The purpose of a system is what it does.

An underused word to be sure

I did what I could to earn enough money to pay my rent, support my pets, and put food on my table.

Also, my current views on ads have been largely formed in a gradual process over the last 5-7 years, while I’ve been working in VO long before then.

If it’s any consolation to you, AI has devoured most of my market in the last 3 years and left me with maybe 5-10% of the work I used to get.

you’re one of them

More accurately I WAS one of them, but people change 😊

It’s the smarmy, overly excited, commercial voices for me. And I’m saying that as a VO artist who’s produced HUNDREDS of smarmy, overly excited commercials over the years. I’m so sick of it. I’ve taken drastic steps to try and block all ads from my life. Somehow it’s never enough.

I find it’s actually increasingly difficult. More and more of these government thugs have access to private tailored services for LEOs which wipe their online presence entirely.

Where might I find more of this sort of thing please?

What’s the singular, then?

Drywall powder. Anything cheap, white, and powdered! Street coke in the US in 2024 is less than 50% pure.

This is not the brat summer I’ve been hearing about, I assume?

Anything to make the line go up. Nothing else matters. This applies across all industries in the US.

Nahh, an article can present a point of view we deem to be “correct” while still engaging in clickbait and sensationalism. I’m not interested in clickbait or sensationalism, so I find that my filtering methods do a pretty good job of getting rid of most of the trash.

That too, I can’t believe some of my friends bar tabs. Who drops a couple hundred bucks a night in this economy? Many people, that’s who.
