#how to have financial success

[marisatomay]

once again. action movies are not the enemy of horror. the academy hates them BOTH even though both, probably more than any other genres, tend to actually push the boundaries of what you can do with a camera, what you can put in a movie. the last action movie to receive a best picture nomination was mad max: fury road seven (7) years ago. an action movie had to be credited with saving movie theaters before the academy would nominate another one. top gun maverick literally invented a new camera, put six of them in a cockpit, and pioneered new aerial filming techniques that had never even been attempted before. action is not the enemy of horror. turn your ire towards biopics, dramas that may or may not actually exist, and whatever self satisfied shit ruben östlund insists on cooking up.

#i’ll never love anything the way the academy loves a middling to bad biopic #also i didn’t get into this in the actual post but it’s a miracle top gun was nominated because the academy doesn’t like tom cruise #and he doesn’t like them back. #bc he decided to have fun while he still could instead of killing himself emotionally after being snubbed one time too many #during the weinstein years before they changed the rules on how you could campaign for oscars #and they know he doesn’t need them to be successful critically or financially and they do not like that. they want to be needed. #anyway shout out to him for refusing to campaign for any awards

Impulse (1995) #40

William Messner-Loebs really didn't pull any punches on this line.

#orla reads impulse #ironically loebs as of last year was having an exceedingly hard time due to capitalism as a senior citizen and was facing eviction #there was a gofundme for him that met its goal thankfully but i am not sure what update came from his financial insecurity #it is a very sad reminder that even beloved writers for dc are not guaranteed anything no matter how successful they were #dc is publishing a hardcover print of his run iirc but i am not sure if he is getting paid a dime from it

My first time watching Glass Onion it was obvious that Miles' speeches were bullshit, but I still searched for any hidden meaning there might be.

The second time is a different experience though because every time my brain starts to search for meaning, I feel like Benoit Blanc discovering that no, there is absolutely no hidden meaning.

It's bullshit it's all nothing nothing nothing! It is just how you end up talking when everyone reacts to your self-aggrandizing word vomit like it is actually wisdom.

Also, legit, when Miles gave his stupid bullshit speech about what the word 'disruptor' means to him, I shit you not I was like holy shit am I back in business school right now?!

Miles must have given speeches like that at 100 business school graduations, goddamn.

Like, the motherfuckers really do sound like this. We didn't have any billionaires come, but we had a lot of millionaire guest speakers in my classes, and they fucking talk like that.

They all think they're rugged capitalists, but they're just glass onions!

#original #glass onion #it's just. business school prepared me really well to succeed in the business world as a straight white neurotypical #able-bodied cis man with a large network of very wealthy friends and family #I really would have killed it if I wasn't a queer autistic cripple! #even the best teachers seemed incredibly unaware of the enormous privilege that they were assuming in their students when they taught #but they basically presupposed you had infinite energy and savings and a disturbingly large number of my classes were just #lectures about pushing as hard as you can no matter what #they used Starbucks as an example of an admirable case of somebody who persisted in going to 150 investor pitches before being approved #and like. how many people do you know who have enough savings to schedule plan and attend 150 investor pitches? #how many people do you know who could set up even 12 through their connections? #where are those savings coming from? where are those investor pitch meetings coming from? those aren't easy to get!! #but none of this was ever mentioned it was just awesome that the guy kept trying I guess. #I have a sneaking suspicion that if I were to have dug deeper into some of the examples we were given that a lot of those #real life businesses probably started with a big big loan from somebody's parents #I was listening to the show you're wrong about which is a really good podcast and Michael Hobbs was like #anytime you see an article glorifying someone's financial success especially at a young age you should control F for 'parents' #because chances are you will probably see the word 'parents' somewhere next to the words 'million dollar loan' #anyway college is a scam. the community aspect was incredibly cool but I don't see why we as a culture need to only be able to access that #kind of community when we are paying a scam Institution a shitload of money for Educations that aren't helpful for the majority of us #if College was free then people could actually study things that are useful or fun for them #I took most of my courses just to fill out my major too. the point wasn't to learn it was to graduate. #and then it turned out that if you're disabled in the way i am it doesn't matter if you have a college degree! #but I'm sure miles would say I just need to pull myself up by my bootstraps. and that's why I'm glad his life got exploded 😌 #andi kept him around for his money - why else would he be there when no one even liked him?? #he was the bankroll #one time I swear to god we just had the guy from American Psycho just a real ass Patrick Bateman #it was wild watching that movie later and being like ???? I know this guy! #outside of the actual murder scenes everything in that movie is not exaggerated in the slightest those bitches really are like that #like my parents are not 1% level rich so there'd be no giant loans but they are rich. it'd be stupid to act like i didn't benefit from that

