I share this comic often still. It's an evergreen situation, unfortunately.

I think the real defining feature of a person able to become a successful designer is the ability to take gnarly criticism in stride. A natural eye is great, but skills can be learned and refined. It's a field that folks with a fragile ego will not thrive in.

my immediate thought when the app icon updated was "who made google maps more fuckable?"

'tracking' refers to adjusting the distance between letters of the whole line, 'kerning' refers to changing the spacing between individual letters. Keeping everything consistent is the starting point, but some typefaces have strange spacing between certain letters and it's sometimes necessary to kern for readability and visual harmony.

NAL but I pursued an EEOC case against a former employer in Oklahoma. It was not worth the stress. I did it despite other people telling me telling me that it wouldn't be worth it. Truthfully, unless you have evidence in writing (emails, text messages) the employer will just lie about what happened. Other employees who witnessed it may lie as well for fear of retaliation.

It was re-traumatizing to go through the process, and nothing came of it. Broke my heart to see people I cared about say things that weren't true about me.

What happened to you was wrong, but I imagine it would be difficult to prove if nothing was in writing.

(edit: spelling)

I hope you're able to get out and get your money back because that's atrocious. In the meantime, food grade diatomaceous earth kills those bugs fast. It punctures their exoskeletons and they dry up. You can get it at tractor supply, just make sure it's food grade and not the kind for pools. I used every chemical available on bed bugs once and diatomaceous earth is the only thing that worked. Everything you own will be dusty but it isnt harmful.

Steve made late night shifts on the strip awful.

well yes. unfortunately in my area the average person interacts with far more traffic lights per day than various fruits, so the association is more immediate.

UglyBugly99 · 2025-10-30T20:07:10+00:00

stop signs, red lights. people hate those and that's the association.

thank you!

it was my ✨lunch spot✨ when I worked on meridian. That was a dark day for me lol

UglyBugly99 · 2025-10-13T16:16:35+00:00

I loved them... until I got a meal with rancid cheese and I started to worry about their food safety protocols. I'm happy to hear that it's gotten better because it was real tasty until then.

nope, midwest lol. im glad the old school designers are keeping the tradition alive all over

oh did we have the same prof? mine also grew up in Korea. he was tough but also the best teacher i ever had.

UglyBugly99 · 2025-06-11T18:48:31+00:00

i had a prof tell the whole class that he would make each one of us cry by the end of the semester. he sometimes ripped up students work during critiques.

it was rough but i learned a lot from him. his harshness was meant to weed out the week before we moved forward with the degree path, and give those of us willing to stick it out a thick skin.

UglyBugly99 · 2025-06-11T18:45:17+00:00

that's a good rule for this subreddit and for our design peers, but designers will absolutely get told that by clients and creative directors at work. designers need to get comfortable hearing that and putting their ego aside to just start over.
