I want to quit my job and become an artist.
- but you're already an artist.pango
- And just make art full time.bainbridge
- Are you in debt? Wife? kids?... If not, go for it, get an easy job for don't starve, live on cheap and live for your artOBBTKN
- Not easy (not impossible) to do a living only from your art, you need to be alive to create art, that's the reason why I recommend you to get a side easy job ;)OBBTKN
- I'm on it... but this chaos of year has forced me to put on pause all the art projects. Thanks to I haven't stopped working, I'm still alive :pOBBTKN

This is one of those stupid days that happens once a year or so, where I both run out of all of the basics and staples, and where stuff burns out, all at once.
Toilet roll, tissues, kitchen roll, rice, pasta, milk, sugar, washing up liquid, washing powder, sponges, lightbulbs all burnt out.
Christ.

Eh, fucking hell.
Out of the blue, an ex-GF of mine from when I was 16 (30 fucking years ago) reached out to me on FB. We'd crossed paths and chatted briefly once or twice over the intervening years before I moved to Europe in 2006, but nothing substantial, and I was really quite happy to leave the past behind.
Anyway, there was really nothing out of the ordinary with her when we were dating. Cute, girl-next-door type. Well-mannered, seemingly well-raised, was an OK student ... overall, pretty nondescript, as a person. Just didn't work out between us.
Anyway, it took less than two minutes for this FB conversation to get fucking surreal, including choice nuggets like:
and

Wow. WTF. I was genuinely shocked to read these statements. Never knew she had it in her.
Weird.

why are there no question marks at the end of song titles that are indeed questions?
- i don't think you technically even need a question mark on your post as you are making a statement that invites response and not asking someone directly.kingsteven
- actually if you think of the melodies in these songs, none of them use an upward inflection...kingsteven
- (googles songs with question marks in their titles to see if thats ever the case)kingsteven
- "making a statement that invites response" is an interesting observation/explanat... but I'm still not clear/convincedKrassy
- Direct: How much does this dildo cost?
Indirect: I’d like to know how much this dildo costs.kingsteven - i have no idea, but i'm guessing it's something grammatical like that. found some examples of songs that have question marks in the title but aren'tkingsteven

Just got offered a web job that turned out to be building a site in Avada (like Squarespace for Wordpress). By way of trying to politely turn it down I tried to explain why that would take me longer than coding it from scratch - yet they are still willing to pay my full rate for clicking buttons on a UI?? Sounds like hell and I'm going to tell them to fuck off but am I missing something? Where the fuck are the design graduates in 2020?
- Wordpress editors can become a total PAIN. I've worked on a ton of WP sites using Avada... I feel your painOBBTKN
- And yes, after using other constructors too, I share your opinion, I prefer to work from scratch. Hacking those editor/themes can be really stressfull...OBBTKN
- And... TIME CONSUMING, I've lost lots of hours trying to get working v. simple sites made with them. Argh!OBBTKN
- ^ I created a UI customisable theme for WP about 14 years ago before all this existed (it was rolled out in schools to teach kids web publishing)... and now :-|kingsteven
- avada is a bear, built two with it. visual composer i believe. honestly elementor is quick and just had an update if you're willing to work within a framework.imbecile
- ^ designer actually sent me through the wireframe and everything is do-able out of the box with avada. no idea why they didn't just build it straight up!kingsteven
- i stopped using wp 3-4 years ago. it's a shit show. also did take care of one site in avada recently, very heavy on the bandwidth the whole thing.renderedred
- ^ most of my long-term clients are folks that got sick of WP once you get a 'real' website it's hard to go back.kingsteven
- I quietly let a job 'opportunity' like that go pre-lockdown. Can't recall what WPGUI framework it was, but I honestly couldn't see the advantage over coding rawNairn
- not to fanboy, there are plenty of "real" websites running wordpress including several national news outlets. it's about the configuration / hosting imoimbecile
- ^ yep i manage a couple of WP sites for online publications but for small sites or specialist stuff (large festivals, elearning) admin can be hellish.kingsteven
- indeed. wordpress can be overkill for many projects.imbecile
- Most of my work is hand coded with WP as a CMS. I haven't come across a better CMS for clients. Any suggestions are welcomed.ArmandoEstrada
- Ive used Elementor twice and it was pretty good for what it is.ArmandoEstrada
- btw same as mentioned before, i prefer to code a custom cms built around client needs.renderedred
- yep, i build bespoke for each client but it does limit the types of jobs i can take on. i know guys that pop out WP sites and ecommerce in 48 hours.kingsteven
- and probably produce shit sites. I build out queries by hand. Looking at one now.ArmandoEstrada

Just went for a pee, mask on because of course. Pre-flush, went to spit and... waaaaait a minute. Nearly. Very nearly!
- Ha. I tried to smoke a fag through my mask earlier, outside a supermarket, at least 2 people noticed and sniggered.fadein11
- hmm, there's a thought - how's the post-fag recycled breath aroma?Nairn
- i had been riding my motorcycle then spit down into my helmet after running in for a wee. huge time saver not taking the helmet off first, let me tell you. /simbecile
- no /s necessary, imbecile - you're one of the few Americanoos on here that does sarcasm quite appropriately and drily
/uk condescension ;)Nairn - Why is it dudes always spit when they pee? I first noticed it in a disneyland restroom so it’s an international thingscarabin

- We were supposed to be moving about now as we need an extra room, but 2020. I hate moving too - I've done it literally 20+ times in my life.Nairn
- Did it 6 months ago, got rid of 2/3 of my stuff, mostly 20 years worth of hard to find art/photo books I was so attached to + had kept through a US-Europe move.spl33nidoru
- I was done lugging all that stuff around probably a couple more times, hardly ever opened them, don't miss any of it.spl33nidoru

