I've begun to realize how bad parenting or broken homes really mess up people into adulthood.
People who don't have good support systems really are a mess.

- Bad home life in childhood is also correlated with creativity... so there’s that.monNom
- Also correlated with mental illness. So there’s that too.monNom

Does anybody have any advice for a laptop with external monitor issue I'm having.
I'm only 2 days in and never done it before, but whenever I wake up my Mac, all the palettes and windows revert to some other setup and the saved workspaces I have setup in Indesign & Illustrator doesn't resolve it.

WTF is with that Wandavision show. I thought it was supposed to be good! Shite.
- I liked it.monospaced
- Except for the cheesy battle at the end.monospaced
- was alright, cool concept wrapped in a dumb TV show to turn the brain off.inteliboy

Regarding not hearing back for over a month on a job application, having had positive rounds of interviews - finally they respond:
I'm too good/creative, job is not so exciting.
I didn't appear excited enough.
... So I should be more excited about a non-exciting job, and less creative/good.
Ok....
- This means they can't afford you and the position was shitty anyway.********
- At this point the entire interviewing process should be paid in advance at market rates, 'cuz the waste of time is monumental********
- yep, I should send an invoice.shapesalad
- Had more time wasted with another company, seem to have deep pockets, no salary on ad, asking me my salary expectation... then 'its above our range'shapesalad
- ...so then put the fucking range on the advert and stop wasting mine and your time fucking idiots.shapesalad
- Think I'll just put in red ink at the top of my CV 'Salary expectation: £xxK+' and save myself some time...shapesalad
- This means they can't afford you and the position was shitty anyway.

I will never tire of people misspelling 'rogue' as 'rouge', as its context typically makes the error particularly deflating to the intent.
- But also consider you're talking in your native language and people understand you, isn't that awesome?********
- Star Wars Rouge One was a good movie.monospaced
- Rouge five standing by.MrT
- Moulin Roguesausages

It's only been an hour on Miller's planet since Interstellar was released.
- Love this film.monospaced
- nice :)********
- good onemilfhunter
- Take your surfboardmisterhow
- How come the smart astronauts didn’t think about how Miller had only landed 20min before or whatever BEFORE they went down there.********
- this is one of my favs, if not my all time fav movie.mantrakid
- Yeah the physics are dumb here, you can't have waves that big in water that shallow duh********
- but overall Interstellar had top attention to details, including the physics for that huge black hole********
- Favorite sexy astronaut: Sigourney Weaver, Anne Hathaway or Sandra Bullock?CyBrainX
- You actually can have big waves that move into shallow water. It happens. It didn’t break physics, it just doesn’t happen here much.monospaced
- Waves are tallest in the shallows. A tsunami mid-ocean is only a few cm, it grows to metres as the sea floor rises.i_monk
- @i_monk, exactly. There's no dumb physics here. They thought it out very well, in fact.monospaced

What's the going rate/salary for a senior level print designer in NYC working in house at a corporate-type job?
- I would say about $120k but ... are there “print designer” positions in house corporate anymore? I kinda have one of those positions but it’s more digital daily.monospaced

Bought a second hand Mac Mini, hook it to my side monitor, installed and configured Synergy (for to use only a keyboard and a mouse for both) and now I´m able to test things on MacOs whitout this cluncky vmware thing...
Another computer at home (I've got now 4 machines, and another 3 laptops (2 daugthers and wife)).
Ouch!

- Nice place but you'll have to have sex with your sister as a condition of sale to live in Tasmania :(sausages
- Ive been in it before and its been pretty slammed from being accommodation. The Block work does look pretty rough.thumb_screws
- You dont have to have sex with a sibling to buy in Tasmania any more. As long as you have terrible literacy and outdated views you get a pass.thumb_screws

The Post Office local to my house, which I only occasionally use, always tries to hard-sell services one doesn't actually need. It's a little infuriating, especially considering I use another Post Office all the time, and know what services, etc, I need.
Anyway, sent a package y'day on First Class, Signed for, which always - ALWAYS - gets to addresses in London the next day, outside of Christmas time.
Guy tried to sell me the more expensive next day service and I said, "nah, first class is fine - it'll get there tomorrow". "It could take up to three days, sir..", "No, I guarantee it'll be there tomorrow, it always does" says I, stupidly.
Guess what? It's not there today, and I needed it to be.
Why didn't I spend that extra £3?
Now unsure whether it's simply chance, or Fate is teaching me a lesson.. or the always-up-selling bastard kept my package aside for sending today instead.
- He did. Next time just say that you can't afford it, and you hope that it will get there on time...********
- If he offers arson protection for your building, take itscarabin
- Or the c*nt at the PO chucked your thing into the 'send these tomorrow or whenever' pile just to teach you the lesson for thinkin' you're smart ;)microkorg

One day left for vacations, oh my...
Totally destroyed, tired and burned. From past summer vacations, I've barely stopped, idiot of me.
* Today my youngest daugther have received the first dose of the vaccine, 3 weeks more and all our family will have completed the cycle.
Enjoy life locos, (if you see smoke, know that it's probably this crazy basque making a barbecue, making a toast for all of you...) ;)
- Enjoy, sounds well deserved.Longcopylover
- You can be sure... thanks!OBBTKN

So after years of some of you daft cunts insisting on misspelling my name as 'Naim' I just had an enquiry from someone who shared my name and I was delighted at the possibility of working with someone possibly (unlikely) related.
Stating as much, they replied - "where are your family from, Syria or Lebanon?" at which point I realised their name was Naim, not Nairn.
*squints*
- lol
I am constantly correcting myself that your name is Nairn and not Narin. sorry******** - Haha!OBBTKN
- I didn't actually realize Nairn was your real name.monospaced
- yeah it's scottish or irish, not at all middle east lol********
- Naim must be hebrew or something********
- Nairn is of the old Elven lands, he's immortal and all that********
- kerning mattersfaxion
- Imagine having a name that just sounds like “name”. It’s like an abbot and costello setupscarabin
- @mono - aye, that's why I ditched it for the other name I used here for a decade, realising I shouldn't've used it in the first place. Now I just don't care...Nairn
- @faxion yeah, this is why you should never use Helvetica for UI...********
- I always thought you're Naim with an 'm'; reading this post, I just had to comb my cursor through your name to see the 'r' and 'n'.
mind-blown.gifKrassy - @lol Krassy :)
@sted - that's Dinky's influence, I imagine - cunt always insisted on mangling my name on NTC for ... reasons.Nairn - fuck Dinky, I met him a few times in real life, and he's just as bad in personmonospaced
- ey, he was an oft'troubled soul, much like many of us on occasion. I think he just didn't let that veil slip much so we didn't see WHY he was a cunt.Nairn
- He worked at Bloomberg, which is a soul sucking corporation. I hardly blame him, I guess. I hope he’s okay though.monospaced
- Ha! Guilty. Sorry, my eyes are shit.bezoar
