https://x.com/elonmu…Nairn - i'm so.. disappointed in this mess of a twat. I almost liked him once, many years ago when he was just a nerd doing cool things.
But now I want to headbutt himNairn - it was paedogate that sunk the boat for me, and I mean, well done that fucker, he always finds new depths, but I didn't think he could sink any more.Nairn
- Full Paul Verhoeven movie villain arc is almost completePhanLo
- Nairn, give that some thought. All that's changed is you've learned you and Musk aren't on the same page politically. Is that reason to not like someone?MondoMorphic
- He was a mere disappintment a few years back, now he is an unhinged desperation- compensating billionaire who has a massively dangerous sway.Nairn

Perfume/Aftershave
We moved house recently and I unearthed my old scents, which had lain dormant for a near decade, so I started a light dabbing after my morning ablutions.
One scent's still a favourite and works, subtly. Another - from the same brand - most mostly untouched so I added a spritz of that one day and spent the rest of the day gagging 'cos it fucking stank. I need to throw that shit out.
.
Just checked, apparently the one I like has been discontinued. Why does everything I like get cancelled?! It was Eau de Cartier. I guess I best be careful with the bottle...
- https://bloomperfume…
just sayinghans_glib - Yeah. I saw that when trying to find out where the fuck it'd gotten to. My bottle's pretty full and when I use it, I do so very sparingly so it should lastNairn
- because we can't have nice things.pango
- Nothing lasts forever Nairn. Especially smells!Ianbolton
- Yo Cartier perfumes are good! If it's been kept in the dark in decent temps it could be ok! Depends on the level in the bottle.cruddlebub
- Pasha de Cartier EDP is amazing! (Silver cap with blue top) If you can get it discounted it's worth every penny! Super winter fragcruddlebub
- Actually it's the parfum version not esp
https://www.fragrant…cruddlebub - Oh, it's fine - it's probably changed a little in all these years, but it still smells ok to me. It'll have to do either way!Nairn
- I'll check those out next time I'm abroad.Nairn
- *edp fuckcruddlebub
- Perfume will only get better over time (if its stored well) they macerate and get stronger. They do have a shelf life but again, if stored well they'll be fine.cruddlebub
- Never had Nairn as a cologne guystoplying
- eh, I'm not much, and when I do I use so little it only has an intimate level of aroma. It's for me, not for anyone else. *mince*Nairn
- same heremonospaced
- Exactly. Wear perfume for yourself or partner. Not for anyone else. Get a compliment, that's a bonus.cruddlebub

