Hi all,

Since we won’t be getting the shoutbox back anytime soon, figured this would be a good alternative.

Sometimes, you’ve got something on your mind, but, it’s not really worth an entire thread. This is where this thread comes in.

Just a few guidelines:

- Please do not talk about anything that has a thread. For example, there are 8000 covid related threads. You can discuss those things in the threads already made. This is more for topics that just aren’t enough for a dedicated thread.

- Please do not spam. Examples, just posting a gif, just posting a picture, just saying “hi”. At least make your post have a little effort it in. Instead of “I’m cold”, expand just a bit, at least, like “damn, it’s cold outside, summer certainly made a quick exit”. Add a bit of meat to your post.

If you’re still unsure of what to do in here, please ask. It’s basically a giant “talk about anything” thread, except for topics already made.

Cheers

Shame this thread is one of the only good things about this section.

I always forget on occasion that WF talking about politics brings a lot of insufferable douchey people out that I'd rather never meet in real life.

This video is so insensitive you might have to view it hiding under the bed in your safe room in your safe space. What should be the punishment for such a brutish neanderthal exhibition having the nerve to put actual human beings into categories purely for the source of amusement? Egad! Egad, I say!

Recently binged first season of Buffy and realize I forgot how much horror themed it was. And how hot SMG was. Also feel old that show is more than 2 decades old now.

Don't you hate when work ask you to make something YOU think will be good. I have to make a short film that will be presented to an Editor at the BBC and I have no idea what they would like. I mean, I know what things I'm interested in but I have no idea what they might like. I wish they'd just give me a list of things to choose from rather than making me guess at it

That sucks, I’m lucky that my work asks if I’d like to do a project and then they provide me with at least a base to go with.

@Dr. Middy I can’t stand political threads, people always prove they can’t discuss without getting in their feels. Same recycled arguments 1000 times.

do what you like

doing something you don’t like will come cross half-assed anyway

at least if you did what you liked it will be authentic and the work will show it

Sadly that's just how journalism works, something that I've unfortunately found out the last year or so. People don't give a shit about a lot of things, especially positive news. Positive news legit gets no clicks, no one reads it as much as people say the news is overly negative, they only read bad shitty news. A lot of people talk shit about the media but we are reflecting what people actually want to watch/read for the most part. It is our job to identify what most people want to read, and give it to them. Problem is here with this one guy I have no idea what he wants personally haha

Hey, @Catalanotto I've answered your beckoning. I've become a lurker the last long while instead of a healthy contributing member. Lately I figured I'd let some time pass before posting again out of respect. (for the record, my username was meant as a tribute to Scott Hall's rebirth from near death... didn't think about his eventual passing. Should probably change it maybe?)

On Peacock, I just finished watching every episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. It never jumped the shark, great from beginning to end. An all time great sitcom.

You're in journalism! That was my first career too. It made very little money, so I switched careers sadly.

Use our debate in the other thread as your basis, that will make for good programming. Just be objective about the other side a bit more.

From experience, you need to sell it to the Editor-in-chief, rather than ask for it, from experience. It's a test project for you, for sure.
