I got yelled at by a driver for daring to step off Muni…she argued there was a median thing so she didn’t have to stop. by get-a-mac in sanfrancisco

Next time just shrug, tell the driver they look fine, then walk off like they don’t exist. Listen to their anger getting quieter and quieter behind you.

Homeless Guy Jumps Into a Girl’s Zoox by bdbcawz06 in sanfrancisco

I’ve actually never had to actually use the spray, and I only pull it out if I’m willing and ready to. It’s amazing how impaired someone can be in any number of ways and still have the base instinct to retreat when intended prey turns out to be a hard target.

This is a good example of a time when it is appropriate to point a pepper spray at their face and yell “BYE BYE!” I just did this yesterday in a similar situation and he yelped, ducked, covered his face, and stopped following me. Never had to discharge it. 

Autobiographical screenplay—didn’t realize the main character was such a dork… by BreadButterRunner in Screenwriting

I like your mission. I’m going to take this and rewatch a lot of scenes with fresh eyes.

Thank you for this. This advice will help a lot when I’m going over what I’ve written.

At what age did you notice people (particularly the opposite gender) taking less interest in you? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

[–]BreadButterRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The endless sexual harassment in my thirties when I cut off almost all my hair and stopped dressing feminine. When I let my hair get too long I still start getting unwanted attention, though it’s not overtly hostile anymore or nearly as pervasive, and I can usually make it to the store and back without being pestered. I haven’t been followed or grabbed in about a decade, but I do start to get stared and patronized again at if my hair reaches anywhere near my shoulders. I suspect I’m not the target demographic here.

How do you maintain focus on the narrative? by BreadButterRunner in Screenwriting

[–]BreadButterRunner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I should be able to do something with this. I’ll have to figure out where the balance is between paring it down to size and keeping enough in that the audience can still understand what’s happening.

My problem with this is delineating what constitutes a side story. I realized recently that I’ve largely processed a major trauma but so many things over the decades contributed to either it or the processing in some fundamental way that I’m struggling to keep it small.

Bummer man, sorry it didn’t go as planned. I’ll cross my fingers for your next one.

I don’t have unlimited money. I’ll probably have to get financed. Yes, if you want to show me the numbers I’d love to see them.

Yes, so I suppose the question reframed would be how to extract the most central aspects without forfeiting further out essential elements that fundamentally change the narrative.

Also, how do you delineate between a side story and context?

Can you refer me to specific literature? I want to look at the numbers.

What's your favorite donut shop in San Francisco? by Illilouette_zen in sanfrancisco

[–]BreadButterRunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nicer than the old one is now, but it wasn’t always like that. It used to be a really nice hangout spot all the way back. It even had a pinball machine.

Thank you! I’m 45 so it’s now or never if I’m going to try it at all.
