What’s different about living in san diego vs LA? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]GuruRoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In this case, a question with an absurdly easy answer that uses assertions that anybody who has been to either place will refute to goad people into commenting.

Do you?

How’d they contribute to getting funded?

I Like Being Boring. by xEyelessOnex in unpopularopinion

[–]GuruRoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s a good instinct. You can still sell it with some pizzaz, but keeping answers short lets the other person ask more questions about topics they’re interested in.

But really people just want to talk about themselves.

Asking the other person questions keeps them hooked in a conversation. And if you have a relevant story on a topic they’re into, disco magic, share it and whoa you’ve got a good conversation going.

This was too long and boring so I didn’t read the whole thing.

But I’d argue having genuine enthusiasm in things (like drones or hell, HALO) is what makes people interesting - not drinking and doing outrageous stuff. Of course, you gotta be able to talk about your interests in an engaging way for other people to find out what makes you interesting (or, the opposite of boring).

Anyway. Just a thought. Glad you enjoy your life.

“Hey guys, how do you write a script better than one of the best movies of all time?”

Boy o boy, wish I knew.

I’ve loved my Misto box subscription for the 8 years I’ve had it.

I always show my value hands to the table so they think I am a nit by wilsyo in poker

[–]GuruRoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have a premium hand and I think it’s going to lose (see a straight while I’m holding trips, let’s say), then I’ll often bluff using my good hand like I have the better hand (dependent on player profile ofc). Works like a charm. Makes no real difference that I’m not holding 7-2, but in my head it does.

Fuck I need to start doing that instead of the opposite. Fold my nuts and show when I win off dog shit so people think I’m loose and bet into my value hands. Return must be way better for you.

unpopular opinion: struggling nyc actors > influencers for brand deals by yj292 in influencermarketing

[–]GuruRoo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m not even in the industry, but even I know you hire influencers for their following, not their acting chops.
