Given a post that is a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation and an associated claim about its type, verify if the claim is true or not. The claim asks if the posts are historical or hypothetical. The posts are "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and they are "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future. Say 'yes' if the claim is true otherwise say 'no'
One example: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Background: I have ocd and the only contamination issue I have is around food. Both parents know this. What has lead me to ask this question is this mornings reaction from parent B.

This morning parent b offered to make me breakfast, I responded how I always do: that’s very kind but I’m happy to come make it myself. Parent b said it was no trouble. I accepted. Two slices of toast came and apu I check the toast for signs of mould. First piece had no issues, I ate it. Second piece however had something green growing on the edge. I cut this bit off but I couldn’t shake in my head that the whole piece must be contaminated and so I took the toast back and apologised that I couldn’t eat it cos of the mould and we checked the date on the bread and it said the 30th December. Nearly a week past its best before. Parent b apologised and we threw it away. No drama.

Nearly identical situation occurred about 6 months ago with parent a. Parent a offered to make me a toasted sandwich. I said that would be very kind but I was happy to make it myself. Parent a said it was no problem, I accepted. When the sandwich came I checked the bread for mould and found green and white stuff growing down one side of the bread. I take it back to the kitchen and explain that it has mould and I’m sorry but I can’t eat it. I will make myself something else. Parent a goes ballistic. I’m “ungrateful and don’t trust them and did I really think they’d feed me mould?” I pointed out the mould- clearly visible. “Well someone must’ve not sealed the bread package properly (ie me) and that’s how it got mouldy.” I asked if parent a had checked the date and that just seemed to escalate their reaction. They stormed out screaming and crying. I checked the bread date and it was 2 or 3 days past the best before.

Aita in either situation? Parent a’s reaction made me think I was. But now I’ve had the same situation with parent b and they didn’t get angry or pissed off maybe I wasn’t the asshole? Obviously I think I need to just make my own food. Then I can’t cause trouble.
Solution is here: yes
Explanation: The post clearly mentions an event in the past when the author asked some questions to his/her parents and also describes about their reactions on that day. Hence this should be HISTORICAL.

Now, solve this: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : So, I am using a throwaway because VFX is very Non Disclosure Agreement driven and I could lose my job over breaking an NDA. I don't think this will break any but the discussion is there nonetheless.   


So this guy I used to work with a couple of years ago contacted me on Linkedin a couple of hours ago and we had a discussion mainly about what we were up to and what we have been doing, etc. This guy has been in the industry since 2004, so he has ample amounts of experience and connections. I have only been working in this industry for almost 4 years today. One of the problems with this industry is that getting a foot in the door is incredibly difficult for the first couple of years. There are tons of students that don't end up making it into the industry and a bunch of people who leave it by their 2nd year of doing this. It isn't for everyone and there isn't that much payoff for doing this. So to get into a studio, you need a reel/portfolio. Essentially what you have done either in school or in other studios. And a lot of the jobs are freelancing, so for me, I was having to jump from studio to studio a lot.   


For the last 3 months, I left my job so that I could work on my reel so I can get a better job closer to what I want to do. This is where we start getting into an argument. In the last 4 years of work, I have had only one project in a studio that has come out that I can put my name on and publicly share. He has had multiple shows and movies come out and says " ive got so much poftfolio materisla, i dont even know what to do with it " and "This is the issue, juniors isnt savvy at business, they dont looks the long term effects, dude i turned down a $75/hr job. shouldnt be hard to find one at 14/hr." English isn't his first language but you get the idea. He went on to explain that he has been turning down jobs left and right where I can't even get an interview. I can't get junior positions because I have too much experience. So I usually go out of my way to help Junior Artists. I will give them contacts to studios I used to work in, I will call up friends, just reach out in general, because it's rough in this field. So one of the guys I helped is about a year in the industry and worked with this guy. He drives Uber to make enough to meet rent after moving to LA from the Mid West. I'm just trying to get at that the work can be scarce for people with nothing to show for it.   


I actually just got a message from a staffing agency that says " Such a bummer how long it can take to get work released to artists... \*studio redacted\* is looking for portfolios with professional work so I'm afraid it won't be a good fit this time around. Let's stay in touch and see what else comes around."   


So we were discussing reels and he brings up " well, these compnay dont even looks at my reel, they just asked for my resume or linkedin profile" which is fair because he is a senior artist, they know he can do the job. He then explains that he still likes making a reel because he likes seeing his hard work in a video, but then he says its for his ego. This is where I kind of lose my shit, I told him that I don't care about ego, I just need it for work. To which, we are now in a "I was paying my dues when I was in your position, I dont even try to do high profile work, because i know where my skills are, when I was in your position, i was paying my dues." I actually don't know what he means because he was with his first studio for 8 years. I respond with that this case is kind of rare in that an artist can work 4 years with almost nothing to show for it, it doesnt happen often. I have worked on 3-4 pitches which you cant show, a couple of Marvel films with only one having released in theaters, and a bunch of stuff that is heavily NDA'd. The things I am allowed to show from the Marvel film are very small snippets because most of the work I did did not make it into the final cut.   


He then explained that I put myself into this position, which while true, is also a little bit of a dick move. "Its your fault to take the job, you can always say no and move on. It's business and you have to learn to walk away. Just last week I turned down 3 job offers." So I reiterated  " I dont think youre getting it, I cant even get one job offer when you are turning them down. I spend months waiting for one so I am not going to say no to that job, regardless of what the NDA situation is. I have bills and student loans, I can't wait for the perfect job." And then this comes down to "maybe do a few small projects where you can showcase your skills, like a cheap independent production, or something short that doesn't pay well." My biggest issue with some of this is, I have had between 60 and 90 hour weeks regularly, when I get home, I don't have any time to work on anything on the side. The problem with this to me is that the starting salary for a Junior artist is around $20-30/hr, which isn't much in Los Angeles. So once you have the student loans, rent, living expenses; a lot of the studios are in pretty high traffic and expensive areas for food, and then you have to be paid not enough to afford the bare essentials, it's awful. My first year in this industry, I was living with my parents, having a 2 hour commute one way, and working 50-60 hours a week for $17/hr, so I knew it was awful. I have a couple hundred bucks left in my savings so I am starting to get more and more desperate for work, so to hear that its completely justified to him that a competitive industry like this, in an expensive city, where there are hundreds of applicants and only one person gets the job, its rough. Having him say that I should pick and choose the shows I work on pisses me off. I havent had a vacation in 4 years, I have been just barely above debt. At the most, I had about $6,000 in savings, I actually thought I might have a vacation this year, but beggars cant be choosers.   


So this is where I asked him "Should I have to eat shit for years for a chance to have a steak?" Honestly, not my best analogy, but I think it gets the point across. To which he replies " okay man, this started to not getting productive, so im going to block you now. I hope you get help mentally. There is free service to get a shrink, and hope you can get this straightened out." Completely came out of nowhere. I was pretty much speechless, but fuck him.   


I can see where he's coming from, but the industry kind of boomed when he started. He has never had the same kind of struggle to find work. The part I don't understand is that he doesnt have the empathy to realize that because he can turn away work, that its just that easy for juniors and mid level artists. Sometimes, the plan doesnt work out and 4 years later, you have very little to show for it.

TL DR; Old Coworker is turning down work and can pick and choose what projects he works on, I wish I could just get a job, but almost everything I have worked on I cant show. Because I cant show the stuff I worked on because of NDA's, I can't get interviews at a couple of studios that I have applied to. Old Coworker thinks that because I'm frustrated with this system, I should get mental health help. AITA?
