Discord is a strange concept. The original use (live communication between gamers) makes complete sense. Then they made it a wider community covering every conceivable topic. They basically made Discord Reddit-like. But not as a forum with posts and replies, but as a continuous chat.
I see how it's very relevant for smaller closed communities, but as a general tool for discussion in an open server with thousands of people continuously adding comments in an endless linear stream, I struggle to find it useful. I find it stressfull too, tbh.
Am i missing the point? What do you use it for?
- It’s a fucking mess. Agreed.monospaced
- to get access to circles of knowledge and help that aren't visible on the web.uan
- it's still social media robbing your attention and marketing worthless stuff, but the closest to the early forms of IRC protocoll I know.uan

@robotinc
Here you go, dinner tonight. A bowl of tonkotsu ramen with my smoked shio tare, garlic and ginger aroma oil — along with all the usual goodies (chashu, menma, ajitama, spring onions) and guest-starring seasoned woodear mushrooms. Divine.
I'm telling you man, whip yourself up a batch of this tare, it's a real game-changer for tonkotsu.

I was thinking a little about the jaguar logo, and while I agree that it’s not good, I think I may understand where the inspiration is coming from.
The most interesting (only interesting?) thing they’ve released in decades are the Waymo cars. Of course most people will only know the Waymo brand as the self driving tech but it’s still a jaguar.
Are they trying to lean into tech? Waymo is going to be massive, could kill Uber and Lyft. Easily. So jaguar might be trying to hook themselves to the back of that train. Could be a growth driver.
Hence, the goofy tech logo that doesn’t even feel like a tech company. Not surprising that they failed at the rebrand. Theyre trying to look like a tech company but they’re not one. We’ve all had clients like that — where the don’t embrace who they are. The resulting creative is usually blah on arrival.
- Interesting take.
The trend with EVs is indeed to make the cars look more friendly, even to the extreme - toy carsgrafician - Waymo isn’t a car company but I’m sure they’re concerned with look and feelnb
- agreed. They need a logo that nests tightly in their phone app UIhotroddy
- Who the fuck cates what they intended.cannonball1978
- I bet this kind of rationalization emerged somewhere down the line, but we're still witnessing decades of brand building being thrown away.sted
- I'm with sted. A luxury brand is earned and a goldmine once it has been earned. I hope they know what they're doing.skinny_puppy
- Interesting take.

For the love of art & design, please do not post "work" you've done using AI in the "Show some recent work" thread?
Out of respect for everyone that doesn't use AI to draw and design, can we please not blur the lines between man and machine, so legitimate artists don't have to deal with <prompt?> in the comments?
Start a new thread or just us the AI threads.
Why does this even need to be addressed? We're better than this.

Have my uplift.Continuity - Laterally, I'm absolutely not a fan of people snarkily and glibly commenting 'prompt?' in the notes when some posts something that's really, really good.Continuity

Sexual Harassment of the DAY
McGregor found guilty. What a scumbag.
- Seems completely without remorse too.PhanLo
- Rape too? Dang man, I guess money doesn't buy happiness or sex!canoe
- Money bought him freedom. A civil settlement for a fucking CRIMINAL act. He should be prosecuted but he absolutely bought the sex and happiness.monospaced
- Gives a bad name to the Irish!canoe
- Ridiculous comment canoe.mort_
- Sorry if I offended. It just seems with that much money, there's no need to force sex. And, I'm Irish, not a huge population of us on the planet.canoe
- Didn't know you were Irish. Me too. Do you see how thinking the acts of one scumbag reflect on Irish people as a whole is flawed thinking?mort_
- i've seen worse mental gymnastics from irish americans on twitter trying to process this information tbf. one lad claiming mcgregor is from the north lolkingsteven
- Yes I can see how what I said came across way more serious than meant to be communicated.canoe
- 70% Irish blood, the rest is UK and Alemania, totaling 100% American. Spent some time in Inesbofin, among other places, in laws have property in IRL.canoe
- I honestly don't know how this effects Irish people. What a flippant, and unthoughtful remark on my end. Do you have a take on it? I imgn som love em some don'tcanoe

for billing me directly 90% of the time instead of my insurance company. There are times I don't go to the doctor, knowing that the hassle won't be worth anything they do for me.
