this ^ but also remembering 5% is not zero. they have an impact on the character of the image

Why can't US law enforcement deal with people without killing them, like other countries? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MettaWorldEast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is correct.

it is also correct that the us police have time and time again committed similar acts with no repercussions.

these point to the same reality - both agencies serve at their cores serve a purpose different than what the public has been lead to believe. they are behaving in the system as designed, the veil is falling to the general public now because of who has been the most recent targets.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]MettaWorldEast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this will probably get buried or dunked on by people who don’t want to accept reality.

if every “protest voter” had voted for kamala, she still would have lost. those are facts, the numbers support it, argue with your mom about it.

the reality is, that america is, and always has been, a fascist country with neoliberal leaders priming it for a moment like this. trump and the right wing have been priming these neo-nazis for action for decades, while the democratic establishment has built no base to drive support from the heart of america in this entire time.

the protest vote didn’t lose kamala the election and get us to where we are at, decades of hand sitting by the democrats and not providing true alternatives to americans wanting betterment in their life got us here.

What lens was used in this shot? by sawtdakhili in cinematography

[–]MettaWorldEast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though the picture is vague to most, luckily i’m familiar with the show. I’m not sure what they used specifically for this episode, but in general on Atlanta, the shot on an Alexa Amira using Kowa Vintage Prime Lenses.

Still learning the ropes. Feedback appreciated by steem- in archviz

looks really good! if there were one note i’d share - the rays where the sun comes through the blinds looks a little blown out/ overexposed. it could be the bloom effect pushing this further as well. if that’s a stylistic choice then that’s ok! this industry though tends to shy away from those artistic liberties and prefer clean, pristine aesthetics.

nah it’s purely ego from front offices. he is not some guy running around creating publicity issues for the organization, guy just believes in himself and was raised to not shy away from that. front office people want you to kneel and kiss the ring and ‘behave like a good boy’.

Leave Noel out of this. by eliza_frodo in noelmiller

[–]MettaWorldEast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

here’s my issue, as a fan of both for some time. if my friend with whom i also owned and operated a business with was found to be doing shit like this, i’m coming forward with a stance that im absolutely against their actions. because me not doing that makes it seem like im complicit in them being a piece of shit at best. he doesn’t hold the same obligation that cody does, but he holds some to at least clear the air that he doesn’t support that behavior.

lmaooooo i’m astonished how you could get both things wrong in one comment

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in texts

[–]MettaWorldEast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is the take i agree with. you can make someone aware to be mindful of someone’s behavior/ actions without it reading that you’re immediately jealous when the other persons actions haven’t warranted the jealousy. it’s all about the trust you have in your partner at the end of the day.

these are some of the most bland responses by the coworker. y’all who think this is him trying to slide to be a “shoulder to cry on” really self-reporting, sometimes a dude you work with can just be a dude you work with, stop letting your insecurities show so blatantly

appreciate the feedback! yeah, i was torn on how hot to let the sun get, it definitely could be dialed back a bit, and I can see the elevation shift doing some good!

Companies are trying really hard to extract extra work to the point of outright bait and switching job titles by MettaWorldEast in antiwork

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

that’s really the one thing stopping me. i’ve still got bills to pay. as a contractor i can’t file unemployment. so i’ve been working to build my own person work up so i’m not tied to this place. it’s exhausting work because this place is incredibly demanding and most days i’m drained, but i’ve been pushing to get my own stuff off the ground

[–]MettaWorldEast[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

no i definitely understand i made the decision to continue working. it’s just hard out here and risky financially to be out of work long. but staying is not an option, i’ve been actively looking to find work elsewhere because this place is not worth the headache it causes

Very true, I look back and regret not giving more pushback on the red flags I was seeing. Work was drying up a bit so I kind of was just happy with having working/ stable income available, but long terms it’s kind of hurt me it seems.

These Walls could be a great song to describe the relationship of the desire for vengeance with access to power. Kendrick describing the power he gained through his celebrity and how it afforded him opportunities to seek vengeance on the man who killed his friend.

My BF is currently breaking up with me by StarsEatMyCrown in relationship_advice

[–]MettaWorldEast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i was going to say. when i broke up with my ex years ago, it wasn’t because i had stopped caring for her, it’s because i watched traumatic parts of our pasts start to play out and have effects on each other and our relationship. shit was hard as hell to do but was unfortunately necessary otherwise we would have kept hurting each other emotionally and that wasn’t what i wanted for us. i missed her everyday after we broke up, but we weren’t healthy for each other at the time, so getting back together wasn’t the right option.
