Geebus Christ guys! I connected to the QBN only 2 times in 3-4 days, both times was today and only spend 3-5min scrolling around, i dont have a lot of time atm. But whats happening in here!? We seems to be in a crisis or something. We need to get our shit togheter. We're an old web community, and thats precious, really. We really should think twice before insulting and bullying each other in here, we should all be friends actually and support each other.
Come on guys! We're all in our late 30's and 40's now, we're no kids anymore.
- Like no one.monospaced
- is disagreement really 'bullying'? I see no bullying, bennnnn but merely folks sharing a different view of which folks get offended and instead of...PonyBoy
- ... having a conversation of disagreement they're choosing to run away because they feel attacked... all cuz someone else sees something from a different angle.PonyBoy
- You have trolls on both sides... and often those 'trolls' still contribute... it's the way this community has always run—just lately some folks can't handle it.PonyBoy
- Probably cuz we're all getting old and having things stressing is out. And don't want to take more crap from internetpango
- i think pango is right on here. We have problems outside QBN and we want to have fun in here, we dont want to argue with our internet friends on top of thatBennn
- I agree with PonyBoy.monospaced

It's kind of sad to see how unhappy some are with QBN posts. I can fully relate. But I believe, it isn't QBN specific. It's the way we live with media nowadays. We live in constant overstimulation. The amount of 'news' is higher than what our brain is able to take. And as negative news always get more attraction than positive news, negative outnumbers positive.
I also wish to see more of the works of QBN people, because I believe there are highly skilled and talented people here. Maybe just put bullshitting aside a bit and move on.
For me, it helps that I am in a different time zone (Germany). When the discussions get hot, I rest in bed for a good night sleep.
Cheers!
- I stopped posting my work probably over 10 years ago because those of whom disagreed w/me politically would react to my work rudely... disgustingly...PonyBoy
- ... simply because we had an internet tiff. Others would be less foul but still rude w/ comments like "it's a shame you're a dick" (meaning they don't see...PonyBoy
- ... 'eye to eye' w/me... so I must be a "dick" which made sharing my work a waste of time.PonyBoy
- Before speaking my political opinions (of which I'm usually in the minority on a lot of my views) I was respected for the work I produced...PonyBoy
- ... after a few heavy arguments / conversations in threads in which the 'other side' of the conversation was just as passionate about their views...PonyBoy
- ... that respect disappeared. It got really mean at times... and that just got old so I stopped sharing.PonyBoy
- Kev, you're a pussy ;POBBTKN
- That's one of the nicest things someone's said to me in some time! <3
( ˘ڡ˘ )PonyBoy - I know, i know...OBBTKN

Do brands take Instagram seriously still? There's so much nonsense I see when managing an apparel account.
Maybe they need to clean up their following.
All I see is horribly cropped memes and a mountain of wasted time.
- i was thinking about this yesterday. I really can't think of a brand i follow that i am inspired by. Artist/photographers are still what i'm liking on IGcapn_ron
- IG is HUGE! all eyes on it. Millions of eyeballs per second of UNDIVIDED attention. It's solid.Krassy
- I've lost faith in it...canoe
- huge. facebook inc. is essentially the largest media company.showpony
- A good mate’s ex has transmogrified into an IG guru and at the same time, an insufferable wanker.MrT
- ...and highly addictive. Never before have we had such engaging platform perfect for UNDIVIDED-attention advertising.Krassy

To friend and foe:
Be the change you want to see. This is the beauty of a community. If you see a community lacking in positive things, contribute those things. Be the harmony you desire.
That is all.

45 years old, and I'm _still_ making rookie dating mistakes.
Weeks back, I met a woman I was *really* into. So, like the gormless numpty/emotional teenager that I am, what do I do? Instead of playing it cool, I come in way too hot; fawning over here, drowning her in compliments, texting her daily, the lot.
Net result: she got spooked, and isn't interested anymore (she hasn't said as much, but her actions say everything they need to say).
Now — in my defence — I hadn't dated in over five years, on account of being in a 5-year relationship up until October last year, and I'm pretty fucking rusty.
But still ... ugh.
So, now I'm going NC, and we'll see if that draws her out (I'm not holding my breath).
- I AM N00B.Continuity
- I hear it's all about sending dick pics these days - perhaps give that a shot or six?Nairn
- Not with my wee willy, I don't!Continuity
- hey, you've got to hide your love awaysarahfailin
- this was advice I got from my female cousins: "gils are like stamps, the more you spit on them the better they stick"_niko
- as horrible as this might sound, ghost her for a while. she'll miss your attention. might work for a reset.sea_sea
- Play it cool. Man.pango
- thing is, if she was just as into you then she would have loved that attention. It's ok to not play it cool and be how you feel.Gnash
- Listen to Corey Wayne on YouTube, his stuff works and deals with situations like this...robotron3k
- what sea_sea said... OR don't play games with women who don't like how you treat them. find someone who likes you for youimbecile
- You're dating. So there will be games. Play the games. When you stop dating, stop playing the games. Also what Seasea said.cannonball1978
- Thanks, folks.
Yeah, I'd decided I was going to do no contact/ghost her. If for no other reason that I see no point in investing for no return.Continuity - If and when she contacts u because she'll wonder where u are. Just say something like sorry I came on strong, but I couldn't help myself you're gorgeous. Swoon.sea_sea
- ;) good luck.sea_sea
- Haha, sea_sea knows what's what. ;)Continuity
- Totally feel you man. It's a mind field. I've done the same thing so many times now that I even gave up on dating last year.Ianbolton
- Then realised most people have multiple dates on the go and just pick their favourite. I couldn't deal with that. I just wanted to meet someone new.Ianbolton
- Let us know how you get on, but try not to overthink stuff mate.Ianbolton
- Live stream it...pango
- Just stop thinking you need someone else to validate you. Then you'll be healthier.robthelad

