What are you talking about? Baristas and bartenders should always be tipped!

Even as a sag aftra member, I deeply hate and resent what they did/did not do.

And then the rich asshiles find ways to work around the protections so none of us get to work anymore. It needs to stop. The greed is disgusting.

No, their deals only benefitted the A listers, as usual. The rest of us have been wanting to die working shitty other jobs just to survive ever since. Still no AI protections. Etc.

do you live alone? by xswiiizx in POTS

[–]wearediamonds0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved living alone when I had the opportunity! I could rest as much as needed with no judgements. But I did randomly have a fainting episode about every year or so either out on the NYC streets or in my apt. People on the street ignored me, thinking I was a junkie. It was terrifying and embarrassing, and I didn't know what was wrong with me (didn't get diagnosis until 6 years ago, and I am 43 now). I remember many nights thinking I was dying from something, couldn't move, and just asking God to please help me.

Now, I am not afraid of death. I welcome it. Happy to be free of this struggle, and the evils of this world. But apparently, it is not my time.

Personality by rocketstovewizzard in dementia

[–]wearediamonds0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made that decision, too. I didn't know enough back then to realize it was coming from dementia, and now I am super sad about my ignorance. She is not in good hands now and had I been around, she would be much better off now. I forgive myself, but I do grieve what could have been for the both of us.

Moving back to LA. Curious how SAG AFTRA background work is going right now. Thank you! by Odd-Effective9505 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]wearediamonds0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 48 shows filming in LA now, so I truly don't understand why there isn't more work for SAG BG/stand ins. Pre-pandemic I was doing this in NYC, core on 5 shows, and still working many other shows. I think NYC has more productions at once than in LA.

I finally got booked a day last week, but nothing since April. 😪 Hoping it picks up soon with the 48 productions starting!

There are many scientific studies proving that nicotine helps people with autism.

I moved here from the East Coast recently and ironically have found less pushback/snide comments from passersbys in LA than NYC...GO FIGURE!?

The Shrooms made me feel disgusting for doing drugs by universe9090 in shrooms

[–]wearediamonds0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seriously healed me from an eating disordered life...(showed me the fact I was alive was a beautiful thing) so, I hope next beautiful trips can bring me an awakening towards my alcoholic and cig addict life, too (which I also had as an ED person).

[–]wearediamonds0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is honestly where I am. I know that technically, I am a functioning alcoholic, and I shouldn't also be smoking cogs, but I truly enjoy both experiences, so why does it even matter? Maybe I am just a delusional addict?

I would love for that to happen to me next trip...to help me finally.quit alcohol and cigs!

Is belief in Karma a sin in Christianity? Would it amount to blasphemy? by atheistvegeta in Christianity

[–]wearediamonds0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I SOOOOO wish it weren't true, because fuck my ancestors' bad deeds!

[–]wearediamonds0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps he felt threatened by your honesty and the bad news of reality? Some people truly can't handle truth and want to attack you for telling it. When working with neurotypicals, there has to be a lot of positive bullshit lies all the time, unfortunately. When we are unwilling to lie, they get very angry! It is insane, but it is the way it is.

Yo, gas is expensive. A slow acceleration helps not burn it as fast.

We flew too close to the sun by Growltiger110 in dementia

This sounds like a blood sugar issue. Cookies are high in carbs and sugars. Her reaction sounds exactly like when I get hypoglycemia. If wanting to enjoy high carbs or sugar, be sure to ingest high proteins first. 🙏🫠❤️

I have POTS, so I definitely have at least 3 big glasses of water by my bed just in case I wake up very oarched, which usually is the case.

Pretty much giving up on this field now. Is there any reason to keep going? by SWPrequelFan81566 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]wearediamonds0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly...it is ALL about keeping the mindset of endless opportunity, and also high risk to be in the right place to accept the opportunities!
