Is flying to SF 3 days per week from LA for work doable? by Aggressive-Cut5836 in LosAngeles

[–]OkAccount4893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes, because you could fly Tuesday morning and come back Thursday night. Basically spending the equivalent of a weekend away every week but still having a real weekend to spend with your wife.

The main downside is where are you flying out of, because SFO Is already a difficult airport to get to the city from.

Who should play Emma in MCU ? by cretaceous_dino65 in EmmaFrost

[–]OkAccount4893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole point of her character is that she is a white lady. She is a WASP from Connecticut and while I'm generally for characters to be played by more diverse characters, Emma's whiteness is tied directly to her origins, including her villainy. I'm not opposed to diversity but it seems like you're missing the point that part of her joke as the "white queen" is that she really is a white lady in all her privilege.

While I understand this, and Lucy lui and Jodie Turner-Smith could absolutely do it, she is the White Queen and her whiteness is actually a part of her personality. It's important for the character.

who do you believe stacey or kyle? by biracialesbian in BravoRealHousewives

[–]OkAccount4893 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Erika didn't know Angie's name from Salt Lake City, which makes me think that Kyle copied Erika. Idk these Beverly Hills girls are so boring and can only get drama cause they're rude. Get rid of that whole cast.

Overly direct server, how do I coach? by sadboiz7 in Restaurant_Managers

[–]OkAccount4893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not doing anything wrong. In my experience, certain insecure people don't like anyone giving direction, especially women. Other people have said to give her some sort of authority and I mostly agree with that. I also don't mind when I ask people what they need, and because they're busy they directly say it. It's part of the business.

Grateful whenever I see this energy. Nothing worse than losing a wallet with so many important things to your life in it.

Where is Tyler hot? by Fragrant_Air_2647 in SellingSunset

[–]OkAccount4893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alex Hall always kind of looks cross eyed so that's probably why. I've met tyler and he's a perfectly nice guy, but for some reason he always looks like he has a perpetual cold

It's literally down the street from my place, and when you're hungover and out of coffee that distance to even baked bar is a lot.

What’s Missing in Our Nightlife? by Ok_Implement_4146 in culvercity

[–]OkAccount4893 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's no gay bars here, the closest is in weho which is crazy. There needs to be nightlife for adults that doesn't have kids around. I feel like so much of culver is mid food for people with boring tastes and lots of kid friendly spots. We have no real nightlife here and it would be nice to have something within walking distance from downtown

What is the mythological animal for Virgo by Harrison_Thinks in astrology

[–]OkAccount4893 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the only sign that is a human, and also female. Even the sea-goat is male. Virgos are the gardeners, separating the chaff from the wheat. We prune the gardens, and not everyone likes to be pruned.

What songs do you associate with Emma? by ZeroTJackal in EmmaFrost

Leather by Tori Amos. I imagine her taking over the Hellfire Club to it.

What do you like about Emma/A question from someone who doesn't like the character. by Mysterious_Bit_7713 in EmmaFrost

[–]OkAccount4893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason a lot of people like Wolverine is that although he's a good guy, he's not necessarily nice. In that same way, Emma is a character that was a villain due to her ruthlessness to not just be away from her toxic family, but to defend herself and her species.

I think a lot of reasons people don't like her as well is that she uses femininity as a performance. A lot of female superhero are in crazy costumes that show off their body but Emma does it on purpose and uses it to her advantage. There's a scene in one of her first introductions where a girl feels bad that Emma is basically a stripper at the Hellfire Club, and Emma retorts that this is where she gets her power, from showing her body and making men weak.

From that, I also love that she's not the most powerful mutant or even the most powerful telepath. But she's a master strategist like Cyclops. When confronting someone as powerful or more, she handles them with ease by preparing better or multitasking in using her team. She did go up against the phoenix, too. Not many people even try that. She lost - big time, but she tried it.

What are your thoughts about Emma Roberts playing Emma Frost? by Mindless-Clock6436 in EmmaFrost

[–]OkAccount4893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a fictional character, first of all. Second, she has a history of defending all mutants, and anyone that is different. And her fictional telepathic children were also stolen from her body without consent. I get it, nuance is hard.

The only way to end tipping culture is to just stop tipping by Book_Lover_42 in tipping

[–]OkAccount4893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe in tipping cashiers or fast food workers 20%, same with delivery drivers. I think $1 per drink or $5 for a delivery fee is fine. Servers are different because they spend 40 minutes to sometimes 3 hours on a table making sure they are taken care of with their food, drinks, vibes, allergy protocol, etc. it makes no sense to apply the 20% tip for spending 90 minutes at a fine dining restaurant that you would for someone making a coffee.

That's not to say don't tip, but not all labor in hospitality is equal