Being made to watch a business video

Hhhhhhghghgg i have a headache

#yknow actually i think most of the advice is sound #‘know more about money and how it works’ #‘heres how to be economically stable and have passive income’ #good! #but then they say stuff like #‘you gotta force yourself to be financially tight so you can focus on becoming Successful Business.’ #like!! WHAT

Specter gauntlet....

#come ooon if anyone deserves the zenith weapon it's me :( i'm like the no. 1 zenith analyzer and i'm a special little birthday boy come ooon #i am haunted. every day i'm thinking about how those bastards work and what their tech is like and how they lived in space #i didn't choose them. they chose me. against my will. so i deserve financial compensation for this i think #come on lemme just give it a little whirl. just take it out for a little silly walk so i can feel the weight of that power at my fingertips #i won't be evil and corrupted i prommy. i just wanna understand what's in their heads. understanding is key to suckies i mean success #<<< omg. extremely dailahcore moment. hell yea. hope i have more of those soon #i want her to acquire blorbo status so i can draw her over and over again like i want to. here's hoping #ramble #bs #hfw

DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT NEW SEGA TRAILER???!!!??!? I THINK WE MIGHT BE GETTING A SEGA RENNEISSEANCE LIKE THE JET SET AND CRAZY TAXI VIDS ALONE??!!!??? AND THAT SHINOBI VID I MEAN COME ON

So people aren’t allowed to be born working class and then become successful financially? Ok 🙃

Did I say ‘he is not allowed to be born working class and then become successful financially”? I don’t think so but ok 🙃

#why you have to twist other people words #it’s just a weird way to put those words in a post jfc #you can have your working class here #being multimillionaire isn’t just being ‘financially successful’ #it’s being a multimillionaire with all the perks and flaws it implies #but that’s just my way since I know people will start saying things like #‘if you’re not english you cant comprehend how british working class work’ #and that’s fair. I probably don’t and that’s probably why I perceive this differently or I have a different view on this from you #or from somebody else

[knifekris]

it brings me relief to close my eyes and remember the thousands of generations before me with no inkling of this type of life and i like to think about what kinds of beds they would make for the weary night and who they would share it with

#it hurts when the well meaning adults in my life only have the advice #of going into nursing school for the money #of making choices xplicitly for financial success #my love let me take your hand. being a nurse would kill me within years. it would kill me #tell me about how you sleep at night

[quenthel]

My grandma: So what kind of men are you into?

Me:

#quenthel special #talking to my grandma is a 50/50 chance that she forgots how to act and start saying some bullshit #like why do you care??? WHYYYY??? #im never coming out to her but also why would you want to know this... i mean ik why #she wants to brag to her friends abt how pretty successful and married to a nice man i am but since i dont have a bf she is so worried #like she cant brag :( this is so sad we all should cry and weep #grandma die city!!!!!! #im not even hurt im just soooo annoyed like she does not even care abt me #ppl talking abt grandma's cooking and grandma's unconditional love im so happy you experienced that but its not relatable for me... #you mean your grandma is not a vile serpent who emotionally manipulated everyone in her family and abused one of your parents? #and continues to hurt your family and your mom specifically too? and never gives any financial support and actively undermined your family's #attempts to get housing??? wild!!! #ok ill shut up abt this sorry dhhdjddjds back to playing pillars

as much as i still maintain that ko yurim’s behavior when she lost to na heedo at the asian games was both so unprofessional and so unsportsmanlike, i still can’t help but feel so bad for her. whereas heedo’s motivation for winning is intrinsically tied to some sort of self-fulfillment, fencing is LITERALLY yurim’s livelihood for both her and her family. and so her disgust and hatred towards heedo initially, while probably still somewhat rooted in pride as being korea’s fencing darling, is actually coming from a place of losing said livelihood while also be reminded of her dire circumstances and i can’t adequately put into words how messed up it is.

