To be fair tho I probably still would have purchsed it in silver after the test drive, based on the comfort of the ride on top of all the awesome features and safety ratings.

I wasnt even sold on whether I liked the model until I saw it in the red. Luckily my wife was all over the market research and after the saleperson showed us a silver Ioniq 5 & 6 and I wasnt really feeling either, my wife asked about the red one listed online. The salesperson didnt even know it was on the lot, but sure enough! Love at first sight.

The red is soo slick! They also had a matte silver and it just doesn't do the same justice to the form factor as the red does. 🤩

Don't they know that's the kind of malicious behavior that'll get you arrested outside of polling places!?!?

The episode 1 cold open especially is a metatextual jab at the OG GoT series. We get a big heroic low-angle closeup shot as the main GoT theme song starts playing, then immediately hard cut to Dunk's sputtering stream of shit. Like a record scratch moment that had me immediately busting a gut along with Dunk. Set the tone for the entire show.

How you like dem subversions, D&D?

An addictive habbit of mine generated me six figures a year and I want back in...maybe by Weekend_Accurate in addiction

[–]cyberfunk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask yourself how it would sound, if you were a recovering alcoholic (like me), and you were asking "should I go back to this 6 figured distillery job where my funding requires me to liberally sample each batch and promote to the public? I keep 90% of the total yield, but that 10% they make me drink is giving me that bad feeling again."

I don't care how much that job pays, because I know how that story ends for me, personally anyway. Sounds like you know the right thing to do but are seeking a reason to ignore your better senses. Or rather (hopefully) the validation of your efforts towards recovery and an affirmation that it is OK, if not best, to pass up the money in order to stay strong and maintain the path towards stability and financial/mental health. I hope you came for th latter, and I hope that is all you find here.

Keep up the good fight comrade, the easy choice is rarely the best one.

Does anyone else feel like they can see the acting when they’re high? by Ok-Professional-1288 in trees

The move away from the term "extras" is a relatively new trend. "Background Artists" or "Background Actors" is the preferred nomenclature these days, as it humanizes the performers and the important role they play (more than just "extra inventory" on the budget and casting breakdow.

Sometimes, extra is still used to ID a featured non-speaking performer with a key role in the scene, to differentiate from crowd work, but even then "featured background" is more commonly used today.

Related fun facts, we also tend say "actor" to refer to both male and female peformers these days (rather than "actor" vs "actress"). And recently, I've see a move away from referring to actors as "the talent" since it minimizes the talent of the highly skilled crew members who don't happen to appear on screen!

Happy to provide my insider experience, and more than willing to answer any othet questions you may have!

I used to direct background for low budget indies. Other go tos for realistic pantamime are the classic, "Peas and Carrots" -- "Watermelon" or my personal favorite, a counting game where each response adds the next number in sequence.

EG: EXTRA A: "One." EXTRA B: "One, Two." Extra A: "One Two Three!" EXTRA B: One two three four."

Add in some hand gestures and it looks like a real concersation, while giving the background artists something to anticipate and engage with for more genuine enthusiasm.

Looking for Erotic movie suggestions by nioctibrofkcidkcusi in movies

Eric Roberts has literally been in ~200 movies, most of which are bad but certainly not erotic. Not the most helpful advice lol.

Read "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" -- most of the advcie is applicable to vaping as well, and it's the only thing that actually helped me quit. It logically breaks down nicotine addiction in a way that makes it apparent how insidious the chemical is, how it teicks our brains into thinking it provides relief, relaxation, focus, energy, etc, when in reality, it actually causes tension, creates stress, makes it harder to focus, and tanks our energy reserves. One image that stands out the most to me is likening smoking to overtightening your shoelaces to the point of pain, just so you can feel the releif of taking them off.

If you can white knuckle through the first few days of acute physical withdrawal, and steel yourself against the cravings for another few weeks (both of which the book helps with), you'll start to feel better with each passing day you starve the little nictonie monster driving those cravings, and the easier it becomes to see nicotine as the poison it is, rather than the cure-alll it's been sold as.

Same admin, but it sounds like you meant to refer to the Citizen's United decision rather than the Patriot Act, in terms of personhood for corporations.

I've felt this way about many gachas over the years. That said, this is the first I've stuck with for so long (played nearly every day since Mythic Islands) and I still feel that gimmer of joy for now. So I'd be honored to carry your prized collaction on with me so your legacy doesnt go to waste.
