    If eating liver is good for the liver, does that mean eating chicken breast will give you (man) boobies?

    • Actually, yes, if there are too many hormones in it.Nairn

    • @Nairn owned these notes quickly and efficiently. Breast is the worst part of the chicken BUT white moms love it (no bones).

      No bone = no flavour.

    There're still people under the rubbles
    some dead, some still alive.
    Imagine someone creates a post after 9/11 and says "well didn't you deserve this America?" and other retards upvote it and say things like "well Bush was like ..."

    If banning heartless, brainless retards is a thing here, as we have seen recently deathboy getting banned for his stupid joke, then ban these racist dimwits too.

    What did those people who lost their homes, lives or their kids, had to do with Erdogan or a Tunisian drug addict?
    If you're trying to teach someone something, who are you trying to teach to asshole?

    We're talking about about racism in the USA all the time but this place is infested with racist pigs from Europe who are a happy to hear about an incident like this deep inside.
    You know who they are, some are German, Austrian, Danish ...

    And thats religion thread is nothing but a honeypot for them to blurt our their dirty fantasies. Is there one religious person writing in that thread? It's just a bunch of jerks keep empowering each others' nastiness.

    Its is very ironic that the religion thread is a deep dive exposure to how boneheaded atheists can be.

    What does this thread do in a design forum anyway?

    • Atheists are not an issue ffs. Grow up.monospaced
    • Since when is not believing in supernatural entities boneheaded? It could be argued that believers are the real issue, killing and shit.monospaced

    • I dont care what you think about any religion. Justifying a disaster with your fanaticsm is sick.Beeswax
    • justifying the murder of innocents or the terrorisation of a country, because of some shoulder chip about visualisations of your prophet is sick.Nairn

    • I sincerely apologise.shapesalad
    • I wished not to dismiss the pain and suffering in Turkey or make light of it. I was merely proposing a thought, but you’re right. Not design related.shapesalad
    • All I'll say about: "What did those people who lost their homes, lives or their kids, had to do with Erdogan"_niko
    • is that he's in charge, he's responsible for not securing the buildings, making sure they were up to code, instead he's focusing on adventurism._niko
    • 20 buildings collapsed in Turkey and not 1 in Greece, why? Smyrna/Izmir is on one of the most active earthquake zones, why are shoddy buildings still being buil_niko
    • built? why are older unsafe buildings allowed to be occupied? if the buck doesn't stop with Erdogan who does it stop with?_niko
    • but yeah not sure what the earthquake had to do with a religion thread._niko
    • I was thinking more about how deeply religious people, at least historically, viewed natural disasters as acts of god.shapesalad
    • And the terrorist attack in Nice was seemingly done in the name of a god, and was pondering if other deeply religious would be terrorists view it as a replyshapesalad
    • from god, the earthquake that is. But as pointed out it could easily be viewed as god saying it wasn’t enough and encourage more terrorism.shapesalad
    • However as noted, what’s that got to do with design. And so I will try my level best to keep my thoughts to myself and stick to design topics on here.shapesalad

    Gf and I just escorted a girl back home.
    I spotted her being followed by a sleazy young guy slowly driving a scooter on the sidewalk a few meters behind her, and waiting as she entered a Chinese take-out.

    We walked in there, she confirmed he had talked dirty to her minutes before on the street, and she seemed relieved she wouldn't have to be confronted by him again.

    That guy looked like nothing inherently threatening, random short chubby early 20s guy, harassing girls at night and possibly waiting for one to say the wrong thing or look the wrong way.

    It's not much but enough to make me sad that this is a lot of girls' daily life.

    How do I get more courage?

    I'm too flexible and accommodating with offers.

    I have a friend who always asks for raises and more time off and gets it.

    But I want to be nice and accept reasonable offers.

    How do I learn to be a jerk and always ask for more?

    In the past, asking for crazy amounts has gotten me no job. I'd rather take less than nothing.

    Neighbour got kicked out of their house yesterday. Yikes! She was a personal trainer, so obvs lost all work, and has a 12 yr old son! I feel so bad for them.

    Now we have an issue, she had 4 cats that lived on her balcony. We had issues as they would shit in our small garden, and on Sat we found out they'd been in the house and shat in the pot plants!! (took forever to find out what the fukken smell was!!)

    But now she has left the cats behind (which I get - her stuff was out on the street, she couldn't exactly worry about trying to herd cats)

    We put food out and the poor things gobbled it up in seconds, they must have been so hungry!!! Don't know what to do now, whoever moves in next will no doubt not want 4 cats. I think we gonna try at least get them caught and spayed

    Found the mouse that'd been nibbling food at the back of my desk last week. Little fucker was in my bin - guessing it couldn't resist the smell of the empty crisp packet of [fucking amazing] Chorizo crisps I had in there. Not sure it was lucky I found it - I only noticed it was there as I happened to be digging around the bottom, looking for a piece I'd discarded to check I'd replaced it. Given that I did find the mouse, I captured it and took it for a wee walk and release it along a canalside. It was only seconds after I released it (well, it made a heroic leap from the container I had it in) i thought "Shit - poor little fucker's spent days building up a reserve of food for winter and I've just taken it away from all that".

    Perhaps it would've been better it' been left to its chances at the bottom of the bin for the next few days and then gotten thrown out into the bins outside? Sorry, little guy.

    I really struggle saying the word 'unfathomable'.

    In my mind there are apparently a few more syllables strung together by some haphazardly placed n's, m's, and couple spare vowels for good measure.

    Also, when I see the word and say it correctly, I feel like I'm saying a different, but phonetically similar word, albeit after a well-anesthetized root canal procedure.

    Another job interview turned rejection. Its like running into a brick wall when you routinely go 2-3 rounds deep and then they say they are going with someone else. Then you have to get yourself amped for the next one. This is some BS.

    • look for key words like "we just want to know you better" or "our process usually lasts X months, but..."grafician