#twenty five twenty one #kdrama analysis #i don’t blame her for being so belligerent towards heedo at ALL #because she only has so much that she can call hers (being a gold champ or yijin etc.) #that when heedo begins to take these things away from her it’s like the biggest slap in the face #because it’s like…heedo’s financially stable like…why couldn’t yurim just HAVE this for once #a many people have probably delved into how well they foil each other so i won’t touch that #BUT YEAH KO YURIM DESERVES TO HAVE HER CUTESY PUPPY LOVE LAST AND BE SUCCESSFUL OKAY #AND IT’S OKAY THAT IT’S JUST A SOFT AND CUTE RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE LORD JESUS THIS GIRL HAS GONE THROUGH ENOUGH #i’m at the end of episode 8 and i literally remembered all the posts about the ending shitting on yurim’s relationship lasting and heedo’s #ending but like… #from what i’m seeing of heedo and yijin’s relationship so far it quite LITERALLY is not the paragon of relationships those weekly watchers #were chalking it up to be let me TELL YOU #my thoughts might change as i keep watching but heedo and yijin CANNOT stay on the same page for too long #and even if you continue to communicate if things just can’t line up the relationship is eventually going to collapse #alright that’s enough meta back to watching!

I get so sad whenever i think abt the fact that dork diaries was written by a black woman inspired by her daughters but she chose to make the protagonist white because she knew it would sell better. Knowing that a character i loved so much could have looked like me hurts

#but im still happy it was a success for her bc she was having a tough time financially which was the whole reason she started writing it #its infuriating how we cant even write ourselves into our own stories or put ourselves in the background so white ppl can be comfortable

Hi I saw ur posts abt dropping out and I just wanted to say that I was in a similar place as you a few years back I ended up leaving school and haven't regretted it since (also ik everyone's situation is different but it really doesn't matter if u have a degree or not depending on the career field you'd wanna gwt into) but yeah, just wanted to say you're not alone and it's definitely not the end of the world if u decide to leave school. Be easy on urself, hope you have a nice day ♡

thank u this is making me cry bc sometimes talking to the void doesn’t help at all . someone responding means a lot thank u ❤️❤️

#my solution atm is push thru. #depending how the rest of the semester goes i’ll just not go next semester and that’s that #i only wanna finish this semester bc my parents wil start going crazy #but idk . maybe it’ll turn out fine anyway and this is just one thing driving me insane #cuz i was mostly okay. #it’s just hard when there’s so much stuff to do at once #i’ll b okay . #captain’s log #whatever #idk #i want a clear path to success #and there’s no such thing 😭 #success is so vague i mean like financial independence #i want to move out. i want to b happy in my job. i want to have some free time to enjoy life. #all that. you know. #and i rlly could start working full time at my job. #if i got a car. i rlly could #and i wasn’t in school #my manager loves me enough to do that for me i think…

After 146 days, the Writer's Strike has ended with a resounding success. Throughout constant attempts by the studios to threaten, gaslight, and otherwise divide the WGA, union members stood strong and kept fast in their demands. The result is a historic win guaranteeing not only pay increases and residual guarantees, but some of the first serious restrictions on the use of AI in a major industry.

This win is going to have a ripple effect not only throughout Hollywood but in all industries threatened by AI and wage reduction. Studio executives tried to insist that job replacement through AI is inevitable and wage increases for staff members is not financially viable. By refusing to give in for almost five long months, the writer's showed all of the US and frankly the world that that isn't true.

Organizing works. Unions work. Collective bargaining how we bring about a better future for ourselves and the next generation, and the WGA proved that today. Congratulations, Writer's Guild of America. #WGAstrong!!!

#gingerswagfreckles #wga #writer's strike #wga strong #wga strike #do the write thing #sag #sag aftra #sag afta strike #unions #Hollywood #according to the news the strike isnt technically over until a vote can be ratified on Tuesday but in practice its over #pickets r called off immediately amd they got almlst everything theu wanted #so its gonna be ratified for sure #current events #news #AI #artificial intelligence

I get the soto criticism but I’m also happy the new content model is healthier for the studio

#this isn’t about the quality. I think the follow up updates have been bad and a lot of resources seem to be going to the initial release #but someone pointed out a few months ago how much was released from 2017-19 (most for free) #and I can’t stop thinking about it #so yeah the quality is a concern but I don’t think ‘they’re lazy’ is accurate #and I’m interested to see what the next xpac will be like considering soto was a financial success #and if there will be a repeat of a high quality initial release with follow ups having less. as well as things like model reusing #but hopefully this makes sense. I think it’s complicated but I also agree with most critique
