Facebook support keeps sending me in a loop - has anyone else had the pleasure to experience 100% incompetence?
- FB's reaction to you trying to contact FB support: https://media.tenor.…Krassy

Made beef stroganoff for dinner tonight. I've only ever had the Hamburger Helper version, so I've always thought the original must be super fancy and complicated. Nope, dead easy.

Sweetest next door neighbor is leaving. Awesome artist too, ugh- going to miss having her around.
Other neighbors’ dog (of 7 in the building) has been yapping away for hours 2 floors away, and the girl upstairs can’t help but slam, drop, and stomp. Good for her though.
Thankful for shitty housing experiences; I will have a paid for private home of my own with land by the time I’m 50. Mark my words.

Just accepted a well paying position at an agency. It's been about 7-10 years since I've been in a staff position. But freelancing hasn't worked out for me lately and it's not the quality of my work. There's many factors like: most freelance gigs want me to be on-site and it has become too difficult to be just ready at any given moment and travel on short notice. Or not knowing when a next gig comes up and so on.
I will be financially better off now but I won't have so much free time anymore. It will be a bit difficult to adjust back into the "slave" mode like most people. But I shouldn't bitch & moan. Many people on this planet work a lot more for way less money and some have multiple jobs to put food on the table.
- Congrats.shapesalad
- You seem very interested in Money.robthelad
- Because I've had lack of it lately.NBQ00
- What's your yearly salary like? Can you share job description and salary?shapesalad
- Nope :) since you all didn't cooperate I won't either hehe. But the job position is art director & "chick of the day contributor"NBQ00
- What state?Hayoth
- hey I was honest... literally 10k this year... I did bum around and kinda take time out due to turning 40.shapesalad

Am I the only one annoyed that only 10% of the posts on "Meme of the day" are proper memes?
- I like Memes too.robthelad
- oh, it's all about mememe!microkorg

- @chukkaphob
I am not criticizing the quality of the "memes" only the misuse of the term.
Get hooked on phonics.******** - all goood, dude. It's just silly fun. Don't be so serious about this :)chukkaphob

Anyone use / try one of these as a wallet? (or something of the like?)
https://www.ridgewallet.com/coll…
I need a little more organization lately... CAN'T STAND a wallet as they usually throw my hip out / make sitting uncomfortable (always too bulky)
I just fear one of these might cut through my pocket / cut me...
- 'Minimally designed', eh? That's an interesting philosophy... .Nairn
- better: https://www.boozt.co…shapesalad
- ^ you put 1 credit card, 1 debit, 1 metro pass card, drivers id. Then coins, and folded notes in the zipped part. simples.shapesalad
- soft, so it doesn't cut pocket. slim, and slighter bigger than a credit card.shapesalad
- those fuckers costs 72 to 115 bucks? what?!?! looks like the mark up is about 500%pango
- i have this
https://www.weargust…dorf - Never put coins in a wallet ffs.monospaced
- I use a cheap plastic wallet for coins and bills and another slim wallet for credit, id and license... normaly get out with cash only, unless I take the carOBBTKN
- And if i put the small garage key on it, you get the super minimal get out setupOBBTKN

I want to vote for the green party candidate for my district tomorrow. SHould I even vote? I feel frivolous.
- vote, just do it.capn_ron
- Vote. But, let me share a little story. Election night, 2016. For weeks prior a 'friend' of mine said he'd be voting for the Green Party candidatehobgoblin
- and would talk endlessly on why whenever asked. "Hillary is evil", "Trump is an idiot", blah blah. So it's election night and I was unlucky enoughhobgoblin
- to be standing next to him when it was all but over, and Trump had won. He then explained, completely perplexed, "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?"hobgoblin
- this is my dude: https://stevegreenfi…********
- and without thinking I looked him dead in the eye and said "you voted for Johnson you dumb motherfucker!"hobgoblin
- we haven't spoken or seen each other since.hobgoblin
- I'd say do the right thing but this is a democracy. Vote for who you want.hobgoblin
- that didn't help at all.********
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is gonna be pissed at you!robotron3k
- I don't think she's on my ballot.********
- Write it in. Or write Darth Vader.pango
- fuck star wars********
- Pee wee was on my city council ballot...
Fucken Vancouverite...pango - fuck all this old pop culture shit********

Currently debating idealism vs realism in my voting patterns. Again. First time was in the last presidential election.
The country may or may not be too fucked up to vote on ideals.
I'm not sure.

Then again, the party duopoly is working as effectively as possible. The ruling class gets whatever they want, regardless, under this system.

