High blood pressure medication, wegovy, stopped vaping.
☑ 40 y/o now
- Still young. Relax. Eat well. Exercise. Cut alcohol. More sex. And test again next year. Stop the medication as soon as the pressure is lower. Good luck!OBBTKN
- More sex is more important than the other mandatory ;)OBBTKN
- Happy birthday!sted
- thanks, not getting the sex and I don't drink already so this is a pretty low baseline but I appreciate the sentiment lolkalkal

So..Landed a 'contract' gig with EA, assisting Madden and NCAA. Dream gig... but the problem.. I just feel like the old guy at that company vs being someone who knows their shit..
Won't lie, feels weird. Also feels weird when I make a joke they chomp it up as 'dad jokes', when I'm like.. uhh , no it wasn't...
- Fuck them. If they had any brains in their empty heads they’d know how lucky they are to be working with such an immense talent._niko
- Don’t try to fit in, be like zlatan, you’re the shit. Ok maybe that’s extreme lol but maybe be the chill mentor, the miagi to their snot nosed Daniel san_niko
- do the work, take the money, and get out as quickly as possible. EA are a shit company to work for.face_melter
- Nothing you can do about your age, so don't sweat it!stoplying
- I smell a discrimination lawsuit...
;-)monNom - Nah. It’s fun... just a bit twilight zone at timeshydro74
- next time you’re leaning over shoulder of one of the dad joke haters, provide casual feedback that it looks sus, skibidi toilet, needs more of a sigma effortprophetone
- then walk away before a response and let out a “gyattttt” an sip coffee like a sigmaprophetone
- So prepare to be fuckedgrafician
- none of us are getting younger, just hopefully wiserNutter
- Grats on the gig hydro. Share some work when you can.pseud

I became a member here 20 years ago today. That's a damn long time ago (see my selfie from a time before smartphones)! Back then I was a programmer and web designer, with a fresh degree from the Academy of Visual Arts.
Then I got interested in naked women and since 2012 I've been a Playboy photographer, published three books and am just starting a new chapter in my life, finding a new place to live (which is more difficult than I thought) and trying to express myself more artistically.
Although I've only met Continuity in person so far, I'm a very regular on QBN. Sometimes I think, damn, there's too much complaining and ranting here, we're all losing focus completely, I need a break, but then the QBN community is always good for a surprise. I'm happy when one of you has created something. Whatever. These are my favorite posts when I see how many different disciplines we work in.
- you only got interested in naked women at 2012? what was going on before then?pango
- I mean in photographing them.SimonFFM
- XD I jest!pango
- Prior to 2012 Simon was passionate about all things Legos. He once considering dating a Lego, but that was one bridge too far, he's now just a Playboy لاutopian
- I made the switch from Playmobil to Playboy, fair enough.SimonFFM
- :)utopian
- flol, jesus christ, pango.
Was great to have coffee with you, Simon, we need to do that again soon!Continuity - Happy 20 Simon ;)
And nice to see your work too.OBBTKN - Wow, 20 Years. How do you know the exact day? What happened then?Longcopylover
- I have no idea, how I know the day. I thought I read it somewhere here.SimonFFM
- Nice! It would be cool to see more of your artistic projects.Chimp
- Thanks, I will do my best to share them some day.SimonFFM

It's great to have you around.palimpsest - You need to get drunk and listen to the SimonFFM verse in the QBN anthem right now: https://www.youtube.…jagara

We've all been there.Wolfboy - Take my/our +1’s you s**t!

- "Then I got interested in naked women...."
There you go, be the change you want to see in the world :)yuekit - Happy anniversary!
Pango, LOL, that was brilliant.mg33 - I admire your artistic vision and the way you’ve discovered your passion and pursued it.Beeswax
- Wish there would be more posts like this one. All the best, man!fisheye
- Thank you guys!SimonFFM
- You're a good apple, Simon! Good vibe. Appreciate all your positivity and creativity. Good knowing you on QBN. Here's to the next 20 years! Cheers!Krassy
- Happy 20th! I think I am too old to know when I got here...whatever was before NT...formed
- We met before... but that was pre qbnd_gitale
- True! Looooong time.SimonFFM
- it took you that long to get interested in naked women? i had that at around 12autoflavour
- Post some dick pics and I'll upvote.cotton
- If nothing else, this proves it takes VERY little to impress QBN. Just whip up a mediocre career doing bland, last decade's boudoir photography and BAM!cherub
- The care home dipshits will crown you King of QBN. Cause you gave them the boner that viagra never could. Stay classy, Simon.cherub

