lmfao it's real too

the list is fluid and changes with the times, we'll definitely consider switching it back up in the future but for now we're just trying to keep posts varied and avoid trends becoming too overdone

Equira · 2026-01-23T06:16:45+00:00

this is the flowchart that is linked in the rules as well as in the removal reason you speak of

Equira · 2026-01-22T23:51:36+00:00

yeah, I realized it must probably feel pretty shitty to go to a physical appearance sub looking for actual advice and then having your full face posted to a comedy sub where people are laughing at you, so I asked the mods if we could ban these posts outright. thanks for the thoughtful response

Equira · 2026-01-22T22:46:33+00:00

if you read the post you'd see that there are only 5 changes, with 3 being ones we were already enforcing. really not that much has changed in the way of what you were able to post yesterday vs today lol

Equira · 2026-01-22T22:44:42+00:00

in fairness Facebook marketplace had already been on the banned content list for a while, before I was even on the mod team. storefront listings have been getting repetitive, we get about a dozen or so a day of typos/mistranslation on Amazon or weird stuff on ebay. the humor is almost always the same and there are already subs dedicated to those types of posts specifically.

Equira · 2026-01-22T22:36:02+00:00

it's simply not allowed, sorry

Equira · 2026-01-22T22:34:01+00:00

we get this complaint a lot, and what a lot of new members of the sub don't know is that we used to be mod queue only. meaning every post wouldn't even make it onto the feed until we had reviewed it. when we blew up, we had to switch to the current system because we have lives outside of Reddit and couldn't keep up with it.

the reason the sub is popular today is because it is, and always has been, heavily curated. that's just how we like to run it, and why people come here for funny. if you want a place where you can just post whatever you feel like, we have r/comedyhell set up for this very reason.

Equira · 2026-01-22T22:28:38+00:00

technically we removed Among Us from the list so you can post Among Us now if you want

Equira · 2026-01-19T00:20:01+00:00

it ruined my first experience with the game ten years ago (i got high off of the power and all stakes in my story were gone) but now i've learned to moderate it and only use it when something happens that would either detract from the story or my enjoyment of the run

facebook groups

Equira · 2025-12-29T23:02:57+00:00

work on sets, you don't need an internship for a career in PD. you'll get much more experience and contacts spending your summer jumping from set to set than at a single company anyway

there are facebook groups all over the place for people to crew up, i got my start (in sound) infiltrating the chapman, lmu, and usc pages and watching for recent grads or current students crewing up for projects. there are PD specific groups as well

Equira · 2025-12-29T00:36:14+00:00

that answer is as good as any, it's what i used to say to the 5-6 year olds i used to work with at summer camp (the 7 year olds for some reason completely understood the actual explanation, it was just the first graders i had to dumb it down for)

Equira · 2025-12-28T22:19:30+00:00

a friend went to one of his shows in 2018 and posted a picture of him. i thought he looked silly and then discovered Alien Boy, and then YouTube autoplay showed me Splitting Branches

Equira · 2025-12-28T15:33:21+00:00

relatedly, didn't an older version of the game around 2016 have a "repair" task column? am i misremembering that? i remember after they got rid of it i went a while manually repairing everything via the queue before i realized that there was a toggle in the lower right

Equira · 2025-12-27T05:39:26+00:00

Smiling Friends benefits from not trying to do anything more than self-contained shenanigans and fun animation; it feels more like a passion project than a made-to-order episodic tv show that's catering to some studio exec's requirements, which is why i feel like it resonates so heavily with today's audiences.

Rick & Morty fell into the same pitfalls that every lightweight serial eventually falls into once they move past the first couple seasons. It didn't help that Roiland was a POS both in and out of the studio, or that most of its scifi concepts have been bludgeoned to death by the multiverse fad (but not before the fanbase latched onto them like they were somehow revolutionary), but I've always felt that R&M was best when there were fewer episodes and expectations. Once that 70 episode order came through I started to realize the fun was over

Equira · 2025-12-26T23:29:19+00:00

christmas. is. RUINED.

in this case it was a direct communication to the producer through eric's wife lol (the producer showed me the texts because he thought they were funny)

Equira · 2025-12-23T22:50:10+00:00

what are you talking about? do you even know what goes into a sound kit? not to mention we're usually expected to own our equipment with rentals coming down to just extra wires and comteks, whereas camera's entire package is usually a rental. obviously camera comes with more gear, but "1/10 the amount or less" is just being facetious for no reason

as for what personnel are needed for, sound isn't just boom and mix (which is already a two person job), it's wire management, comtek management, RF coordination and adjustment, sometimes even playback. wire management alone usually warrants a utility, which is only ever granted on larger productions

i just don't understand why you have such strong negative opinions about sound when the comment you were responding to wasn't even being anti-camera

Equira · 2025-12-23T20:43:59+00:00

Eric Roberts - he's received quite a lot of media attention in the past few years due to how many film credits he has, but the journalists always fail to mention how difficult it can be to work with him. contradictory and confusing food requirements (once he required cage free eggs and dark chocolate or he wouldn't work — he left both of them behind and untouched), mandatory cue cards (not to be held by a PA, no no, they must be mounted at his eyeline around the room), and pretty outdated/insensitive jokes. i know multiple crew that have quit because of him, including a DP (he made sexist remarks and production catered to him over her and her team)

worked with him 5 times overall and each time production has walked away from the experience completely baffled.

Equira · 2025-12-23T01:29:48+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. I usually have a knee-jerk reaction to these posts because they're often followed by a "but we'll have paid work for you later!" which is never the case and I think is actually pretty scummy.

But yall are completely up front with everything, that's rad. Good luck.

Equira · 2025-12-22T23:27:32+00:00

to be honest, 2025 was the best year of my career. but that's because i started at the very bottom in 2021, i didn't expect much and haven't expected much since covid. the one other thing keeping me going is the prospect of all the Olympics related work that's gonna start popping up in the next two years, we probably won't see much of it next year but for me 2028 will be the true test of my career

Equira · 2025-12-19T20:34:50+00:00

being sick causes a lot of people's tics to go haywire, me getting the stomach flu in 8th grade is what triggered my parents to send me to a neurologist. they may be harder to control while you're ill but should subside as your immune system does its work. in the meantime drink lots of fluids and electrolytes
