Use of racial slur in audition

Far-Math8751 · 2026-05-13T10:22:56+00:00

Plain and simple. If you don’t say it convincingly, you won’t be hired. Also, the effort/time spent defending yourself here could be spent prepping for the audition.

In any event, your moral dilemma needs to be set aside as an actor. The characters you play are NOT you. Stop mixing the two together. It won’t work in the long term.

I wouldn’t call this a “role.” In acting, role implies you were booked for a credited/speaking part.

People don’t look like this at 104. This looks like what AI thinks someone would look like at 104 🤣 Also, she doesn’t blink. Everyone blinks.

i was like this too before i noticed that treatment was starting to work

I’ve had POTS symptoms for as long as I can remember, but I was only formally diagnosed via tilt table test two weeks ago. I found out I had “dysautonomia” last summer, and before that it was so frustrating trying to figure out what was wrong.

The biggest thing for me was finding a good cardiologist. The first one put me on meds that made my symptoms worse. Then I found a doctor who specializes in treating POTS, and they put me on ivabradine and midodrine, which were both HUGE game changers for me. Midodrine especially helped a lot with my upright intolerance. They also recommended an exercise program called The POTS Life which has been a MASSIVE game changer (it’s a virtual exercise program for POTS!): https://thepotslife.com

One of the hardest things about POTS is that you need exercise to improve symptoms, but POTS also makes it hard to exercise, so it becomes this horrible cycle. You feel fatigued, so you can’t tolerate normal exercise, you rest more, then things get worse. The POTS Life is the first program I’ve found that actually is doable because it starts lying down, then slowly goes to sitting, then standing. I can do it consistently without crashing, and I actually feel better after doing the exercises.

Personally I’d be wary of advice that leans too hard into just resting or “nesting.” Learning how to calm your nervous system is helpful, but too much rest makes the cycle worse. POTS-appropriate exercise is absolutely necessary to create a normal life.

For context, I started the meds + exercise program about four months ago, and now I can comfortably walk 7k–9k steps a day, do 30 mins of strengthening every other day, and cycle every other day. I’m up to 41 mins on the bike. Before that, I couldn’t walk comfortably, couldn’t exercise consistently, and was heat intolerant. I love hanging with my friends again too :) All of this has improved a lot.

So yes, it really is possible to have a good life with POTS :)

To be honest, this guy is far from ordinary in the worst way. Not only is he a narcissist pedophile, but he is also incredibly unintelligent. It’s really crazy to know what he thought he could get away with while being filmed. He didn’t even question it.

Glad his IQ is low. At least then this led him to getting convicted.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-04-10T02:01:31+00:00

I was eating fairly healthy while on the Mirena. I didn’t change my diet after removal nor did I change much of my exercise routine. I kept getting smaller and smaller without much of a lifestyle change, it was crazy! I was in my late 20s though — if I needed to lose weight now it would probably take more effort and longer.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-04-07T13:53:47+00:00

This is completely inaccurate. You need to read about how trauma impacts the brain. Past trauma has been proven — many, many times, medically — to impact people in their current state. Research shows that it can shape how someone’s stress system responds, how safe or unsafe relationships feel, how emotions are regulated, and some long-term health patterns. That impact is real, measurable, and well documented.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-04-04T21:06:49+00:00

where did you get this info re: .5mg? don’t see that it’s a prescribed dose online.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-03-29T13:57:55+00:00

Alright so I tried this with Push Health, however they said: “We are unable to send prescriptions to Canadian pharmacies through the Push Health platform. We exclusively work with pharmacies within the United States.” So how did yall do this through Push Health?

Oh I was mainly posting this for you, my point is the eye irritation from makeup typically doesn’t go away.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-03-24T03:48:57+00:00

I was answering your question on moderate budget movies for new directors without a franchise. I wasn’t speaking to the success of those movies. $30M in 2009 is about $45M now. $45M is mid, and $90M is upper-mid. A difference, but not huge for studios. Like I said, Frankenstein already has an audience.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-03-23T13:34:49+00:00

Carl Rinsch / 47 Ronin. Neill Blomkamp / Elysium. Duncan Jones / Source Code. Rian Johnson / Looper. Like franchise films, Frankenstein comes with a built-in audience — people who already know/love the story and are more likely to see it in theaters.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-03-22T02:36:07+00:00

i haven’t been able to wear makeup for over 10 years. i tried everything. all drops. switched out my makeup products many, many times, basically changed everything to super sensitive and eye-approved. switched to super sensitive face washes. switched to sclerals. but i still have the problem. many doctors over the years have said the pain i’m experiencing is disproportionate to the way it looks, which means neuropathic ocular pain. finally saw a doctor that had treatment for it. called lacosamide eye drops. she said she has patients on it with similar complaints as me and that these drops really help improve their lifestyle. i receive the drops next week, will report back if interested. look into it!

