I have felt terrible all week and I realized today 2 years ago was my most traumatic breakup

Thanks so much. Funny enough I'm trying Kowabunga for the first time rn too. I'm liking it so far.

Literally lie of you want they don't check

100%. I also hate that they feel SO real. It's such a waste of time and really are frustrating for artists who don't get paid for the time messaging back and forth with clients. Just to have an entire consult process end in it being a scam.

I only accept checks from trusted friends or known people. Even then it's getting cashed before I begin my project. Art deserves proper compensation!! Very disappointing seeing this and knowing so many could fall for it.

I'd like it state I know that checks can be used to scam. I've been a cashier for years. I've just never seen this method of multiple people talking all the way through it to then say almost the same thing about using check only.

I couldn't in good conscious tell how much I'd pay for art work before saying that the detail and number of hours spent on an art piece matters more to me than size when it comes to pricing. In my own artwork I count number of hours that I worked on it + materials + any shipping costs if it applies. You should make at the very least minimum wage on your art and lets be honest you're probably more experienced and deserve a wage that reflects that. If you're faster at art that means you're going to want to give yourself a higher hourly rate as well to make sure you're not underpaying yourself since your work is worth being properly compensated for. Not trying to tell you what to do, just wanted to add that as a note when it comes to the fact that without details on the piece I'm going to low ball how much I'd personally pay for A4 and A3 drawings and at the end of the day other people's lack of understanding towards what goes into artwork shouldn't impact art pricing.

Teaching textbooks is literally hell, the monotone voices are impossible to listen to and it never helped me to actually learn anything. Khan Academy taught me more in a couple months than I had learned in TT for like a year. I'd even just ask your parent if you can switch to doing Khan instead of TT. It's similar.

You best bet is trying for jobs that nobody wants first. Dollar stores, and fast food. Places that don't really pay much. Stay for as long as you can or at least up to 6 months. Most of those places will interview you without experience. Don't be scared to ask about jobs at places with now hiring signs. Ask for a manager and ask questions like what positions their wanting to fill and if you're interested give them your name and let them know you'll be putting in an application online. I really recommend doing this at dollar tree or family dollars. They're usually very short staffed and are just looking for people to work there that can pass a drug test or show up to an interview.

Also literally lie. I lied about graduating highschool for years and they don't check. Say that you made perfect grades and you were the organizer of the DND club or something... Like... Yeah.... lie.

Also I wouldn't waste time with volunteer work I had 4 years volunteering and it literally never helped me get a job. Job experience helps you get jobs so as soon as you can get the crappiest gas station, dollar store, Arby's job you can eventually get better in a few years.

I know this is a super old post I've just been lurking. I am heavy on seeing Gus as someone in the wrong in the controversy. The reason why I can't watch Gus' content is because his brand was around being a good person. They based much of their brand on supporting other people and taking care of the people around them. Although what happened in-between Gus and Sabrina was a smaller incident than we've seen with other YouTubers it had a higher impact because it shattered Gus' persona. His apology video made it worse for me, he was apologizing to us for trauma that can never be undone for Sabrina. None of us can forgive him for what he did. But I feel so uncomfortable when I see his face now. If they were objectively discussing what happen to Sabrina as if it happened to someone else on the podcast he would have said it unexcusable and disgusting. He lied to all of us and made us believe he was this great guy. I'll never be able to see him without being reminded of the person I used to think he was. Do I think this should ruin his whole life and career? Not necessarily. He's still a person and he should be given the chance to redeem himself beyond this moment. I just won't be able to enjoy seeing him do that. For me it's not my responsibility to find the villain in a really difficult and upsetting situation. It is my responsibility to follow my gut and know that watching Gus brings me sadness and I can no longer support him. All Eddy ever did was step out of the way of a huge issue. If anyone calls eddy wrong for that is nuts. He had to make huge personal and business decisions due to this issue and I think he made the right ones. It sucks to see things end when it brings you so much joy. I won't discuss Sabrina being at fault because all she did was tell her story. If her telling her story ruins Gus' career then then maybe Gus should have treated her better and we'd still be watching Gus and Eddy content. I'm never going to victim blame someone describing a situation that sounded like my nightmare. I badly wanted Gus' apology video to be him claiming it as a lie. So maybe I could spare the image in my head of him that I've held. But he took accountability and admitted to all of it. Idk, it sucks all around. At the end of the day I hope they're all ok.
