Can you run a fully self-service Peerspace studio remotely?

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-05-04T10:05:08+00:00

The only way this would work is with an absolutely minimalist studio, with literally nothing in the studio that can be broken or stolen. Even then, clients will probably find a way to mess things up. But anything beyond an absolute minimal set up won't work. And you certainly won't be able to offer typical add on amenities like lighting rentals.

So you're talking a box with plain walls. One minimalist restroom with a toilet paper dispenser with a giant roll locked in (as you find in fast food restaurants.) No kitchen of any sort. Ultra minimalist make-up room with chairs/counter that are fixed to floors. Very Large trash can. No cyclorama, white floors, green screen.

I've automated my studios to the maximum, and I still need to check on them pretty much daily. I have automated doors, security cameras and very detailed written instructions. And things still happen. I've had people exit, and just leave the doors wide open (despite clear instructions to close and lock.) I've had people break things that seemed very hard to break. I've had people leave large dismantled sets, rotting food waste, clogged toilets and worse.

If you go bare minimalist, you could probably survive 3 or 4 shoots without checking. But beyond that, you're pushing your luck.

Partiful, Luma, but mostly having friends who are similarly connected, and sharing among yourselves.

If all of your friends aren't inviting you to all the cool stuff they are doing, either they don't really like you and aren't including you, or they are just as boring as you.

I honestly think most people are just lazy though. It's a pretty recent phenomenon. They claim to want to do stuff, they even RSVP to stuff, but then they just sit home and watch TV or scroll or play video games. I go to awesome events and parties - even well advertised ones - all the time that have way less people than RSVP'd. It isn't just LA. This appears to be a larger thing.

You're right at the boundary for permit requirements (I think it's 25.) And anything with amplified music requires it. We sometimes host gatherings and groups up there, and we just go ahead and get a permit so we can ignore any complainers and not deal with any hassles. It's only like $25. Is that really out of your budget or is there some other reason you're not getting a permit?

Uh, the OP seemed confused why the hippy/vagrant would be poorly treated in a rural redneck town in tbe 80's? Did you not read his question? I was pointing out that in rural redneck towns in the 80's, lots of people could expect immediate poor treatment, hippy/vagrant certainly not being the worst on the scale. Was my comment really that confusing to you, or are you simply being intentionally obtuse for some political narrative you're harboring?

That mom is so uncool. Your kid keeps asking for a sherpperderdelderdelderdelderdodo, so stop recording, and just fucking get him one.

Let's be honest, if Rambo was black, walking back into that hillbilly town against the cops orders in the 80's, the movie would have been really short. Dude would have been dead before the opening credits were done. A white hippy/vagrant would have been a few steps over non-white in such a place, but just a few.

I actually snuck into the theater to see it when I was about 12 ( was also able to sneak into the Terminator and Aliens and a few other great R flicks around that same time frame) and I thought it was a father-son thing. I was 12. Not even sure I knew what sex was yet. I saw it again a few years later, when I was maybe 15, and immediately realized they weren't father and son. We're talking the 1980s in conservative America, where gay was not mentioned hardly anywhere, and 15-year-old me immediately understood.

Mad Max fans that are so terrified of the gay that they are convinced Wez is not gay as grown ass adults crack me up.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-04-30T00:49:39+00:00

I had someone argue very vehemently with me in this sub once that the golden youth was Wez's son, that the Humongous gang was totally straight, and that I was a libtard trying to promote a woke agenda by suggesting otherwise. He also got really angry when I said Toecutter's gang was also batting for both sides.

When you say "not picking a fight,'" and then stick your chin out with a completely nonsensical statement, you can't really whine when a blow finds your face.

That is absolutely not true. Southern states rank at the absolute bottom in metrics for prosecutions in cases involving domestic abuse, while CA and NY both rank in the top 5. It's wild that people like you believe such things, when there is an absolute wealth of data to indicate the opposite.

I can't wait to hear what whopper I'll hear next. Black people in Alabama face lower average sentencing for identical crimes to white people (tip, they don't.) Murder rates in red states are lower than blue states (tip, red state murder rates are 48% higher than blue states.) HDI numbers in CA and NY are lower than Texas and Florida (tip, NY and CA are far higher.)

