If videos had to match the field of vision, and this was the audience's primary concern, I'd 100% agree! I think it's close to their primary concern when watching something like a nature documentary or a historical drama or p

Landscape has a super old history, but it made the most sense where it originated, which was the stage, with curtains, for live theater. It got carried into film and then streaming video as a kind of analogy You are living through a transit

I wouldn't bother. You need to enjoy and trust the process instead of staking everything on whether or not you complete some goal.

Contrary to OP, I'm having trouble imagining tech and the arts thriving in NYC, if this keeps up. Will it become one of those cities where lots of the properties are really being used as investments, not homes or commercial spaces? And

There are so many horror stories about academia waiting to come out. The way vulnerable people are exploited and mistreated in what is, in fact, a work environment; moral hazards and conflicts of interest everywhere; lots of untrustworthy r

What are you trying to get out of these interactions, is it new friends and romantic partners or literally just the novelty of meeting a stranger? Do you think at this point people might be sensing that you're bracing for boredom as yo

Ha cool, I have a similar story to you but for me it was plain coffee not soft drinks, and the sugar I was getting in lots of places in my diet. It sounds like I had fewer withdrawal symptoms but it definitely took a couple months to stop w

If you freelance you are now just going to have to obey the client. If you start a start up, you have to please and obey VCs. I would recommend you finish school while trying to figure out your strong emotions about perfection, feeling spec

OP take this suggestion seriously. Therapy is not overkill, they are not gonna make you do anything you don't wanna do, you do not have to feel out of control when you try therapy. You can tell them the specific issues you want to work

Yep. It is never cool, charming, or necessary to have chaos in the workplace. You can have uncertainty, fast paced change, or open ended goals, and still be an organized shop with clear communication If you exude chaos and don't show a

Sounds like you're at a good company with a structured plan for retention/promotion, don't worry about it. At a good company like that you're probably also learning a lot. If you start to feel like there's no way up