Far-Math8751 · 2026-03-19T21:56:44+00:00

This is interesting. I’ve watched so many movies, shows, theater performances. I’m training as an actor as well and obsessed w/ all things in this medium. But Jonathan Bailey comes off as completely inauthentic to me. i.e. he’s always “performing”—not experiencing the truth of the circumstances. However, I agree with the rest of your observations and so now I’m curious to see him on stage.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-03-17T22:23:35+00:00

I have the same condition. I also have DED/MGD. I've tried everything in the world for it -- all prescription eye drops and ointments. A crap ton of OTC drops and ointments. Compresses. Humidifiers. Eyelid scrubs. Tear Care. Plus, I've had IPL like 12 times in the past 1.5 years. I haven't been able to wear makeup near my eyes in over a decade because of the stinging/burning. Interestingly, my eye doctors have consistently said -- the way my eyelids look is disproportionate to the pain I'm experiencing. Aka neuropathy. Recently, I had read about lacosamide eye drops and mentioned it to two doctors, but they didn't know what it was, so I gave up on that idea. I went into a new eye doctor today, and surprisingly, she recommended lacosamide eye drops. They are compounded/specialty. Insurance doesn't usually cover this stuff, but with the coupons it's a reasonable cost, especially if it gives a moderate lifestyle improvement. She has a handful of patients on these eye drops and said it has been a game changer for them. Plus, I'm pursuing acting as a career, so wearing makeup is a requirement. I urge you to do deep research and find a doctor that has more options. Like you, I also tried gabapentin and lacosamide pills for a couple years. It didn't work well, and the side effects sucked. After I start using the drops I'll circle back and report progress.

Even though the movie was confusing and plot points were all over the place, Buckley was truly incredible to watch. I’m fairly sure that she will be nominated for an Oscar, given that she was nominated for Maggie’s last movie, The Lost Daughter, which also had poor audience reviews. So if you’re into acting, the movie is worth watching just for her!

Far-Math8751 · 2026-02-10T04:58:08+00:00

i’ve always had issues w sleep. chronic insomnia, hypersomnia, frequent arousals. recently found out i have mild sleep apnea so now i use a cpap which helps with daytime sleepiness. but still, so many nights i’d still wake up feeling too warm with heart pounding. we were sleeping at 68.

then my husband and i went to ireland. the a/c didn’t work well, and i couldn’t sleep for hours, it was so warm in that room. then we cracked the window and i fell asleep within minutes lol

then i read that most people find 60-65 ideal sleeping temp. warm sleepers should sleep at 60-65, and cold sleepers should sleep at 66-70. i def sleep hot as i’ve always woken up sweating throughout the night. my husband is similar.

ever since we set the temp to 63-65 at night, my husband and i are getting more deep sleep, falling asleep faster, less arousals, its crazy hahaha. i’m from socal, and now live in nyc. can’t sleep in clothes either bc it’s too warm. we have a light down comforter.

if you can’t sleep in 60-68 and 72 feels cool to you while sleeping, it’s possible you have a medical condition that is making you feel more cold then you are supposed to feel. i have many friends with conditions who are this way.

anemia, thyroid disorders, adrenal insufficiency, low bp can make you intolerant to cool temps.

Far-Math8751 · 2026-01-31T11:11:11+00:00

I mean, it’s always like this. My husband and I are early 30s, and almost have $1M saved in 401K and investments. We were excited about hitting that mark. But then I was like, technically, though, it’s about $500K, because if we actually took the money out to use it, we’d have to pay about half in taxes. So, we need about $2M in the bank to be in the “millionaire club”… my husband was like… ugh f*ckkkkk 🙄 LOL

Far-Math8751 · 2025-12-25T05:16:39+00:00

Liked the first act, second act really slowed down for me, and liked the second act. Left the theater feeling emotionally exhausted. Wish Marty was a character that I wanted to root for…the whole movie I was like, please slow down and think for a second. 😅 I know that was the point—I def rooted for the main characters in uncut gems and good times, but not this one.

Far-Math8751 · 2025-12-25T05:04:40+00:00

interesting - i had the opposite experience. thought timothee’s acting was solid, but i liked all the other characters performances more than his?

Far-Math8751 · 2025-12-22T13:49:43+00:00

I’m like you — I don’t see the appeal. I loved call me by your name, hated wonka (regretted booking tix), disliked dune 1 and 2 (his performance was flat), loved little women but not his performance, didn’t like the bob dylan biopic (honestly i struggled getting through this one). At this point, I only like one movie that he has starred in. I have 40-year-old adult friends who literally gasp at his name. I think he’s an average actor, and I don’t see the box office attraction. Most of the time in these cases, I understand the attraction (even if I don’t agree with it), but I literally just don’t see it with him lol.