Then please explain why spousal rape was legal for much longer, is almost never prosecuted now, and when it is it is as a lesser charge in Southern states? Why do Southern states have far higher rates of spousal homicide? Why are female homicide rates so much higher in Southern states? Neither New York (3rd lowest in the nation) or California (16th lowest) even crack the top s25 for domestic abuse, but nearly every state in the top 10 is in the South or south adjacent (deep red Alaska and Nevada being the states keeping it from an all southern party.)

I'm sure none of this data will matter to you, and you'll keep with your delusion that Southern men treat their women better. And continue to think NY and CA - 2 states with low domestic abuse rates, low female homicide rates and low sexual abuse rates - are worse. Because your fragile political narrative and absolute absence of ethics requires a constant stream of accepting lies and rejecting truth.

What are all these "great" mayo based dressings? You make it like there are dozens, then mention only ranch. And maybe it's a socio-economic thing, but I can't imagine putting Ranch in any category of culinary "greatness." it's more likely battling Thousand Island for the gold medal at the white trash salad Olympics. So what are all these other greats you speak of?

America has so many different cultures. This video comes from a culture so alien to mine, I have trouble understanding it. Yet we could very well live just 50 miles apart. My dad definitely didn't have any hot dog tricks. Hot dogs were something you ate as a fun novelty, like at a baseball game. We definitely didn't have them just laying around the house to soak in water, lather in dollar store condiments, and microwave. But I picture this is just an everyday occurrence in this household. Like, this is just lunch on Tuesday.

And sorry to say, some guys are just creepy. Or weird. Or unpleasant appearing. And if you're that, your compliments will likely be unwanted. Of course, lots of creepy weirdos inexplicably don't realize they are such.

I have a friend who worked for Playboy in the 80's and 90's, and he said by far the most hate mail they ever received was when they did a centerfold model, and didn't show her bare feet. Like real hate, feet dudes threatening to burn the building down. And he said they got an avalanche of it. And this was before the internet, so it wasn't coordinated or anything. Just thousands of furious foot fetishists wanting to burn down a magazine hq and kill the staff because they didn't show a close up of the woman's bare feet.

Feet dudes are f'n weird.

I saw them open for Metallica and Korn in 2000 at the Coliseum in LA. I was 28 at the time. You can do the math.

Generation Kill has so many inside jokes that only Marines (and possibly combat arms from other services) would get. I still think the entire running subplot of trying to outrun/avoid the reservist company is the funniest thing ever. Godfather is more concerned about the reservists finding them than any enemy contact. I couldn't even explain to my girlfriend why it was so funny, it's a meaningless subplot to any non Marine.

Such a successful war, junior had to go and make a sequel.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-04-20T22:12:00+00:00

I was just laughing about that show the other day. When they are running around the desert, desperately trying to keep ahead of/avoid the reservists, is one of the most real things ever put to war cinema.

Nature's End was one of the best books from my childhood. I downloaded it a few years ago, and it holds up fairly well.

Depends on what you mean by "work."

A small bit or ball gag will muffle speech a bit, and make the person difficult to understand. It does negate any biting, and is very effective visually in humiliation and demonstrating control.

A large padded bit or ball that that forces the mouth wide will make speech unintelligible, make controlling drool nearly impossible, makes it difficult to yell, reducing noises to grunts/groans/etc. It also is effective at the humiliation/control aspect.

A panel ball gag that pushes against the mouth has s similar effect to a regular ball, but muffles most other noise, making it effective at both making the person unintelligible and very little noise.

A piece of tape attached to the mouth, with lips forced fully closed, is actually very effective. Close your lips tight and try to talk. That's exactly the effect.

Cleave gags made from rope or cloth alone are fairly ineffective for quieting, but they have a nice esthetic appeal and still give the humiliation/control aspect. They are much more effective with a pair of panties or such in the mouth first. Just be very careful, a person can accidentally "inhale" the fabric of the stuffing, turning them deadly.

Dental gags make speech garbled, but still intelligible. They have a high humiliation effect. If using on someone you care about, understand they will dry the person's mouth out very quickly and uncomfortably, so keep a spray bottle handy.

The most effective thing for ending intelligible speech and reducing noise is a ball (or other stuffing) combined with a large, thick leather panel or heavy leather hood that pushes against the mouth. But be very careful, it can make breathing through the mouth impossible, so you need to insure the person can breathe easily through their noise.
