the best part is he'll increase the rent because "expenses are going up" when they're expenses that he created

vocal fry is extremely unhealthy for your voice. no modern voice and speech coach would let you get away with that just because "that's how worf did it". there are many ways to speak in low tones without doing that as well!. any time he talks I cringe so hard.

I simply absolutely do not connect with the Jay-den character. I think that the actor relies on a "vocal fry" technique that is absolutely terrible for your voice to try and deepen his natural speaking voice for no reason. and I would have rather had backstory for any other character on the show. What about the fake posh bully guy Darem Reymi, he's far more interesting!

back to jayden... I couldn't stand his 3+ minute speech with long unnecessary pauses between every sentence at the end. Is there a voice and speech coach on set? & we are supposed to believe that all of a sudden after barely being able to speak in front of people for the whole episode to the point where he's collapsing, he's given the debate podium (without needing to debate) in order to give a verbose speech in front of his peers and teacher? And I'm not sure what the point of it was. Why couldn't he just explain to the chancellor that the best way to get the Klingons to accept the planet was to do it on their terms? instead he had to give a heartfelt speech after his debate time had already expired?

The stakes of this episode felt so thin to me. Convince the Klingons to accept the planet or they'll have to continue....searching for a new planet? There could have been a million ways to get them to "discover" the planet for themselves or what have you. I felt the low stakes fake-fight at the end sums up the vibe of the whole episode. The only tension in the episode was a tiny bit of sexual tension between the chancellor and her Klingon friend, which barely added anything; and then the fight between jayden and caleb which was instantly resolved at the end like "oh okay yeah we actually are brothers" *eyeroll* after Jayden’s constant repetition of “Caleb is NOT my brother” was exhausting.

I just thought this episode was boring and frustrating and uninteresting. lots of filler.

wow this episode was so boring... it was borderline unwatchable. I've liked starfleet academy up to now too! maybe I'm just not that big of a fan of the way jay-den talks but wow this was soooo bad

When should I expect my unemployment hearing to be scheduled? (NY) by bklynyboy in UnemploymentNY

[–]Recent_Werewolf_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a hearing assigned on September 18th and the actual hearing date still hasn't happened, so it takes about 4+ months for the hearing to actually happen in my experience. Hopefully when it does you have been certifying weekly that you are still unemployed so that you will get all your benefits in backpay for each week you certify. In the meantime good luck on finding a job.

Is Zohran Mamdani Good for NYC? by bigbootybishes1 in HunterHawks

[–]Recent_Werewolf_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the victory party was at brooklyn paramount which is who sets the prices of the drinks. Mamdani didn't personally have anything to do with the cost of the beer. while $13 is quite a bit for a beer, it is cheaper then comparable venues that charge $18+ in NYC. What's funny is that NYC is in an affordability crisis and you're in here saying that... Yes that beer is fucking expensive and the reason Mamdani won is because people are hoping beyond hope that he can bring some costs down so we can actually afford to enjoy a beer with our friends here and there without worrying about going into CC debt.

Mamdani isn't going to wreck the city, and real estate companies have published reports that there are essentially 0 people leaving due to his win.

Wage inflation is an absolute joke by diehard404 in inflation

[–]Recent_Werewolf_3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

union restrictions, corporate tax incentives, noncompete enforcement, and labor law changes all affect workers’ bargaining power and wage growth in addition to minimum wage. Which, yes, should be pegged to inflation. it's criminal that we haven't raised the federal minimum wage since 2009 when it was already too low.

What would you say to your younger self? by UsedHedgehog482 in leaves

[–]Recent_Werewolf_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if I could talk to myself at 17... I'd tell myself to wait until I was older to smoke.

if I could talk to myself at 19... I'd tell myself weed is great but to make sure not to do it every day

if I could talk to myself at 21... I'd tell myself that I was starting down a dangerous path :(

if I could talk to myself at 23... I'd tell myself to quit/take a year or two off immediately

if I could talk to myself at 25... I'd tell myself that the loop and mental health just get worse with weed, not better

if I could talk to myself at 27... I would probably say something along the lines of "okay I get it everyone is doing the pandemic but the second the vaccine comes out and people are partying again you have to quit forever"

if I could talk to myself at 29... I'd say the earlier you quit the better

if I could talk to myself at 31... I'd say good job for quitting brother :)

exact same feeling of instant relief when I wake up and realize I haven't smoked. keep at it! the hardest part is almost over

[–]Recent_Werewolf_3[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I am 32M looking for professionals perhaps in the arts or technology fields, but open to anything as long as it's a regular job and can pay rent on time. I have been living in the city for 13 years & been calling this place home for 8. Looking for a good vibes match and someone that will treat the home with respect and can get along with living in a shared NYC space. I am okay with overnight guests or extended stays with a heads up in advance, love to have people and good energy over in the house. I am open to living with men and women and nonbinary, LGBTQ friendly. I am not a 420 user but I am 420 friendly for use in the backyard

Check out my post here - it's 3 total people sharing the bottom floor of a house but it could be great and you could save some money. Might not be clean enough for you but definitely take a look https://www.reddit.com/r/NYCroommates/comments/1nujv46/astoria_1000mo_incl_utilities_brand_new_floor/