Anyone ever thought to legally change their name to their nickname?
Like if you're Joseph but always go by Joe.
- promised myself that if i have to move to Oslo I will change my name sted davidsted
- I knew a guy that changed his name to Mark Dark.PhanLo
- haha. what was it before?Fax_Benson
- My parents would go apeshit if I ever shortened it from Facsimile.Fax_Benson
- In Norwegian sted means placedrgs
- He changed it again Fax, not to his original one, but his graffiti name. It was just a normal second name before. Quite a bit of effort though. Gothy.PhanLo
- In the USA you can do it for free when you marryrobotron3k
- I'm thinking of changing my name to Lewis to honor my late father but I know that anyone who calls me Shellie will never call me that.shellie
- No way. Pango is a stupid name. Literally took right from a t-shirt.pango

I made an anonymous Gmail address for a job I'm trying to fill and now it blocked me out and needs phone verification.
What can I do besides give my real number?
- https://grabfone.com…Gnash

- What.... I have so many Gmail accounts none requires a phone number.
(They did ask, but not required)pango - ^ are you an escort?Gnash
- Lol no I just have different emails for signing up different stuffs.pango
- You're trying to hack another person's email address aren't you? They'll send you the pills you need if you just ask.robthelad

I can't take this gig - as I'm booked till next year, but glad to introduce you to the HR gal.

New dude and I are getting kind of serious. I like him soooo much. I'm moving out of my apt on the 15th and haven't secured a new house yet. Yesterday he said I could stay with him if I wanted which could be kind of nice to spend March together and save money. He's about to travel for 4 months, me for 2 months leaving around the same time. Like my old dude, he also tours a lot but much bigger arena tours. How do I keep dating guys like that? I'm not even trying I swear on God.
I'm currently traveling and last night at like 4am he calls me upset about something unrelated to me. I was touched that he wanted to talk to me when he needed support and I was happy to be that person for him. I get home tomorrow morning at 1am and all I want to do is go straight to his house but I should probably just go home. I've only been officially single since December and should slow down. But, our travel schedules are really accelerating things. He also could be *the one* smh idk. (---___---) How do you know when to just let the tide take you and stop fighting it? I wasnt expecting to fall into something so fast.
- Just roll with it and enjoy the ride! Good luck!thumb_screws
- December was last year... so it's been a year. Ride the wave.Gnash
- really don't think there is a guide line for this. just do whatever feels right.pango
- Slow and steady wins the race (aka, don't lose yourself too soon).robotron3k
- I had a girl move in with me within three months of starting going out. biggest mistake I ever made - we're still together 5 years later.Nairn
- @Gnash: December was only two months ago ...Continuity
- i think it's different for everyone, and there's no hard/fast answers to that question. If the feeling is there, pursue it, nurture it, and don't be afraidexador1
- to trust your instincts. I met my wife when I was 21, and she had just turned 19. We were both in university, working at a theme park together at the same time.exador1
- and (for me) i just knew she was the one. Almost instantly. I just knew. That was 26 years ago now.exador1
- 6 and a half years of dating, now now this summer will be our 20th wedding anniversary.exador1
- my advice would be to trust yourself, and go with your instincts. and TAKE THE TIME!... no need to rush into anything, take the time to truly get to know himexador1
- What Nairn said.imbecile
- My wife tells me she knew within days of meeting that we were meant to be, that was 16 years ago. Just go for it, all in, life is for the living, etc. ;)zarkonite
- this rise is nice but if u quickly break up and it happens again i would be more worried cuz thats a weird pattern. wut********
- My wife had this rule that she would never live with someone until she was engaged... It seemed silly to me, but I guess it worked because she got a ringmonNom
- out of it!.
It pays to be a little hard to get. People don't value what they don't have to work for.monNom - Just do what feels good. There's enough shit around us to limit the good things that come to us. Flow. Xosea_sea
- Also, sorry to break it to you, but "the one" can turn into the 2 or 3. That idea we only find one person screws with our heads. Just flow and have a good time.sea_sea
- monNom: I disagree, I love free shit! The easier the better. This life is short, and you only get one, so there's no time to waste with protocol IMHO.zarkonite
- Sea Sea you're 1000% right.shellie
- whatever you do - its the right way for you. you will find out if you walk your path. hope it works out for you and he feels the same like you.api
- ultimately it's about both of you finding each other in the same heart space. what works now might not later and vice versa enjoy the good things, be happy. <3sea_sea
- does he have steak subscription?pango
- I was single less than a month when I met my wife who I’ve been with almost a decade. You never know!noRGB
- your wife noCMYK?pango
- what a great problem to have :) if he's the one, he'll stick around even if you take your time.sarahfailin

A few weeks ago someone posted a video of the samples that are used in The Avalanches "Since I Left You". I've been obsessed and as a result of that obsession, made a YouTube playlist of most of the standout tracks.
