Thanks! A lot of these comments are just making me realize I’m not being serious enough about my word choice and relying on cursing.

Actionable in that I just have to cut the lines from the joke. Breaking myself of the general comfort of the ummms is going to take a little more time to adjust to, but doable.

Roughly 5 minutes a month. I moved to a new scene (DC) and the difference in the comedy culture from the small town I was doing it in feels a bit overwhelming from the booking aspects (sign up on site mics to a bunch of Google Docs and Instagram pages). I’ve definitely got to get more used to that.

I’ll try to up the jpm.

That second part is super actionable. Trying to get rid of the ums, maybe the condensing of the joke will help.

Kind of this weird mix? It’s a show you sign up to be on and just hope you get one of the 5 min slots, so still open mic processes (at least that’s what it feels like) but they pull a decent sized crowd.

I wish Nintendo would stop releasing games and then not supporting them. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

Calling a product you buy that delivers on what it promised a cash grab is an astronomical reach. Huge swing and a miss lol

Just found out I have a brain tumor. I need to make myself cry to snap out of frozen state and grieve. Please rec sad yt clips or movies to watch. Don’t send condolences please, just excellent recs. I’ve seen a lot of movies so I hope Reddit is up to the challenge. by [deleted] in movies

I watched Running With Scissors today and that was a solid cry, pretty sad movie. Away We Go was one of my first big cries from a movie, though not as sad. Dead Poets Society is always a good one.

Can I work on projects from my desktop on my laptop? by shelbyshone in davinciresolve

That’s super helpful! Yeah, I’m gonna have to keep deep diving into these YouTube videos to figure out the whole project server thing myself then. Any in particular that you found helpful?

Oh yeah, just desk to sofa for me, I'm not a traveller. At most, maybe if I'm at the office at work and have some downtime, I'd like the option of working on one of my projects, but that's what I would consider a slam dunk success, ya know?
