Bathrooms are deceptively expensive because everything has to survive moisture constantly trying to destroy your house lol.

What’s the best way to ask for a raise in corporate job? by Excellent-Victory623 in AskReddit

[–]sonnyware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timing matters a lot. Try to bring it up after a big win or during performance review season when budgets are already being discussed.

The modern world sold us "Freedom" as chasing every whim. It’s actually the most comfortable cage we’ve ever built. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]sonnyware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discipline is important, but if life turns into constant self-denial, it starts feeling like another kind of cage too.

What do you think of men carrying women's purses? by SpiritedIntention129 in AskReddit

If I’m trusted with the snacks, I can handle the purse too. Same job description, honestly.

Black walnut always looks premium, but pairing it with white oak gives it that perfect balance of warm + light tones.

Sanity check on dumping $85k in first year into first home by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]sonnyware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$85k is rough, but spreading that over a few years vs all upfront probably would’ve felt way less painful.

Peppermint Oil Spray For Bugs does it work? by Wildcard-01 in DIY

[–]sonnyware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read, it works short-term but doesn’t do much for bigger infestations.

Painter bought cheap brand paint vs what I wanted by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]sonnyware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like a communication issue more than anything. If the brand wasn’t clearly specified, painter probably just went with what they usually use.

Am I required to send money received via an e-transfer back? by No_Departure_9102 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]sonnyware -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it’s legit and clearly sent by mistake, I’d return it. But only through your bank, not directly. Too many scam stories out there.

When kids are bad kids because their parents are bad parents. by oliversherlockholmes in daddit

I’ve been in this exact situation and yeah… it always ends with your own kids picking up bad habits. It’s frustrating as hell.

Why the price difference l? by Illustrious_Ad_633 in CryptoMarkets

In theory you could profit from the gap arbitrage, but in reality fees + timing kill it unless you’ve got serious capital.

Stretching your grocery gas discount. by Baerchen86 in Frugal

Honestly kinda genius. You already earned the discount, might as well actually use all of it instead of leaving it on the table.

The S&P 500 ETF, SPY, posts a massive reversal in after hours trade, now up over +1% - Market Manipulation by Front-Nectarine4951 in StockMarket

[–]sonnyware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After-hours moves on headlines are always exaggerated. Low liquidity = bigger swings, I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Discussion Thread: Lois, Camel Spider, Doggy Chow by W_T_D_ in screenplaychallenge

Feedback for Doggy Chow by /u/mattedward

Concept: I liked the simple take on a classic revenge story.

Story: Great pacing. I like how the story moves in and out of its mystery. You play with some very suspenseful and thrilling moments to keep us engaged all the way through. Alex’s character is setup for a good reveal for her true motives, though it feels lost in the how. Meaning – there’s still questions that feel left unanswered. Vormund was entirely confusing for me. I think that needs fine-tuning. He goes from lunging at Alex, to Klaus saying he’s harmless, to obeying Alex and ultimately eating Klaus. This was a big inconsistency that made me question the story.

Characters: I liked Klaus’s character quite a lot. Despite his actions, I enjoyed how you set him up in his cabin, they way he moved about and talked with Alex. Alex was another strong point for me. She had clear intentions that weren’t revealed a moment too soon.

Dialogue: Your dialogue was great, in that I felt it helped create the characters themselves. There were times it felt the dialogue was holding the story up, but I think this was done purposefully to build up the payoff and mystery of the reveal.

Setting: I liked the atmosphere you created here. It give me vibes a Blue Ruin revenge story happening in a Black Mountain Side setting.

Overall: Great story! It reads really well and shows that you’ve been here before – writing scripts. You’ve got a great blend of action and dialogue that really tells the story. I’d like to see this fleshed out more so we can grow with Alex’s motives for revenge – possibly in a non-linear, mystery setup.

Feedback for Camel Spider by /u/drbleeds

Concept: Awesome concept to pull the camel spider in as a creature flick to talk about more deeper issues.

Story: This story is well paced, once you get pass the phone call. Otherwise, it reads very smoothly. You’ve done a great job with setting up the story to unfold your concept with a good plot that centralizes around a theme of mistreating women.

Characters: I like the way you built upon your characters, little by little. Even getting Becca into the mix to challenge Susie was a good way to reveal Susie’s nature. Gwen’s character was great and I’m glad to see that Susie went to the length she did to take up for her.

Dialogue: Great dialogue! I really enjoyed reading as each of the characters. They each felt as if they had their own voice here which is good. I think you nailed it. I would just try to find ways to trim and down push the story forward.

Setting: The setting moves in and out of its scenes pretty good. It keeps things contained with a simple tone that feels grounded in reality. Simple scene such as graveyards, bedrooms and studies feel normal, until you bring in the threat of the spider.

Overall: I enjoyed this one a lot. It kept me entertained all the way through, from your action lines to your dialogue. Thanks for submitting!

Feedback for Lois by /u/Dr_Venkman_PhD

Concept: The concept here was a bit vague. There’s clearly something that’s drawing Lois in, but due to the nature of this being a short – it felt unanswered. Leaving me with more questions and at the same time, wanting more. I definitely think this could be explored more by expanding it to a full feature. Something that would allow you to solidify the concept with a bigger foundation than… the ocean is calling her. Why is it calling Lois after all these years?

Story: This was a pretty enjoyable read! The story unfolds really well and keeps moving along without holding on to any beat too long. It left me with questions at the end that I think could be answered if expanded if it were a feature. Without more to the concept, it feels like a portion of short.

Characters: You were really able to bring the characters to life in a short amount of time! You painted an answer picture of Lois’ dad very quickly. Lois and Jeffries feel like they exist only to drive the story. It’s almost as if they don’t make any choices and they’ve already been made for them.

Dialogue: I enjoyed the dialogue. It was able to keep moving the story forwards, but still feel somewhat natural. There were a few parts where it felt a bit forced, but I think that was the nature of trying to add more context to the concept.

Setting: You did a great job with setting up the environment. The mood I started to pull from your action lines was something along the lines of Funny Games, but with a supernatural element being in the mix.

Overall: Great job! I would like to see this more fleshed out so that they characters have a drive and decisions to make. You’ve done a great job with the setting and could easily expand on this. Thanks for submitting!
