know that rock n roll cliché where they turn the lights on the crowd? found ourselves playing with 90s indie bands recently and fuck me... this guy x 2000kingsteven
- it's real, too real. watching the interaction between fans and band members, fans listing off set lists to guys that require set lists.kingsteven
- every office has one, and they're all there... superfans are something else tho... was having a smoke with Peter Salisbury, who now drums for the Charlatans andkingsteven
- admittedly i'm a fan of because of his work with the verve. so a bit starstruck but chatting away and this lad walks over and starts chatting about tomorrowskingsteven
- show and all these technical details and i just assume he's crew. peter being the nicest dude ever turns to me 'yeah, WE were here', 'WE were there'...kingsteven
- bumped in to the same lad after the show outside and asked him something technical "oh, i'm not crew, just a fan"... mind blown.kingsteven
- I think it’s funny how fans are more loyal to a team and city than the actual players on the team, especially in US sports, where $ rules.monospaced

Styling inspiration by QBN. I just received a pair of geta shoes. Those japanese wooden shoes. I saw them in an illustration with a girl and an insane motorbike here on QBN. Don't ask me where. It was a damn cool illustration though. And I figured, I needed those crazy shoes.
Will use them in a commissioned shoot in two weeks.

Apparently there's a lot of people on SSRI moving ahead in the workforce.

My wife moved out for the weekend to let me remove all furniture from our home, so I have enough space to lay out 600 photo prints to create the selection and order of my new book.
I'm really thankful I have such a lovely wife. Now, I was working straight on this for 8 hours and have the order of pages set for round 1. Amazing how long this process takes. I excpect to be finished by May 30th...
- a few girls from COTD are in the photos as well :-)SimonFFM

- I winder if next time it might be easier to rent a space?monospaced
- I just don't understand your world at all.inteliboy
- I tried to rent a space, but didn't succeed. So my wife suggested to do it the way we did it now. She is in a hotel right now.SimonFFM
- @intelliboy It's not so different from other graphic design jobs.SimonFFM
- your wife must be the most secure person in the world and you guys must have a great relationshipfourth
- I think enjoys staying at a 5 star hotel and using all your credit cards :) Good that you had enough space to do this :)sted

Switched from DSL to cable modem today, bought my own modem and have gone from max 30mb/s with in close range to Wifi with Apple AirPort Extreme + Express configuration, to consistent 95-110mb/s across the entire house and basement with a Google WiFi mesh setup (3 of them).
Thrilled to be back at speeds I had when I last had a cable modem.
- Nice! We’ve got RCN here and I get a consistent 500mb/s without any fancy equipment. Just a last gen router & the modem our cable company gave us.monospaced
- Maybe I’m getting my m and M bits confused. Ran a test and it’s 150Mb/s which it says is fast. I download huge files at a faster rate so maybe I’m confusing itmonospaced
- can you connect a drive to the mesh? like you can with Extreme -- i have a Time Machine drive backing up 3 computersGnash
- 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/sdrgs
