I've been on QBN for 15 years. I've gone through ups and downs in my participation (I've been almost non-existent on here for the past 7 years since being a mum) but I love this place so much.
That is all.

Any of you paying $5K-7K and upwards for your apartments?
- A month? What are you living in, a castle?PhanLo
- Yes a month. Just curious if any peeps in NYC or SF do so.NBQ00
- A 3 bdrm is may $6k if you're dumb. May as well get a mortgage.freedom
- yeslvl_13
- 5-7k? Fuck me, where do you live where it's that expensive?Continuity
- 2 bedroom with parking/close to BART and within a desirable hood is $5k and up.lvl_13
- ^ in SF.lvl_13
- o_O
And I thought Munich was eye-wateringly expensive ...Continuity - But everyone thinks that in you live in NYC or SF that you earn at least 200k a year.utopian
- NYC has housing options, SF not so muchrobotron3k
- Hell yeah, 190k a year plus benefits, motherfucker.DRIFTMONKEY
- yeah, it sucks. and the hoops developers need to jump through to get projects approved are insane. takes forever for anything to get built.lvl_13
- in NYC, lots of people pay $5-$7k per month for 2-3 bedroomsmonospaced
- Doesn't matter the amount you pay, it's the % you pay in relation to your pay net tax. I'm in LDN paying 50% in rent. Sucks. Prefer to pay 33% or less.shapesalad
- why not take a loan from a bank and own it yourself?? meh because you are a yay hooray assfuct!! :P pay your life away dummy!!e-pill
- i've been summoned!!o_O
- Why dont you find a 1000$ apt and save the extra 6K and retire quickly?Bennn
- Those don’t necessarily exist.monospaced
- stay the fuck there. dont need any more immigrants to nevada. or when you realize the state is fucked move to texas.deathboy
- We lived in Park Slope Brooklyn, had a 2 bed, 1 bath, garden apt. private backyard, washer dryer in-unit, and paid $3,600/month.bulletfactory
- @bullet, that apartment goes for $5k+ nowmonospaced
- Depends on how many rooms (NYC here)notype
- @mono - depends. They certainly can. But we only moved at the end of last year. Our upstairs neighbors moved down into our for the same price we were paying.bulletfactory
- I was trying to find a place in Park Slope at the end of last year, with two real bedrooms. I found nothing that was livable below $5,000.monospaced
- Anything under that was either a shithole or didn't have any real living space. Or it was a 3 floor walkup.monospaced
- Definitely feel you mono - We totally lucked out in our 2 last places - 5th st btwn 8th ave and PPW we swooped in and snagged before an open housebulletfactory
- Great place, garden apt w/d but 1.5 bedrooms - lived there 5 years, (2,800/month that gradually rose to 3,200) had twins, things got tight.bulletfactory
- Next place 12th st (btwn 8th ave and PPW) we found out about from tenant before it was on the market from park slope parents group. Super lucky (but expensive).bulletfactory

Got an email from Adobe saying I'm not authorised to use anything but the latest version of Creative Cloud or I face legal action. WTF!
- it's probably a scam, but if not, then
FUCK ADOBEhans_glib - ya, don't click the linkGnash
- No, it's a thing:
https://dazwallace.w…Nairn - ^ thanksGnash
- It seemed genuine to me?
It does state that I am liable to prosecution from third parties. Which suggests they lost licensing for a feature in old versions.Hayzilla

How many gigabytes or terabytes does your personal data count? You know, all your data you wouldn't want to delete on your computer (pictures, creations, musique, movies, etc)
I personally have 790Gb of data plus 3Tb of movies and tv series files for a total of 3,79Tb of data.
I think I should make a big cleanup, I'm keeping files since my first computer back in 1997, so many accumulated things.
- 6GBdrgs
- just 6gb ?Bennn
- I don't store music or movies, I've trimmed everything only to files I cannot get anywhere elsedrgs
- Nice!Bennn
- 17gb. Half of it I don't need.set
- clean that up, set. Make sure there's no sensitive data for when Huawei will hack you thru your phone ;-) ;-)Bennn
- Bennn, did you count the farm pr0n?futurefood
- 11/12TB including 15 years clients files, many TB of photography (mine), 3TB music/movies.DarkCover
- My pops is a little more than amateur photog though he doesn't sell/print. maybe $50k in gear and have 15TB+ in just photos
backs up his drobo to another droboDarkCover - Especially now that cameras spit out 100MG plus shots.DarkCover

it's kinda fucked up you guys will steal from the forum that gives you a place to hang out. all it takes is asking permission. it's sad you guys have a litany of excuses for what you know amounts to theft.

Caught my young cat for the first time with a half dead/alive bird, one of those that I felt a connection to in my yard. :( I know it's silly and the circle of life blah blah blah still can't help feel sad that I couldn't do anything to rescue it, which I have in the past. I live with murder kitty. :/
- cats kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds very year. Just in the usaGnash
- if you include other animals, that number goes up to 20 billionGnash
- The most adorable killing machine.
Awwwwwwpango - My cats killed some birds past year, zero until now, the birds are evolving and inproving their survival skills, I hope...OBBTKN
- Zero until now, this year...OBBTKN

The 5G thread is turning this place into infowars / Facebook / YouTube conspiracy comment central. Signs your getting old...

Gorgeous morning, while finishing up a run, saw my neighborhood crush at the park this morning. Might be all in my head but we definitely exchanged glances but were so far away + so crowded w/ a charity run about to start and she was about to start her own run. Stayed cool... so close.

Can someone give me the CliffsNotes on the 5G and Midlife Crisis threads?
Are we all going to die next year?
Have been meaning to read both threads and comment notes, but at this point I feel like I'm way behind (just like with Games of Thrones -- I haven't watched a single minute of it yet)
- I'm on the same page, sounds like something i should know about.
Minus the GOT, get with it krassy. lolsea_sea - haha! I know, I know! You're right to GOT-shame me! :)Krassy

I'm bad at staying in touch with clients.
I'll get hired a do a job and when it's over, it usually feels over. Whenever I ask if there will be more work, the answer is always vague.

As I said recently I'm quitting my job in the creative/ ad industry in next few months.
I'm thinking of being extra cocky at work to my female boss who's also a creative director.
Not in a rude way, just want to see her a bit perplexed and surprised :)
What do you think is the best way to do so?
- Sounds childish. Just leave. I was told never to be a dick to people on your way up or out because you never Kermit who you'll cross on the way down.shellie
- You never *know.
Don't listen to evil Kermit.shellie - No not be a dick or rude. Just a bit cocky and subtle funny remarksNBQ00
- NBQ00 listen to shellie, it isn't worth it....
i actually did the ugly version :) called the ceo a drugaddict whore held out by the owner :)sted - and told her "bestie" who was an account that she is just friendly because this way you tell her everything about the coworkers.sted
- all of it really nice and loud, paying attention that lots of people can hear :Dsted
- LISTEN TO SHELLIE!pango
- lol ok :)NBQ00
- Don't stew in sarcasm, or leave her "perplexed" as you say; she will read it as resentment. It will be plain as day. Be kind to people.notype
- But if you are 10, then act 10.notype
- So you want to Brexit it?i_monk
- notype, I didn't want to be rude to her or unkind in any way. More like a different type of cockiness.NBQ00
- Idk I hate cocky dudes so I can see myself holding on to that last impression if I ever crossed you again.shellie

is anyone else having trouble accessing the QBN main menu ??
- They removed it so people wouldn't be triggered by controversial topics and focus on topics of their interest only.deadsperm
- where did it go?inteliboy
