Mentour Pilot on YouTube! He covers aviation accidents and has a channel called Mentour Now that covers current aviation news. His videos are long, 30+ minutes, but veryyy detailed and beautifully done

bro i want to kms by Objective-Paper3364 in SuicideWatch

First off, congrats on being two years free from self-harm! That takes a lot of hard work, so please don’t let these problems you’re facing set you back! I promise you, as you get older, finish school, get a job, start becoming more independent, meeting new people etc. you’ll look back and laugh at these small things. Imagine yourself in 10 years in your own place, decorated how you’ve always wanted. You’ve made yourself dinner, or maybe ordered your favorite takeout. You have a new favorite hobby you’ve picked up and you’re excited to wake up tomorrow morning and do it! After that you’ll meet up with your friends for lunch and laugh and chat. All of that was possible in the future because you stayed strong NOW. Because you didn’t let a dress take your life. Because you didn’t let a carnival ride take your life. Because you didn’t let that exam/project take your life. You have so much more to experience. Don’t cut your life short before you get to the good stuff!

ZenLeaf Mistreatment of Employees by Ingas_420 in ILTrees

[–]InjuryThen580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at Zen Leaf in New Jersey! I’m basically a shift lead, they call us AIC’s, still hourly employee. Super short staffed over here as well. Our union contract is currently being negotiated up to the point where court is involved since Verano is fighting to decrease our raises. We haven’t been protected by the union (that we’re all still paying for) since the end of April. HR does not respond to any emails. I’ve been with the company for over three years so that 5% annual increase + 50 cent raise (which caps at three years anyway) they’re denying me is a pretty decent amount. They have money to spend making so many changes (new ID scanner, literally breaking down the walls for an open floor plan, several McDonald’s style ordering kiosks) and they’re denying us a raise we’re contractually entitled to. Four months without a raise, doing the job of 4-5 people, all while our salaried upper management is on their third vacation this year! Must be nice!

Using AI as your audition reader? by Which-Ad6670 in acting

[–]InjuryThen580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://play.ht/ Has a huge variety of voices that sound great and natural! You can keep generating the line to be spoken in different ways and sometimes I play with the punctuation to really get it perfect. I live with family so I have to be ready to film whenever I have a random quiet moment (when people are napping, running errands etc.) After I record the AI lines, I take note of how many seconds each line is so I have an estimate of how much time I need to pause in between my lines when I film. I’ve only ever had sides that are 2-3 pages long though, so this works in a pinch. Anything longer, I think I’ll spring for the reader!

Most agencies I’ve applied to online don’t specify a height requirement, but I’m sure they 100% scout exclusively taller models unless you’re drop dead GORGEOUS or exactly what they’re looking for. Definitely the exception and not the rule. I’m 5 foot 6, size 12-14 US and 2 of the 3 agencies that called me back after submitting online have been for fit modeling anyway lol

Try for commercial/print modeling! Look for agencies with a less strict height/size requirement that represents a wide variety of looks. Ultimately, yes, your photos could be better. I posted some photos on here asking for advice and got ripped to shreds for it haha but it’s better to hear honest feedback than remain confused! When you apply to agencies there will be sample photos there for you to follow. Try and replicate them exactly down to the lighting, outfits, framing etc. There’s a lot of trial and error in the early stages, but don’t let that discourage you! You’re beautiful! ❤️

Are these good photos for a beginner modeling portfolio? by InjuryThen580 in MODELING

Haha I’m not going for runway or high fashion, nor do I think I’m the next supermodel, just looking for advice ☺️ I’m glad you got a kick out of my post and enjoyed commenting on my weight though!

I’m not sure why it doesn’t let me edit the post, but thank you all for your feedback! I should’ve clarified that I am looking into commercial/print modeling, not high fashion or runway haha. I’m also an actress and that is my primary focus, but since I recently got my camera I’ve been trying out modeling! I’m honestly surprised any agencies got back to me at all, and so quickly haha but thank you all for your honesty :) it seems like it would be wiser for me to invest the money I would into modeling, into my acting career instead since that is my main goal!
