a) the Ulmer scale (A–D) hasn’t been used in nearly 15 years, and even then it was out of date

b) panel show and reality TV appearances (The ‘D’ section of the Ulmer) aren’t really the major concern here

Tell me the amount of money you think I got paid for a night shoot for a single ep appearance (not co-star) on BET?

Then tell me how much you think I’ve earned in residuals from it since?

funkless_eck ,

“Guest Star”, unnamed character, end roll credits only, 1 ep, about 5 or 6 lines. Just over a grand before fees, about USD$800 after, not factoring year end taxes. No residuals as I wasn’t a principal and it wasn’t full SAG.

funkless_eck ,

1 nights work on set (i think i got there at 6pm and ended up being wrapped about 8am), but you only work once every couple of months AND you’re not counting auditions, wardrobe/fitting call, driving, So it was actually $800 for about 30 hours work (again before tax). Are you telling me that working for $25/hour gross for an overnight shift once, a few times a year is a big privilege?

Both me and my wife are actors. I do more stage, she does more commercials. We both have day jobs - mine is corporate and I either kill myself working 100 hour weeks or use my PTO when I get cast, hers is education and so just has to turn down gigs if they clash with her work.

Not to mention

  • new headshots every year
  • at least one training program every year
  • actors access, backstage
  • above platforms also have separate fees for reels - of which there are dramatic, commercial, voice and specialist reels (eg skinsuit, circus skills, music, vocals, accents, cartoons…)
  • regular calls with agents and managers
  • networking
  • participating in the community (going to the theatre, short film fests, comedy nights, open mics, monologue slams).

I also sit on the board of three theatre companies (unpaid) and judge a few festivals (paid in free tickets to the shows I’m judging and sometimes a dinner).

If you’re making less than $25/hour and working less than a few times a year, so that you can call me privileged I’d be incredibly surprised.

funkless_eck ,

I mean you were the one who used it, so if you don’t care about how popular an actor is, why do you think they should get paid less?

Lets even the field: What work do you do, and why should you get a pay cut starting tomorrow?

funkless_eck ,

Because it’s not very good pay in return for a) what you have to give for it and b) more importantly — what studios get for it.

I’m 40 this year. More than 2 beers and I get a hangover before I even go to bed and insomnia the next day.

Aged 18/19 I could slam 12 beers and a few shots and wake up feeling nothing.

Time is a cruel mistress.

you can say “the slave trade is bad” and not get harangued for using the words “slave trade”

hell you can even say “the slave trade is good” and turn off notifications and would never know.

funkless_eck ,

I’m “on” Facebook - but barely. I have to be though as it’s the only way to reliably contact some relatives overseas.

It doesn’t bother me though, maybe I have target ads on there, but I can’t see them, and they never get to load as I rarely open the platform until I need it.

When in other games I can pick something up with a big green number and purple text that indicates “this will blow shit up real good” Destiny has a icon with some circles and a dot which indicates that if the community does a few hours of research, I can look up on a third party website that this gun will increase my fire rate by 0.3% but decrease my airborne accuracy by 0 .2% unless I’m within 9 meters of 3 enemies and I threw my grenade longer than 1 second ago but sooner than 8 seconds ago in which case it’ll decrease my airborne accuracy by 0.1% and increase any shoe-related buff cooldowns by a third of a second

It’s a good death scene. The cardinal, near death, barely coherent, accidentally confesses to poisoning the Duke Gloucester to the King and Dukes of Salisbury and Warwick in his death throes. And Henry asks God to give him a sign that the Cardinal went to heaven, and… nothing happens.

VI Act 3, scene 3 Scene 3

Enter King Henry, Salisbury and Warwick, to the Cardinal in bed, raving and staring


<span style="color:#323232;"> KING HENRY 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      How fares my lord? Speak, Beaufort, to thy sovereign.
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> CARDINAL 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       If thou be’st Death, I’ll give thee England’s treasure,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Enough to purchase such another island,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      So thou wilt let me live and feel no pain.
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> KING HENRY 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Ah, what a sign it is of evil life,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Where Death’s approach is seen so terrible!
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> WARWICK 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Beaufort, it is thy sovereign speaks to thee.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> CARDINAL 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Bring me unto my trial when you will.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">     Died he not in his bed? Where should he die?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Can I make men live, whe’er they will or no?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      O, torture me no more! I will confess.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Alive again? Then show me where he is.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      I’ll give a thousand pound to look upon him.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">     He hath no eyes! The dust hath blinded them.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Comb down his hair. Look, look. It stands upright,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">     Like lime-twigs set to catch my wingèd soul.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Give me some drink, and bid the apothecary
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Bring the strong poison that I bought of him.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> KING HENRY 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       O, Thou eternal mover of the heavens,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       Look with a gentle eye upon this wretch!
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      O, beat away the busy meddling fiend
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       That lays strong siege unto this wretch’s soul,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      And from his bosom purge this black despair!

</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> WARWICK 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      See how the pangs of death do make him grin!
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   SALISBURY 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Disturb him not. Let him pass peaceably.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  KING HENRY 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">       Peace to his soul, if God’s good pleasure be!—
</span><span style="color:#323232;">     Lord Card’nal, if thou think’st on heaven’s bliss,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      Hold up thy hand; make signal of thy hope.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> *The Cardinal dies.*

Over the last month, some Spanish-speaking New Yorkers got a recorded phone call from Mayor Eric Adams speaking their native language. “Hola, soy el alcalde Eric Adams,” the mayor says in a monotone but flawless accent, before launching into a pitch for jobs with the city government.

well not in 1823.

Poland, Warsaw (then had separate legal systems), The Netherlands, Bavaria, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador all decriminalized same sex relationships in the 1810s and 20s. So it wasn’t exactly all completely dead-against.

I don’t know what you’re asking but the word “communism” - although used in some small French circles in the late 1780s didn’t get used in English until 1840.

understood, but in the same way that 2023 is different to 1979 and 1951 - so too 1823 was different to 1867 (first volume of Das Kapital published) and 1894 (last volume of Das Kapital published)

I get some of the issues (not talking about pharmacies here) because if you hire remotely you get swamped with resumes, if you don’t you only get the nearest people, not the best people.

Everyone loves to shit on HR in comment threads but if they have a series of processes that are well thought out they can be a benefit to employer and employee.

funkless_eck ,

i don’t work in HR lol but you can say that about any job except doctors nurses and fire fighters

That’s what being an employee is: receiving money to be of some use to the employer.

Hubspot AI chat bot told me to go three levels deep into a menu that doesn’t exist, to click a button that doesn’t exist to enable a service that doesn’t exist to solve a problem I had.

maybe I should start asking it impossible questions

“how do I stop contacts from enabling the email flange during the squeej phase of marketing?”

I mean they did build a gold statue of trump at CPAC, and “public dot com” and “$EGT crypto” both built statues of musk.

people can make whatever art they want. If it’s truly popular it will last. The proof of the pudding and all that.

funkless_eck ,

Ah yes, world War 1, where we quickly and efficiently crushed the Bosnian Serb uprising without causing any further problems which is why the Austria-Hungarian empire is still so prevalent today.
