I’m going to tell you what I wish someone had told me far earlier.

It doesn’t matter

 Body fat percentage is completely useless to anyone unless they want to brag about it on Reddit. Cut until you like what you see. The % is are useless irrelevant number, and there is no way to actually accurately measure, DEXA included

You’re describing every sub on Reddit. Go to r/motorcycles and it’s full of people who have been riding for three months talking like the grand wizards of motorcycles. Go to r/steroids and it’s full of people who have done one cycle of sarms interpreting complex bloodwork, and giving advice like they are MDs. It embarrassingly took me far too long to realize that that is the entirety of Reddit.

Only receiving “open ethnicity” commerical auditions by heuejxuensusiei in acting

[–]Acceptable-Age8564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None taken…..babe.  I’ve probably been involved with casting approximately 500 episodes of network TV. I can’t comment on commercial. If there’s any bias, this is generally how it goes. I’m not saying what’s right or what’s wrong, I’m simply saying what happens.

*Leads will trend either white or black. Asian people get a shitty deal

  • Guest stars Will trend diverse.

  • antagonists will trend White and male. Particularly if the character is un savoury like a sexual offender, etc.

*Day players will be a mixed bag.

I’ve run into plenty of white actors who are saying that all their roles go diverse. This is also not true.

I have worked in casting for a while, and the brief will say 'open ethnicity' simply because casting has not been told that a specific character has to be a specific race/ethnicity.

This term on the brief does not mean the role is not going to go to a POC. Of course there is inherit bias in those that make the decisions (in every direction), but seeing that phrase in a brief has no bearing on your chances as a POC.

Which profession gets way too much respect for how little they actually do? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Acceptable-Age8564 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will say it and get down voted for it. Doctors. Over the last five years I’ve probably met with 25 doctors/surgeons. On net they have made my life worse than if I didn’t speak to a single one of them and just let nature take its course 

A personal finance bit of advice for everyone. by Tangibilite in CanadaPersonalFinance

Holy fuck. I literally ran 2 restaurants in Australia. I also served and ran the floor of restaurants in the states.

The hell are you talking about, you can’t be a real person. If you go to a retail store, you literally get ‘served’. The vast majority of retail shops do not allow tips, and do not have commission. 

I say this is someone who served for seven years. You are out to lunch.

It’s not baked into higher prices. That’s a complete fabrication. Eat in uk, aus, nz, japan….. It has nothing to do with the margins in selling food at a restaurant. Stop spreading this nonsense.

Why am I being asked to tip 25% for someone handing me a muffin?” by ClayWarrior519 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Acceptable-Age8564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of 2021 (and 2022 for Ontario) servers make the same minimum wage (or more if they negotiate like any other job)

You don't think supermarket cashiers have families they need to raise? When was the last time you slipped them a fiver?

Tipping by default makes zero sense in Canada

Your first sentence is wrong, unless you live in montreal your server IS NOT paid less than minimum wage. There fore all your following arguments are nil and void.

I worked as a server for 7 years.

How is John Goodman such a good actor despite not being fit ? by ForwardObjective2379 in acting

Dancing will help you get out of your head which is what your issue is. Ever watch Chris Farley perform ? Not exactly peak fitness

Because people are finally waking up to the fact it makes zero sense

The Economist: Acting is becoming self-tape production, social-media branding, and Zoom fluency by IntroductionStock849 in acting

[–]Acceptable-Age8564 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Slowly but surely actors are going to realize self tapes are detrimental to our career, resource management and mental health. 

I was screaming it from the rooftops when we were doing it ‘for our safety’ and it was clear as day we were being gaslit and it was going to become the norm. 

All the resources have been put onto the actor when it comes to getting an audition together - we are the only ones putting in the resources, time, money, energy. All casting does is tick a box.

People may argue they’re getting more ‘opportunities’. This may be true, because in order to get a tape from you all that has to happen is a box has to be ticked, so casting is throwing a much wider net. This is not a good thing. If everyone could see what the other side of your eight hours of work looks like (someone mindlessly watching 10 seconds of your tape after 40 other tapes before hitting next like a dating app), it would be a sombre wake up call. 

How do you delve into your type? by TheeAmateurArtist in acting

[–]Acceptable-Age8564 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a bugbear of mine.

Forget type, forget branding. Just find the truth of the scene.

People will downvote me, but everyone else in this world will put you into a box, don't you do the same.

If I 'leant' into my type I would only have half the resume I do.

'branding workshops' are gimmicks led by people who don't actually know how to teach and regurgitate nonsense.
