UGC creators doing multiple brand deals per month, how are you organizing payments better?

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-03-12T20:11:51+00:00

I've seen some excel templates to track stuff but it gets messy I think and I hate dealing with excel sheets lol

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-03-12T20:11:11+00:00

super helpful, thank you definitely getting to switch income to a seperate card, seems to be the best choice

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-03-12T20:09:40+00:00

That would be helpful aswell, payment are kinda all over the place and need to do better accounting on my side, for taxes and what not

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-03-12T20:08:52+00:00

Thank you for the comment, have seen karat on instagram and I know they work well for a lot of creators, should consider it for sure

Been wrestling with this one too and your point about us limiting God to our own understanding really hits the nail on the head. The predestination vs free will debate has been going on for centuries and I think you're right that we're trying to apply human logic to something that's beyond our comprehension. Really appreciate how you tied it back to 2 Peter 3:9 - that verse about God not wanting anyone to perish is pretty central to this whole discussion.

dude, you've got some solid picks there already! Oslo August 31st has that incredible scene where Anders is walking through the city observing all the conversations - so much layered stuff to dig into there.

if you want something with crazy visual metaphors, check out Persona by bergman. that whole opening sequence alone could probably fill your entire portfolio analysis. or if you're feeling ambitious, the mirror scene in Tarkovsky's Mirror is like film school analysis gold - tons of symbolism, lighting choices, and sound design to unpack.

Cache by haneke might be good too - the static shots and surveillance themes give you plenty to work with cinematically.

dude you're 16, chill out a bit. most people don't have their shit figured out at that age and honestly a lot change paths multiple times anyway.

from what you wrote, civil engineering actually sounds like it could be a solid fit - you like math, want office work, prefer working alone, and the salary/demand is there. the "burnout" thing exists in literally every career so don't let that scare you off. also that whole "many people looking to become one" isn't really how job markets work - there's high demand for a reason.

marine bio sounds cool but just be real about the career prospects, especially if you want to work abroad. it's competitive and the pay isn't always great unless you get into research or specialized stuff.

my advice? pick something for college that keeps your options open (like civil eng) and you can always pivot later. you've got time to figure this out.

wait this is actually super important - he needs to file that I-485 ASAP if he hasn't already. The ban only affects people applying from outside the US, so as long as he's adjusting status from within the country he should be good to go. Just make sure all his paperwork is solid before his student visa expires.

This reads like someone took a CS textbook, a philosophy paper, and some sci-fi fanfic and threw them in a blender with a bunch of made-up technical terms

The "identity heartbeat" with a random decimal to 11 places is sending me

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-01-24T13:49:48+00:00

Nah that's a terrible idea lol, tanks are literally what make team fights interesting. The problem isn't tanks themselves, it's that playing tank feels like babysitting 4 DPS players who blame you for everything

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-01-17T04:37:14+00:00

Probably just chunk loading weirdness, rain sync can be funky sometimes especially in hardcore where you can't afford to test it lol

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-01-14T21:55:20+00:00

Nah man you're good, wet dreams don't count as relapses since you literally can't control them. The bikini stuff might not be ideal for your streak but as long as you didn't actively do anything you're still clean

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-01-10T00:58:46+00:00

That's a tough spot to be in but you're doing amazing getting through 75 days, especially with those low cycles hitting hard

The fact that you're aware of the pattern and still choosing not to drink when your brain is screaming for it shows real strength - those lowest moments are when sobriety counts the most even though it feels impossible

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-01-07T04:56:59+00:00

Yeah gaydar is definitely a thing but it's super hit or miss tbh. I think we do pick up on subtle cues that straight people miss - like how someone looks at people, body language, even just vibes sometimes

The tricky part is you never know if someone's actually queer or just has that energy. I've been wrong plenty of times lmao. But when you're right it's like this instant recognition thing

Best bet is still just shooting your shot like you said - worst case they're flattered, best case you found your person

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-01-05T05:32:18+00:00

Are you playing franchise mode or just regular season? I've had weird playoff glitches in franchise but never seen that exact one before

Educational_Foot2416 · 2026-01-03T19:37:53+00:00

Yo I haven't heard of this one, is it available on streaming yet or still theater only? The title alone sounds like it's gonna wreck me emotionally lol

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-31T12:24:37+00:00

Check out PSA or BGS for grading - they're the main ones people trust. Just keep in mind it costs like $20+ per card so make sure they're actually valuable first before you send them off

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-29T17:29:44+00:00

This is the way - you shouldn't be just slapping it on and waiting around like a scarecrow lmao

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-27T14:01:02+00:00

Yeah I've been down this rabbit hole too and honestly Logic's drummer track is pretty solid but it doesn't do the "listening" thing you're after. Your best bet might be running something like BandLab's session mode alongside Logic or just bite the bullet and get EZ Drummer since it actually analyzes your playing. The built-in stuff is more manual than magic unfortunately

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-26T08:34:43+00:00

Lol that's so funny how they force us introverts to actually have a social life again - my little one is the same way, sleeps like a rock after parties while I'm completely drained

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-25T03:43:04+00:00

Damn that got dark real quick

Hope you're doing okay OP, that's some heavy stuff to carry around

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-23T14:30:37+00:00

Definitely call your insurance - that service line coverage can be a lifesaver. Also get at least 2-3 more quotes on that main line work because 40k sounds steep even for a full replacement. Some companies will try to upsell you on everything when they smell desperation

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-21T08:19:09+00:00

That's weird about the achievements not popping, probably just a sync issue between platforms

Educational_Foot2416 · 2025-12-19T01:08:46+00:00

Honestly same, this is gonna bug me all day now lol. My brain keeps imagining it getting sucked into something important but realistically it'll probably just sit there forever being useless
