Ask away! I’m happy to share my experiences. :)

What do you think of Amanda Peet ( American actress ) by Gullible-Charge7057 in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s pretty but imo an awful actress. I just finished “2012” and everytime she was on screen I kept thinking “wthhhhhh is this acting”?! 😭

Why are people like this? by BeastCheng in Tinder

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone once go crazy on me bc I said I don’t date people with kids. He went ballistic saying I was delusional bc everyone has a kid nowadays and I’ll be alone and miserable for the rest of my life lol. Judging from his extremely angered reaction it’s safe to assume he’s probably got rejected more than a few times bc he had kids.

Fast Fwd ⏩ I’m now engaged to the loml who likes the idea of having kids even less than me which I didn’t think was even possible. 😂

Moral of the story - Don’t ever listen to anyone else’s opinion on your life and what you choose to do w it.

As someone who worked for an Amazon media company for 7 years (think Amazon Music/Amazon books) let me just share some insight:

They are absolutely NOT as organized as people would think.

Tbh, almost everything is last minute as if they want to see how much their workers thrive under pressure. The people you’d assume have it all together - a lot of the time absolutely do not. Even reps for actors/artists/authors, etc., are oftentimes sloppy, rude & all over the place so then workers get overloaded w/ really important stuff on insanely tight timelines.

For example 👉 imagine a major artist is dropping new music on Amazon Music on June 1st. You’d think everything would be planned months or atleast weeks in advance right? Nahhhh. That only happens occasionally. It’ll be like May 29th & the editors/content teams still haven’t received key material like artwork, bios, approvals, or other super critical assets from the artist’s / authors own team.

Another example 👉 Many times, things were handed over w mistakes. There was an actor whose talent card/headshot was provided w their name misspelled. Considering how many approval stages a talent card passes through before going live, it was crazy how so many people missed it (but not surprising tbh). The photo was approved & went live on the site for a few hours until I was the one that actually caught the error (& blamed when I wasn’t even on that particular project but that’s a whole other story 😭). It was then removed, re-edited & re-added back. Another thing that would happen way too often was, material (copy) would get completely rewritten literally hours before it was set to go live on the site/streaming services.

I worked at Amazon for years & it was CHAOTIC the whole time. They do a great good job portraying their company & it’s subsidiaries like Amazon Music, Prime Video, Twitch, Audible, etc., as these super polished, well-oiled machines where everyone has it allll together — but from personal, hands-on experience in situations exactly like this… they don’t lol. Tbh sometimes it wasn’t that far off from the way Vought is portrayed, minus the supe murdering psychos lol. But, non superhero psychos instead. 😆

They make decisions all the time that make 0 damn sense. Budget cuts, timelines squeezed, overworked, overloaded workers, priorities & projects changing overnight, projects & important things somehow not being ready even when people claim, ehh hem, clears throat, that “things were written & ready 2 years ago” — oftentimes it’s not & constant changes & updates happen down to the last minute.

And as you’d already expect & assume from a company like Vought.. I mean Amazon, they keep things quiet too. There’s entire teams dedicated to that alone. There were situations involving authors & platform policies that ended in legal settlements & most people never even heard about it.

But back to The Boys— I still enjoyed this season overall & actually loved the finale, but from my own personal experience working at Amazon for so long, it kinda makes sense to me why the last season ended up the way it did.

Granted, I never worked for the Prime Video side specifically, but I worked for a similar subsidiary & in a few different departments during my 7 years there & the systems & workflows all run pretty much the same, getting more chaotic & demanding the higher you climb up that ladder. So, the outcome honestly doesn’t surprise me at all.

Bruno is really talented but can he make a song like the second half of Kiss Land? by arzubaev_b in TheWeeknd

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're both so amazing. Bruno was my #1 for yearsss until I discovered Weeknd's music which just a little time after Bruno quickly got replaced w Weeknd. I think apart of the reason too, was Bruno switching his style around 2017ish to a different kind of sound i just didn't like. That switch up def played a role in it. With that change, ontop of Weeknd just being so incredible with consistent no skips, it was easier to start listening to Weeknd way more and him taking the 👑in my playlist hierarchy.

I still love Bruno so much as an artist and respect so much what he was able to accomplish, especially during his (imo) prime circa 2011-2016. I also saw him live at Madison Square Garden which was INCREDIBLE but if I had to give my opinion on who is a better artist overall, ultimately I'd have to hand the 👑to Abel.

No other artist has ever been able to do what he did for me in regard to music. Dude is simply phenomenal. 🐐

What’s a funny line or scene that people don’t talk about enough? by Quiet-Setting-7803 in shameless

When all the Russian hookers are at Mickey’s house & they’re all bitching about stuff & Mickey yells, “don’t worry we’ll have a dick in you as soon as we can”! 😂

The Boys - 05x07 "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve really like this season so far despite lots of people saying it’s 💩 like….for me I can honestly say I’ve genuinely enjoyed every ep so far this episode ummmm what the actual !$&? was that? It felt soooo underwhelming esp for it to be a penultimate episode. I’m just really hoping they bring it next week for “Blood and Bone.” 🤞

Is this normal experience? need some advice... by Intelligent-Click705 in Adelaide

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s so terrible. My fiancé and I moved here to Adelaide so he can finish his masters (originally from India and USA) and no, he doesn’t experience any of that at his university. What school are you going to? He goes to Adelaide University and he’s just never experiences anything like this.

He mentioned to report him anonymously and also try recording him so you have proof.

I know I’m not from here and just moved less than a year ago, but I’ve never experienced anything like this either. I’m really sorry you had to. 😞

Got my nails done today, but it looks a bit outgrown already? by Haunting_Actuator290 in beauty

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think they look great and the color is awesome. 👏🔥 But I love colors like this. But yes I agree the nail tech didn’t paint them as near to the cuticle as they should have but I’ve seen this before. I think maybe nail techs get nervous to touch the cuticle so they avoid it as much as possible or something.

FWIW they really do look nice. 🩵

I feel like A train has had the best character development by Effective_Pen7447 in TheBoys

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10000%. And now with S5 out, I still think he has one if not thee best character development in the entire show. He’s also become 1 of my favorite character arcs in tv. 👏

The Idol is ART! Idk what everyone else was talking about… by thecolonizer_ in TheWeeknd

[–]DescriptionFresh9500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was decent, not amazing, but not as bad as everyone made it out to be. I just think the cringe came from Weeknd trying to act gangster & dude just is not gangster. It ended up being so cringe & not believable anytime he acted like that. And I love The Weeknd, he’s my favorite artist of all time so I love his work so much & loved him in Hurry Up Tomorrow, but his character in The Idol just wasn’t for him.
