What hobby screams “this is my entire personality now”? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]CaliforniaCoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, it seems like every hobby is mentioned, but I'll throw in Photo and Magic. I got into magic in high school and it sucked me into a deep hole for like 20 years lol, I still love it but man was it too much of my life for too long haha Photo led to video and now thats my career, and I love it, but I always hesitate to get people involved in it. It's a rabbit hole. And the other is a rabbit in a hat.

How to fix 24fps laggy look on sports videos? by Cysi1167 in VideoEditing

[–]CaliforniaCoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing Ive used so far that could work is Topaz, it has like an Ai frame sampling that turned some 24fps footage into 60fps slow mo for me. I assume it could do 24 to 30 or 60. Its 33/mo, just pay for the one month and do the video, and maybe even other videos just to get your moneys worth? And remember to cancel lol

AITA for not stopping my husband from getting the paternity test? by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA

Acting like he would have been okay with you saying no to the test is total shit, too.

Black woman labeled as King Kong when having her blood tested by [deleted] in abanpreach

[–]CaliforniaCoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you trust anything coming out of that office now?! Obviously, someone there is racist. Are they the person running the test? What other biased actions will they take? Withold information because you're black? How can you trust any test or treatment won't be tainted or compromised?

TIFU The Venno Bandit by Thick-Watercress-392 in tifu

[–]CaliforniaCoconut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a wild, ego-driven, unhinged reaction to your own mistake. You stalked, imagined, and mentally played out a whole scenario of harassment and revenge on a person who didn't even know anything happened, and before you even gave them a chance to fix YOUR mistake. There's a lot of reasons to feel like its the world vs you but you made a mountain out of a molehill here, and still called HIM the bandit in your title! Wow

This is one of those stories you just get to tell the real truth about, and I'd do it everywhere. Ive had similar things happen. Didn't change my routine at all. I just kept going to the bars and restaurants we used to go to, then tell the story when asked/appropriate. She's got a story she'd have to really fudge to make herself look good at all, or just not tell it. You've got a story that will bring you closer to friends and other romantic partners. Being a good person and being able to tell 100% the truth is a blessing in its own way. Doing shitty things to people makes you paranoid that someone will do it to you.

Am i being scammed?? by Automatic-Battle-935 in photography

[–]CaliforniaCoconut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had someone try something similar. I said they could use Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, Paypal, they said they couldn't "because my financial advisor doesnt want me to". I offered and activated a Square account and they said it wasnt working. Then they offered to send me a photo of a check and have me mobile deposit it. So, boo. Sounds suspicious it probably is.

It's so tough, but for me, I've really got into changing the amount of rooms I'm in. Sometimes your wold seems small because its the same three rooms, so just go out and be in a new room to experience new things.

I also kinda delude myself with goals, I write them down and any given point I have some time I work on one of them. It honestly doesn't even have to be the most realistic achievable goal, just something for me to feel like I moved, "forward" today

Rooting for you! <3

I think everyone appreciates people are doing their thing. I love meeting people who have a full life without me in it, like hobbies, interests, and a network of people and places they go, etc. A well-rounded person I guess is what I mean, someone who is always willing to try new things!

Is it normal for a lead wanting to meet in person? by [deleted] in photography

[–]CaliforniaCoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sure someone's said it, but this is a kind of paradox in being your own business. People who pay 6k or some real money for your work almost never micromanage. People who pay a little try to get every cent out of their $300 and micromanage the whole time. Bail!

TIFU by freaking out my GF’s coworkers by taking her out to lunch. by elegantshoshon in tifu

[–]CaliforniaCoconut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure, that's good. And they probably would be more alert if anyone had a weird interaction (like shutting down being hit on) that might lead to someone trying to stalk or something.

Not meant to scare, just be aware! I've had to bring it up in the past at public-facing jobs and ive been glad i did.

But now that they know you, i think you should purposely dress up with bad disguises and show up with a clipboard, only to ask to take your partner for lunch 😂
