I thought the whole "protip" meme died a quiet death. It must be related to Jesus.

FTFA: Trains on the Craigieburn line were stopped in both directions as fire rescue and ambulance crews worked to rescue the injured boy.

Do you think it's just coincidence that I was just looking at Amtrak's train schedule before clicking over here to Fark? I think it's probably an omen.

I'm going to go to the hardware store on my lunch break and buy a few cans of spray paint so that I can get started on my new life.

Hallelujah!

What is the meme derived from? Professional tip? I really don't get "protip"

The origin was in Doom's game manual.

That's a fake. It was originally purported to be from an issue of GamePro (and has been widely assumed by many people that it is), but the guy that created it has done some others, and they're all equally fake.

Indeed! I am disappoint. Sorry to have given out incorrect information.

I do think that it came from GamePro's incredibly lame protips, though. If anyone has an old mag, you'll find some good ones.

Protip for the train driver.. next time don't slow down.

You insult descent society calling them "artists"


NYC just passed a bill. Store owners from 2011 to 2026 will be required to phase in new storefront protection. You will no longer be able to have solid metal gates. They mist be at least 70% open (grille pattern).

This is to deter graffiti crime.

I used to commute by train tracks in Chicago. Every day I'd see intricate graffiti, and like the artwork involved. However, nothing compared to the simple elegance of the guy who scrawled, "Titties and Beer" on one car for a succinct outline of the scope of human need.

Sorry, no. I didn't go around commuting crimes when i was barely a teenager.


I also don't know why a lot of people don't consider it a serious crime.

Loitering, trespassing (like hanging out in a parking lot at 2AM), etc. These are victimless crimes that i can see using some leeway in when it comes to enforcement. But graffiti often causes *significant* damage to both public/private property, and indirectly to things like property values, perception of public safety, etc.


Its not just bored kids looking for something to do. Its an intentional, destructive act against the community.

Good, stupidity hurts. Kids should learn that at an early age.

"A second person is being spoken to by police. It appears they might have been graffiti artists,''

...sounds like they were, in training.
