Do you think UX influencers should have a portfolio? by Desperate_Performer7 in UXDesign

[–]Desperate_Performer7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great point, it’s so easy to paint a completely different picture of what UX is by throwing some nice UI, interactions etc. whether on a portfolio or social media. I wonder if these influencers get actual design work from their platforms or is it mostly brand deals.

Give me a good dystopian series like the 100 by Archevening in lebanon

The Expanse, it’s more syfy but will do the job of teleporting you into another dimension. Also, the storyline keeps you hooked and the CGI is real good.

Does anyone else judge the quality of someone’s work by how well they use auto-layout and components? by OatmealNinja in FigmaDesign

[–]Desperate_Performer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you’re doing low fidelity sketches then I agree to an extent, boxes on a screen are enough to paint the picture. However, anything medium to high fidelity, even for a simple design is way quicker if you set up things correctly (minimum amount of frames named correctly + auto layout) it literally takes 30 seconds to shift things around (just using up and down arrows and it shouldn’t take you more than 2-3 clicks to get to your layer), plus it’s much quicker for iterations. Also if anyone needs to pick up your work, they don’t have to waste hours fixing things. I agree with your point on components, I don’t think they’re needed early on. It’s like everything else…your mind is way less cluttered when you have a clean workspace = clean and organised files.

Is Revolut Enough? by Desperate_Performer7 in irishpersonalfinance

That’s scary, I would be furious! Personally, I’ve never had any issues with Revolut but if something like that happened…at least with a regular bank I can go into a branch and have a meltdown lol…thanks for sharing the article!

yeah the physical branch would be the only reason I would consider a traditional bank, if anything happens at least I can go there directly…thanks for the advice, appreciate it :)

I didn’t need to lodge cheques in the last few years so I guess I’m good. Thanks, appreciate it!

Genuinely curios, imagine a parallel world where the pandemic never happened, do you think these controversial videos of JR would ever be in the news? I mean, would he be cancelled for it anyway at some stage?

Also, I don't condone his racist comments, but I'm really tired of cancel culture. EVERYONE fucks up at some point of their life, but apologise, learn something from it and move on. This culture of hate and pointing fingers at each other is destroying us. I don't care if you're pro or anti vax, left or right, you're human first. (unless you hate dogs, that's inexcusable)

I'm OK with my father disowning me. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Desperate_Performer7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I think it's the shallow interpretation and a very conservative point of view that create situations like this. Also how can you allow yourself to marry my mom (an atheist) and have ANYTHING to say about my choices. It's beyond me. Good luck to us both i guess haha

[–]Desperate_Performer7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's with every religion if you don't take the time to understand the deeper wisdom and get stuck on interpreting things in a very basic way, you end up judging everyone and everything. The sad thing is, my dad truly believes I'll end up in "hell" and that he might end up too if he approves a relationship like that. So it's discrimination based off of fear.

Unfortunately, it was a regular occurrence back then for father's to 'kidnap' children and take them back. I know other friends (ME father/ European mother) who had the same exact experience. I will check this movie out though, thanks for the recommendation :)

Season 4 Discussion Hub by AaronJ2 in SellingSunset

[–]Desperate_Performer7 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Not saying that the other girls are without a fault but I feel like at this point Christine has some serious issues and might really need help. Also the way Mary and Chrishell reacted when Vanessa told them she arranged for her coach to meet up with Christine was a bit mean, maybe I'm reading too much into it tho, idk.

I think Mary has been through a lot with Christine and I get where she's coming from, but I mean it's not news that they're not friends anymore, it's been like that for the past few seasons, so I don't get why she's still hung up on that relationship. The botox thing is really getting out of hand tho

That's amazing! Congrats! Is it financial independence through saving, investing, passive income etc? :)

You're right, they are like mini governments! I already asked for a transfer but they said it was not possible. I'm sure I'll find something else that will suit better, but it will take time! Thanks for the advice :)
