Pizza of the Day
This was an experiment a few months ago, fresh mozarella, figs, onion reduction in balsamic vinegar and shitake mushrooms
- phew... delicate!neverscared
- Maybe this is absolutely amazing, but figs on pizza sounds super gross. I'd be open to tasting and being completely converted :)jagara
- I forgot to mention some of the cheese is goat cheese.dmay
- Okay. You're not helping.jagara
- figs for the winAQUTE
- Looks like it'd be tasty. not sure how the mushrooms fit though tastewise. Definitely like hot sweet fruit on a pizza. (banana!)microkorg

Grafician Hate Why?
I work with a Romanian guy that is very like graf. Took me a while on the job to realise he wasn't the boss (and everyone else was just too nice to tell him to shut the fuck up).
My Romanian critiques everything i do - everything... edits, type treatment, pacing, composition, branding, audio... like I haven't been doing it professionally for 25 years... then pumps out some of the worst design I've ever seen in my life.
Guy has zero professional courtesy, client hates him and his work, wants to get rid of him but we've explained he'll end up having to pay 4x to replace him because he loves doing all the work no one else wants to do.
After a few years I can filter out the bullshit. It's only work and I can take critique. I like the guy, we talk about gardening.
Maybe one day Grafician will do the gardening.
- Though he's Romanian he's more like a Canada Goose—soaring high, leading the way... and shitting on everything.palimpsest
- It's an Eastern European/Slavic thing. I know a few Russians who are exactly the same. Dunning Krueger, realised bipedally.Nairn
- yep, hate to stereotype but i think a bit of the graf hate is due to cross-cultural misunderstanding.kingsteven
- lol. Are all Romanians like grafician?NBQ00
- no - graficain is just an incorrigible fuckwit._me_
- and yes i spelt his name incorredctly_me_
- germans are the worst.... dont even get me started with austrians...neverscared
- bratwrurst, sauerkraut and an eery precision to the straightline... terrible.neverscared
- The sad thing is that graf believes that is how Europeans behave.palimpsest
- "My Romanian" lol sounds like a toy pet.stoplying
- What all this have to do with me?
Should I fill a thread with stories about all the entitled pricks that happen to be Americans, Brits, Germans, etc. I've metgrafician - But sure, project hardergrafician
- ^Go ahead palimp I even gave you more grammar baitgrafician
- also imagine all the people here making any assumptions irl about other nationalities based on the trash we post here
That would be something...grafician - Dear graf,
I was not the one that took the bait. Are you projecting?
I am also not the one that excuses my behavior with my provenance.palimpsest - I've always admitted to be being an asshole and the merit is all mine.palimpsest
- again, what all this have to do with me?
also who cares if you're an asshole? or whoever else around heregrafician - assumptions like most of us come here because an Irish guy and and Scottish guy are posting memes? and an english guy that lives in scotland that likes recordskingsteven
- and the anecdotes of a man descended from Scottish oat cakeskingsteven
- Graf,
If you've paying attention, I have always offered my time and patience to help those that are having any type of trouble navigating QBN.
Hold my hand.palimpsest - @kingsteven so you're coming here for the content, then what's all this bickering about?
I come here for the content, I post as sort of a bookmarks librarygrafician - Here we go!
This is a thread about why some people hate you.
One of the common topics/reasons is your attitude towards others.palimpsest - WHY would you care enough about me more than my content?
I find all this fuss disturbing...grafician - On this post ks offers his personal account of a similar or relatable experience with one of your countrymen. Do you see the link?palimpsest
- How and why would I take anybody around here seriously when you act like this?
I don't - by default - because I have a life somewhere else, I come here for cografician - ntentgrafician
- The suggestion is that it's a cultural issue. Which is reinforced (to my understanding) by your multiple arguments of "this is how we do it in Europe".palimpsest
- So all this fuss for me is something like "all these people are really weird, but some of the stuff posted here is useful"grafician
- Maybe now you will get why I am being dismissive or whatever
I'm not here to make friends, I am just curious about the content and that's thatgrafician - So all this effort you're putting into trying to insult me or write all kinds of crap, it's all you
If this is how you make fun, go ahead, Idcgrafician - one more thing: it's really funny to notice that the people that bicker or make all this fuss are the ones that post the less
But you do you
Pa pagrafician - You're not being dismissive. You've really engaging in the discourse. Because it matters to you and me.
We're moving forward.palimpsest - I think we all know that you're not here to make friends, you're here to win
And by your standards you are winning.palimpsest - You care about the quality of your posts and by your own judgement they are top notch.
There is something that bothers you about how we see you as a person.palimpsest - Do you see as unfair because people are not engaging you in the (battle)field of your choice?palimpsest
- It's not that you care about our opinion but what we choose to judge you on?palimpsest
- @graf yeah i have no issue. i only made this post because i'm sure some of the bickering is due to miscommunication. your lack of self deprecation, willingnesskingsteven
- to take the L, never stepping down, making your own rules, it is cultural to a part i'm sure. but when you don't provide any background for example my friends'kingsteven
- interest in gardening, it doesn't make for an endearing presence and i think that triggers a lot of people on here. i get more annoyed by people downvotingkingsteven
- your good posts than i get annoyed at your bad ones... and that's about it for me.kingsteven

Ad of the day
In Germany, Volkswagen just pulled their latest 2 minutes manifesto spot after a magazine found out a big part of the text is just the Apple spot from 2013.
I think some people at DDB slept very badly...The comparison of the lines:
The Apple Spot:
The pulled VW Spot:
- Was it DDB Berlin that did this? They've got a ... questionable reputation on the market.Continuity
- I don't know which office it was but they built a new unit just for VW with some really talented and experienced people.Longcopylover
- "Team Beetle" headed up by Amir Kassaei.
According to meedia.de: "Wie nun seine weitere Karriere bei DDB für VW weitergeht, muss abgewartet werden." FLOL!Continuity - This sounds very much like another Omnicom shitshow, Team X for Mercedes — antoni, TLGG (most recent agency where I worked), and a couple of others.Continuity
- I'm told by former colleagues that it's turned into an out of control perpetual toilet flush.Continuity

- True. Very slow at times. I don't like YT, but I've been thinking for a while about transferring customer accounts to their platform...OBBTKN
- i host a lot of work vimeo [ work and personal ] and even on full wifi - takes like 10seconds to load - thata a missed pitch_me_
- I've always found Vimeo a pretty miserable experience tbh.webazoot
- I got told off by Vimeo for using too much bandwidth, true story. They made me have a video call so they could tell me to knock it off. 2TB / month is the cap.slappy

Elon Musk
Isn't he done commercially/ business-wise?
He antagonised and pissed off like 50% of the political spectrum. And pissed off like 80% of the Tesla base. And those in future who may be Tesla fans and would consider buying one may refrain from buying because they're afraid of their car being vandalised or experiencing other bad stuff.
Tesla sales down worldwide and as long as he's politically involved and CEO of the company I can't see it getting better.
- How is this related to Islam?palimpsest
- ^ Haha!! Elon used his platform to suggest the UK was being overrun by Islam. He was using X to create political unrest around the world.Ianbolton
- NBQ licked the arsehole out of that story!Ianbolton
- No, I was anti-Islam long before he posted stuff about it. And I will continue to be anti-Islam no matter how often you call me racist and other stuff.NBQ00
- And it's true that we in the west are letting Islam do as they please and often they can't even do these things in their own countries of origin.NBQ00
- Too many idiots like you Ian, who are too PC and virtue signalling and defend anything of Islam just to not be called racist.NBQ00
- I rest my case.palimpsest
