In the next few years I want to be independent from a workplace and job, not to rely on it and market trends. We could all be replaced by A.I. or maybe there's not enough work going around because of economy.

working on a couple of images for a (major) competition - one is fine, the other turned out fucking great after initial wobbles. of course the goons in charge of the project said no because, like all architects, they have 2D sponge minds like drooling toddlers and if they can't see something it miraculously doesn't exist. they insisted on a new view using a different background photo, so now I have to turn a day photo into an early evening shot - which is a total fucking ballache because the shadows in the photo are all wrong compared to the render.
before I was quite enthusiastic about the project, but now these bozos can go fuck themselves. I really don't give a fuck and they'll get a shit picture as a result. and AND! I explicitly asked at the start if we needed to print / mount the layouts before the deadline because that takes extra time - Big Donkey Brain Fuckwit McClowny-Cunt said oh no, pretty sure we can send it digitally. then I find out today it has to be printed and handed in in person. these people are fucking morons.

What's the average salary for a Senior Brand Designer in tech, like at Google?
Working under creative director so not management.
But not junior.

I'm tired all the time. Fatigued.
Maybe I'm not eating enough veggies or drinking enough water.
I work from home some days and now that it gets dark early, I don't even go outside or for a walk sometimes.
I don't remember ever being this tired in 2020 and not much has changed.
On some of the days that I do go outside, I'll just come home after and get into bed at like 8pm and kill time on my computer until 10 or 11.

- Diet makes a massive difference as you get older. I am suddenly noticing that any junk food or even a cheeseburger is a total energy vampire********
- Also try: set a strict rule about screens. If you work 9-5, I’d suggest NO screens between 5:30pm and 8:30am. It’ll change your life.********
- Avoiding screens will force you to find other activities to occupy your mind. It’s weird at first but you’ll quickly feel like you’ve reclaimed your life.********
- I have this exact thing for long wave of time, both before and after covid was a thing, all the generic advice never really seems to work, feels totally out ofkalkal
- my control, actually currently on a pretty good stint, no particular reason, nothing has changed. It's winter here too. Weird.kalkal
- We all need more vitamin D********
- Apnea? Might need a CPAPAkagiyama
- It sounds like breaking a pattern is necessary to initiate change. What works well for me is walking and eating regularly...stewart
- ... (e.g., not skipping meals and compensating with a lot of sweets) to keep blood sugar levels steady throughout the day. That can change your life.stewart

How does bluesky exist without a lawsuit? jack dorsey sells twitter then takes the structure and likeness which he no longer owns and re purposes it as bluesky?
non compete? intellectual property?
besides the overpriced sale elon paid for the userbase more then anything.
- imo he paid for all the eyeballs looking at ads and the brand recognition. then he took a giant shit on the brand recognition, and scared off half the users.BuddhaHat
- because Elon didn't put a non compete part in the contract?Nutter
- as i understand it bluesky (proprietary social network) is built on bluesky (decentralised open source protocol funded by twitter under jack dorsey)kingsteven
- so i think a lot of the 'structure' is defined by the protocol and the UI doesn't infringe enough. but i imagine there will be some litigation down the line.kingsteven

Got an iPad air 5, a pen and a Bellemond screen screen protector that has a bit of texture feel. Had a lot of fun messing about in procreate yesterday.
I'm terrible at drawing, but hopefully this will help me draw more and get better at it.

Last night I was at a dark spot near my house and asked myself: How many photons am I seeing when I look at a star, millions of lightyears away?

- 2milfhunter
- Not sure but it’s got the making of a great intro to a children’s book :)_niko
- less than the 9x10 to the power of 89neverscared
- When looking at Betelgeuse, which is approximately 642.5 light-years away, approximately 5.64 million photons per second would enter the human eyekalkal
- furthest visible star to the naked eye is 2600 light years away btwkalkal
- yeah I'm fun at parties, whatchu gonna do about it?kalkal
- They're fireflies stuck up in that.. big-bluish black thing.garbage
- How many are you sending back?robthelad
- If Stew is glowing, he's got much bigger problems than dead stars.garbage
- Idle thoughts thread :)jagara
- Chemical reactions within your body, besides liberating energy and producing heat, are also emitting small numbers of photons, elementary particles of light. :)robthelad

YouTube can get fucked with this adblocker-blocker shit. I'm behind on my reading anyway, so I'll let the nerds sort it out and check in a month for the latest filters.
- I just updated my Ad blocker. I'm using Ad Guard on YouTube...no ads.utopian
- https://adguard.com/…utopian
- The irony is: YouTube works just fine and with no ads in private windows. Which means their rationale for blocking ad blockers is complete bullshit.Continuity

- Punches for back 2 back 14 sec un-skippable ads ... fuck YTRamanisky2
- YouTube makes billions in profit despite their intrusive ads, there's no need for this move and it'll only drive users away or adblockers will inevitably win.i_monk
- use the share button. you can watch whole video with no ads.pr2

Today I learnt that I'm 1.4% Japanese/Korean, 1.1% Inuit (Eskimo) and 0.9% Mesoamerican and Andean... what a mind fuck.
- The funny part is that the 96.6% part is absolutely accurate for both parents down to the specific area in the nordics, which itself is a tiny sample, then...ephix
- even further than that the indigenous part too.ephix

I went for an annual check-up today. The doctor asked if I have problems with drugs or alcohol. I said "No", to which she replied that I lead a boring life.
