Good to know!

Is it just me or is that absolute garbage quality for the price?

An underused word to be sure

I did what I could to earn enough money to pay my rent, support my pets, and put food on my table.

Also, my current views on ads have been largely formed in a gradual process over the last 5-7 years, while I’ve been working in VO long before then.

If it’s any consolation to you, AI has devoured most of my market in the last 3 years and left me with maybe 5-10% of the work I used to get.

you’re one of them

More accurately I WAS one of them, but people change 😊

It’s the smarmy, overly excited, commercial voices for me. And I’m saying that as a VO artist who’s produced HUNDREDS of smarmy, overly excited commercials over the years. I’m so sick of it. I’ve taken drastic steps to try and block all ads from my life. Somehow it’s never enough.

For almost everyone it’s gonna be the phone we’re reading this on.

Imagine

Went over that bridge in Baltimore last year about an hour before it collapsed. Felt lucky

Maybe the dumbest possible idea here from government regulators. You think you’re going to somehow legislate certain geometry out of existence? “Sorry, you can’t print that ILLEGAL SHAPE with the printer you own!” Same vacant headed assholes that think they can ban encryption. Fuck off, shrivel up and perish, please.

What’s the singular, then?

That too, I can’t believe some of my friends bar tabs. Who drops a couple hundred bucks a night in this economy? Many people, that’s who.

Water because I’m a raging alcoholic

“Cruisin” is no longer a thing

That’s not the case in much of the rural US. In small towns (~30-75k) everywhere there are kids driving up and down the road every Friday and Saturday night.

Supposedly, if you put a slice of bologna on a regular, painted car panel overnight, it will peel the paint off with it. I don’t know if that’s true or not. The cyber truck doesn’t have paint so it’s irrelevant, but that’s the one automotive bologna anecdote that I know of.

How about TWO layers of tissue? Checkmate, scientists.

Signed, the toilet seat nest-builders of the world.

One of my first cars was a 90s Chevy Astrovan. Good, good times in that vehicle. Rocked like a boat coming to a stop. 4.3l v6 had plenty of power. AWD as well. Room for friends.

I’ve worked for and with some famous people. It doesn’t look like fun, I wouldn’t want it for myself. You’re surrounded by enablers who will reinforce your worst character traits. The public gets exhausting to deal with after a while. Sometimes you’re just having a bad day and don’t feel like taking selfies with random strangers instead of going about your day. Public figures can be difficult to get along with in close settings because of all these reasons and more.

Wouldn’t want to be one, I’ll happily take their money though.

The first one I remember using was good old Windows 98.

I don’t know, you seem to be using more advanced vocabulary and word choice in this thread than could be explained just with autocorrect.

Sending love to you brother. I wish I knew the right magic words to say that would help you love yourself like you should. I hope one day you find what you need.
