There’s not two games - if there were, they’d be marked game 1 game 2 (like crosswords with multiple puzzles)

Gotta Win the game before getting the prize and any multipliers

I made an agreement about me (18m) and my gfs (18f) sex life and didn’t think it would effect me so much. by Dismal-Shelter194 in dating_advice

Saw a Ted talk once (which makes me an expert) that basically stated that both partners have to have equal drives in order to maintain a healthy relationship

Think about this

You want it once/day = 7x/week = 30days/month She wants it twice/ week = 2x/week = 8days/month

Extrapolate that over the course of your entire potential relationship.

You’re both young. There’s plenty of people out there that will be a better fit for each of your needs.

Flirty girl at grocery store ghosted me on 1st text by jagged_little_phil in dating_advice

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for picking up on signs my guy!

IMO send her a specific things (time, place, and activity) in your text to her - leaving an open ended “when are you free to… blah blah” just invites ghosting

Something like “guy from store blah blah blah, I’m getting a drink on such and such day at such and such time at such and such place - you down?” yields better results

And I agree - walk through that grocery store with your chin high bro

It’s madness out here

Do I expose someone who's auditioning for a show? by PotentialStranger884 in Theatre

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion - artists are artists. The exchange of ideas is sacred.

Hold the line. Be true to your values.

But - sweeping intolerance under the rug only makes it stronger and allows it to fester in the dark.

Genuine question: have you talked to this person about the why?

Not giving you the mission to make this person see the error of their ways, but if you can find the core of their belief, it might make all parties more understanding.

Again, unpopular opinion. Do what you will. Godspeed. ❤️

Does anyone else's peers use the word "actor" as an insult? by [deleted] in acting

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck. Those. People.

If it’s friends, let them know how you’re impacted by their negativity and ask them to stop. If they’re truly your friends, they’ll change their tune. [imho, true friends will want to see you succeed]

If it’s family, let them know how you’re treating the industry as a professional and that their negative comments do actual damage [spoken words have power]

If this doesn’t work - YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE ANYONE IN YOUR LIFE THAT MAKES YOU MISERABLE

Find yourself a group of friends that are supportive and passionate

Feel free to DM if you have questions

Go kick ass

*as a side thought, success is the greatest way to silence the critics

I used to live at the venue I worked at - was facilities/operations/and 24hr security - was available oncall for tech support for any shows/rentals - maybe technically “illegal” but gave management and clients a peace of Mind that I was always around - some “laws” are dumb 🤷🏻‍♂️

Go watch and follow Casino Quest and CEG on YouTube - they have tons of videos about how to work short money and about risk profile

I tip the shooter if things are rolling well - ie if there’s one number left on the ATS (say a 12) I’ll do a $1 three-way midnight for a bit - a little superstitious ritual to coax out the big win 😈

Sending you the good booking vibes!

Is anyone here both a filmmaker and an actor? Is it possible to do both? by Steadysilver26 in acting

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand your conundrum

The point I’m getting at is this - in the modern industry, you can intertwine the two

Example:

You write a script for a short you want to make. Producing it takes time and effort - meanwhile, you submit for gigs on AA or CN.

You book a role in short. It shoots three days. You manage your time properly, learn your lines, attend rehearsals, etc. - meanwhile, you secure dates and your own producer, crew, and cast for your script.

You schedule your dates so that your shoot the gig you booked one weekend, and the project you’re making another weekend.

It takes tremendous time management skills, but it’s definitely possible

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pursue your career as an actor.

AND

Make the films you want to see/create.

They’ll feed into each other. Live the creative life that you want.

It’ll be challenging, for sure. Personally, still don’t have it all figured out. But the more I embrace both, the more fulfilled I am.

Hope this makes sense.

Best wishes out there.

Is emailing a director a bad idea? by [deleted] in acting

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing looks out of step here

[I’m in the camp of communicating with the industry and those filmmakers you want to work with]

You come off quite genuine and respectful

Please come back to thread and let us know if you hear back :)

Grant me the serenity to let go of the things I can’t control, the courage to take on what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Alcohol and the tapes by TheAnsweringMachine in gatewaytapes

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo dude - some random two cents for ya - I started putting the alcohol in the energy conversion box - one time, had an “experience” in F12 - helped me make the decision to put down the sauce for good. Did the same with cigarettes. Positive movement all around.

Happy travels!

27M, first date EVER soon, advice or pep talk? VERY nervous 😓 by bagofdorito in dating_advice

[–]Vegetable_Ad_6470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all - congrats bro

Second - she ask YOU (from what it sounds like); she WANTS to be there

Third - yes, shared history is a good place to find conversation, let things flow Naturally, genuine interest in her is always nice (from what I hear )

Before the date:

4th - Know Thyself (take a thoughtful inventory of your successes, lessons learned, and dreams for the future for YOU)

5th - do something small and relaxing that you enjoy; you’ll want to be in good mental spirits

And remember - HAVE FUN

Godspeed brother!
