Hey y'all, I'm hoping I can get a few members to participate in this questionnaire I'm doing for an evening class. I'm a UX designer but I'm taking a class on research methodologies, since I have more of a design background. I'm conducting a few interviews about streaming music, and I'm in a bit of a pinch with conducting actual in-person interviews before tomorrow. In lieu of that, I'm hoping I can get a few participants to fill out this online questionnaire. It's all fill in the blank style, might take about 15 minutes, but feel free to skip any if not applicable. And if you want to share a photo of yourself taking the questionnaire, that'd be great too! ? https://…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50054044 " A family who spent nine years in a basement "waiting for the end of time" have been discovered by police in the Netherlands after the eldest son turned up at a local pub, reports say. A man, 58, and his six children - aged 16 to 25 - were living at a farm in the northern province of Drenthe. They were found after the son ordered beer at a bar in the nearby village of Ruinerwold, and then told staff he needed help, broadcaster RTV reported. Witnesses said the man looked confused. His family had been living in isolation waiting for the end of time, RTV reported. "He ordered five bee…

been reading some critical theory about work, which–considering the average employee wastes several hours a day, many of them browsing porn (suboptimal source, but hey, fite me), and that service employees, as a group, steal more than shoplifters every year–got me thinking it'd be interesting to hear if and how all y'all perceive and manage workplace boredom, general feelings of deprivation, etc. etc... there'd be reason to believe these stories more often than not remain untold, and that they should see the light of day. if not for finding common ground and solace, then at least for our entertainment i'll start: on the odd occasion that i do go to work (still studyi…

I don’t know if there’s a thread about this already, but lately I’ve been feeling helplessly suffocated by how it seems almost everything in daily life has been modified to take advantage of you or study you or market stuff to you with the use of profiling and algorithms. Every device or application that you buy or use somehow finds a way to either listen in on you or collect your personal information in ways that are anything but apparent. I’ve deactivated my Facebook account, I hardly use any other social media app, I’ve restricted all of my apps on my phone to the best of my knowledge from accessing my microphone and I limit (to the best of my abilities) how …

Yo guys anyone watching it? I remember the film from my youth which was excellent!!! I think its good the series on Netflix. Acting is a bit ropey but the Skeksis are very well done imo. I haven't got through the first episode yet though as I've been quite busy with other stuff. Thoughts?

Here's an interesting avatar generator - it mostly seems to generate kawaii (cute) avatars, and this one is Halloween-themed. If the site comes up in Japanese, choose the second option at the prompt (agree to play): https://picrew.me/image_maker/150684 Picrew also seems to have a general avatar generator: https://picrew.me/

Alright WATMM. Time for a fun game. Rules are simple. Draw an image of a recognizable face (actor, musician, politician, etc) that everyone has potential to recognize. People guess. Repeat. Drawings can be handdrawn, ms paint, etc. (whatever you feel comfortable with (but not too comfortable ... otherwise it'd be TOO EASY)). I'll start. Can you .. Guess The ((famous figure)) ??

Anyone quit vaping lately as a result of all the vape related illnesses? A co-worker has decided to quit using his Juul cold-turkey after the recent news. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/10/health/vaping-outbreak-2019-explainer/index.html What are people's thoughts on Trump's proposed bans on flavored vapes? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/11/health/trump-vaping.html I'd bought a few THC vapes from a friend recently, all were labeled under the "DANK" vape brand. I had definitely noticed there was a difference in color/consistency between a few of the different flavors, and a co-worker started telling me about how that particular brand is known to have lots of imitations…

Alright since the JBP thread was locked ostensibly for being redundant or something, let's just have a thread where we can discuss stuff. Alright I'll start.

Let's play a game where the objective is the poster tells a lie, and the others must figure out how or why what the poster is saying is a lie. I'll start: I decided to take a trip to Italy last summer, and booked a flight via Alitalia, and went to the International Airport, boarded my flight and sat down in seat 17F. The flight was uneventful, and I enjoyed my stay in the country. What part of what I said was a lie? (and no, not that I really didn't take a trip to Italy last summer). Italian WATMMers may immediately get this.

Hi everyone... I just found this forum by accident (I was looking for a clear definition of Filter Envolopes) and I ended up here! And having a little look around, it looks really cool! So I thought I would say hi and introduce myself. Only thing is, it's 7:32 - in the morning, and I have been up all night a/playing Civilization VI and b/ got stuck into my music (I use Reason 10) - and suddenly it's silly o' clock in the morning. Thankfully I work from 4pm to midnight so I can allow these daft bedtimes. But not too often though..... Anyway, the point is, if it's okay with you chaps, I will come back later and say a bit more about myself. I have just finish…
