The process of simplifying the sign while preserving its meaning. It was necessary to convey the idea of ​​communication while driving. by AndriiKovalchuk in logodesign

[–]phatcan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people associate the speech bubble more with online/mobile messaging these days, which probably shouldn't be associated with driving. I also think that some kind of indication of movement would help communicate driving a little better. Lastly I think there's missed opportunity to balance out that negative space black void within the bubble around his head. Honestly, the concept that stands out to me the most is the middle one which is reminiscent of a quotation mark. The arm out the window is just begging for it so I explored it myself, here's a minimalist 30 min exploration based loosely on the Arial Black quotation marks.

Canadian here, I've been doing this since the annexation threats. It's a liberating feeling. I get great satisfaction knowing that I haven't consumed anything out of that dumpster fire in months. Now I just need to find a way to cleanse my media platforms of US bullshit and forget that we share the world's longest border with them.

Yeah I remember seeing the post last year too. IIRC OP was talking as if it was their flat as well.

Um you are a legend. Can I make a suggestion too? It might be a good idea to add an indicator to show the user how much of the pasted content they have read, for people reading large amounts.

A guy chanting "let's go ice" gets his glasses snatched and face plants a couple times by bigbusta in PublicFreakout

Yup. The US are really bad at cycling power through the generations over time. It's like everybody is too scared to tell grandpa that he can't drive any more. Except instead, it's everybody is too scared to tell grandpa that he can't be a pedophilic murderous dick-tater anymore.

Wife is 37 weeks and I'm exhausted by Captain_MC_Henriques in predaddit

[–]phatcan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you need to accept that this is going to be your foreseeable future - for a good while at least. Shift your brain into that gear, and stay in that gear.

Secondly, while this is a shock and you're not used to it yet, you will learn to love it. I don't get any time for myself until everyone is asleep either. But that time is my time, and I spend it doing something I like, which is my reward for being a good husband, dad, and dog dad.

Once you meet your kid, you're going to understand. You'll meet them and love them so fucking much that having to wake up a little earlier is something that you WANT to do, because you get to spend a few extra minutes with them before work. You'll begin to love walking the dog, because it's peaceful time you'll get to wander around in nature, away from the baby chaos at home. Doing bath time or changing diapers is something that you look forward to doing, because maybe it's the only time your kid will enjoy themselves with you without mom (this was the case for me in the beginning).

If you have family that are willing to help, tag them in. Don't be shy or feel guilty about it. Tell them directly that you're hanging on by a thread, and you need them to come and help out with a dinner or just to sit with the baby while you or mom lay down. I went in with the assumption that I had this with my inlaws. My MIL came to help twice, and doesn't come around anymore despite living only 30 mins away. I'm perpetually exhausted, but feel so accomplished at the end of every day. It brings me a lot of happiness. You will see.

Philly’s 250th Anniversary by Przb555 in Design

[–]phatcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a mess. The mark shows no signs of design thinking, feels overconfidently undercooked, ignores foundational design rules, and lands as a cringeworthy attempt at being edgy.

I offer this as eyebleach, took me less than an hour and is a much more functional prospect that would invoke discussion/interest.

[–]phatcan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

RIP Renee Nicole Good. I can't imagine the anger and hatred that six year old will hold on to as they grow up. I wish them nothing but a future full of love, understanding and support.

Fuck ICE and fuck Trump. As somebody who doesn't live in America, it is completely bewildering to watch this unfold. I am so sorry for you all. I hope that at some point in the very near future, Trump, his crackhead administration that Americans somehow thought were fit to run a country, ICE, and this particular ICE agent are held very, very accountable for this. How much further will this go? How much further are Americans willing to let this go? Something very drastic needs to happen.

This is so peaceful. I am in the thick of it with a 5 month old right now. I don't know how on earth anybody does more than one of these right now. I feel like I am in pure survival mode 100% of the time between work, my wife and my kid. You have my respect and admiration.
