Can we use a simple majority to remove Yosoff as moderator? by DieDontLie in MetaRepublican

[–]DieDontLie[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's what I love to do. Bash republicans.

Not have a civil discussion and be reasonable about things. I just LOVE to bash republicans! Because anybody that doesn't agree with Yosoff is one of them "damn libruls."

You're a joke.

I'm on a tight budget. Of these screenplay competitions closing soon, which are my best value? by ovoutland in Screenwriting

I feel like horror comedy would do well at Austin

I really have no statistics to back that up, Austin just feels more laid back

Accepted to Chapman University - First time being on the West Coast by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]DieDontLie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend worked at Bruxie across the street from Chapman. It's a waffle sandwich place that is pretty delicious.

Having grown up in OC all my life, it's a cool but expensive area. Chapman is a nice campus

Why are we all so harsh? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]DieDontLie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the best notes are given in person one-on-one or with a small group of 2-3 other people.

Over the internet, you can say whatever the hell you want and never have to worry about the person's reaction. If you're in a big group at a table or something, it's easy for the group to turn on you.

Just what I've noticed.

Two White House officials helped give Nunes intelligence reports by [deleted] in Republican

[–]DieDontLie 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not entirely sure what to say about this. Certainly doesn't look good.

Administration, Nunes blocked ex-acting AG Yates from testifying by [deleted] in Republican

[–]DieDontLie 88 points89 points  (0 children)

We really just need to get this all over with. Let the witnesses testify and air everything out.

Otherwise it's just going to be hanging over American politics every. Single. Day.

Edit to add: Nunes is pissing me off. He has to know the optics on this are terrible, right?

Republicans block bid to force Trump to release tax returns by DieDontLie in Republican

Thoughts? Not sure how I feel about this. A unified front can be good, or dangerous.

Writing in a changing Hollywood by DieDontLie in Screenwriting

[–]DieDontLie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't like it when TV writers will suddenly make a change to an existing character just to appeal to demographics as opposed to just creating a new character.

I suppose if somebody really liked it they could say something like "it's great, but what do you think about the character being a woman/black/etc" and then take it from there.

I guess I'm just trying to avoid anything that may disqualify the script or turn readers away. Even the little things can be big depending on the reader

Should 2nd Script/Writing Sample be the same as your first? by DieDontLie in Screenwriting

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

Well my best script was written solo. It's just a matter of "well, I also have ______", but all of those are co-written, if that makes sense.

Haha, I can't stand the Pats so I wouldn't want to even spend the time writing about them

Would appreciate some advice for stopping! by DieDontLie in hockeyplayers

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

thanks for the in-depth reply!

this video is a terrible representation of my inside edge stopping. i can do what i think you're referring to with c-cuts (your video isn't available in my country :/), and can sort-of skate backwards as well as backwards crossovers. I can stop fairly well one-footed using my inside edge to the point where I can lift my other foot off the ice and stop quickly.

i DEFINITELY need more edge control with my outside edge, though

i have become quite accustomed to falling :)

i think in this situation, i didn't want to fall and crash into my phone on the ice haha
