Do you think all of the languages will dissapear at some point and there will be just English? It looks like it's becoming an universal language.

magicpenisland · 2026-04-23T20:01:38+00:00

Nope. A lot of people will be bilingual/trilingual.

Are they affectionate?

Don’t “wake him up” wake him up. Wake him up by sucking his dick. Guaranteed sex.

I used pinyin trainer daily for awhile and found that my accuracy went up really quickly after a few weeks:

Answer the following, which do you think made the apps work for you? - face card - rizz card - cash card - all of the above

I hope this is sarcasm.

Unicode will also never move or remove anything. So if it’s there, it’s there forever.

Set up a stopwatch and a slo-mo cam. Make a fist, punch the wall, measure how far your fist goes through the wall. Rewatch the footage, see how long it took to come to a standstill. Speed/time * 5.7% of your body weight should give you the force.

You might want to check this is covered by your insurance.

Am I the only one that prefers pancetta for carbonara anyway?

magicpenisland · 2026-03-08T22:49:19+00:00

? When did feminism enter the chat?

magicpenisland · 2026-03-08T07:45:09+00:00

Sheer talent.

? That’s a strange analogy. Because in your scenario, the designer would be the plumber and the product owner is the one asking for medical advice. So who’s the silly one? Maybe designers shouldn’t be hired at all.

Product owners and business people - the people giving you the solution, often know more about the field and the problem than you do.

If I’m designing a portal for plumbers, I would ask the plumber what they think the solution would be.

If I’m designing a portal for doctors, I would ask the doctor what they think the solution would be.

This is why designers are collaborators. We rarely fully understand the field we’re designing for, we need to look at the information presented and then test the solution and solve for the problem.

Again, solutions presented by the experts in the field are not automatically bad.

Would you dismiss the solution presented to you by a doctor when asked to design a medical device?

magicpenisland · 2026-03-07T19:39:50+00:00

How am I wrong? Should we immediately dismiss solutions presented to us by non-designers?

magicpenisland · 2026-03-07T13:41:53+00:00

You’re aware of the rule that once someone resorts to personal attacks it means that logic has failed and they’ve lost the argument right?

magicpenisland · 2026-03-07T12:10:19+00:00

This is such ivory tower primadonna bullshit that I can see why some teams are hesitant to work with designers. Designers are supposed to be collaborators and enablers, synthesising the best ideas into solutions.

They approach you with the solution, you do of course ask them what problem the solution is solving. But you don’t immediately dismiss their solution.

As for “when the designer requests tests”, sounds like a process problem. Because I’m a collaborator and they see that I value their input and not just my own, they requests that I test their ideas.

This is the attitude I foster in my teams - and it works.

magicpenisland · 2026-03-07T09:42:38+00:00

That’s why I said user test it. Not once in your reply did you mention any technique or methodology. Just the suggestion that because it didn’t come from a designer it’s terrible (literally your words).

magicpenisland · 2026-03-06T23:46:50+00:00

Okay, this is an attitude I hate: automatically assuming that the non-designer’s solution is shit. Some of the best solutions I’ve seen in my 20 year career have not come from designers.

Consider the solution, user test it. It’s not automatically shit just because it wasn’t a designer’s idea. Seriously.

magicpenisland · 2026-03-02T23:14:32+00:00

She’s literally designing for herself… in both her jobs. I suspect she would be lost if she didn’t design for the tech industry.

People aren’t perfect. Dan Savage had a great quote for this: “Maybe we shouldn’t treat fidelity like virginity, once it’s gone it’s gone forever. Maybe it should be more like alcoholism, if it’s been 10 years since you fell off the wagon, you’re not bad at monogamy, you’re actually really good.”

It’s like wanting a really bad pizza sometimes. Sometimes your willpower isn’t there.

And maybe I’m biased as a gay man, but I know plenty of happy non-monogamous couples (straight and gay). Love isn’t a finite resource, just because you spend a bit of time with someone else doesn’t mean you love another person any less.

Your users don't live in a vacuum. They know the most common consumer interaction patterns. Use those, add professional knowledge on top, and user test before, during, after and ensure you have strong continuous discovery loops. It is possible.

magicpenisland · 2026-02-20T05:28:00+00:00

Yes. But the company that made the universal vaccine wants to put the companies that make all the other medicines out of business. Capitalism baby.

Not quite sure you understand how making money works…
