    so, I look young for my age. i'm 32. and younger women keep coming after me. like, attractive ones. I'm dating a girl right now, I think she could be 22... but I haven't actually asked. she knows my age.

    ...I personally don't see any problem with dating someone younger as long as they are interesting and I enjoy them, but I do feel a little weird about it. At least I don't look like an old man dating a college girl... thoughts?

    • don't overthink it. that's my only thought. if you're having fun and she is too, just enjoy it.capn_ron
    • I forget ... are you a woman?monospaced
    • username threw me off, but I guess you're a guy since you said you "don't look like an old man"monospaced
    • as you age, the desires / wants of the relationship change. very few older men want to be footloose & fancy free. very few women are trying to settle earlyimbecile
    • I look much younger as well, as fun as it is, it is a waste of both parties time until you make a decision regarding what you wantimbecile
    • lol mono - I've been unsure for ages especially recently.fadein11

    • Wait till about 35, then your choices get exponential, young woman and older as well. A little grey hair is a chick magnet.robotron3k

    I just saw a guy post this on FB:

    "I've Done It

    If all the men who have sexually harassed or assaulted women wrote "I've Done It" as a status (even in addition to "I Believe You,") then perhaps we could start to comprehend the magnitude of the problem and begin to solve it.

    I have spoken, behaved, and acted inappropriately towards women. I've make every effort to grow, but still I need to learn, to listen, do more to help. Women are not alone in this struggle, and we (men) need to be better so they can just... BE.

    *copy and paste*"

    pretty brave and humble thing to do, imo.

    • what about all the women who have sexually assaulted or harassed other women? or men for that matter? I keep reading equality, but seeing sexism.imbecile
    • i'm sure they can post this too.sarahfailin
    • Women wouldnt do sex, they might do testimonial like, "Yes, I've done it. I sleep/dated/married a guy for his money... But I'm trying to be better."robotron3k
    • who was the one cutting off your testicles?pr2
    • To be fair I think I knew more racists and sexist girls then men. I know more women to take advantage of blokes.

    Think Harvey Weinstein will ever work again?

    • Does he need to? Unless he's in jail, take his money and do other shit.ArmandoEstrada
    • they always work again somehow even if its by proxy via someone elses name.shellie
    • I was expecting (maybe hoping) he might eat a bulletPonyBoy
    • tell us how it tastes Ponyimbecile
    • lol... what did I do to deserve to eat a bullet, imbecile? ...and WOW you've really grown up to be right stinky pile of human shit, dude... congrats!! :DPonyBoy
    • Hopefully not, he shouldn't have been anyway, he abused people in many ways not just sexually. A bona fide sociopath who makes Steve Jobs look likefadein11
    • Mother Theresa. Whats odd is that it wasn't just those close who knew, you only had to read a couple of books about 90's Hollywood to know it all. So strange hefadein11

    We're now going to Prague. In October. She's Italian and wanted some hint of sun before Winter sets in. Oh well.

    .

    Also, turns out that the booking system I was using didn't actually require passport numbers up front, so that's another massive argument in my future.

    Really annoying thing is that she insisted she was going to book, last week. Somehow she didn't and somehow everything thereafter is my fault.

    • prague looks much better when the weather is shit.hans_glib
    • true - is very atmospheric in a dank fogFax_Benson
    • I went to Prague and didn't pay for a train ticket the whole time... The barriers were open everywhere and never saw an inspector...
      ********
    • My girlfriend at the time went a few months after me and asked for tips. I said don't bother paying for the train. They got arrested on their first day hahaha
      ********
    • She's Italian what would you expect? It obviously your fault. Everything. Forever. I'm Portuguese, I'm always guilty. You will learn to live it it. Adapt.

    Can someone please share the link fro the digital camera thread?

    I will have some money to invest in material and would like to place a question without starting a new thread.

    l'm also thinking in buying a Epson Perfection V550 scanner and a Intuous to replace my Bamboo.

    • Great scanner. Get some scanning glass as well. Let me know if you want any help on thismugwart
    • there was a time when I used a scanner several times daily for design stuff. Now I only use it when I need to scan a document for my lawyer or accountantGnash
    • I feel you Gnash but I'm seriously thinking in going back to the old days as I want to make my living out of my skills.

    Someone in Networking must have implemented a new web filter, because everything (not this site though, lol) is blocked. I'm not asking for every little site I piss off on to be unblocked.

    Guess I'll just have to fire up my proxy server from home in the mornings. You guys really showed me!

    I presented some work a few minutes ago and a UXD inquired "Is that an h1 you're using there?"

    "Yes, I believe so. I'm using the current site guidelines for h1, h2, h3, subheads and body."

    "Hmmm. I don't think it should be an h1 here. It's just too long. The text is too long. I think it should be an h2."

    "Ok. Let's talk that through for a moment. The text is still TBD from our copywriter so it can definitely be shortened if it indeed is too long. Also, I'm not sure I'd suggest creating a new class for..." yada yada a few valid points made as to why this is a shit idea.

    The text was "Lorem Ipsum Dolar Resami Setasi"

    I know I'm new here but what the fuck.

    • at least you didn't have to explain why it's latin text - I had to do that yet again recentlyfadein11

  • detritus3

    I cleverly avoided the paperclip thing here when babysnakes first posted, then certain suspects when they started reporting progress, then even when my friend who introduced me to http://adarkroom.doublespeakgame… taunted me with it on skype.

    But then I slipped.

    Why oh why?
