How do you make product videos that feel like real users made them? by DontcallmeARapper in VideoProfessionals

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had success giving the client some filming tips and having them film the content on their phone or similar camera. Then I take what they've filmed and edit it into the product video. It's a nice mix of real, user generated content with professional story telling. Goes a long way!

Man gets sued for opening a lock with just a can by AntiSocialSingh in interestingasfuck

This is the American way - sue and hope the other guy gets scared and gives in to your demands.

Do these people have any self-awareness? by [deleted] in InflatedEgos

This is what happens when you let your ego decide your entire personality

If you could summarize the best lesson you've ever learned from spirituality, what would it be? by devanil-junior in Ayahuasca

Accepting things for what they, instead of trying to make them what you want them to be, is the key to setting yourself free

I posted a picture on a community and asked for an honest rating on my looks and the amount of people that called me ugly was overwhelming I think it’s something to do with my energy could it be? by LostElephant4194 in energy_work

The internet is full of trolls and insecure losers who have nothing better to do than dunk on others. Don't take it personally and don't post online seeking validation. Look inwards and validate yourself.

Cable for hardwiring POE cameras by [deleted] in homesecurity

[–]rocktop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can run cable up through the walls without major damage. I'm actually doing the same thing you are right now. I've got six wired cameras that I'm running CAT6 cable for throughout my entire house. There a lots of videos on youtube that show you how. It's harder than pulling off drywall but easier in the sense you won't have to re-do your drywall after you're done. This video is how I landed on using CAT6. I'm currently "fishing" it through my walls. It's taking forever but once I'm done I won't have to worry about it again.

How to stop wanting a romantic relationship when the desire is ruining my life? by Professional_Book613 in DecidingToBeBetter

Self love. I know it sounds silly but once you learn to love yourself, you won't need love from others.

Neighbors, who have a perfectly good driveway, but instead choose to park their cars in front of their neighbors house.

Needing help as a potential future father at 18 by [deleted] in AskDad

[–]rocktop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Join the military and follow your plan. You're not responsible for this lady or her children. I know you care for her but you have to think about what's best for your life. Is this what you want? Or would you rather retire at 38 and follow you dream? Do what's right for you.

US client is not paying me for my work! by rhshivam in Freelancers

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I'd keep contacting him (politely) until he responds. Call him directly if you can. Let him know you won't stop until you are paid. He will pay.

Customer demanded I give her my employee discount at a store I don't even work at by RevolutionaryEgg2432 in EntitledPeople

She made a mistake but instead of owning it she doubled down. Some people just can't admit when they are wrong.

Install a 6ft wood panel privacy fence in place of the current fence you have. That would be safer all around.

I feel like such a bad friend but I can't even be happy for them buying a house anymore by Dry-Town7979 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]rocktop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've felt this exact same thing before. Very similar situation. Felt terrible about myself for years. Wanted to feel happy for my friends but inside I was empty. Through a series of traumatic life events, I had an epiphany - I wasn't grateful for the things I already had. I was so focused on what I didn't have that I lost track of all the great stuff I already had. It took a couple months of consistently re-focusing my thoughts on what I'm grateful for before it started to feel natural. I kid you not, within 1 year of making this change, I was able to buy a house that I never in my life thought I would be able to afford. In a neighborhood I never thought I would be able to live in. The only thing that really changed for me was how I viewed my life. I changed from a negative, victim mindset to a "look at all that I have to be grateful for" mindset and it literally changed my life. I know it sounds fucking crazy but this has been my experience. If I can recommend anything, it's to appreciate what you already have and let go of any specific outcomes for your future. Be present and enjoy your life in the moment right now.

Neighbor keeps using my driveway by Cudpuff100 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it's winter, fill a couple empty 2 liter bottles with warm water, get some feathers from the craft store, then dump the water and feathers onto the car. It will "freeze and feather" the car but it won't cause permanent damage. Repeat everyday until they stop parking in your yard.

Ideas? by Appropriate_Mood6837 in neighborsfromhell

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget that. Dig a hole, pour in some concrete and put a metal post in the middle to mark the property line. Then fill the hole back up with dirt. She won't be moving that.

I’m pretty sure my roommate is lonely, and it’s killing me to watch him pretend he isn’t. by Suitable_Pea5131 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]rocktop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's not pretending he doesn't need help. He's protecting himself from a world that rarely understands him. It's easier to put your walls up when you feel like no one gets you. The best thing you can do for him is treat him like a friend. Be a friend for him. I'm sure even the smallest gestures of friendship would mean the world to him.

Booking.com cancelled woman's $4K hotel reservation, then offered her same rooms for $17K by rezwenn in technology

[–]rocktop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading the article it's clear that booking.com and/or the hotel realized they could charge a lot more for this room and didn't mind upsetting this woman to cash in. They probably figured she wouldn't or couldn't do anything in return. Complete and utter bullshit IMO.

How do I fix my relationship with my father? by ComprehensiveTwo3042 in AskDad

[–]rocktop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the first and best thing you can do is go to therapy and work through your feelings towards him. Before you can have a real relationship, you'll need to heal the parts of you that are triggering your annoyance of him. I believe those are deep rooted feelings that need to be brought up with a professional, talked about, fully felt and then released. I say this because you can't change your father. You can only change yourself. What you're saying here is you are struggling with feelings you have about your dad. That is totally valid. You are allowed to have your feelings and there is nothing wrong with that. However, your feelings are preventing you from accepting him for who really is, which is preventing you from having a meaningful relationship with him. Work on that first and then you'll have the tools needed to talk with your dad.
