    The film industry is dead. Friends are losing their houses left and right…and this is BEFORE we are probably going on strike when we go to negotiate our new contract this summer in the middle of our busy season!

    Don’t believe your lying eyes, everyone! Bidenomics has been GREAT for the economy!🥴

      The film industry isn’t dead, it’s still twitching. My cinema workplace in the UK is busier this year than it was after the COVID slump.

        You’re probably working on the film (BJ2) that I was working on that went on to Europe to finish shooting. Trust me: it’s DEAD in the US. Even in LA, it’s dead.

          Oh no, I work in a cinema, as an usher etc. it’s a bit mainstream and a bit art house. I hear you about industry stateside, lots of multiplexes closing

            Yeah. No one goes to the theater anymore and the industry is converging around 200 walled gardens that don’t share content and serve ads to make up for the lost revenue from ticket sales…a race to the bottom and all they had to do was pool their resources and they’d make tons of money on content. Instead, egos caused them to fragment their revenue streams like all the stupid music streaming services did, shooting themselves in the foot.

            I saw it coming from miles away and was outspoken. Still, it’s too late. I’m switching to a better source of income once the tech sector realizes that they actually need humans even in the age of AI.

                Thanks! I’ll need it!

                …If only there were some other system where I didn’t have to monetize my interests. Oh well. I’m sure capitalism is the best way. /s

    Today I feel like a 5 star man. Last night I lost my kiss virginity and also my sleep-and-cuddle-with-a-beautiful-girl virginity.

    For context I’m 28 and have Aspergers. I honestly thought as recently as a couple of months ago that these things were never going to happen for me.

    Two stars.

    Start of semester at university where I’m a sysadmin. Students are already stealing and vandalizing the equipment. Teachers are complaining about not having software that they didn’t request to be installed. Upgrading my PC will be a lot more expensive than I expected. Lunch was good.

    4 stars. Paperwork from my new employer just came through. I got everything I asked for. I’m now just waiting for my old employer to pay out this years bonus, and I’ll be resigning for a 30% pay increase.

    One star deducted because I’m old and crusty, and being expected to figure how to use emoticons/emojies annoys me more than it should.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Life’s pretty good. Deducted one star for being tired today and some added stress at work. Those are pretty temporary things though.

    ⭐⭐

    Stressful day at work, once again I am wondering why I do this useless thankless job anyway. If I didn’t need the money I’d do something I actually like.
