Hi frens! I’m In Hamburg with my family for 5 days. Any tips / cool places to visit? Currently using Tripwolf, but I’m sure you sheeple know better.

Using "Daddy" in sexual scenarios really creeps me out. Even more so in recent years as a man who has two little sweethearts that call me by that name for real. I think it's an American thing. If my wife said "Fuck me harder daddy". I'd lose my boner for about 6mnths. What's the thinking behind it. Daddy is literally the worst person in the world you would ever want fucking you FFS!!?!?!

- same goes for all relatives, really.
uncle
grandad
etc
ewwFax_Benson - name-checking anyone specific is a bit weird. Needs to be a faceless authority figure. perhaps a tradespersonFax_Benson

- I think it's just sexual speak of teens and young "too cool for school" peeps. Doubt people over 30 really use it.NBQ00
- Defo a boner destroyer.
https://www.urbandic…PhanLo - You can blame that on porn, the cliché scenes of barely legal women having sex with men in their 30's, and fantasies of being dominated.Maaku
- Poignant. How many times have you called a lover "baby." Pfft.********
- Never called a girl baby, that's weird too.PhanLo
- yeah it's a little creepy but to each their own. No shame unless it's like... actually your daddy.ben_
- I had a 'girlfriend' years ago who always said, "harder cousin, harder". It really put me off until I realised he was my cousin. Joke obvs. yep agree, weird.fadein11
- Horrible pairing with the above thread.wordssssss
- I'm reminded of the scene with Charlize Theron in Monsterjaylarson
- I agree with you, we should stick with using Grandad only in the future :D it's a porn thing, you shouldn't watch that much.sted

how often do you guys have big nights these days? up past 1am... kinda wasted... chasing the dragon....

man I haven't really ran uncertainty train in a while. client asked for some video stuff, basic but i don't even remember the last and single time I used mocha....or shot video with my 6D and non existent lighting kit... decided fuck it I'll do up one on proof of concept (more for myself). but always nice to to remember that uncertainty from younger years and needing remembering ingenuity from high school in camera stop animation shit. gives you a little tingle in your nether regions. Think I go tit but shit man a 4K footage would be so much better.

I just survived the liquidation of my entire product team at the tech startup I work for... The Director of Product and our UX researcher were cut loose. I was the UX/UI designer on that team but my position is now a bit fluid at the moment. The reason I'm still standing is because of my past experience with advertising and marketing as a AD. It's kind of a weird place to be in. Has anyone else lived through this and more importantly continued to work long term at the same company?
- backstory: a consultant was brought in to streamline our tech ecosystem. He ended up pitching a product pivot and the CEO took it... using his 3rd party firm!brandonp
- you make it sound like 100 people were fired but in reality only 2?NBQ00
- Huge pivot, you're safe for 3 reasons. A) You are good worker, B) you are not political or C) you are very political.robotron3k
- I survived our XD team and visual design team being cut by half once, and all department heads let go. It was really weird.mg33
- yep just 3 on the prod team. Now it's just me. @robo, I'm guessing I'm here for reasons A&B. @mg33, it is very weird.brandonp
- Not only that, we also lost our president and vp and all department heads that day.mg33
- You were the only one there who actually did something. Hope that you have a good relationship with that consultantsted
- I and most of my colleagues were booted from my first job in LDN during the 00s net bubble - I hadn't worked a year there, so co. saved on redundancy fees.Nairn
- ..apparently I was still of some use though, because I went back to work freelance for them for a few months, earning more than I did prior - in fact, most I'dNairn
- ever made in that role before or since! Was strange though, as I was still working around a co. on edge, but was personalyl in a comfortable position.Nairn
- great insight @mg & Nairn. thanks! @Sted I'm now sitting next to the consultant. Gonna do some fishing and see where I can add some additional value...brandonp

I'm so close to finishing Sopranos, just a few episodes to go. I saw it all before when it was on but realizing now that I missed some episodes in the final season.
- it's so good! wish I could unwatch it in my mind and do it all over againKrassy
- Same with Krassy. Incredible on every front. The writing, the acting, the editing, the music selection. The Sopranos paved the way for long form TV.garbage
- @garbage +100Krassy
- Sopranos was a MAJOR milestone, TV is writer-driven and Chase's achievement significant:
https://www.vanityfa…******** - Same here, almost done with season 5, hadn't watched them since they aired. Amazing writing and acting, so much happens so quietly in each episode.spl33nidoru
- I find myself really liking some characters my 20 year younger self didn't care much for.spl33nidoru

