    they upped my rent this weekend by $50.

    best friend purposed to his woman and she said yes.

    diablo 3 ladder season started.

    my rent is officially late as of today.

    suppose to rain for the next 3 days.

    working all week for a company (freelance/contract/in office)

    trained 4 people on wordpress basics this weekend and made $600.

    friend drove me to this house in alhambra, ca where this lady cooks and serves tacos out of her house to the public only on weekends.. it was delicious.

    got invited to join a middle earth tabletop RPG. can't decide which to play:

    a giant that was raised as a hobbit by a family of halflings and gets offended when you mention his height

    a large spider who lives in the branches of an ent he rides around like master blaster

    a claustrophobic dwarf who's afraid of the dark

    a lycaphobic man who hates on werewolves but secretly is one

    an annoying vegan orc

    a mopey bard who only does sad, new-wave covers of other bards' songs

    a wizard who is dumbfounded by card tricks and can't grow a beard

    • Vegan orc!pango
    • .... i'll go with the werewolf onemugwart
    • annoying vegan orc reminds me of someone...play with either spider or with the bard from Asterix.

    • Mugwart you must get annoyed by people talking shit about vegan all the time lol sorry man.pango
    • i think i may go with the giant 'cause it'll be fun to smash thingsscarabin

    • i actually think that vegan stereotype is bullshit but thought it would be funny for an orcscarabin
    • @pango! I get a lot of shit, most from over weight people! I hate hippy vegans more than the next guy, we do have a fucking terrible image!! bully away!mugwart
    • ^ Look at the vegan making sure everyone knows he's vegan. Typical smug vegan! Boohissbooi_monk
    • so you aren't we got that. but whatever why is it important for you what he eats? :) you should be glad that he is leaving you more.sted
    • ^ i_monk - I was asked a question I answered. Nowhere before hand did I state I was vegan! moany meat eater!mugwart
    • Lol ok I feel bad now.pango
    • I was joking, cripes.i_monk

    Wife and I started watching Veep on HBO tonight, and it's hilarious how much it feels like someone said "let's give Buster from Arrested Development a little more brains, and build a show around him." Everyone's funny on here, but I can't not watch it imagining that it's Buster.

    • He's a late edition to veep, no?detritus
    • he's the veep's bag man - in it from the start, I think.Fax_Benson
    • Had to stop watching after s2, they were all just being unfunny dicks to each other.i_monk
    • The profanity is a bit excessive and distracting. I think it could be a smarter show and overall funnier with 50% less f-bombs.mg33
    • I kind of thought the same but the last two series (seasons) were fantastic. the cut-throat venality and nastiness is key to how show developsFax_Benson
    • There are some genuinely creative, foul-mouthed put-downs.Fax_Benson

    bought earbudz on Amazon.

    didnt like 'em.

    leave a bad review.

    company contacted me asking to change my review and give 5 stars.

    told me to choose any model i want for free in exchange.

    received new earbudz 3 days later.

    i like the new model.

    that means, dont believe the hype when a product have 5 stars on Amazon. #lol

    • oooohhhhhhh snap! good call Benn. Did they even make you ship the old ear buds back?capn_ron
    • I'd go back and change it to how it was now you have the free earbuds, fuck them.

    • No I kept the first one :) I sold 'em to someone :)Bennn
    • the brand is Mpow if you're interested. First model I bought was really shitty, the new model I asked is good.Bennn
    • i hope that your sales pitch included that it has 5 stars on amazon :)sted
    • Heh, same thing here. Mpow. The new ones they gave me are superb though, def 5-stars. They're a good company.fyoucher1
    • haha :DBennn
    • I really like the new model they gave me tooBennn
    • Should have bargained with them, see how much they are willing to give you for a review :)yuekit
    • >dont believe the hype
      The 'trend' is to write that you "received them for free" in the review.
      Peter
    • Go back and give 2 stars on the new ones. When they contact you, give them my address for the next pair. Then change your review back to 5. Thanks, Benfal!chukkaphob
    • hehe :DBennn
    • I should write this review to piss them off: "The first pair was shitty, the pair they gaveme for free in exchange for 5 starts is shittier. dont buy"Bennn

    It's awkward to put my foot down about scope creep for clients that are outside of advertising. When the client and the client side producer have zero web experience, they're always unprepared to be cut off. I have an iron clad contract and scope of work defined and signed, but despite the warnings they keep trickling in changes instead of giving all-encompassing notes, burning rounds like they have very deep pockets for change orders. Today is the day - no change order, no changie. Sorry guys but labor is labor and I'll work forever with indecisive people as long as they're paying for their "let's try this" exploration after each round.

    *smokes blunt* or we can just launch it like this. The end.

    • Fire them!OBBTKN

    life of an image in 2017:

    sauce -> irc -> reddit/4chan -> tumblr -> twitter/facebook

    • yeah, it's sad to see how much bilge in the relevant threads here is just churn from fucking imgur.detritus
    • What's weird are the sorts of people who seem to make a career out of recycling it - I don't get that, is it like some sort of competition with themselves?detritus
    • don't blame imgur it's an image hosting service not a social media platform. i also use it to re-post images what you can't find elsewhere.sted
    • and for example reddit/flickr cache changes the image urls after some time so you're fucked if you post something from there.sted
    • I bdon't blame the websites - I go through imgur every day myself, as I assume many people do - just don't want to see teh same content here, for the +1sdetritus
    • how does irc fit into this chain? i thought that was for chatting back in the dayscarabin
    • 'Slack-a-likes'? Dunno, but if the amount of code on gitub for reaction gifs et al is anything to go by, it's a significant vector.detritus
    • irc is still alive and well and it's not about just text :)sted
    • interestingscarabin
    • man i havent used irc since mp3-punk on some server i cant even remember

    • I think IRC may become resurgent again.
      There's certainly place for a fundamental- level messaging system, outiwth all the proprietary shit