A very friend just got engaged and her dad recently passed (I attended the funeral. I considered him a father, the friend a sister). Everyone in the family found out on facebook. My friend's fiance didn't bother to call her brother, the last namesake of the family or the surviving mother before he asked her. His excuse was that he didn't want anyone to spoil the surprise. But, who would do that? We all would have been super, super stoked and ready to celebrate after and let her have that moment. We all found out on facebook/instagram (parents and siblings included) and I was flooded with calls and texts from the family beside themselves about finding out the news that way.
My first thought was, although this was a moment between them, they were really rude about this. Especially in the wake of the deceased and the surviving family that would have wanted to be a part of it, might have flown out or planned something. Even if the guy didn't ask the family, for the girl to at least have told them first before posting it on social media would have been expected. Millennials...
She has now removed the posts from her instagram and facebook stories and their moment is kinda (self inflicted) ruined. I feel bad for her but also... (-____-) they never would have met each other if I didn't let her move into my apt for free for months after dropping out of college and letting her figure out what she wanted to do next where she met her now fiance on the job. I really would have thought she would have texted me at least but she hasn't said a word to me about it. I'm kinda hurt. This is a life changing moment I had a direct influence in creating for her. I'd have assumed I'd be a part of the wedding but now I sadly doubt it. I'd have liked to take a celebratory bow if only to run over some champagne to congratulate them both over the weekend. I thought we were close :'(
- She was not your very friend********
- Friends share their ups and downs together. I'm with set. don't think it's an millennial thing just a shitty thing to do.mugwart
- ultimately it's up to them. Maybe they didn't want to deal with the fuss after her dad passing. It wasn't just you they didn't tell, so don't take it personallyFax_Benson
- my best friend texted me to say he got married the previous week. That's how he chose to get married. Doesn't mean he doesn't like me.Fax_Benson
- at least that's what I'm telling myself.Fax_Benson
- Sometimes among all the pressures to do good by others, you want to do what you want. And sometimes you want things to be just yours, on a tiny scale.spl33nidoru
- You and family members might be upset of the way it happened, but your friends didn't actively do anyone harm, they did their thing.spl33nidoru
- :(pango
- hey, you avoided having to fork out for a wedding present they didn't want anyway.
:)
It's their call - find out the detail before taking it personallyNairn - ouch! but maybe they have their (weird or not) reasons, dunno...maybe it was an escape. I understand it might hurt and one gets pissed but just wait to see...********
- It may is a cultural thing, but here marriage is a thing for the two who get married in first place. We don't overrate it, you may shouldn't either.Longcopylover
- Its all about you isnt itcannonball1978
- we got married far away from family and friends, 3friends/witness were there. Some want their wedding to be about them only, not other people and festivities.dyspl
- the brother-calling piece is paternalistic and i think should stop happening. but you'd think they would have communicated something to someone pre-social mediasarahfailin
- She just set the pace for the direction your friendship will head after the marriage. Let her be, live your life.robotron3k
- sounds like someone whose father died and is acting out of character.inteliboy
- She was not your very friend

Was approached in the street yesterday to be asked if I was in a Rock band and if not would I like to be a singer.
I declined as I can't sing for shit but he offered to help teach. I'm desperate to finish my book and clothes project so I declined again....
Now sitting coding away at work I think I should have done it. Just for creative curiosity. Damn instant life decisions!
- Sounds like you avoided a buggering.Nairn
- Probably undercover recruiter from the Navy. yvan eht niojFax_Benson
- ^^ hahar Nairn my thought's exactly! I did grill him (with questions)
^ Fax, nar lot of my family cunts are from milliatry you can spot them a mile off.mugwart - https://www.youtube.…mugwart
- did he look like this? https://pmcvariety.f…hans_glib
- more this:
https://s14-eu5.star…mugwart - It's a trap! They're recruiting you for a gangbang gay porn movie... run fast now!OBBTKN
- ^ now you mention it his handshake did have a firm grip! Work is just a tad too far away from Old Compton Street so I think there are better areas to recruit!mugwart
- ths is bullshit********
- They were asking if you wanted to play Rock Band, not be in one.cannonball1978
- I guess in music, it’s all about what you look likeIanbolton
- were you walking around in the street singing & performing as if on stage? LOL. Why the hell were you approached?Krassy
- not bullshit doc. I was walking along with a friend and some guy stopped turned around and stopped me in my track.mugwart
- Krassy, no I wasn't doing anything like that, he just said I had that 'look'. Was the most flattering thing that happened to me in an while so sue me!mugwart
- no cannonball - I was very cynical and probably asked him that!mugwart
- thats weird, man.********
- "hey, man, join my band! you look so cool!"********
- "you dont know how to sing or write songs? doesnt matter. you look cool!"********
- ridiculous********
- You might have enjoyed the buggering.i_monk
- it was weird, but I respected his boldness but me on stage - nar. I also have a phobia for speaking so I'd fail flat. Vegan + T total != red neck rock!mugwart
- @i_monk, No! Whilst I enjoy challenging my unknowns, I have never had a desire for gay sex. No qualm with it, but I'm loyal to my lady so it would be rape.mugwart

I'm going to see Talib Kweli tonight, on my own. I'm (still) 42 and now have to go to gigs on my own because nobody likes music anymore
- I do, but like to sit down nowGardener
- Yeah, but most of my friends were like "Who's Talib Kweli, are they new?"Ianbolton
- @gardener. so true :) but it felt weird sitting at a buzzcocks show last yearGnash
- old of the day********

For the first time ever, my work is in 3 editions of Playboy in the same month: Germany (6 pages), Netherlands (8 pages) and Portugal (2 pages). And today Matador Magazine Germany came also out with 11 pages.
Not wanting to show off. I am just so happy to get this kind of exposure for my new coffee table book...

I love my workplace winter setup up in home because I don't go cold... but I miss the extra space of my studio's massive drafting table to put there the graphic tablet and Surface.
