    What is it again here? Didn't follow qbn for a few days and now I come back to underage birth shit, the darkweb assthread and this transcendental bs.

    Seriously, get your stupid shit togehter and stop polluting everything I love with all that crap. Better sit your ass down and work. Pls fill the recent work and latest pics thread with content instead of shitting all over the place.

    Jeesus Christ. Can we please stop new members from posting until certified? Or close registration at all?

    Some posts are difficult to upvote or downvote.

    For example, in the RIP thread, do you upvote to express respect for the person, or do you downvote to express dislike of the news?

    • I've upvoted, then immediately thought "wait, I shouldn't be upvoting their death"Krassy
    • ...then downvoted, but then immediately thought "crap, I'm downvoting a person I respect"Krassy
    • and then I can't take it all back and get back to neutral. It's a catch 22 at that point.Krassy
    • be happy they have passed to a better placeimbecile

    • Interesting, the UX market is maxed out in NYC...robotron3k
    • Actually I think the agency owner would not mind anyone who would be up for moving to NYC, this would be great jump off point, so they open to discussion...robotron3k
    • Yes my parter and I proto in Invision. Just did UX for a big education platform. LMK.shellie
    • And did it as white label services for another, bigger, Mid Western agency. We are now their overflow ninja team.shellie

    • Thanks Robo, I have a meeting set up for tomorrow. :Dshellie

    This summer I bought a new skateboard and a fishing rod for myself. I go skating and fishing with my boys after I get home from work. The joy of pushing and just carving big turns is so great - and the thrill of reeling in a 13 inch large mouth bass on a rubber worm is fantastic.
    What a good summer it's been!

    An acquaintance of mine texted me asking if I had bought Michael Jackson's ‎– HIStory - Past, Present And Future - Book I for 0,50€...yes, 50 cent.

    I replied no, it costed me 25 cent.

    He asked if I wanted to sell it cause it's the only record missing in his collection.

    I replied you can have it, I'm not such a big fan though it's awesome music and people like to hear some MJ tunes in parties.

    I replied he would give me 100€...
    I asked seriously? I give it to you!
    He told me it can cost up to 400€...
    I told him he could have it and if he wants to give me money it's his choice...
    We have a deal.

    Now the thing is, I practically always check the records I buy in Discogs and add them to my collection...but the records of this batch, 30 records for 6€ I didn'y have time or interest.

    The MJ record I just put in a corner to take sometimes to parties...
    I didn't gave it so much importance.

    I really don't care.

    He asked if I was sure that I don't want to sell it in Discogs cause I'm actually broke and I told him that I would be very happy with the hundred bucks...and that no way I would put it to sell after this conversation.
    I just told him to do what he feels right.

    So in the end both of us are happy cause he gets the record that was missing in his collection and I get 100€ to spend on more records that are more of my interest.

    Now I smoke a joint and go sleep.

    Artichoke is a delicious bar food: when eating steamed artichoke with pals and whoever, does anyone else believe only those that eat (scrape) the leaves are allowed to participate in eating the heart? I see causal grazers and the like as freeloaders...

    i love the fact that jadey29 stumbled across a 13 year old thread on a website that can't have anything to do with here day-yo-day life, went to all the trouble of registering with it simply to post one ranty complaint only to disappear again.

    deep down, i suspect she's not real and it was actually the doing of a (albeit creative) qbn troll, but you never know.

    Mate has managed to snaffle tickets for me to Queens of the Stone Age doing an acoustic set in the Nolan Gallery at MONA in Tasmania. It's an amazing space and only holds around 300. Mark Lanegan is touring Australia at the same time so fingers crossed he comes out with them. Pretty chuffed.

    This is not my story but thought this needs to be shared.

    Guy from Brooklyn...
    I am about to tell you an epic tale about subterfuge, dating in the 21st century and the fall of human civilization. This actually happened to me and it could happen to you too. Get some popcorn. *Thread*

    So a few weeks ago I was on the Tinder machine shopping my soul around and I match with a very attractive young lady. No bio. Fairly innocuous.
    I message her some random shit and we chat for an hour or so and she says "here's my number text me" I'm like okay sure thing.
    I text her n we make small talk abt work for a bit then she goes, "actually, I have this huge presentation Im workin on for my job, would you be offended if I got back to you in like a week or two when Ive got more free time? Youre cute and I want to meet you Im just too busy rn"
    I thought well that's an overly elaborate way to ghost someone. I say "lol I wouldn't be offended, I totally get it. Hit me up when you're free"
    She says "thank you, I was worried you would think I was trying to blow you off haha but for sure I'll text you in like a week, I'm excited" in my head I'm like sssssssuuuuurrrreeee I respond "
