My wife, 38, objectively gorgeous, is fully on the botox train and it breaks my heart. Feels like its so prevalent a sizeable chunk of the population must have full on body dysmorphia.

I have been slim my whole life apart from that one year I perfected mac & cheese.

Maybe I’m not up to date on the situation but it seems weird the article doesn’t mention the construction of an international airport inside the Vjosa-Narta Protected Landscape, a sanctuary for over 200 bird species, including flamingos and endangered Dalmatian pelicans. It’s basically opposite the island they want to develop. I visited Vlora unaware of all the plans, and a big draw for me was visiting this habitat and seeing the birds. Its a beautiful place, sad to see Albania being fucked by developers and ruining their coastline.

Advertising peaked in '98 with this piece of art. The data people are in charge of the industry now, all creativity and fun is long gone.

Unless you see it coming via unofficial means which is not uncommon in large companies. When the same department roles are advertised in bulk in different countries for example, restructuring like this is rarely done en masse so when one department goes, people start to wonder if they’re next and do some digging.

Also please complete this live brief that’s not actually a test, we just want the work doing for free.

They just partnered with Adobe. I have mixed feelings about this, as someone working in the creative industries. I have used AI to do some amazing things, and recently figured out how to use Claude to automate some boring, non-creative and time-consuming worklflows. This all, in theory is freeing me up to spend more time on the fun creative stuff, the problem is that nobody values creativity any more because they can just outsource that to AI.

Maybe not particularly relevant in your industry, but I’ve been freelancing for a few years now and found physically going in to a company is the best way to get new clients. It’s very easy to ignore emails and calls, making a connection in the real world is so much more engaging. I have given up on LinkedIn and going after work the traditional way.

Seems like user error, I’m no programmer but even I lnow you don’t give an agent access to critical things, and Claude is very insistent at asking for permission at every step.

I wonder if the tethering is any good. Lightroom is pretty bad compared to Capture One and I’m not aware of many other alternatives.

It’s a bit like overdoing wasabi, I don’t really do it deliberately and don’t particularly enjoy it in the moment, but it makes me feel very alive!

Solid effort only let down by the lack of sansetsukon.

Been there done that last time round! Hoping to save the house this time but divorce law is not in my favor.

I mean technically still married but working on the happy part lol

I met my wife on Tinder in 2021. Recently reinstalled it and holy fucking shit it’s changed so much. Feels like a pay to play game now.

Nice

This will be me in a few weeks. Wife walked out on me and she owns all the furniture so minimalist space here we come. Great for VR and I can set up a little photo studio, with space left over for my crying chair!

Nanami Togarachi, it’s a Japanese seasoning with chilli, orange peel, sesame, ginger, seaweed and sancho pepper. Looks and tastes fantastic, I put it on everything.

Wow that must be a US thing then, NHS in the UK definitely doesn’t send unqualified midwives into the field!
