I feel ashamed and bad about what I did today. I got physical with one of my co workers (copy writer) and shoved him into the wall because I was so pissed.
He sent me incomplete texts for a treatment and all I asked him in the chat was if I shall copy the same text to a few different ideas. It didn't make sense because the visual ideas where all a bit different.
He got impatient and replied in a very arrogant manner and the came over to me and started belittling me in front of the whole team. So I flipped, stood up to him, told him fuck off and shoved him.
We usually get along well, joke around and send memes to each other but I think the bridge is burned now even though we talked it out and he acknowledged that the treatment needed different texts.
Still I feel bad because I'm not the aggressive type and my other co workers saw me in this dumb moment flipping out on him.
Have you ever had such an incident at work?
- Physical, ever.
That I would have hit my cheater ex-boss? A thousand times!!OBBTKN - When did you last wank? Maybe you need to work something out?Nairn
- And no, I've never had such an incident, work-related. In your shoes I'd expect a less than wonderful meeting with HR.Nairn
- you done fucked upmonospaced
- was he bald?monospaced
- LOLNairn
- No this won't go to HR, I don't work at a bank. I asked him if we should talk to the bosses about it and if I should quit and he said no.NBQ00
- FLOL, mono!palimpsest
- No he's not bald and I like Baldie but he hates me and insults me all the time.NBQ00
- Of course violence is inexcusable, bit it sounds like it wasn't unwarranted. Likely a failure elsewhere in the org, creating a toxic work environment.monNom
- You should take this as a serious warning sign that something needs to change. You could find yourself in a whole lot more trouble next time.monNom
- No it's not toxic. I just lost my cool. All that is happening now in the world and the fact that Baldie hates me made me emotional.NBQ00
- You assaulted someone in the workplace in front of others and then asked that same person if you should quit? The whole thing sounds toxic afwhatthefunk
- It was only toxic between him and me.NBQ00
- He is bullying you. Your employer is allowing that behaviour to persist. You become so emotionally agitated that you lashed out physically.monNom
- There's lots of blame to go around, but you've got to recognize that you are in a situation which is so stressful that you might commit a crime. Pay attention.monNom
- That's how it sounds to me anyways... I mean, you're not generally walking around shoving people, right? Just this guy? just this time?monNom
- You need to put yourself in a position where it's not going to happen again. For your sake.monNom
- This was the first time I got physical in like 20+ years. Last time as a kid. And I only shoved him to the wall, not punched and wouldn't haveNBQ00
- Exactly. Something about the current situation has got you so wound up you assaulted another person. Don't ignore that. It's a hint you need to change somethingmonNom
- your lucky you didn't get fired, or reported for Assault.autoflavour
- LOL fucken monopango
- On the bright side, you feel bad, which is good, because you definitely should after conducting yourself like that. Points to mono for the throwback diss lolBuddhaHat
- So which one of you is Hamas and which one is Israel in this?monospaced
- nice try, monoNBQ00
- Physical, ever.

