I have worked for several “hates white space” clients. Nothing worse than showing someone a design and hearing “oh good, it looks like you also have room for...”

“Burn” is slang for “you just got insulted and it was very well done!” but you might be thinking of “fire” which is slang for “this is very new and amazing”.

I have never used yeet, sus, or any of the weirder ones in a sentence out loud, but I’ve either heard all of these or could figure them out from context. I still use maybe 90% of these out loud, but I’m in my 30's and hang out with a fair number of 20 year olds who also hang out with a lot of teenagers, so the…

That really depends on style, though. If they animated the human-leg-Sonic with human walking, it might all need to be redone, even if the model’s rigging stays intact in the redesign. The work is all in the musculature of the figure, and the facial expressions.
I doubt they’d even consider this path if a better model…

Or worse, the supervisors and clients who feel like they have to suggest at least one change to any design just to have input, so even it it’s perfect, they want to change something just to put their fingerprint on it somehow. Bonus when you submit the exact same thing (maybe a different size or a different…

Also a graphic designer, I also keep everything for this exact reason. As soon as you trash it, you will suddenly need it, even if it’s just “remember that logo we hated 9 months ago? turns out we’d love those colors/that font/the entire thing for THIS project now.”

More likely conspiracy theory: The artists made a better version of Sonic’s model initially and some executives group-thinked it into the version we see now, but the artists kept the original model and told the execs they could change it back. It’ll still be work, but I guarantee they wouldn’t be making the change if…

For 28K/month, you’d find a lot of people willing to do worse than that. I’m not saying these women were only in it for the money, but the draw of a comfortable lifestyle overrides a lot of personality flaws, personal beliefs, and other assorted ugliness.

Plus lack of education and experience are absolutely barriers that make it difficult for divorced parents to reenter the workforce! And those newly single parents may also have custody of kids they have to care for that prevent them from working or incur child care costs. The parent with custody absolutely needs a…

People often have to downsize post divorce. Sometimes, when the house is paid off, one person can stay there with minimal expenses. Sometimes both people have to move to afford living expenses.

A woman who has spent most of her life married to a man who doesn’t believe women should be given equal rights or in the workplace may not be perfectly capable of working.

She has the kid, so his income that previously supported 3 people now supports 1/3 himself and 2/3 his family, plus a little extra for the kid’s school expenses. I imagine if the kid moves out or if the mom gained any kind of income, he’d be in a position to renegotiate those amounts.

Presumably, he’s paying that amount because he kept assets like the house, while the wife has to pay for a second residence to raise the kid. That’s usually how it works. So he has 10K to pay his own expenses and for the house he owns, and 20K goes to the wife to pay for a mortgage and her and the kid’s expenses. I…

When I was 6 or so, I was at a toy store and there was something I wanted and my parents said they couldn’t afford it. So I told them to just “put it on the plastic!” I thought credit cards were like an allowance - free money you didn’t have to earn! They STILL haven’t let me forget it. But they did teach me about how…

Ours is called “Cinderoomba” and my husband loves it far too much.

Yup, graphic and web designer here. Same deal. The worst part for me is working in advance - doing Thanksgiving work at Halloween and all the Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving really kills the holiday mood for me.

My standard Mother’s Day gift since I was old enough to understand the concept has been *doing* something for Moms. When I was a kid, I gave those cutesy coupons but Moms I’ve known all seem to most appreciate it when you cook or clean or kid-wrangle or otherwise afford them some time to themselves.

It’s almost as if they don’t want to call for help once they’ve been threatened, tortured, imprisoned and brainwashed. Weird, that.

I have called the cops before and would again for welfare checks for friends and family I couldn’t otherwise get to. However, none of those times have been a case of a person of color or one who was armed.

Here’s the only statistics I could find that cited some sources.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, 88 percent of abortions occur within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, with only 1.5 percent occurring after 21 weeks’ gestation. In the United States, 67 percent of abortion service providers perform abortions after…
