I don't think this would make anyone buy a car from this dealership. This somewhat highlights the product, but does nothing for this individual vendor.

Do you think the world of videography is becoming a bit incestuous? People making videos about making videos about making videos about.... by noahkirkwood in videography

Peter Mckinnon cut his hair.

Then Gerald Undone cut his hair.

Then Chris Hau cut his hair.

It's the nature of social media. All industries are now suffering from this. Apparently doing a job you're passionate about and provides you the means to live isn't good enough anymore. Everyone wants to sell you on how to do a thing that they're supposedly good at. There are film makers and photographers telling you how to become masters of film making and photography. There are personal trainers telling you how to become a successful personal trainer. Real estate agents telling you how to be better real estate agents.

A few have a genuine interest and talent in teaching others. Most just didn't do a great job of what they were supposedly experts at, and saw an "opportunity" to make money by selling you on how to do that thing.

When was the last time one of the top photo or video YouTubers made something that wowed you?

Why You Should Compete in Powerlifting by TonyArkitect in powerlifting

[–]TonyArkitect[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made this video a while back for my clients. We have a lot of general fitness people that are a little "lost" when it comes to goals, so we try to help find them some purpose for their training and usually encourage Powerlifting.

If you know anyone that might be interested in Powerlifting but is on the fence, maybe this video might help motivate them.

Is there any indication why they swerved into your lane?

This was the lesson the Bernie campaigmer learned when he came knocking on my door this weekend.

Lol my first thought was "I don't think I've ever read any documents about Gulags from the CIA."

Yup. Im pretty sure i don't even want to know what happens when you "call out of work" when the state controls labor, housing and food...

Do i think someone should go to work with the flu? No. Do i think someone should be written up for being sick and missing work? No.

Do either of those things have to do with capitalism? Also no.

There was a hilarious thread in r/Anarchism where someone was complaining that their wife was "fired from her job for not going to work due to a contagious illness."

Turns out that illness was the flu. Turns out she wasn't fired, she quit because she was "written up" because she didn't find someone to cover her shift. Anyway, some how this was all capitalism's fault.

Setting the technical aspect aside, the way he writes reeks of pompous pseudo intellectualism.

Care to give a run down of what you like and don't like about the Fuji vs. the Sony?

Currently it's gotta be Marc and Jack. Jack's pole position at Argentina was one of the best laps of all time, IMO.


Photography Business by DONTSHOOt100 in smallbusiness

[–]TonyArkitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your query is way too broad. You need to specify.

What kind of photography do you do?

What do you mean by small scale?

Have you invested in any equipment or office space?

What do you mean by "getting started? Do you need help coming up with a name? Launching an ad campaign? Structuring the business?