I knew this day would finally come!
I've got 2 kids...21 and 19. Both live at home. My 21 year old daughter is moving out in a few days to live with her partner...and I'm incredibly sad.
I'm not one of those parents that wants their kids out as quickly as possible...I just love having them around. Fills me with happiness...and the thought of an empty house...well it just makes me sad.
I know it's an exciting time for her...and I'm putting on a happy front...and I know it's all just the circle of life and all that.
But... :(
- my 13 year old is already talking about moving out.. that said im sure he won't when it comes to itautoflavour
- My wife and I are moving in with friends after our kids move out********
- ^ Wow! That's a great idea!oey_oey
- Awwwwww... I feel your pain :( I'm like you. I fear the day they leave home...OBBTKN
- I envy you, Buster.PonyBoy
- urghhh now I started to think about it... I'd rather my wife moved out and they stayed :DArchitectofFate
- Just get a new one :) My oldest is 22 and my youngest is three!dmay
- Buy a PS5 or start golfing?milfhunter
- @nb ow hell no. that sounds like a nice idea until you get annoyed about the small things.milfhunter
- Can't I mail you my 2y8m kid if you feel a down? promise he doesn't eat much!maikel
- https://www.history.…imbecile
- We love our friends. There are a few friends with kids about the same age as ours and we agree how much fun it would be to live together when we’re old********
- Every empty nester over 60 that I know is sad and lonely, even if they still have their spouse with them********
- i totally get it Buster.
my daughter is 20, son is 17...
they crack me up 24-7.. my wife and i both absolutely love their company...exador1 - I'll be crushed to see em go...
but... in this economy?..lol... my guess is they'll be around for a while ;)exador1 - our oldest is in Uni for Poli-sci, wants to be a lawyer.. our boy is in his last year of HS, and wants to get into film directing/production etc...exador1
- It says that 75% of all the time you will ever spend with a child is complete by the time they reach 12 years old.zaq
- And by the time they turn 18, well, 90% of your parent-child time together is already spent. :(zaq
- My sister and brother have moved back to sheffield / derbyshire area recently and its given mum and dad SUCH a boost with all the grand kids being aroundDaveO
- Our last grandparent died this year and i saw them looking super listless and lost, but then they now have their own kids back around and three grandchildrenDaveO
- We're all hoping It'll keep them going a bit longer. I'm staying in New York though, fuck Chesterfield!DaveO

paludan burning "holy" books, tunisians not having better things to do than run around and shoot at stuff, and drunk footballers walking through Schaerbeek (which I've been told locals don't). This is fucky.

Off the back of Busterboy's post above - I recently rekindled contact with a friend from home who moved back from London a few years back. She brought me up to speed with some of the old gang who I've not seen in over twenty years and, My! how much has absolutely not changed for them at all: Three of them are still living with their folks - we're not that far off fifty! wtf?
- When you say "folks", I imagine you don't mean that they still live with their parents, right?OBBTKN
- i'd live with my family... if they didn't suck. but conceptually, my home can serve several people. envious of such bonds. (unless they're just broke)imbecile
- when in HK, relationship there was very family centric. not all, but some of her family lived in large groups. holidays were cool with me. I miss her great gma.imbecile
- ^ yep. all of my elderly neighbours have kids living with them. even though the kids are my age and have jobs they don't engage in 'neighbour' conversationkingsteven
- a weird state of childhood regression consideringkingsteven
- @obbtkn - unfortunately that's exactly what I mean. One of them wasn't a horrific surprise, but two of them I was almost dumbfounded.Nairn
- ..You know where i'm 'from' so you know how big the place is - unfortunately house prices are almost as bad as London, which might figure into things. Still.Nairn
- SMART! living with parents saves a tone of money.pango

I only do this once a year (as it is only on once a year) but have done the last 2 and if you are in London next weekend is a must visit. Not just because I will have a stall there with loads of nice records (the ones I don't want but that doesn't mean they're crap) but lots of TV, film, pop stars come along too. It's kinda hipster central for sure but I like the vibes, the food is good and I usually sell well as I save my good stuff especially through the year for it.
If you can come and want to try and find me I will be giving away an exclusive very limited edition mix CD to anyone who winks and says "QBN".

Not sure where to post this so apologies if this is not right
Sabresonic turns 30!!!
Any (UK people) been Todmorden UK.
Specifically, Golden Lion -- it's a restaurant/pub/club(?)
https://goldenliontodmorden.co.u…Seems pretty easy going all around but a drive from London I guess
- Golden Lion is legendary, was there years ago (before it was yellow lol) met a couple of the folks that run it when they were over in Belfast recently.kingsteven
- I was meant to go see Vibert play there a few years ago, but my mate selfishly decided to get married on that day instead. Still wanna check it out.Ianbolton

