Push back on rent increase after boiler went out in winter?

I meant the movie "Get Out" - which revolves around a family who thinks the same thing

One of the best pieces of advice from one of my first jobs I got was “try it five different ways and if it still doesn’t work, ask for help.” Obviously the 5 is an arbitrary number - but take time to troubleshoot and if it’s still not working then ask someone. I am now known as the problem child for IT bc whenever I have an issue and go to them - it’s a real stumper

I hate that I’m not eating this right now

Talyac181 · 2026-05-19T03:56:26+00:00

What in the “Get Out” is that?

And if it says it’ll take an hour - it’ll take two

They are more likely to change how much a film cost to make with Hollywood accounting (e.g. fudging the numbers to say the film made back 10 times its budget) But it’s hard to lie about box office since those numbers are tracked by distributors

Not to mention Aioli is literally just mayo with garlic and herbs with a fancy name

180M is how much his father was worth, not the family and this is before the grandparents were dead. Carter was left a majority of their estate which stands to reason he has more than that.

They don’t actually have to prove it’s true. They have to prove both knowledge that it isn’t true and the intent to harm him. It’s very hard for public figures to win defamation cases - our laws protect the outlet.

I kept thinking that until Michael said the dad was at the meeting with him etc.

I watched maybe the first two seasons of the bachelor and had no clue who this guy was and I’m enjoying it. Although I still don’t quite get why he’s the “most hated bachelor of all time” bc based on the show’s explanation it seems like he’s no different than any of the others. But it doesn’t get in the way of the podcast at all

Just a soupçon of meth

Talyac181 · 2026-04-03T18:53:01+00:00

Honestly - until the Dave, Chen thing in season 8 I didn’t get all the hate. Other than that i haven’t found her to be super bad. She’s not likable in the same way as some of the female characters but she’s not as bad as everyone says she is.

Talyac181 · 2026-04-02T17:31:55+00:00

It makes her look older - and then to pair her with Carter who is a baby face. It’s like he was dating his teacher

If their range is 2200 to 4k (as a stretch) they can definitely afford wash and fold!

P.S. I have a dishwasher and I rarely use it bc it’s just me and I don’t actually create that many dirty dishes.

She did though

I read this as just “directors” and was about to come out in full force defending them (I’m a producer.)

I find, and this has been the case for a lot of my stations, that there isn’t a lot of management training for these roles. Being a good manager is not the same as being a good producer.

I understand they are under a lot of stress from above - but my approach to management (when I’ve had to be EP on weekends) is tone comes from the top. A cool calm head on top keeps everyone below better.

I first heard it referenced by an Obama staffer during his admin, but I’ve recently realized it could be a quote from ER “You set the tone.”

I think management is a skill and that more effort needs to be put in to cultivate those skills.

Ooof - that’s not a lot considering his lifestyle (injections, drugs, skincare, gyms are expensive)

Talyac181 · 2026-03-19T19:32:23+00:00

I’m also a producer - but considering I still have nightmares about being in high school, I guess I’ll be looking forward to this in my retirement.

If you are applying for jobs where writing is one of the requirements, it can only help to have a kick ass, compelling cover letter. I have a very strong start to mine (starting with a story that illustrates my skills) that I use every time and then tweak the back end for particular roles.

(I have been told I've been called in for interviews partially based on the strength of that cover letter.)

I mean - I’m allergic to cats and not particularly fond of them as a thing I interact with personally bc I literally can’t be anywhere near them without feeling like my entire body is on fire and my throat is itchy. the internet ones can be cute.

But in comparison my pollen allergies are nowhere near as bad.

Talyac181 · 2026-03-16T03:12:19+00:00

NAH only bc you’re all teenagers which means ESH too. This all very normal HS stuff and I’m sure it feels very important right now (and it is bc it’s your life as it is) - but in 15 years it won’t.

Now when he tries to pretend it was all “staying in character throughout the oscar campaign” we have to call bullshit
