Kids27 Reasons Why Kids Are Actually The Worst

"Sure, they’re innocent and sometimes adorable. But also, they’re awful."

1 Commenter I Identified with Wrote: 

"Why "child proof" when you could not have kids? Then if you get your jollies from children, donate your time or otherwise work with kids for daycare/education and much much later, "adopt" or whatever word is applicable, bring in teens as members of your family.
You never have to deal with the shit that happens with people whose minds are not there, painting shit, ruining shit and yet you get to experience "parenting" with other people's children, then the latter years where you actually have an intelligent person to relate to, becomes -actual- parenting for the last 7-9 years.
In those years, you'll get to deal with middle-school, high-school, your 'children' rebelling against you whenever you clash with their interests, their developing sexual identities and them being bullied at school, getting bad grades, getting into trouble...
Wanting driver's license, wanting to shoot guns, smoke, play the lottery, go to college [on your dime] total your vehicles because they didn't listen or were not properly attended to in learning to drive... etc. etc.
Once they leave the nest, you'll probably see them again a few times a year, then nothing for a long time, then maybe they'll visit you again more or less frequently after some thirty years."

At this point in my life, all I can say is:

Logo Design

I think I might want to show this to clients that I'm working for so they know what my goal is when designing their logo.

Building a good and effective logo from Chungkong !

Sampling Resolution Setting - Quark

Note to self

"When creating PDFs, what the difference between downsample subsample. How do I get the highest compression without loosing too much clarity?"

"Subsample is when a pixel is chosen and the surrounding area is replaced with that same pixel. Fastest output - least clarity.

Downsampling when pixels in a sample area are replaced with the average pixel color. Medium output - medium clarity

Bicubic downsampling is a wighted average of the pixels. Slowest output - best clarity.

I would test these out... See which one works best for your needs."

My favorite Comic Quote - JTHM

“The violent crimes? All perfectly natural in a society whose advances are limited to its technology. The basic behavior of the modern human is hardly different from that of its primitive ancestors, the only noticeable changes are trends. Whether in a quit or in a loincloth, people are ignorant little thorns, cutting into one another. The seem incapable of advancing beyond the violent tendencies which, at one time, were necessary for survival.”

People will forever be people. Human nature doesn't change, only trends do.

Marketing Can Be Evil

"Steve Jobs explicitly said that he founded Apple on the Polaroid model. Land understood that an enthusiastic demonstration of a new tech product is the best tool in the world for showing people that something they never knew they’d wanted was something they had to have. A generation later, Jobs did the same thing in turtleneck and jeans."

Video Games

I hate when people interpret games to be something more than what they are. If a person is an insane killing machine, they're going to be as such whether or not they played Mortal Kombat or any "violent" game.

I played all the twisted and violent games from since I was a kid. Now I'm a peace-loving hippy because I'm smart enough to see the difference and my parents taught me right from wrong.