Lost my temper with a college, who insists on doing things the most convoluted and rigid ways, while I'm trying to work smarter.
But I'm the idiot, I lost my temper, I was out of line, I recognize this.
However, now she calls me a misogynist. I criticized her work. I said nothing about her gender. For fucks sake.
- You are fucked. It's an ego thing, surely.OBBTKN
- Fucked as in trouble, or fucked as in fucked up person?jagara
- A colleague pulled the gender card in a totally non-gendered dispute the other day, just to shut it down and not admit fault. Lost a lot of respect for them.BuddhaHat
- In trouble. If she has brought up the subject of gender, it seems that she has no other arguments and whenever gender is discussed, things do not end well.OBBTKN
- Or at least, the times that the same thing has happened to me. Good luck!OBBTKN
- Well, this is Denmark and not the US, so I doubt I'm in real trouble. I'm sending her a sincere apology today, that' she'll see tuesday.jagara
- @OBBTKN Oh, sorry, you're from Germany(?). Don't know how things work there.jagara
- She probably can not define misogyny.
Pulling out the gender cards mean that she knows she is the one in the wrong.ApeRobot - try and stay on topic in your apology, keep it simple and honest. Say what you mean, without being mean. Sorry you're having to deal with it thoughIanbolton
- I had a similar thing a few years agio where i criticised the design of our companies website. She argued that I was questioning her design abilities...Ianbolton
- in an already male dominated industry. I apologised, but i was so angry because the website was shit.Ianbolton
- fuck that bitch!milfhunter
- @jagara, I'm from and in the Basque Country... The Berlin thing was a joke with a friend, and that was many years ago ;)OBBTKN
- And I was referring to "just another trouble", nothing serious. Hope it!OBBTKN
- Ah, ok :)jagara
- you should have Ben'd the shit out of herYakuZoku
- I still think that you become a worse designer if one can't accept critique. You might disagree with the feedback, but at least listen. If everything ...Nutter
- turns into "gender politics" then how will anyone ever give feedback.
So apologize for losing your temper, but stand by your critique.Nutter - I work in non design related work these days, but it still applies :)jagara
- To be fair, I didn’t simply criticize, I lost my damn temper. Didn’t say anything that could be considered misogyny, however.jagara
- Did you mansplain tho?pseud
- She womansplains a lot.jagara

Who told my dog it was the first day of fall? We’ve had cooler nights this summer. She doesn’t even use the backyard to poop in since she gets fed back there sometimes. But last night and so far today, she’s just laying in the backyard or running around harassing squirrels. Finally, a day I don’t have to walk / run her 12+ miles? Though I say that having already gone ~5 before noon. Oh did I mention the electricity has been out for 11 hours so far? Go fund me to replace my groceries? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello my dear community.

Is there any point having a job these days? I feel like even having a decent job is not enough to get a decent bank loan and buy a house, afford groceries and maybe go on vacation once a year. Unless I'm willing to sell my soul to big corps, which sounds dreadful. Plus, companies treat employees like shit and pretend to be surprised when people ask for a promotion or raise. Is freelancing still an option?
- At the same time, my neighbour who's an influencer is in her early 30s and about to buy an apartment in Monacopseud
- I feel you!********
- Work a network, with clients that pay for your work. Market was dead times ago. There are more people selling smoke than people willing to move money...OBBTKN
- Welfare feels like the way to go. I won’t be able to do stuff but I won’t have to work, either********

I just got my first haircut in 6 years, my hair went from mid back length to a Hitler youth cut I didn't ask for, maybe if my Spanish was a little better I could have gotten the cut I asked for.
- I’ve gone from long hair hippy to panzer tank commander on holidays. I just let the barber do his thing and hope he’s not taking the piss.thumb_screws

I lost my full time gig end of August but managed to find a new one starting mid October. I am honestly shocked that I've been out of work for only 1.5 months, given the state of the job market.

My new doctor looks like a late 30s kliché surfer dude. Long hair, Billabong t-shirt, sandals. Maori tattoos.
Nice guy. Very professional. Clearly competent.
However, as much as I generally appreciate the informality of Danish society, I would feel in safer hands with a dry-looking, gray haired early sixties man in a lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck.
- A good stern, firm hand wrapped in a latex glove.palimpsest
- Experience (age) is a plus in a doc, but who knows?OBBTKN
- Just to play devils advocate, undiagnosed dementia is more likely in an older doctor.mort_
- Age can go both ways, the stereotype of dr who is stuck in the old ways and the old dr that embraces everything new and just has a greater breadth of knowledgekalkal
- Would you rather have a prostate exam by a long haired surfer dude or a gray haired lab coat dude?milfhunter
- ^good question for the waiting room questionnairemort_
- Yea, but when you are sick you can say, “Mondo nuggets are barreling out the back”. He’ll know what you mean.futurefood
- Come on would you rather hear
Gray haired Dr: I’m sorry, you have 6 weeks to live...futurefood - Or Surfer Doc:
Massive non-hodgkins is cranking. Soon to have you over the falls, total wipeoutfuturefood - It's very weird isn't it. going to a doc or a dentist that's clearly 10 even 20 years younger. haha.microkorg

There's 'controversy' in my redneck / good-old-boy rural neighborhood... whether or not the 'mountain lion' is back or if everyone is just seeing bobcats / lynx.
Early this morning my pup and I walked right up on a big BIG fuzzy kitty.
When we first encountered it — it was staring at us head-on like this guy:
When it finally turned and ran off it's coloring / body size from the side looked exactly like this guy:
It was literally on the other side of a little 2-way street about 20 feet from us, right on the edge of the woods. My pup didn't freak out and the cat didn't react much to us — we just stopped and stared at each other once I caught in my flashlight.
Bobcat / Lynx look like this:
That is not what we came across
- Oh my god, what a beautiful animal. Is that first shot yours?Continuity
- Ah, no, I just saw the 'like this guy'.
Still.Continuity - no no... it was 2am and I had a leash in one hand and a flashlight in the other - not to mention I was a bit scared... I did not get a shot off. :(PonyBoy
- My last words here would be "here kitty kitty kitty"fooler
- your last words, be sure fooler ;)OBBTKN
- Whatever you saw Kevin, they are magnificent animals, in Spain the lynx is recovering from extinction... and it is a formidable animal.OBBTKN
- that's some pussyutopian
- Did it have a long tail? That’s your clue.monNom
- long tail, mon... just like pic 2PonyBoy
- Scary to encounter a predator like that at 2am. It probably wanted to eat your dog.monNom
- Are sure it wasn't a saber toothed tiger?utopian
