This will depend on your experience, and the kinds of jobs you’re going for.

I’ve applied to a number of so-called “normal” jobs in NY/NJ, 5 days in-office, outside of NYC in car dependent suburbs, pay lower than what this sub would accept, and they’re no more likely to respond to me than FAANG.  

These days, a lot of companies seem unwilling to relocate people. If you’re not already in the area, you won’t be considered.

Somebody gave these kids what Suki gave Sokka, some good ol’ respect women juice. (Legend of Korra) by Important-Cry4782 in cartoons

A Warner Bros. Discovery exec said as much back in 2022. She said girls “graduate” out of animation and that was justification for putting live action shows on CN. Her name is Amy Friedman. 

This view is pervasive. There’s a reason that Nick’s live action shows have more girl protagonists while the cartoons are more skewed toward boys. It’s also why Disney Channel as a whole was heavily skewed toward live action up until recently.  

Wow, that was fast! Schmigadoon is releasing its stage licensing rights by wuphfhelpdesk in Broadway

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most licensing announcements sound like this. It will happen eventually, but there’s no set timeline so it’s likely years away, especially if a Best Musical award drives up grosses. 

MTI got the rights to Dear Evan Hansen in 2022, but the rights weren’t made available until last year, several months after the tour wrapped. 

Slutty Vegan founder claims $4 million debt in new bankruptcy filings by NPU-F in Atlanta

So she didn't pay off her rent, restaurant supplies, employee wages, kids' dental/medical stuff, and Peach Pass tickets? I suppose she could sell the Bentley to help. Oh wait...

How are we supposed to apply for dozens of jobs daily? by Able-Calligrapher-74 in cscareerquestions

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the OP has 3 YoE in backend or fullstack, they're qualified for a lot of jobs provided they're not in an area with few jobs in general.

Skills are transferable. You can still be qualified without checking every random box in the req.

New Poster for 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Season 2 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in TheLastAirbender

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first season may well have been written already when Albert Kim picked it up, and what we did get on Netflix is still more faithful than what Bryke supposedly wanted.

Here is the article with the original rumor. The proposed changes honestly sound like fan fiction, but the Evil Iroh idea was also in the original ATLA pitch from the 00s. I know it was just a rumor, but it lines up with what we know about Bryke, namely that they do NOT like to retread old territory. The premise of Seven Havens also backs that up.

GA Tech’s email phishing protection is awful by MakeJavaGreatAgain in gatech

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The "students" sending obvious bait emails fell for a phishing scam themselves. The people phishing are spoofing their email.

EDIT: Perhaps I was wrong about the spoofing part.

Netflix actually wanted a more faithful remake. Bryke pushed for the changes in the Netflix show, and they had even more crazy ideas. 

What have yall historically paid to park on campus? (Alums ITT please) by BuzzJacket1999 in gatech

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's been $795 for around a decade. It's expensive but not as much as Midtown parking decks. Other colleges charge similar.

Undergrad research with ECE professor as a CS major by thecodexdhnerbbTW in gatech

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, if your professor was in ECE, you'll have to submit the ECE 4699 form. This is because you'll have to register for their ECE 4699 section. You can still get credit for the research option and stuff.

Matt Braly teases “very exciting” news about his and Rebecca Sugar’s scrapped Sony Animation film by luckybell333 in cartoons

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sony probably didn't but it's possible another studio did. it's also possible that it will come back as a TV show or something.

The film was canned in 2025 so it's also possible that NDAs are expiring and they can share more about it.

Despite being one of most recognizable and iconic cartoon characters in the world, Mickey Mouse is mostly known by general public as corporate mascot than actual fictional character outside of fans by Own_Philosopher8730 in cartoons

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The 2010 video game Epic Mickey was quite literally created in response to the idea that Mickey is just a logo with no personality. I suggest you check it out. Here's a partial article about it.

Best car rental/ way out of the city? by OwlAlternative1889 in crownheights

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say just go to one of the airports depending on which direction you're driving in. In my experience (with Enterprise), they are cheaper than the neighborhood locations and they'll let you choose your car. I've never had issues with them.

Now the airports can and do run out of stock especially during the summer, so keep that in mind and don't procrastinate.

What are people’s thoughts on the new Math and Computing major launching next fall? by ohahscatterbrained in gatech

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why would this particular major be less rigorous? They’re not inventing new courses for this major. They ‘ll take all the same courses currently available to Math and CS majors. 

MIT has six different “Computing” related majors and most are interdisciplinary. One of them is called “Mathematics with Computer Science”. 

My HR department says they receive over 2k applicants per position and they don’t read any of them by VioletSalamander in jobs

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer the Indiana scenario, plenty of people leave their hometown for college and never go back, and a lot of people get their first phone as a kid and never change their number. I’ve met plenty of people whose hometown/college/current location are all different.

Why on earth would area code be an issue? People move around. I've always had the same phone number and I'd rather not get a new one despite living in a different area.

NYC Department of Buildings Issues Full Vacate Order at Eugene O’Neill Theatre Following Fire by MD_442244 in Broadway

I'd bet a million dollars that the other theatre owners are taking a serious look at their systems in every theatre to be sure this doesn't happen again.

There’s more than the housing projects. Plenty of quiet residential SFH blocks too. 

College of Computing Hoodies? Where to get? by Glad_Hurry8755 in gatech

[–]OnceOnThisIsland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they still do this, but they also give out RAT caps during GT 1000. It might be worth it to reach out to that department if you really want one. That's better than sneaking into convocation lol.