I've been on QBN since 2006 (Newstoday massive whaddup). Still, there still seems to be so much deep QBN lore and drama I have no idea about. People here seem to know personal shit about each other, have personal beefs and private jokes. Like all the people who get routinely downvoted I have no idea about why (except maybe grafician and Hayoth). Do many of you hang out IRL or something? I feel so left out *sobs*
- few of us are on discord.pango
- ^ which is to say, that's where a lot of the in-jokes come from.Continuity
- If don't get everything that goes on here it means you have a healthy life.
If I say "I was here before you" do you get the reference?palimpsest - ^ lol ... I'd forgotten that oneContinuity

- :spastic:palimpsest
- I've been here before it was Newstoday and I still have no idea about a bunch of the drama. It is amusing watching it.formed
- what's the QBN drama today?
we need a QBNDailypango - I've been here since the beginning on Newstoday. I recall getting in an argument with Transfatty at the time, because he thought it was ok to use the N word...exador1
- And i recall all the old names, like Vena, Bio, Kona, transfatty etc etc...
but....
i don't pay much attention to the drama these days...exador1 - i know there's beef between a few of the folks here..and it flares up from time to time.. but i don't know exactly whats behind it...exador1
- but the important thing is, i don't really care ;)exador1
- i come here now (pretty much every day) to make a few comments, check out what everyone is up to.. and veg out for a few minutes or whateverexador1
- after all these years, its nice to see a few friendly 'names' here, folks i've chatted with here a bit over the past 20+ years...exador1
- all of us old-timers started back in the day as young designers, and now most of us are in higher positions, with grown-up or almost grown kids...exador1
- i straight up am glad to be a part of this place, and honoured to know you folks.

It' funny... My kids have grown up knowing about this place, and that i chat with you guys... been doing it since before they wereexador1 - born. they're 20 and 17, and have heard me talking about you guys since they were little...exador1
- they think it's pretty cool i know designers and creatives from all over the world, and that we all chat here...exador1
- I think it's pretty cool too :)
I remember going to k10K every day, and reading the posts from 'world famous' designers...exador1 - and wishing "I" could be part of the conversation :)exador1
- I had a chance to hang out once around that time with Jeffery Zeldman at a conference, and telling him the same thing...exador1
- and suddenly one day, i chanced upon Newstoday, and realized it was happening, and i jumped in with both feet...exador1
- 'My kids have grown up knowing about this place'

- Hi!
nothing to see here.
go away.grafician - But mentioning me next to Hayoth is kinda insulting Jan :)

@Akagiyama talks about this in the Punches Thread, but no one seems to answer the question: is using ad blockers banned when watching youtube now? They can ban you and remove your channel???
I've been using UblockOrigin for years and years. Never had a problem, never been warned. Haven't seen an ad in years.
- Google has Google now.
https://support.goog…Nairn - yeah, ublock is banned. switched to another and its banned now too.kingsteven
- didn't hear anything about actually deleting your channel though...kingsteven
- i just wrote an extension to get round it and it took 5 minutes, there are ways.kingsteven
- well chat-GPT wrote itkingsteven
- stuck it on github if anyone wants it
https://www.qbn.com/…kingsteven - ublock still works in Firefoxdmay
- its based on your usage, i was like 'still, works for me' when i first saw posts about it. then 3 days later i'm on my 3 strikes.kingsteven
- They've been showing ads on almost all videos now, regardless of your account settings.stoplying
- Ublock works on FF, yes. But surely not for long.jagara
- I don't think it bans you per-se, but blocks you from watching with an ad-blocker on. I hope Ublock figures out a workaround soon.Akagiyama
- I use Brave. On the anti-ad blocker I click ok to disable it and refresh. So far this works. I don't know how to disable the ad-blocker so hoping it continues.skinny_puppy
- I've already gotten Ublock bans for FF on desk and mobile. And they are definitely working on it. I had a weird one last night where it disabled all video..garbage
- ..where everything played, but it was just a black screen.garbage
- Apparently, there is an ad-skipper extension. Instead of blocking ads, it auto-skips: https://chrome.googl…jagara
- Lol, just pay for it. Your kids won't have to watch ads either saving their little brains and you'll get 4k on your big telly. better value than most streamers.slappy
