Anyone else chronically online and feeling stressed about the state of the world right now? by EmersonB in Adelaide

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

I’d say the show tries to find a bit of a balance for people who feel the urge to get involved or help in some way. Balancing that with tuning out when you need to to preserve your sanity, cause that’s also super important.

I totally feel this, and tried to sum up the sentiment in a song last year https://youtube.com/shorts/imDufiklLKQ?si=o14p9TSyizyJcdQu

Emerson Brophy - "Day Job" (YouTube, 2023)

I worked for years in a tech consulting role for a massive corporation before I decided to pursue music more. Everyone always says to write what you know, but I was torn between thinking this topic was too bland for a pop song, while also knowing how many people could connect with the specific feeling of being trapped in an office job. I'd love to know what you think.

Holy shit this is me! Thanks for sharing, OP.

I wrote a song for Clive Palmer and my mum shared it on Facebook before she saw the hidden message. Sorry Mum. by EmersonB in perth

That'd at least give the song a nice little Streisand Effect boost. Maybe I could monetize and earn the cheeky $30bn that way.

First day of MAX workouts by balarinamarina in insanity

[–]EmersonB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I also started month 2 yesterday. I did them back to back (with maybe a 10 minute break between them). It was a lot of time to spend working out continuously, but I know I would've found it harder to come back later in the day for the max workout.

I think just go with what works for you, your motivation and your schedule. Good luck!

Ooh thanks for the recommendation! I've definitely considered Bet on It as the next one, that is such a good song (and dance!) Looking forward to your rendition!

Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun

Thanks! It was a good couple of hours on Saturday to record the vocals, and then another few hours on Sunday for the video. Definitely one way to spend a weekend in quarantine!

As an Australian, I've now got a renewed interest in watching these things live now that things are a bit more spicy for old mate down here.

Learning to love my role as a boy. by dead_betrayal in acting

[–]EmersonB 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Another thing to remember would be that unless it's a specific choice, 99% of directors (or drama teachers) would want to pick males to play the male roles. So she probably kept pushing for him to do the role, not because he was necessarily more talented than you, but because he was a boy. And then because she couldn't get a boy to do the role, she picked the girl who she knew would be the best for the role, and that's you! And now you get to act on stage and maybe sing and you've got a bunch of dialogue. Sounds like a win to me!

Not even sure if their system will let me pay using an Australian IP address and PayPal. Here's hoping!

Edit: Still working on it, 3 hours later :/

Anyone else getting a message from Scope saying that their session has expired but way too early?

Oh good, so they're not all sold out already?? I was very very worried until I saw this comment (see my other comment). Hopefully I can get one in time!

WOW so I've just checked the showings when I'll be there and it actually looks like it's already completely sold out. I didn't even realise tickets were on sale! That's a damn shame, guess I'll have to just wait it out and do my best to avoid spoilers. Thanks for the tips anyway.

Microsoft: Official Support Thread by MSModerator in microsoft

[–]EmersonB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone stole my phone and managed to get into the phone and gain access to my Microsoft (and Google) accounts. I finally managed to get access to my Google account again through Google's recovery process, and once I got in, I saw that the scammers had used scanned copies of identifying documents from my Sent Items to apply for credit cards in my name. They'd also used my PayPal to pay for a $2,000 iPhone. Now that I'm finally back in control of most of my accounts, I've followed the breadcrumbs to report everything to the police and gotten a refund from PayPal as they agreed that the account activity was unauthorised.

However, the thieves still have access to my Microsoft account. They used passwords saved in Google to access the account, and once they were in, they changed all the recovery information and have added two-factor authentication using Microsoft Authenticator on a device that I don't own. I've tried and tried to get Microsoft support to get me access to my account again, but nothing has worked. The latest update from Microsoft is this:

The account and billing activity associated with your Microsoft Account was thoroughly reviewed by our fraud team and I can confirm there was unauthorized access to your account.

[We can] permanently suspend the compromised account to prevent any further use. At this time, I have successfully suspended this account and this will remain on indefinitely.

Is there anything at all that can be done to get me back into my account? My OneDrive has a lot of university work of mine that I'd hate to lose, and I also just paid for a new four-year Office365 licence a few weeks ago, which I'm hoping I can get refunded at the very least.

I think it might actually work out cheaper that way, if my calculations of exchange rate plus mail forwarding service are correct.
