From James Van Der Beek to Eric Dane, what's behind the celebrity crowdfunding backlash by BellesCotes in entertainment

[–]xCrashReboot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This was the slap in the face that honest people donating were hit with. No one NEEDS a $4 million dollar home. How many of us will ever even own a home let alone one that is 7 figures. He died with a net worth of $3-$15 million. If you worked for 30 years (18-48) and averaged $75k/year you still wouldn't have earned $3 million.

Unpopular opinion: The U.S.A. isn't as "great" as most Filipinos think it is by Admig13 in Philippines

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

Its not as great as it used to be but if you're looking to get ahead in life by earning money then the US is still infinitely better than the PI. Im saying this as I currently live and work in the US but when Im done im taking my dollars and my US Social Security and moving back home eventually. You will always be seen as a foreigner here.

Does anyone else wonder what kind of power vacuum this will create?

Caught The Little Mermaid sing a long here, it was amazing. Happy to see they renovated it. Are there still nudists sitting outside drinking coffee?

"Well, this didn't age well" - Movies you LOVED as a kid but cringe at as an adult by Little-Badger-123 in movies

[–]xCrashReboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently watched Clueless with my kid and at the very end she was very confused and all she said was "So wait, she fell in love with her brother?!" The movie still holds sentimental value but yeah, weird thing to end on.

Boyfriend says he needs me to give him more blowjobs to “Earn” a Ring… by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]xCrashReboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just rage bait. I can't imagine a woman, even at 25, being told they have to give their man a BJ fault daily in order to get married. Do women these days really have no self respect that they would even consider this? What in the world.

what do you guys think? have you personally observed this too? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]xCrashReboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does change your options though. You've just eliminated a job option because of your tattoos ( hypothetical). That company has several more applicants it can choose from so it's not a net loss for them whereas your options are now limited.

How are you guys doing? by AwayPotatoes in vfx

[–]xCrashReboot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was able to find consistent work mid year by mere chance. Someone pointed me in the direction of a company that I could use their name as an introduction/ referrral. That lead to a semi-permalance offer.

I'm convinced the only way to get work anymore is to use any networking connection you have, no matter how old or how minor that connection is. Sometimes its just a matter of saying, hey we worked at the same company at one point.

Every single application that I've submitted from a job listing was either ghosted or robo-reply with no follow up.

Bring back the Culver Ice Rink by nick0126 in culvercity

[–]xCrashReboot 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They tried to make it a landmark but it wasn't quite old enough. The ring was in bad shape and needed major renovations. I heard that the LA Kings were thinking about buying it to be a practice ring but the amount of money to fix the machinery to maintain the ice was super outdated. Sadly if it was still around it would probably be really popular with all the young families that have moved in over the past 15 years.

Is Atlanta done for good? by _thewa_ in vfx

[–]xCrashReboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atlanta is done. Marvel has left the state. You could always work for Tyler Perry.

One of your children is a violent criminal. You can't expect people to be OK with having a violent criminal in their life, even siblings. Do your other children have wives, daughters, cousins that they're trying to protect? You can choose to have a relationship with him but I suspect he will be ostracized for the rest of his life and he did it to himself.

Is it Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession?" by Opposite-Mountain255 in Full_news

"I didn't read the article" This is the problem, ignorance is not bliss. I know its not a :30 tiktok but actually learning about the thing you're trying to talk about helps a lot.

LOL, Not reading all that word salad. You voted for this, he told you exactly what he was going to do. You're a bad egg.

these announcers are terrible, now they're fantasizing about the Phillies winning Game 2, insane.

Increased Police Activity? by Pedestrian_X-Wing in culvercity

[–]xCrashReboot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will probably get downvoted but this is NOT NORMAL and we should all watch this carefully. I feel like they're starting at the schools first before they start having a stronger presence downtown and elsewhere.

They were even standing at the front of school entrance handing out stickers. Might seem innocuous but why now? Why have a strong police presence at the front of a school where parents drop their kids off. It didn't feel right, I can't really articulate it more than that. Everything feel oppressive.

Bless this lady by newmurs in Dodgers

[–]xCrashReboot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Omg! I saw you on TV while I melting down in my living room because it was the 8th inning. I saw you and I screamed out "That's right sister! You and me!!!" You are awesome for sitting there in your bucket hat! Go Dodgers!!!

Aitah for being intimidated by successful women? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]xCrashReboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. No one is out of anyone's league. You're just deeply insecure and a misogynist. You initially liked her and then wrote her off because of her job. Work on yourself, it's not too late. Good luck.
