Yuval Noah Harari...."As of January 2019, he does not have a smartphone."
- oh, it only took him 10+ years to get rid of it? i never had one. by choice.renderedred
- you were cooler before he became cool. LOL!Krassy
- sure i was :)renderedred
- for real. i had an opportunity to see some development prototypes pretty early and that is why i made a decision to not own a smartpohone.renderedred
- what were the reasons that made you say "nah, i'm good" 10 years ago? I mean, today there are many reasons why, but 10 years ago?Krassy
- as i said, i saw some prototypes that were really all about surveillance so i decided to stay with my old nokia.renderedred
- but as you said (originally), you didn't mention the prototypes were really all about surveillance :)Krassy
- ah, ok :) i'm old i forget...renderedred

Just drove 385km to site for work, stayed there for 8h and then drove the 385km back home.
Longest commute I have done, glad I get to charge for mileage.

So when a recruiter sends a message on LinkedIn to you that starts:
—
Dear [insert your name],Dear [insert someone else’s name,]
I came across your profile online...
—How snide should one be in explaining to that recruiter how not to copy/paste the same generic message to multiple people that includes other people in the salutation?

Is graphic design just a subset of web/UI design now? Is this why I can't get hired?
- Nope.monospaced
- Guess I'm just shit then.i_monk
- Nah! Doubt it.monospaced
- Seriously considering changing your title to UI designer. The graphic design title is irrelevant today.utopian
- I had a couple friends recently change their title, tweaked some language in their resume to reflect a "UI designer role" and got hired.utopian
- I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling to find meaningful work :(utopian
- People seem to hire specialist, at least in title.robotron3k
- Visualdesigner is how I roll mostly nowadays.dpi
- We (also) live in a physical world. Tons of stuff needs designing.jagara
- I don’t get this at all. Graphic and UI/UX are interchangeable? Not different skill sets? Signs I’m old? Sign that UI/UX is just piffle?MrT
- Totally different. Our team of designers are all graphic all day and we don’t touch websites. Ever.monospaced
- phew. Not just me then!MrT
- It seems 9/10 jobs adds want someone who's an expert at UI, but also branding and identity and print and so on.i_monk
- I'd swear there was a time when you specialized in web OR you did branding and print stuff. Now you need both just to get in the door.i_monk

How difficult it is to try to talk to someone who does not listen...
- And does not respondOBBTKN
- I need to go back to school and re-learn my communication skillsOBBTKN

- Too much beer, piss and to bedOBBTKN
- Don't piss the bed. Please.PhanLo
- No Phan, ever doneOBBTKN
- Start by (really) listening to them, without interruptions. THEN ask them intently to listen to you without interruptions. It usually works. Rinse and repeat.jagara

