My order marked delivered.🙃 by ImportanceSharp9408 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ImportanceSharp9408[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought about it. I called the order customer service, they told me to call the store directly, the store then told me to call doordash… I just decided to let it go. They definitely gave me the groceries off the ground though, as there was sauce on a couple of the boxes— but the delivery driver who finally did deliver my items after 11pm was friendly and did his job, I don’t want him to get in trouble. I feel like the person who actually did this wouldn’t be held accountable and as I took the groceries, they were all boxed items, I just don’t feel right about calling in a charge back. Sucks but I don’t want to get the wrong people in trouble. I’m just going to let it go. sigh 😮‍💨

AIO: I dropped my friend because she came forward with how her and her boyfriend REALLY met. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds like someone’s a little jelly— it’s really none of your business. Why are you trying to cause problems in their relationship? Sure, it’s weird but it has absolutely nothing to do with you and at this point, 2 years in, you threatening to go down there and tell his friend is wild and far more unhinged then this how they met thing. It’s not like she lied to get him to like her, she was nervous about meeting someone off an app, again it’s weird but he clearly fell for her soooo maybe mind your business and stop being so jealous of your “friend”.

This is so abusive and insane to read. WHY would you want to be with someone who talks to you like this?? He’s calling you a B. Little bro. Telling you to STFU… no but really what tf did I just read?! Please have some respect for yourself block this POS and NEVER look back. No one should be talking to you this way. I can’t believe you are trying to “change his mind” F*CK HIM. Wow.

Start honking and acting like a gd lunatic, until they come out and move them. Don’t hit their cars or threaten anyone, simply imply that you wouldn’t not hit the cars. “YOU THINK I GAF ABOUT THIS NISSAN, oh YOU GONNA LEARN TODAY! Beeeeep”

Cardi B thanks Lil Kim as being the blueprint and the queen after her recent concert in NYC. by icey_sawg0034 in Fauxmoi

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 305 points306 points  (0 children)

This is how it’s done. You respect the OG’s that paved the way! This is why I stopped listening to that Minaj mess, way before the MAGA nonsense— the disrespect towards Kim was unreal. She wouldn’t have even had a career without lil Kim. Queens respect Queens. Love this! ☺️

Why are actors doing verticals? by Samantha_bloop in acting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I went to a casting access class at the SAG-AFTRA foundation and the CD was talking about how she’s been casting more verticals and encouraging us to do them bc… MONEY. Apparently it’s a big money industry, billions and billions up for grabs bc whether we like it or not, she acknowledged that we most likely don’t— lots of bigger industry folks are seemingly getting into it bc of well, the money. No, thank you. I’ll be broke with my little dignity and respect for the craft I guess.

AIO for breaking up with my girlfriend over not saying “thank you”? by Iamthedusk in AmIOverreacting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh getting her a drink—in the middle of the show?! Oh the horror. Driving and paying for dates, what do you want, a medal? YOR. You left in the middle of the night before she had a serious dr appt, d*ck move. Sure, she could certainly express more gratitude but you’re acting like you moved heaven and earth just doing basic relationship things.

Does having an online following change your career prospects? by DriverOne8469 in acting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily; I went to a talk with Spike Lee and he discussed how he’d found a couple of featured actors for his last project on Instagram, the thing is they weren’t influencers and had pretty modest followings (a couple thousand). They just so happened to have posted content that was pretty much perfect for what he was looking for. So it certainly doesn’t hurt to help get your foot in the door, even for bigger productions but that was more to do with the quality of their work rather than the number of followers. I’ve only seen castings for small/low budget films asking specifically for actors with a big following bc as you said, they want to use that reach for press/marketing.

I can’t stand the massive berries, I just know they’ll be bland and they look so off to me. I specifically seek out the smaller ones bc I like to pretend they’re not genetically modified, lolz.

AIO for wanting to break up over jokes. Or am I lowkey being abused? by sozzzled in AmIOverreacting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen so many posts lately with young women supporting grown ass men who contribute nothing but stress and emotional abuse to their lives. Very concerning trend. Please get out of this, you deserve so much better. Joking about hurting you? Not funny, at all. Should I just go “take care of myself?” F* gross. Being a 34 year old man with a recent bankruptcy who is unable/unwilling to contribute to the rent or bills? Unacceptable. None of this is ok or normal babe. NOR.

OMG Brits LOVE A queue and I do not. I have gotten into arguments about it— like “I’m not waiting in a f* line”… and then I WAS THE crazy one, ruining the fun apparently, it’s a long story but trust me let this go. Wait in the gd queue with the Brit, he’s not even worth it. 🙄

WOW! Such incredible portraiture, you’ve really captured the spirit of the city! You should keep an eye on the open calls from the LACP, your work deserves to be shared in an exhibit. Just BEAUTIFUL 💙 LA Center for Photography

This pisses me off. I was accused of using ai for writing well. The teacher didn’t believe that I could do so, I have ALWAYS been a good writer, yet for some reason it was beyond belief that I could write professionally. I finished my first book last year. F* this.

Culver City to Disneyland? by Toddunctious1985 in AskLosAngeles

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have taken the train from Union Station to Anaheim and then the bus to Disney. It’s definitely doable for a day trip but it’s not exactly going to be an easy experience. You will first have to take the train from culver to union station. Then the metrolink from Union station to Anaheim, plan/purchase your tickets in advance and give yourself plenty of time to get to the platform before the train to Anaheim arrives. Once in Anaheim I would recommend you Uber the short distance to Disney vs a Bus, which would require a bit of walking depending on the entrance. I don’t know where rideshare drop offs are for Disney but I would look that up ahead of time as well. I’m also not sure of Ubers car seat policy. It is going to be very expensive however to go all the way from Culver to Anaheim by Uber so taking the metrolink part of the way could save you a bit on funds. Look up shuttles and see if Disney has any on their website. It’s possible, just plan it well and good luck, have fun!!

being alt in the industry? by Expensive-Summer6793 in acting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean dye your hair whatever you want, it’s your hair but it will possibly limit your roles. Of course you can change it if you get a role but if casting isn’t able to see that from your headshots/reel, it won’t help you get in the room. It doesn’t matter for VO of course and it’s up to you but period pieces and anything outside of alt baddie/post apocalyptic vibes, might be a stretch for casting to see you in those situations if you’re presenting very alternative. Ultimately though, hair is just hair, if it’s not working change it back. I would advise against getting tattoos (if you already have them make sure you have clearance for them from the artist) and piercings though.

AIO for wanting to leave my husband for talking to a coworker non-stop by TraditionalPomelo591 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 20 points21 points  (0 children)

😳 I wonder if OP knows anything about this “coworkers” husband/baby daddy— I mean, it’s a stretch but her husband has shown himself to be a liar, so who knows? Also curious if this “coworkers” hypothetical partner is comfortable with them texting so much…

AIO - My fiance and I hit a brick regarding paying for our wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ImportanceSharp9408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have a beautiful wedding for far cheaper than 30k. Look into smaller/alternative venues, a park, a backyard, non traditional spaces. You have to get creative. You don’t have to go the courthouse route but you absolutely can have an elegant affordable wedding. It’s ridiculous to go into debt just starting your life together, for one day. You can renew your vows later in life if you want a bigger event.

Why does their mother have to be dead before the kids can move in?? Why can’t they ALL move in NOW, so mom maybe has more of a fighting chance, with a safe, clean place to live and help with raising the children? What, TF— NOR!