Eugh, I just had one of those farts which even i think is disgusting.
You know those farts that smell like they came out of someone else? One of those.
- I've been ripping out protein farts for months, now. Some of them smell like death.Continuity
- And I've had a couple of them actually wake me up in the middle of the night, the pong is so foul.Continuity
- hahahaNairn
- HehehePhanLo

Also - last week I was 'bouncing' my kid to sleep one night. Was just about getting her there to sleep and couldn't help but quietly let out this absolute reeker - 15 seconds later my bairn's crying, me too, but with laughter.
That one fart added an extra 20 minutes to her bed-time routine.
- I also farted in the kitchen as I cooked the other night and about 1.2s later my kid bumped her head into my ass. Poor wee lamb.Nairn
- 43 years of age and still talking about farts.Nairn
- You trying to subconsciously gas your kid to death?
Sadist.Continuity - My son is almost 3 and thinks farts are the funniest thing.monospaced
- Nairn is 40 years older, and thinks the same.Continuity
- Same with me.monospaced
- Well, OK, I'd be a flagrant liar if I said the subject of farts didn't make me giggle, and I'm almost 47.Continuity
- At 50 you will stopi_was
- Continuity2
So, thanks to Nairn and his flatulence, I finally used Google — for the first time since I've been connected to the internet in 1995 — to find the answer to a simple question:
"Why do we like the smell of our own farts?" (I can't believe it took me 25 years to Google this)
Here you go, folks. Some fart science. And some messed up YouTube recos from here on in.
- And with this post, QBN has officially bottomed out.
It can only get better from here.Continuity

So I have a crush on a girl at work. I even dreamt of her last night. In the dream we fell in love at work and started kissing in front of our colleagues without giving a shit.
Now in real life I’m not sure if it would be appropriate to let her know about my feelings. She knows that I find her cute because I told her so in a jokingly way. And sometimes we look at each other and smile, She hasn’t looked away like a girl that wouldn’t be interested. But at the same time I’m not sure if she’s really into me.
I’m hesitant because of the work situation. It’s weird to pursue somebody at work, no?
And if I get rejected it could be even weirder.
- I'd steer well clear, unless she made the first move.
The last thing you need is an accusation of sexual harassment in the workplace.Continuity - send her all of your posts to the chick of the day thread. i'm sure she'll fall in love with your charming personality.imbecile
- Imbecile you stilll have issues with female beauty and photography.NBQ00
- @ Cont, I think she’s cool and wouldn’t do such a thing. Also it’s not like I would harass her. If anything I’d just tell her I think she’s cute and if she’d...NBQ00
- ...be interested in a date or if she’s interested at all in my interest in her.NBQ00
- i'm positive once you let her know the appreciation you have for the female body, she won't help but see you for the exemplary human you areimbecile
- i mean, you wouldn't be embarrassed if she knew you objectified women all the time anonymously online, right? if she's into it, you're golden. show her.imbecile
- Don't let her know about your feelings, try to hang out with her more if she welcomes it (lunch breaks, coffee break, then walk to commute after work)spl33nidoru
- Eventually you'll figure it out if she's into you. But yeah, careful with the work romance situation.spl33nidoru
- How about you ask her to to hang out outside work and see how that goes? Bonus points if you have an idea for a date if she says yes.monNom
- Simple yes/no. No pressure. No weirdness.monNom
- The concept of dates is flawed. Tell her you’re going to X, and ask if she’d like to come along. Easy to turn down, doesn’t put you at risk,scarabin
- and if she digs you she’ll agree. Next questionscarabin
- scarabin's right. friends first is old school but golle gee gosh beaver, it works
who'da thunk?SteveJobs - Jobs are temporary. Love can last a lifetime.ArmandoEstrada

how clouded this story is right now she doesn't even knows your namested - garnering advice how to creep on a coworker from a public forum regarding a relationship that should stay professional is very respectful. i like your style.imbecile
- there is nothing wrong with not knowing how to approach someone you really want.
just don’t forget her when you think about these ideas, ehhsted - Is this the same girl as last time?pango

- If I were you, I'd be careful. She's not exactly inviting this. She might just be being nice. if you're wrong, the consequences could be very negative for you.shellie
- Thanks for advice, all. You may be right, shellie. Good to read a comment from a girls perspective. Hmm, what to do.NBQ00
- At the same time it’s 2020 and people are generally cool. It’s not like I work for a huge uptight corporation or a bank.NBQ00
- She already knows about your plans, girls can smell it from kms. be kind, be brave, life's short but watch the price you're going to payOBBTKN
- that comment right there. I put up with what I considered decision harrassment from a creative director for 12 years. I prayed about it here.shellie
- he thought he was being cute. it took a long time before I stopped joking around and outright rejected him. I was afraid of poisoning my own well.shellie
- and, he's lucky I didn't get him fired. i didn't take that step also afraid of poisoning my own well. its all bad.shellie
- Shellie I found my chic at work. Also banged a bunch of others. Simply put your environment is the so called closest hunting groundsdeathboy
- Is that not accepted. Humans hit on ppl close and work relations get mixed. Look at Kamala harris she made it work for her happilydeathboy

- Either way nbq. Do you. Can go a ton of ways but it's not american to not try for what u want have some plan bs in pkacedeathboy
- Not much you can do in this type of situations other than hope that the attraction is mutual. Make clear that you like her, either directly (as you did)drgs
- or indirectly (eye contact which lasts 1 second too long). This will plant a seed in her to evaluate you as a partner. Later you will know if its ment to bedrgs
- Consider how awkward it'll be when you are together but have an argument and have to sit all day in the office making pleasantries.shapesalad