You guys. Seriously, watch the Leaving Neverland docu. Two episodes 2 hrs each then watch the Oprah interview afterwards. There is no doubt anymore it’s fucked up. Only people defending him now haven’t watched the docu or are just plain in denial.
The whole experience of watching this becomes more than about MJ, it’s more about our society and the way victims of pedaphelia live out their lives.
Truly eye opening. I removed all MJ music from my library. :(
- Not to his excuse his actions, sexually abuse by his brothers while on tour was know, making him lose his virginity to a hooker in front of them, at 10 yrs oldrobotron3k
- I’m sure there are plenty of reasons why he became attracted to little boys.HijoDMaite
- I wonder who created this movement to dig up our idols, shame, erase & rebury. Its like there is a desires to take revenge on pop culture history-but to what enrobotron3k
- d?robotron3k
- I can only assume the media companies found content great fodder for clicks, people happy to give interviews, do more crowdfunding, etc. People are making $robotron3k
- Very sad though... Even though people can be exceptionally talented, it doesn't mean that their nice.robotron3k
- As horrible as his live and actions were, it doesn’t change the fact his music was amazing. Won’t stop listening to and enjoying it.monospaced
- lol at removing his music wtfset
- Right? As if listening to MJ is the same as defending pedophilia.monospaced
- Pedophiles love MJ's musicutopian
- set have you watched it?HijoDMaite
- It's sad that such a great artist was so fucked up. At the same time the parent's been also to blame. Probably enjoyed the $$ and trips.NBQ00
- Dunno, I am torn on the boycotting music because of the actions of the artist.formed
- They can't be separated, though. If he had been stopped much of his fame/music would never have happened....formed
- OMG, movie fucked my head up! I won't think of MJ the same, and don't have a desire to bump his tunes after watching.davey_g
- So was Billie Jean his lover or what?microkorg
- so you guys gonna boycott his music?pango
- Music boycott will undo the sexual abuse and make everyone feel better. We need to punish that dead mandrgs
- Haven’t seen it but is it too one sided? Why now? Are they looking to cash out? Any merit to what south park claims?_niko
- You can’t seperate the art from the artist. It’s the same as seperating someone from their actions. So it’s ok to excuse a pedo because they wrote thriller?thumb_screws
- Talent gives you get out of jail card? Fuck that.thumb_screws
- Hitler was a great public speaker.
lolpango - cretinsdrgs
- His music was shite. He's one of the most overrated performers in our lifetime.
Quincy Jones helped make some good tunes with him, but his own stuff was turds.PhanLo - We have always known how deeply sick and warped this man was. In ten more years another doc will reveal more....futurefood
- .... but boycotting the music is just dumb. Off the wall, ooo what an album. PYT tho, maybe I’ll stay away from that one.futurefood
- I haven't watched the doc but I always just assumed he was a raging pedo. That doesn't make one bit of difference to me enjoying his music thoughset
- Why the fuck would it...? If you like his music you like his music, it isn't connected to pedophilia in any way in my mind. Don't get it.set
- I mean who or what exactly do you think benefits from you not listening to his music? I'd say get over yourself, lolset
- @thumb_screws I'd suggest you're too stupid to realise not one single person is giving him a pass because he was a talented artistset
- How you even come to that conclusion in your mind is so far beyond my comprehensionset
- If he was alive and people boycotted buying his music, I'd understand, but the cunt is long dead, his music is some of the best humanity has ever createdset
- Deleting his music negatively affects no one on the planet accept yourself. Well done! Give yourself a pat on the back.set
- He did get a free pass @set. That many people were making money of him they turned a blind eye. Same thing with r.kelly, Roman Polanski...thumb_screws
- I find it weird that as a society we allow people to be awful under the guise of creativity.thumb_screws
- What set saidmonospaced
- And once again, if someone continues to wnjoy his music it is NOT giving pedophilia a pass. What a dumb line of logic.monospaced
- this is me trying to understand the reason people understand. perhaps people are trying to not set an example ofpango
- "in order to be great, it's accepted to be a horrible human being"pango
- ughhh i can't think linearly
*this is me trying to understand the reason people delete his music.pango - If the quality of his music does not excuse the paedophilia, the paedophilia does not take away from the quality of his music.deadsperm
- If the work and the faults can't be valued separately then the quality of the work should lessen the gravity of the fault or even cancel it out.deadsperm
- I don’t like MJ, but 7 years ago, the lead singer from a band I avtually like tried to kill his wife. He has sentenced to 6 years. I never stopped listening tomaquito
- ..his music. What I think makes MJ’s case more debatable, is that he liked to fuck little boys. I’m not sure if I would stopmaquito
- If you automatically have the image of him fucking a child when you hear the first bars of Billie Jean I can understand you not wanting to listen to his music.deadsperm
- ..listening an artist I like if this happened. I think I wouldn’t, but I definitely would think of him/her fucking little boys to the beat.maquito
- But you're not really boycotting his music, you're just refraining from having paedophilic thoughts.deadsperm
- ..unless realizing that I have a great capacity to tolerate pedophilia, and that
It does not bother me so much, makes me more into the artist in questionmaquito - Which I hope never happens. To anyone. Ever.maquito
- I was never a fan. Growing up in the late 70s early 80s you couldn’t escape his family’s music but I was more into rock and punk...fooler
- I won’t watch the show because I was never a huge fan and I have 2 young boys of my own and watching that stuff as a father is creepy and infuriating.fooler
- Although I didn’t think you should ban his music. If that’s the case they should ban Gary Glitter, Jerry Lee Lewis, LED Zepplin and countless other artists.fooler
- To be fair his early stuff was his best stuff, while he was wacko jacko the pedo his music sucked anyway so I have no problem not listening to it_niko

- ^ The way Jackson's fans behave is the same as Catholics or Christians in general react about child abuse. His fanbase is a bit religious.PhanLo
- That mom should be arrested, no? She knew.Hayoth
- Same thing with religion. No reason to stop practicing a religion just because some assholes somewhere are being pedos.monospaced
- It’s possible and necessary to separate faith and corruption, make god personal blah blah. Same with MJs music and his private life we just learned more about.monospaced
- With Catholicism it went right to the Pope. God was probably in on it too, having a mad fury wank watching from heaven.PhanLo
- Never imagined I'd plus one dead sperm, but... +1 deadspermset
- I'm just here to expose the logic.

Who here eats McDs?
- Yeah an occasional guilty pleasure and had a few more than I should a month or so ago during/after the birth of #2 child.microkorg
- Was doing lots of runs to and from hospital to see the wife and the new one and macD's was enroute.microkorg
- Maybe once or twice a year, in an emergency or when my daughter really insistsdmay
- when im on the road and really just want something quick to eat.pango
- After I've been painting the McDonalds fries are great for taking the oil based paints off my hands. Hate to think what it does to my insides.PhanLo
- on some rare nights my wife will crave their 2 cheeseburger meal... so of course I have to get one too. Maybe once every 2 months- if that.PonyBoy

- Lol PhanLo for real?Salarrue

- Maybe once or twice a year on a road trip.fooler
- Whenever I've worked late and it's the only hot food available on my way home.
A fresh quarterpounder's ok, if eaten within seconds of preparation.Nairn - @Salarrue yeah man, there's two walls we used to paint fairly regularly, both had a McD's nearby. it's like using WD40 to clean spraypaint.PhanLo

- In NYC there's no reason to; It offers no incentive other areas have. As a result we only eat it on the very rarest of lazy, stoned occasions. Once a year maybemonospaced
- I recall grabbing a breakfast at an airport on a work trip. It was a salty, greasy letdown for the price. I don't think they even cook anymore. WTF.monospaced

First nice day of the year to go cycling, and I'm sick. Fucking party at work on Friday, and I obviously ate some food someone coughed on. Haven't had my ass kicked by a cold like this in a long time.

My wife and daugthers hate it, it's a first gen Multipla, you know, the ugliest car in the world, but it's engine is very reliable, very confy, fun to ride, cheap to mantain...
And yes, I love it, it was very well designed for it's function and I'm not going to retire it until the pistons fly out of the cylinder head!!
