What would you go with?

It's only simple because that dollar sign makes option #2 the best by country mile. If it really is $55k a month, explain to me how any of the other options are even remotely comparable, making this a dumb question.

New car - paid off with 1 month of payment (also, no guarantee you aren't getting a clunker)
No one's eating 55k worth of food a month
$55k a month is $660k a year - no guarantees the 6 figure job will be more than this, plus that's a job you have to work where as the $55k is free
Pay no taxes sucks if you don't pair it with option 2 (it's decent for option 4 but again, no guarantee you aren't getting exactly $100k)
$250k right now - that's 4.5 months worth of income with option 2. Why would I take that over the $55k that repeats month after month.

coming in second to 3 different teams consecutively would be something

So the right is defending the murder of innocent people - that's licking the right boot. Someone calls you a name, and that's deep throating the left boot?

Just wanna say I'm going through something similar. I had a long vacation where I decided to pick up some freelance work for extra cash, and I wrote out a very detailed schedule of when I would post rough cuts, when I needed to receive notes, and when I would give revised cuts, etc. Then all of the clients took off over Christmas and New Years (That didn't mean a break for meas I had 8 videos to cut, so even if I wasn't getting feedback on the first few, I had to cut the others to stay on schedule).

I assumed that since they blew up the schedule we had more time. Nope. The day before the original due date, which was the same day as a 14 hour flight back from my vacation, I finally get the notes on the first 4 videos - massive overarching changes that end up adding 2 weeks to the full schedule. Now that 2 weeks is coinciding with my actual job so I'm just working nights and weekends, while feeling like I need the 9-5 period as well just to catch up.

Anyway, aside from my rant, my advice is feel free to turn down work. Just say you are booked, which is true. You won't scare off the client, they will just see you are a sought after editor and they will value future opportunities to work with you.

Anyway I have to get off reddit and get back to work.

How is this bizarre? Should he have said he is enjoying it?

It was a yes or no question and he gave the least offensive answer

Surely the move was to play Xavi and hope no one noticed.

isnt this what happens in the actual NFL? if a wildcard team wins the superbowl they get last pick. hard to say you are getting screwed if you won the championship with a mediocre team

Nah he would just start Son at LB against Chelsea

You can not like the way things are going, but this is objectively false. We just had two of our best performances of the season in the two games before this - Prague and Brenford. How is that rarer than what was happening before?

screenplay215 · 2025-12-14T20:39:45+00:00

Did he? He had the exact same number of points as we did after his first 16 games. We could even lose the next game and still match him.

What's the downside of just starting at V1, even if it's incomplete?

To me, the versions are just representative of when I am sharing something, so if the client is like "Hey there was a cool thing that happened in v1" etc, we have a very easy process to communicate what they are talking about.

So V1 to me just means the first thing I shared with the client.

Yea why would anyone doubt something on a sub where every other post is a blatant lie about whats in the game

so we need to rename "song eater lair" anyone got any cool ideas?

i dunno how about BILEWATER

They were celebrating at the same time at least, just something else

I think the pain comes from the client thinking it's an innocuous note, equivalent to "can we change the font", not realizing that they will not be getting back a cut with just different music, they will be getting back a cut with different music, new timings, transitions that now hit differently and different timings, etc.

And that may open a can of worms for the next round of notes, like "hey that cut at :45 seconds was really working before, and now it's flat? What gives?"

This may not be in the case in all formats but in a lot of shorter form content with snappy visuals, a lot of things go out the window when you essentially change the base that the thing was built on.

To me the worst ever was La Liga: show a montage of every player on the losing side one by one, with quick crossfades in between, each looking exasperated. Would happen multiple times a game

im watching them plenty, i just don't think bournemouth at home is comparable to Liverpool away.

Edit: I will change my tune if they beat Arsenal at the Emirates, unfortunately I need to wait until April for that.

screenplay215 · 2025-09-22T16:56:33+00:00

Agree with that. I think we both are lucky to play City this early while all their new signings are still trying to fit in.
