    My female co-worker who is sitting next to me has this habit of constantly turning her phone towards me when she checks her Whatsapp messages. She doesn't hold the phone straight towards her but turns it so I could potentially see her screen.

    It's very unusual and seems almost as if she's trying to make me jealous or something. I know she's dating some guy but I believe it's just casual.

    Yesterday I noticed she did it again and then quickly turned her head to me looking if I'm looking at her phone.

    • Sure it turns her on. "Look, looook at meee... Lookatmyscreen!! Are you gay or whaaat?"OBBTKN

    I got my new iPhone 13 pro max thing yesterday... didn't activate it until about 2am this morning right before taking my dog on our nightly walk (we go out for about 45 mins between 2 and 4am nearly every morning).

    I obviously need to learn how to use these new features (and I realize that HDR is more than likely turned on - sorry for the oversaturated nonsense)... just fucking around tho — the night exposure settings let you create some cool shots that you couldn't take just an iteration or two down in phones.

    any of you ever run a kickstarter and have any tips or experience to share?

    • so far this seems like an elaborate way to pay a middleman to take preorders for youscarabin
    • Does Kickstarter do any kind of promotion off their site? Never thought of it before. It's just a platform and middleman but doesn't seem to do anything.i_monk
    • Hmm. According to kickstarter, 10-30% of backers come from within their site. Looks like some folks just like to browse around and back thingsscarabin
    • I think people browse the site in various categories, for interesting items an concepts to back. But ultimately, the promotion is your job.jagara
    • It provides a convenient platform.jagara
    • Easy to donate if you’ve used KS before is how they come up with that 10-30% number. More likely to spend if I’m already using the platform.imbecile
    • I’d rather you just have a PayPal link on a website that tells me what my money is for. I prefer the seller get most of the funds.imbecile

    The (for lack of a better, less worn-out term) hipster aestetic is so fucking predictable and uniform these days. My neighborhood, for example, is in full gentrification mode. And, as usual:

    Lots of coffee shops with designer logos and cool and/or edgy sounding names, open. Twenty-somethings convene here and sit with their macbooks, in fahionable, casual attire. People riding electric skateboards or similar.

    Boutiques and tiny art galleries selling neatly framed graphic art and design objects.

    Startups in warehouses, usually something to do with micro brewed organic this-or-the-other kombucha energy drinks, or something-something sustainable mycelium electric bike handlebars this-or-the-other.

    It's has been more or less the same looking shit surrounded by the same looking people for the last 15 years at least (let's call it 20). And it looks the same in Warsaw, Berlin, Tbilisi or Stockholm etc. as it does in Copenhagen.

    I have no beef with the above, apart from it being stale, uniform, predictable and boring.

    Signs I'm getting old, maybe.

    Is it just me or are holiday trips and traveling overrated?

    Or at least this year I’m so not feeling it. Especially when you see how many idiots are trying to fly and all the airports in Europe are currently packed with people waiting in line for hours and hours and flights cancelled or baggages lost and the staff overwhelmed:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/t…

    Plus Covid.

    And all the good and desired destinations are overbooked and packed with people.

    Should I reconsider the Metaverse?

    What makes someone intellectually curious? Intelligence? Their parents?

    My office manager tells me casually from time to time that she doesn't have any interests and doesn't seem bothered by it.

    She does yoga and plays with her dog and then all her photos on instagram are selfies or eating dinner at fancy bbq restaurants.

    The skater kids look more or less exactly like skater kids from the 90's again. One major difference: they wear their baggy pants pulled up, instead of low and sagging. Being a skater/hip hop dude in the 90's myself, this takes a lot of getting used to.

    The Euro is getting smoked. Near parity with USD soon. If you're coming from a non EU country it's pretty cheap to travel right now.
