Same I know him from The Boys and never thought of him as the nepo baby, but now I’ll always be reminded of that. Didn’t know he was Meg Ryan’s kid either.

I would be grateful to be in a position to be called a nepo baby. That means my life is pretty good and I wouldn’t want to struggle unnecessarily if I don’t have to.

Depends on the industry. Degree based ones like medicine or accounting and or trades are easier to get into the industry to make a comfortable living for the average perdon. Now upper tier is another matter, and that does heavily benefit from relationships if going for like high management level positions.

But, the art and performance based ones like movies and music is one where relationship definitely is heavily shifted to being important, and talent and work ethic guarantees nothing. And financial security is very unstable and hard to attain for the average person to grind it out, so every advantage matters to even be considered for a job that could end up being stable.

So nepotism doesn’t discount their talent or hard work, but there’s no need downplay the role it played to even get a shot.

If I were him only thing worse than being called a nepo baby would be my mom coming out publicly to tell people not to call me a nepo baby. That’s like further drawing anything to the issue and as embarrassing as a student would be of their parents loudly telling everyone in school to not be bullies.

Haha yeah it actually shows what a huge initial advantage it even is to be able to get a chance to act in the industry, and highlights how they could have not been in the industry without nepotism. There’s a lot of talented people but only so many people the industry is willing to give a look, so relationships really matter if you don’t want to rely on lottery type luck. Industry doesn’t have a shortage of people.

I have no hopes like I had no hopes for Halo. When it comes to games it is more in the territory of prove you don’t suck as opposed to I believe you’ll be amazing.

Problem with a lot of shows is that they start off strong then get worse and worse as they drag it out as it gets more popular. Kind of felt like it is headed that way with how the last episode ended up feeling like a sitcom of everything just returning back to the status quo with some slight changes to up the stakes, but it really remaining the same. So it did feel like show should be coming to an end soon anyways. Plus, with how dragged out hiatuses between seasons are now days wrapping things up sooner is not something I have issue with.

Only reason I gave it a chance was that the source material was complete and considered well written, and having read it after season 1 I can confirm show should be in good place. Even if it isn’t I don’t care, since unlike Game of Thrones the source material is actually available.

Pretty good and then it ended on a cliff hanger so I finished it through the book instead of waiting around for 2+ years. Book was very good.

When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for “exposure” in hopes of finding new fans.

I’ve preferred firefox on Android, since it doesn’t refresh on me when I minimize it as often as other browsers.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

Adding TV shows into the mix that were average made it too much to bother keeping up, and I haven’t watched MCU since then.

It’s so weird that Google’s phone has been the most accessible for unlocking your phone. Oneplus used to be good too, but then they became bad in that area too and now custom rom scene seems dead for newer Oneplus phones.

Having to even throw in something like WW3 into the potential reasons shows there isn’t a strong argument for you to need one. Haha

Doesn’t explain all the other games sold for cheaper than steam when you take a look at isthereanydeals. Or the bundles fanatical offers with no charity involved.

Basically don’t download apks from telegram.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand the dislike for snap.

Yeah, I genuinely do not understand having used Windows, Linux, and MacOS. They are making it sound like it’s trying to decipher some unknown language. Even a quick YouTube would have solved how to install a exe.

So there are YouTube front ends for browser experience, but has anyone tried freetube from this guide?

I’ve really liked the newpipe x Sponsorblock experience on my Android phone with having a subscription list, saves, playlists all locally with no YouTube account and ability to export and import the data of Playlists etc.

Freetube sounds like newpipe for desktop and has sponsorblock as an option too. Anyone use it or used it and have an thoughts on it?
