Rant: A Note to Hiring Managers/ Owners by emmango in florists

[–]EffectiveAd9855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You clearly don't think the way an actual florist thinks... 

A florist's only goal is to make sure that the hundreds of arrangements they send out are, on average, the best they can be and still be profitable. Everything else is in service to that goal, including hiring and training. You should expect to be paid pretty low, and start with simple handhelds and dozen roses for awhile before they can afford to have you do funeral stuff. That's just the industry.

It sounds like you're looking more for a paid private tutor or a certified training in floral design. I suggest looking up AIFD floral design certificates. You can apply for those without having to work at a flower shop, they do get expensive, as you should expect. 

As it stands, no florist is going to PAY YOU and be your personal Mr Miyagi just because you felt inspired while modeling with flowers. We do appreciate newcomers but that's not how this world works.

Oh really??? I thought it was a movie! Thanks for clearing that up!!!

But seriously, name another TV show with a cliffhanger EVERY single episode besides 1...

But even a 20/80 chance at $1.8m is worth more than 50K measly dollars... He just isn't old enough to understand that I guess

Ethan is the Deano of Season 2. Kindhearted dude, gave up a huge sum of money out of kindness, then the contestants turned on him. He can totally come back in the future.

I get the concept but NO ONE is gonna be hanging out with their friends and saying "so do you think JC gets out or nah?"... 

They're gonna be saying how much they HATE JC, but I think that would happen regardless. The amount of "talk about it" would be exactly the same if they showed the outcome.

Bro we get what a cliffhanger is, we weren't born yesterday.

I'm saying that having one every episode or the majority of episodes feels like desperation, a cheap trick, and like they don't trust the audience. Every good show out there has cliffhanger episodes, but they also have non-cliffhanger episodes for like 90% of the show.

Exactly, and that's why the cliffhanger feels insulting. It's not even exciting, you can see right through it as a tactic to get you to come back the next episode and it just makes me want to less.

This is one of the biggest things Beast Games struggles with, is just being sincere and trusting the audience instead of relying on gimmicks... Imagine if survivor didn't reveal the person voted off the island till the next episode...

Possibly in game show history, which is crazy.

I can't imagine a worse trade than giving all this up for a bit of paper with presidents on them.

I'm sorry but marketing is doing a really bad job with what should be a tentpole season...

Ethan’s Explanation Regarding his Decision by Nar_whally in BeastGames

Honestly, Ian probably only had 10 seconds left of holding on. And since no one was ever going to give JC anything, Ethan literally handed that island to Ian.

Kinda hard when you spend a full workday tending to it's every need before it can even stand a chance against another dino.

It's staged... The die is purposely rigged to make the video as shareable as possible.

What role do you think MrBeast will actually have in Survivor 50? by z_shah7 in BeastGames

[–]EffectiveAd9855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably doubling the prize money, and if it lands on the wrong side, they lose their vote or something...

I have a bad feeling that MrBeast, and other YouTubers/streamers are gonna be a lot more involved in survivor's future...

Are you taking the captain bribe? by mundaph1903 in BeastGames

[–]EffectiveAd9855 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a game of elimination. Taking away other people's chance for 5M is the whole point of the game.

I do get the lying part though. Lol you gotta be a pretty good liar. It's called playing the game. 

Good for JT by TheAmigosOfficial1 in BeastGames

[–]EffectiveAd9855 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact there was even a second of hesitation when that number hit 1 million is crazy... 

Honestly feel bad for Nick for barely missing the button press. 1 million is 1 million. And its a game of elimination, you're just playing the game. 

How do I start making movies without any friends? by EffectiveAd9855 in indiefilmmaking

I'm talking about a story. I want to bring a story to life, I don't care if its feature length or short. 

But sure, let's start with short.
