  • This is the sure-fire solution. Before I left Reddit when the API bs went down (RIP RIF), I had already filtered out all the popular and simipopular political and adjacent subs. It change my Reddit experience and overall frustration levels immediately and all for the better. I still got the news I wanted here and there but without that dumbass antagonistic shithole that’s the comments section. Anyway, good riddance, Reddit.








  • I work in the film business. Im one of the on set tech worker bees and the thing that annoys me most in movies is making them. What a shit industry. In the past +5 years of so, it has really gone down Hill. I’m an IATSE member and year after year these big studios have taken everything from us, refused to give reasonable raises, even if only to keep up with inflation, and the daily production demands get bigger and bigger, putting so much pressure on the crews. On top of all that, they brag about setting record profits every year while pretending to be shooting a huge film on a shoestring budget. I hate it and I’ve been trying to get into another industry but it’s so hard. It’s hard for me to enjoy movies anymore because I’m so resentful. I work on the big big stuff too so it’s not like I’m getting screwed over my little indie shit stain prod cos. These are the jobs people dream of and it’s not what you think it is and everyone hates it once they get here. It’s not the work itself though, it’s those you work for. Ignorant peanut counters and the precious shareholders ruin everything.
