  • tbf being an actor, especially in film, is fucking terrible at times.

    I shot a car commercial years ago. Getting up at 4am to get to set for 4.30 to stand in one spot say "¡Vamos!" in heavy makeup repeatedly for 15 hours 3 days in a row in the exposed elements becomes torturous.

  • I built an API connector for work (I'm a hobbyist, not a pro) to download what is the most common cargo transported by trucking companies from the DoT database. Everyone complained because they had to enter the company names correctly into a CSV as it wouldn't accept typos or do fuzzy matching, nor could it automatically determine which was the head office of a company, only return a list of all of the offices.

  • it's probably a biproduct of that phenomenon.

    I'll bet the ads are programmatic and have a complex testing matrix, they're rank tested against each other with other images and the ones that get the most attention win and make it to the next generation - the winners being those that inspire the most interactions probably trends towards those that most closely resemble nudity without being too much of a disappointment.

  • they're 8. I used to teach 9-10 year olds and it's not their fault, they aren't stupid but they are kids and sometimes the things they do aren't fully thought through or appropriate and they don't know better.

  • I did. Luckily there were points where it was shit enough to be able to leave without looking back.

    I beat The Black Heart, Atheon, Crota, Oryx, Siva, Xol, Ghaul, Calus, Riven, Nezerac, Savathun, and The Witness, plus AlakHul, Atraks, Sepiks, Taniks, the Forsaken Baron, a bunch of Vex Gatelords and Overminds... I rediscovered 3 Dark Subclasses plus a fourth Light one and then merged them, I became an Iron Lord, a Dregden and went to Osiris' Lighthouse in D1 and D2, healed the Traveller (twice), I witnessed my own funeral in the Corridors of Time, bringing back Saint 14, I saved and killed Rasputin and Prince/Crow, became Taken and beat Sword Logic, Vex Simulations, and Nightmares themselves: including the real world that's four entire realities I conquered and I communed with The Long Boi In The Soup. I saw the whole story through. Anything that happens now is of lesser concern, so I can leave.

    For me the big mistake started with the Dreaming City: when the world first raid changed the game for other players- I wasn't the main character any more and canonically all the raids and boss fights after that were done by other players, and mine (canonically even!) just fantasized about it pretending I was there. Even in the very last fight against the Witness, canonically, I was just one of hundreds of thousands in a faceless army that defeated it together.
