Sorry Im not a huge batman nerd like you Jake.

The great thing about a forum that you never get on social networks is that ultimate LOL moment when a thread goes absolutely out of control.

Threads where you literally can't breathe because of the hilarity of the shit slinging are few and far between, but man they are worth it.

JTD was the best one on here for a long time.

Weakling kraut!
Don't worry, I shall be here periodically to let Stu know that it's all his fault because he is truly rubbish, provoke Lira into uncharacteristic fits of rage, post cat pictures and gifs of people being maimed with power tools and trampolines.

Life is not what it was nearly 12 years ago, so it will not always be available on a daily basis.

Doesn't happen enough nowadays though because people are too busy 'liking' something on FB, or deleting their google+ accounts.

And yeah, Lilith has the idea. Let's all blame it on the weatherman Stu

"PANDAS ARE A BUNCH OF ****S. I’m done with pandas, and I’ll tell you why: every fucking living creature loves pandas. The panda doesn’t have a natural predator on the planet and they’re dying out because they’re fucking dicks!

Fuck’em! Let’em die out! The pandas don’t fuck each other, therefore they don’t have babies, therefore there are no fucking pandas! They’re dead weight, let’s lose the fucking pandas!

We’ve tried! We’ve fucking tried! We, the human race, put pandas in cages together and tried to help them fuck, but they, we go: “THERE’S A PANDA! GO FUCK THE PANDA!” and they just look at eachother!

YOU PUT ME IN A CAGE WITH ANYTHING. ANYTHING. AND AFTER A WEEK I’LL FUCK IT!

You think that pandas know they’re Chinese and they’re taking the one-child policy too serious?"

Operation get drunk and distract citric from crucial work while on stickam compelte. Good night TA!

this just popped into my head, oh god why

That's funny, this just popped into mine:

I love taking a 'day after' crap that still smells like whatever I drank the night before. Loololololol.

You drank shit last night?

I KNEW IT!

Wow, I always suspected bad business were extremely greedy, but I believe I have come across a potential contender for the title of "most dishonest desperate business strategy".

As some of you may know, I have a small office in a Japanese language school here in Brasília, where I get to practise the language everyday. I really love the people here, and I used to work here both as a teacher and as a(n amateur) graphic designer.

Every 5 years or so, the school self-publishes a book to celebrate the anniversary, and for whatever reason, they decided to switch to a new printing house this year and "go pro". Someone recommended to them a printer that already did some jobs for a Japanese governmental agency, and that's the one they picked.

I'm not sure if they're printers or grifters. Probably both.

Given the lack of professionals here, we just export all the content to a high-quality PDF and send it to the printing house. This printer, however, complained it was not possible to print from a pdf file, and wanted to charge us two thousand dollars for the conversion to InDesign format. The school just couldn't afford this, so I phoned my brother - a professional graphic designer - who offered to do the same job for 45 dollars, as it was really a simple task.

They've just contacted the school saying "the colour scheme isn't right because [my brother] used RGB instead of CMYK", and offered to fix this so-called problem for yet another 400 dollars (although my brother did use CMYK in the first place).

This has been going on for a whole week now, and I'm surprised by how many excuses they find to charge for completely unnecessary services. I wonder how much money they got from the governmental agency that recommended them.

Originally posted by Lira not possible to print from a pdf file

Full retard.

As long as the .pdf was exported correctly they shouldn't have any problems. Is it being run on a digital press? It's not 1990 the front end will convert RGB images to CMYK automatically, but will alter the colors a bit. Let me know if you have any questions or need some quick work done I got nothing going on today (I've been in printing for ~10 years)

Actually, I believe they're trying to scam us, and I've already told the principal the things they say make no sense. I will definitely contact you if I have any questions (thanks, by the way).

But it's come to a point where I don't know if they're really incompetent or just the most dishonest people I've ever seen in my life - but it's got to be one of these two options. As I was talking to the principal about how dodgy these people are, she also said they claimed that because we sent them a pdf file, it was not possible to print the pictures (huh?!) and the text was too bright (I'm pretty sure this can be fixed just recalibrating the printer, right?).

I warned the principal these people are most likely fooling us... but Japanese people are all about hierarchy and group work, so my opinion counts very little (as I'm just the computer-savvy smart-arse scholar who comes here for the free coffee) and the governmental agency that recommended these bastards are - in a way - above us.