Wordpress Discussion
I grew tired of WP.
All those email, wordfence notifications, back end and developer work, someone tried to login, plugins and updates, Elementor...
I also don't feel motivated anymore.
I'm in the need of rebuilding my portfolio and I just deleted Elementor from one of my websites. Fuck it.
I've been using Gutenberg only for almost two years.
But my main website also has Elementor installed and I even bought a Theme four years ago to work with it.
But I just can't anymore.
I just want to draw and paint.I'm even thinking about a career change, I'm gonna be 50 next year.
I know there's other threads for this.
I just want to upload my work and that's it.
No more nights building and doing maintenance and whatever.I have two unfinished websites from clients for two years now, they just don't send me the necessary information to finish it.
But honestly I just don't want to do more Webdesign and touch WP.
W*x? Fuck them.
C*rgo? When i try to navigate their website I get depressed.
Webfl*w? No time.I still think WP is the best but I just want to do one thing and that's it. Not checking regularly for stuff to repair or whatever.
I know Squ*respace is a bit on the expensive side and my work is not on my server but I've been dreaming about it for years.
Clean responsive design and voilá.
What do you guys think?
- I agree especially about the drawing and painting part_niko
- This post is a bit vague because I tried twice to post it and it disappeared. Because I wrote C*rgo. It was longer and better before. Sorry guys!oey_oey
- I went back to hand-coded pages. With all the tools and modern CSS we have nowadays it's actually easier than it used to be.evilpeacock
- Doesn't sound like WordPress is your problem it's the add on page builder crap you're using. Elementor is a bloated mess.dbloc
- Elementor is great on paper but try deleting, duplicating, moving elements around like you're supposed to on a Mac and find out how buggy it isprophetone
- The main problem for the last three years has been sitting in front of the computer in an total no productive way.oey_oey
- Too much bureaucracy related with so many things that at the computer stopped being my working tool for creative stuff.oey_oey
- I'd never heard of Elementor until now — I had a look at their site, and all I could think was, 'Ugh. Bloatware.' I moved to WP from Concrete about 10 years agoContinuity
- ... and it was a big mistake. By the time I was FINALLY finished with that version of my portfolio, I was so tired, I didn't want to do anything else with it.Continuity
- Editing it and maintaining it was absolutely eye-watering, I draded having to do it. A couple of months ago, I decided it was time for a new version of my ...Continuity
- ... and I went back to Concrete. I spent about a week re-teaching myself how to do it, but it was an absolute joy to use. WP can fuck itself with something big,Continuity
- ... wooden, and splintered.Continuity
- Everything I wanted to do with my portfolio I accomplished so much more simply with Concrete. I'd still be at it, if I was using WP.Continuity
- continuity, concretecms?_niko
- Yessir!
https://www.concrete…Continuity - I manged a few wp sites but over the years but try to avoid wp now - the whole plugin ecosystem is such a bloated mess.jamesbeat
- I too enjoy hand coding sites, clean and simple. Kirby is a great replacement for wp if you need a lightweight backend. And drupal for more complex sitesjamesbeat
- I found framer, while expensive, does the trick. You can know a decent site in a day, and looks 2020 (and WP doesn’t)maikel
- I tried to customize a squarespace site for a client, it was kind of limiting if you have requirements or ideas that are outside of their boxjamesbeat
- what do you guys mean hand coding sites? css, html, javascript, text editor and that's it?oey_oey
- I'm working on a block theme based on 2024, that should allow me to set up a basic functioning site in seconds with logo, colors and type.uan
- in WP?oey_oey
- then i want to code block patterns based on my theme for the different components a site needs.
meanwhile the internet tells me I should try ghost.orguan - @Maikel we talked about this on Discord when you were using it. It looks really good — just a shame there's no self-hosting.Continuity
- this year is the first time I do web in a long time. my goal is to be able to work in vscode, upload to server and don't touch wp interface.uan
- Hand coding, 2024: semantic, dry HTML, postCSS, Webpack for JS, all bundled in a static site generator for convenience, 11ty is a solid optionjamesbeat
- Framer feels like the modern-day Flash we've been waiting for. You can create without any coding knowledge, but the power of raw code is right there if you wanthotroddy
- With ChatGPT you can be an instant react developer on Framer!hotroddy
- Framer is a great prototyping tool too.hotroddy

i have.... let me check... a dolce gabbana. someone left it at my previous place so i picked it up.
never really bought perfume cuz i just don't smell in general...
i do quite like CK's black bottle tho.

- Hahaha I don't understand this "people who wear perfume stink" people who stink... Stink of B.O and sweat... Not perfume lolcruddlebub
- It's always too much. People develop a tolerance and use more and more. Ew.jagara
- i always thought that's why the french started the perfume thing. cuz paris stinks or something. *i know my impression might not be historically accurate lolpango
- You're not too wrong. Perfume has been used all over the world for a very very very long time. 4000 odd years ago. But yeah the french are whiffycruddlebub

