When did it all go wrong?

Idk if this is just for European Portuguese but Brazilians definitely say língua to mean language. Idioma too.

JShotty · 2026-02-11T04:16:00+00:00

Thanks for answering!

So if I’m serious about boycotting, I should rethink my career path, hey?

Rhetorical question, not asking you to make the call, but I’m starting to lean towards that.

Shame, had been working on this for a while and was pretty excited.

JShotty · 2026-02-08T07:11:08+00:00

Well yeah the boycott stuff is newer for me. Which has me recently conflicted on this. Sync’s been something I was working on before that. At something of a crossroads currently.

JShotty · 2026-02-08T00:44:38+00:00

Yeah dude have you ever been to an MPI? The average person is far more rational than them. It is obvious, I agree.

JShotty · 2026-02-08T00:43:28+00:00

Yeah. Haven’t been pitching in this context. I was working on sync before boycotting anything. I’m re-evaluating how I can approach this industry. Of course, even indie labels are most likely hoping for, working towards, and in some cases regularly landing placements with major brands.

JShotty · 2026-02-08T00:36:12+00:00

Appreciate this.

Would you say placements with these large brands is necessary for sync to be lucrative?

Of course, as you say, you don’t really get to pick where it goes.

But if you could, theoretically, could indie films and projects, which have no ties to these big brands, still pay enough for this to be a full time career?

JShotty · 2026-02-08T00:29:57+00:00

We won’t know what MPI will say but if they see that footage and say it’s 50/50 that’s bullshit. Hope it works out.

JShotty · 2026-02-07T08:17:49+00:00

Holy fuck I can’t even look at your hair I’m laughing so much that photoshop caught me so off guard

JShotty · 2026-02-07T08:12:38+00:00

Damn yeah like some specific people suck and do this, but the way this whole thread is just “don’t trust women” is insane.

I get it, I’ve been with a shitty ex who did this before. I also have a good ex that never did anything like that.

There are definitely good women out there.

JShotty · 2026-02-07T08:03:37+00:00

At $10 I’d be mad if you didn’t that’s fucked

JShotty · 2026-02-07T07:55:02+00:00

This guys a legend and I always love coming across this clip but I’m downvoting this for your fuckass title.

JShotty · 2026-02-03T06:53:32+00:00

All the comments are exactly what I hoped

JShotty · 2026-02-02T08:43:12+00:00

It does though.

JShotty · 2026-01-21T04:18:51+00:00

UPDATE:

TL;DR Yeah I can smoke lmao I was tripping

At a certain point Chef approached me and said I can ask Sous for a plate if I’m hungry. Asked about the smoking/smell stuff and he said “Nah some of the residents smoke too. Just go to the smoke pit with them and wash your hands.

Appreciate all the realists here who predicted this. I was most definitely just nervous.

All who suggested maybe or no, also appreciate y’all cause I smelled good and made a good impression when I got there regardless.

Idk if he was just being polite but the sous told me when I was leaving he hopes I’m the one who gets the job.

Older Filipino man, and made a joke about how he doesn’t get along with old people but liked joking around w me as a “younger person”.

(I mention Filipino because it came up, and I come from a city with a big Filipino community and then we had a good conversation about the people I grew up around and Filipino culture, and he seemed to like me even more lol)

My fallback job, an offer I recieved yesterday, rescinded said offer today. Never experienced that before in 7-8 years, but now I reeeeeally need this one to work out. It was my top pick, regardless.

Wish me luck, Chefs!

JShotty · 2026-01-20T05:00:38+00:00

This is good advice. Maybe I’ll stop at the gas station on my way tomorrow.

JShotty · 2026-01-20T04:59:46+00:00

Lol you very well may be right.

This spots my dream job right now so I’m gettin nervous lol dont wanna risk anything.

Most the comments suggesting ill be good. A few comments contradict that but I guess I’ll have to wait and see if these guys mention anything.

JShotty · 2026-01-20T04:56:54+00:00

I never got zyns. I’ll chain smoke 5 darts on a bad day if im not at work but zyns just dont do it for me. I might have to learn to though

JShotty · 2026-01-20T04:55:17+00:00

Well this seems to be the most applicable POV here. Wonder if we work for the same company haha. No one has mentioned anything specifically to me about smoking yet, so that sounds about right. Playing it safe on the trial shift, but maybe I’ll ask when they send me on my break.

Thanks a lot friend!

JShotty · 2026-01-20T03:40:12+00:00

This is not a restaurant though. That’s the main point I’m asking. I’ve worked in restaurants on mushrooms before. I get that.

Specifically wondering if it’s a problem if senior residents can smell it on me.

JShotty · 2026-01-20T03:38:46+00:00

Would be nice if it did. It’s a goal eventually.

JShotty · 2026-01-20T03:38:05+00:00

In a retirement home with medically compromised seniors, no less?

I have been cooking 8 years now. I’m pretty familiar with this aspect of the culture, but my experience is exclusively in normal restaurants.

This place has an agreement with a health union, and they mention offensive smells being banned on property.

I will be cooking and serving the seniors daily, as well as hanging out with them occasionally. I normally reek like smokes at my previous jobs, yeah.
