Have you seen the VA opportunities for “Additional Voices” in the credits? Many people make a living in that non-marquee space and it has huge demand. The one trick is to learn how to emote or learn to sing. Simply sounding generic does no one any good if the voice is flat and unemotive. A voice has to convey emotion - how it sounds doing it will define how much work you get.
It looks like it was built for rivers, so no worries of a big wave that would cause concern.
Typically there’s an entourage that includes the people who actually run things and/or communicate the decisions made by the oligarch. They will own the company but rarely make direct decisions for the company. They may make business decisions in the beginning of the company history but by a certain size they are detached from most operations and hand down proactive choices about what the company should be doing with its resources.
The primary vehicle for their money is the control of the company they own, the actual stocks that they borrow against for spending money.
Since they have access to any amount of money they want, there is no need to do any actual work. Any interaction with the company is just personal preference and the owner is more useful as a mouthpiece and investment magnet for the company. With few obligations each week, days start to not matter and sleep schedules are fucked. Sobriety becomes a burden since there is nothing to live for - it has all been accomplished. The only thing left to do is get drunk/high and spend money.
Owning a successful company, even a successful local business, is usually enough to detach a person from the average experience of daily work and set schedules. Millionaire business owners are just as warped as a billionaire so it becomes a question of where the shit happened. Billionaires go overseas to do fucked shit.
Anecdotally, most millionaires don’t work. Some have hobbies that make a few thousand here and there but they don’t worry about schedules. They are on rich time.
Edit: the ones who are in business leadership and making millions each pay period are literally sociopaths. They run shit to exercise power. They don’t actually need to be there either except for some decision making meetings and coordinating with other organizations.
Mario Brothers are really just passionate about toilet seals. Saving a princess was incidental.
My friend lived in a house with 4 other guys and all but one was athletic and outdoorsy. The other guy was a WOW addicted Mexican who never left his room except to get food deliveries or cigarettes. The others called him The Brown Recluse.
Capitalism thrives on exclusivity, teaching people that others doing the same thing is competition and not friendship.
Complaining that boob size in video games is upsetting a demographic doesn’t make me upset at Steam. It makes me question you.

You look bored.
I thought about that and that’s why I picked Croce - different flight than Big Bopper, Richie Valenz, and Buddy Holly.
Outside the box: Robert Elliot, a charter pilot who flew and killed Jim Croce by crashing into a tree on takeoff. Pilot error was found to be the cause as the overweight 57 year old pilot was unable to drive to the airport so ran for 3 miles, from his motel to the hangar, to be on time for the flight. The run exacerbated his coronary artery disease, causing him to tunnel vision and not see the tree.
What if we want democracy but nothing to do with Liberalism? Let’s work towards a more progressive, humanity focused social agenda. Let’s make people happy again.
Tazo often gets fancy with the spices. Are there any other ingredients listed?
But this is streaming and Zach Snyder was hired on the premise that he delivers his vision. There is no studio jumping in to make cuts.
Studios view the movie as a product. This process has a physical requirement to consume it of 2 hours. The point of cuts is to have more screenings in one room rather than hiring 2 rooms to show the movie. That studio integrity is met with frustration when they keep a movie as the director intended and the theater has 4 screening per day because it’s a 3 hour movie with 15 minutes between showings for cleaning.
Movie theaters are also putting pressure on the studio for short movies because they want people to move through the theater. Movie theaters don’t care about what they show as long as it brings in bodies who will eat and drink concessions. The movies are the feed and people are the cattle to be processed as quickly as possible.
The theaters want a shorter movie and the studio wants a shorter movie, so really the only person who can hold up the idea of a long movie is the director with the promise the movie will guarantee repeat viewings despite the smaller number of screenings. And Zach Snyder can’t make that promise.
His movies are the narrative equivalent of a Michael Bay movie - except Bay has better narrative and understands how to build tension. Snyder is incapable of making a low budget movie about genuine people. He is only talented when picking the color of blaster shots. His characters are trash. His plots are boring. His camera work nearly incomprehensible. There is no amount of work he can do to make his original cut work because there is nothing of substance that was cut out.
300 is good if you interpret the story as the oral history of the fight by the only survivor to recruit more spartans for a hopeless but ultimately existential fight.
This is written like a desperate list maker from Breitbart needs to make a deadline.
Why not just admit you vote right, hate a subset of people, and want to believe that you are the only person who can be trusted to break the rules?
Michael Bloomberg spent $1 billion to run a distraction campaign, taking headlines from Bernie Sanders’ repeated wins in the early 2020 Democratic primary. Bloomberg spent $500M the first week to flood the internet with influencers and meme makers being absolutely distracted by the low torrent of low effort shit post memes about Bloomberg. It was so obviously an astroturf campaign built on fake sentiment that everyone forgot Bernie won 5 states in a row and was crushing Biden. By the end of the month, Elisabeth Warren also bowed out and took her progressive voters to Biden.
So for $500 Million you can ruin a grassroots campaign! Buy bad memes and pay influencers to distract people.
Lots of evidence a d clues that were missed or given the benefit of the doubt. But yeah, it’s bad.
Hopefully they want to understand why this happened and will learn who’s to blame.
