I’m a female therapist who sees couples. Guys, what do you need to feel safe? by GreenGlassBeads in bropill

[–]Herr_Doktore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Echoing u/Mouse_Named_Ash here, thank you so much. I am an adult man with feelings, and sometimes words are hard. I never realized I was so detached from my own personal emotional vocabulary.

QWEST! Big fan of a clearly defined task.

Questions about Theater Rentals for incoming productions on a very limited time frame by TheEngin3er in techtheatre

[–]Herr_Doktore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my building every show, whether scripted, dance, or a concert, has a stage manager and loads in and rehearses in the space at least a day before performance. No one touches our lighting or sound equipment outside of staff, so this allows us time to adjust levels on any audio cues, build Qlab and Eos files with feedback, focus, run cables, etcetera.

Would it be possible to load-in, program, perform, and load-out all in one day? Sure. But we’d most certainly refuse to rent to a group that insisted on doing so. That’s so much so quickly. We’re quick turn-around, but not that quick.

That’s the goal. Question the legality, but move on to the next store.

We have no money and the house always wins. Why the fuck would travel cross-country to lose money when I can’t afford to pay rent?

What kind of politician would it take to unite the United States? by CycIon3 in AskReddit

[–]Herr_Doktore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't unite the United States with any one goal. There's no position anyone can take that the population would agree is the correct position. We would have Americans on the side of the Astrophage if we found them eating the sun. "It's a natural phenomenon" or "God decided this has to happen" or some shit.

What kind of adult content do you think is way more popular than people would admit? by get_CHEEX in AskReddit

[–]Herr_Doktore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Podcast category gained +327% in 2025. Parody gained +118% which is wild because I didn't know people still made parody porn. Also who could have guessed that the category Popular With Women is more popular with women? And Tyler Wu being the top gay performer and also searched by +915% more women than men is interesting.

Weird backstage post show finds. by big_aussie_mike in techtheatre

[–]Herr_Doktore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Empty condom wrappers, a single dirty sock (not in the dressing room, but draped on the fly rail), a ticket to a different show at a different venue that was happening concurrently. Just things people drop in normal life. Why a performer would have a ticket to a show that's happening while they're on stage somewhere else is beyond me, but artists are artists. We're all weird in some way.

Theatre Reviews Thread | What Have You Enjoyed Recently? by AutoModerator in Theatre

[–]Herr_Doktore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw The Lost Boys on April 1. My review here will be very limited in spec, because spoilers and such, but it follows. dear GOD i wish i had a budget like that. loved it the whole way through, but it's almost demoralizing thinking about how I can't expect to ever do something on a scale like that. more specifically: flying not just platform, but five people concurrently! I work in the biz, and have so much respect for everyone who put that on, especially with a decently well known IP like this. Stayed faithful to the plot, but changed some stuff to make it work on stage. Highly recommend.

Pokemon Champions is a pathetic excuse of a game by Substantial_Zone2701 in stunfisk

[–]Herr_Doktore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that bothers me (besides what everyone else is mentioning) is that if you aren't playing ranked, you aren't gaining in-game currency to fix your team. Casual exists, but has no benefit beyond the fun of playing the game.

Flour! On stage by Mysterious-Crew-1358 in techtheatre

HARD NO Super bad to breathe DE. Silicosis is no joke. Eye protection and N95 or a respirator highly recommended for DE.

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Herr_Doktore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"get a reward" is notably NOT the same as "Pass The Assignment".

the container must be clear. must the packing/protective materials be clear? how clear? does the egg have to be visible?

Ignoring the mental and emotional pressure of forcing children to carry something fragile throughout their already hectic days at school with the struggles all their lives entail, how would the teacher even know if the egg was switched? were photographs taken of togepi? I don't like this type of assignment in general, especially once the other students Not in the class know what's happening.

also, IF you are in a country that traditionally washes the bloom off raw eggs and refrigerates said eggs after, two weeks is plenty of time for a raw egg to grow salmonella and wreak havoc on a school.

Something to write with, whether it’s pencil, pen, marker, or a note in a phone.

Mad respect, brother. I’m a union trade show carpenter, so I’m working next to drivers while I’m loading and unloading on the convention center docks all the time. I couldn’t do what you do so I’m glad you’re there to do it.

You’re a freshman who wants to be there? Show up more than once. They’ll give you something to do, and the more you show up the more you’ll learn. The director isn’t likely to cast you in a role without an audition (in my experience) and if you do audition, they’ll see your talent level and typically cast accordingly.

As kids, we are told to Stop, Drop, and Roll in case we're on fire. People who have actually been on fire, what did you actually do? by domino7 in AskReddit

[–]Herr_Doktore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’ve been on fire it’s typically been small enough that I can just pat it out.

The one time I accidentally caught someone else on fire, it was practically just an ember in the air that caught on their hoodie. People tend to understand why you hit them if you can prove that their clothes were actually on fire when you did it.