What would it take for the UK Monarchy to fuck off?
Protests? Signed petitions? Electing a political party who promise to do it with a referendum?
Is there actually any way it could happen or are they still more powerful than government and we need need an actual civil war?
- to what end, tho? so we can have our own orange horror?hans_glib
- Aren't there richer, and much worse, people to get mad about? People with actual power over gov't and society.i_monk
- historically, monarchies get abolished by revolutions, or they are replaced by republics through democratic processes.uan
- the uk monarchy is special. everybody, from full anarchist punk to right wing businessman I've ever met in the uk LOVED the queen and owned a mug with her faceuan
- Half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population.PhanLo
- "Anarchist punk..." Loving monarchy? Sorry, but, or it is not anarchist or not punk...OBBTKN
- I say UK is special :-) I don't know if they love monarchy, but they love the queen mugs.uan
- Queen died, get over itgrafician
- Rip Fred Mercuryi_monk
- Uk is special.cherub
- UK royal family (still) has an innordinate amount of power and influence over how things are run.face_melter
- the queen and Charles have meddled in government affairs for decades, usually to only benefit themselves - property law, taxes, etc.face_melter

FUCK ADOBE!
I have a 16 inch M1 Max with 32 GB of memory and when I try to export or resize an 5MB animated gif, every click gives me a beach ball that can’t even spin and I have to wait 10 to 30 seconds for it to become responsive again. Then I change one other thing like scale % or color palette.... 10 to 30 seconds wait.
Unreal.
- And I got DVs for stating the same fucking thing a post before :))grafician

Joe Rogan of the Day
Just in case you needed another reason to hate this clown...hopefully his viewership plummets and he disappears with Trump into the sunset and off the edge of that flat earth....
- Why would this affect his viewership? A third of the country supports Trump and another third don’t carenb
- Kamala's team only reached out to Rogan after Trump got on, they also wanted the interview on their terms/location and only wanted to do a 45m interviewYakuZoku
- Oh, so a total nobody endorses a piece of human garbage on Election Day. Who gives AF!?monospaced
- There it is.palimpsest
- As much of a nobody he is, it's still 40 million views of him sucking Trumps dick. That's kinda influential? Just like Musk is playing an influential role tooIanbolton
- Not all of his supporters share his political views ffs.monospaced
- The other candidate wouldn’t come talk to him on equal terms. Who was he supposed to support?monNom
- The Venn diagram of Rogan and Trump supporters is a circle with slightly blurred edges.garbage
- What the F is wrong with you people???Hayoth
- I'm not saying all his supporters are trump support you turnip. I'm suggesting the 40 million or so views only adds to the trump heterodox.Ianbolton
- to say harris wouldn't do it is to be willfully ignorant of the small window and location she was given to make it work by roganimbecile
- Just like Musk and J.Peterson add to it too. It's a cult.Ianbolton
- high level of ego to expect both candidates to come to him last minute the week of an election.imbecile
- and painfully stupid of the the american public to judge harris for not jumping through such hoops simply because trump took to the podcast circuitimbecile
- harris is still vp while trump is schilling whatever this week.imbecile
- What did musk say to convince Rogan? Also who would have imagined 30 years ago the most influential man in America was the hack host from fear factor lol_niko
- If only there was a Joe Rogan fan on QBN to give us his honest opinion.palimpsest
- @imbecile "to say harris wouldn't do it is to be willfully ignorant of the small window and location" Trump showed up and was 2 hours late to his next KKK rallyYakuZoku
- I fear the left thinks they have it in the bag just like they did with HillaryYakuZoku
- to write off Rogan as if no one watches is a huge mistake.YakuZoku
- Trump reached something like 47M views on that podcast. It didn't cost him one dollar. For Kamala to ignore that large an audience is negligence in the extreme.monNom
- If you're getting to speak to 47M people for free, you make room in your schedule, bottom line. Shockingly bad judgement to not do Rogan. Didn't even send Tim.monNom
- I'll say it again, the Dems were fucking stupid to underestimate Trump. He got the backing of some BIG players on some big platforms - like Rogan.Ianbolton
- They didn't underestimate him this time. Butt there is no legal way to stop him from running that wasn't explored with full resources.monospaced