I'm from Vancouver. I live in the Boston area now, making video games. (Well, working IT for a major AAA studio at least). I'm moving to the Seattle area in a few weeks, changing to a new studio. I'm looking forward to it but also freaked out, as I'm moving with a wife and three kids this time. Just wanted to share that with someone, because I can't really talk about it at work.
- Upvote for escaping Van City!robotron3k
- refugees are escaping , he is movin,, don´t u know the difference? anyway .. have fun seattle is a nice place..neverscared
- Where are you moving to in Seattle? Also my guess is Valve?garbage
- Seattle is great (and close enough to Vancouver (ha!)!)
Embrace the move. Get excited about it. You got this!Krassy - P.S. QBN support group has your back!Krassy
- Smart people around the world is moving to Cascadia, the best all-round place on the planet********
- Cascadia needs a better flag: https://upload.wikim…Krassy
- The new job isn't at valve, but there are a few others out there. Not gonna doxx myself just yet :)Nanocephalic
- Ha, it was my shot in the dark. Seattle proper or Bellevue? Please don't say Tacoma or Federal Way.garbage
- Nice one!stoplying
- Kenmore actually. Working in Bellevue.Nanocephalic
- Not feeling confident about it? Fake it. You'll be shocked how fine you'll be. Keep kicking ass and taking names.Gucci
- I've lived in Seattle since '97. I don't work for a game studio, but you may or may not be working with friends of mine.evilpeacock
- Ah, Wallingford here. There's a Seattle thread we could revive if you ever want any local knowledge.garbage
- Starter Pack: 1. Your commute will probably suck. 2. You don't have to pretend to like Dick's, but you do have to eat a bag of them once.garbage
- 3. Pike Place is a tourist trap, but they do have good produce out back.garbage
- 4. George's Delicatessen on First Hill. There's no seating, but just order a pastrami on rye with everything. It's the best.garbage
- You're gonna like it here, it's a great place.garbage
- I too am new to seattle, so I revived the thread. come have drinks!robotinc
- I’m in Seattle too and would be down for drinks.noRGB
- You have to eat a bag of dicks?Gnash
- https://www.ddir.com…garbage
- Bag of Deluxe Dick's.garbage
- ^ I love that there is a Seattle price and an Edmonds/Kent price, despite it only varying by 5-10 cents.monNom
- Yeah, what's the deal with the two prices?emphor
- Sticking it to those rich city folks, 5-10 cents at a time.monNom
- They got us.garbage

The new job is pretty sweet so far. I have an office. My first office ever. I should bring in a plant, right?
My job has two parts: listen to people complain about how things are done and advise/implement fixes for their terribly deficient production process; and do a complete audit of their brand and brand architecture and redesign the whole thing.
Hey, my door's always open.
- What's the sunlight situation? I'm kind of a plant fiend and yes you should get one.garbage
- Get a fern. They give off the most oxygenstoplying
- I'm thinking indicajaylarson
- lol @ jaygarbage
- A Peace Lilly is the best if you're thinking indoor air quality, but everyone has them.garbage
- I'd go for a Persian Shield, or if you have a window with plenty of light get yourself a Sarracenia purpurea.garbage
- Side note: Do we have a plant of the day thread?garbage
- pot plant, obviouslyGnash
- and congrats. well deserved.Gnash
- sarracenia purpurea... hmmm... I have a facebook image that's just right for you.Nanocephalic
- bah, i can't find it. Oh well, you'll have to wonder what it was... forever.Nanocephalic
- Having an office really highlights how stupid the whole open office space crap is, doesn't it?zarkonite
- This delivers! I'm going to get an aloe vera plant as I just witnessed first hand how even a second degree burn can be healed in hours. fucking pizza panjaylarson
- @jay Indirect light and water when the soil gets dry, probably every two weeks. If you don't actually use them it will get heavy and you'll be lousy with aloe.garbage
- No sunlight at all, unfortunately. The sole window looks into the corridor and the nearest windows are around obstructed corners or through other offices.i_monk
- i keep bidding on job lots of mad shit online from the auction house around the corner from my work, if i ever loose my job i'm gonna need a mover to come in.kingsteven
- Hmm. Either a snake plant or some type of fern.garbage
- A giant multi level venus fly trap, with enough traps that if they combined into one they could easily devour a human.mg33

Back from Alaska, It was hot, 84 on some days. permafrost is gone, waters rising, we had to move our cabin this year. there's no debate over climate change up there that's for sure.
- How easy was it to move the cabin?PhanLo
- serious question here, they don't doubt climate change, but are the majority of people up there trump supporters that you noticed?capn_ron
- their mostly republicans but where I was at the only radio station was NPR lol, they tend to lean to the left compared to republicans I've met in the lower 48moldero

Kinda trapped in Alaska... we are about an hour from Homer and need to get up to Anchorage for a late flight but there is a forest fire blocking our only highway out...
... guess I’ll just have to spend another day fishing and staring at real life Bob Ross paintings while avoiding moose and seeing how many eagles I can spot... not sure I can handle it. // :)
- awesome!! how do you have internetz?!?!?!
get dem kings!!!!moldero - don't eat salmon sashimi style, you'll notice when cleaning them their infested w/ worms in their guts (in the meat too, those worms will fuck your life up)moldero

Yes. Busted my ass yesterday and today to get new comps done for a client presentation, wrote notes, talking points, comped up what they actually need as food for thought for the future, even if their dev team can't implement right now. Basically twice the work at a reasonably rushed pace to be ready for a 2:30pm meeting.
Then double-checked my calendar, and that meeting isn't even until tomorrow... today's meeting is an internal check-in. First damn time I'll have been DONE with a ton of work a full day before it's due. VICTORY.
- There should be an app for this, would be brilliant for people (such as myself) motivated to work at the last minute.Nairn
- when I studied architecture before changing majors, we had a rule that the due date was always 48 hours before the actual due date. So, if shit really wentmg33
- off the rails, we still had 2 days of buffer.mg33

First time for everything, like making a complaint to HR about having to listen to a female coworker openly ask people "what's wrong with my asshole?!?!" then going on and on about "why am I pooping so much?" and telling everyone how much it burns.
- I hope your complaint was "I'm TheGreatGlorpo! That's my job!"garbage
- you couldn't just talk to her?monospaced
- you couldn't just offer her evil advice?Nairn
- you couldn't just say "your a-hole is blown out, quit complaining Karen"!capn_ron
