Idle Thoughts
The tragedy of human existance is that we're aware of our existance.

blog
Regular client enquired about doing a nwe batch of a job and mentioned they'd changed their branding. Their branding historically really hasn't been integral to their product - their product IS their brand.
Brand looks like it's been designed by someone most of you know and some of you love, which makes sense because I know my client has a strong connection with said designer.
I don't much like and I particularly don't respect the new branding. It actually strongly reminds me of [design-related brand] but fuckit, it's twice the height of their old brand, so from my perspective likely means I can charge 80% more than prior.
That twat in me is itching to say something to them.
I won't, of course. I just hope they don't ask.
- eh?shapesalad
- Something that didn't need changing was, and I don't get why, but i'm not going to complain as it'll be better for me, unless they ask my opinion.Nairn
- Bigger logo, bigger fabrication, bigger price. Who designed it?monospaced
- you took "can we make the logo bigger?" and judo-flipped it into making more money. Well played.monNom

Is today a good day to get DOGE?
Feel like I'm missing out on all the fun!
Shall I get £100 worth?- YesSlashPeckham
- no.inteliboy
- Perfect illustration to retail buying the topdrgs
- So that's 1-1. I'll go with the first to 3.Hayzilla
- Yup, DOGE has topped then. Thanks for heads up, Hayzilla.NBQ00
- Hayzilla, do it as an experimentdrgs
- If you can afford to lose $100 and want to do it for the fun, then do it. I got $30 worth at 6c and thought it was just a silly fun thinghardhat
- Went up to 8 then dropped and I thought “oh well, that’s that”. Spiked ages later to 36c (and then dropped again) but figured I might as well just play the gamehardhat
- At this point, I wouldn't go near it. Wouldn't surprise me if it dropped substantially by the end of the week.Continuity
- I too think it’s gonna spike w/ Elon on SNL and then go south. But then I decided against buying a rig to mine BTC ~10y ago bc it was gonna cost £600...hardhat

Politically Correct OTD
Has political correctness gone too far?
https://vegoutmag.com/news/eleve…
Eleven Madison Park Is Reopening as an All-Vegan Restaurant
This June, NYC’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant—Eleven Madison Park (EMP)—will reopen with a new, 100% plant-based menu. Owner and chef, Daniel Humm, recently announced the relaunch is set for June 10.- lol at thinking vegan is political correctness...inteliboy
- It is when you give in to the capitalist machine that promotes this so called "sustainability" craze.palimpsest
- so the existing vegan restaurant upsets you? i don't like vegan as much as the next guy, but I'm not forced to eat there.pango
- its part of capitalism. there's a market for vegan, there will be vegan restaurants.pango
- what pango said. PC is usually social / political -- not environmental.inteliboy
- Thank you both for your feedback. I've revised my stance and now believe sustainability is something we should all strive for.palimpsest
- Vegans do not care if everyone reduces their meat consumption by 50% - you're only worthy if you are 100% vegan. You have to control your food intake thoroughlydrgs
- and in detail, according to vegan canons. Vegans want to be pure and socially superior, above anything else (animals/environment...drgs

- I don't know that this is specifically political correctness but yes, PC has gone way too far.MondoMorphic
- some said pure vegan diet gives one vegan powers, such as telekinesis. however due to how powerful these powers can be, one must register with vegan police.pango
- the only thing i don't like about vegans is vegansGuyFawkes
- I don’t know a single vegan who would be mad at you for eating 50% less meat, drgsscarabin
- Ending meat consumption actually could be the difference between your kids getting to live in a decent world or not. It's the opposite of a trivial concern.yuekit

Coronavirus
How much politics is there in covidomania?
The Liberals Who Can’t Quit Lockdown
https://www.theatlantic.com/poli…"For many progressives, extreme vigilance was in part about opposing Donald Trump. Some of this reaction was born of deeply felt frustration with how he handled the pandemic. It could also be knee-jerk. “If he said, ‘Keep schools open,’ then, well, we’re going to do everything in our power to keep schools closed,” Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine at UC San Francisco, told me. Gandhi describes herself as “left of left,” but has alienated some of her ideological peers because she has advocated for policies such as reopening schools and establishing a clear timeline for the end of mask mandates. “We went the other way, in an extreme way, against Trump’s politicization,” Gandhi said. Geography and personality may have also contributed to progressives’ caution: Some of the most liberal parts of the country are places where the pandemic hit especially hard, and Hetherington found that the very liberal participants in his survey tended to be the most neurotic."

- just as trump and brexit did, covid has split people into two opposing camps, neither of which will countenance the others' point of view.hans_glib
- in each case. both sides have their own truth, inviolate and indupitable.hans_glib
- I stopped posting in this thread for months. It wasn't only trump, folks give you funny eye just for saying 'herd immunity' here because Boris said it once.kingsteven
- I agree that many people allow themselves to fall into these tribal factions. It's wild. Me, I'm sticking with the science and over-indexing on not getting ill.nb
- eg. It's becoming clear that being outside is pretty safe regardless of group, masks, distance, etc. I like outside. Love patios. Love the park, love the beach.nb
