#also sorry for no posts of the writers tweet i legit cannot find it

[redysetdare]

Still thinking abt how huntsman never got a satisfying ending. Like ik a writer on the show said he did and that his whole arc was wrapped up in his decision to not leave but like... idk it did NOT seem like that AT ALL in the show.

Like when we see him looking at the tea bag???? that's supposed to be read as him deciding not to leave and THAT was our closure??? You gotta be fucking joking right???

Idk what i thought that scene was doing (and seems like a lot of ppl thought it was doing as well because someone had to actually ASK A WRITER ABOUT IT) was that him looking at the teabag was a jumping off point for a redemption arc. He had STARTED asking questions. He didn't show signs of being okay with the answers he got. It felt like a set up for MORE and then we just...didn't get it and we're supposed to just accept that?

And i get it. I get that not everything works out. sometimes shit goes wrong and not every character gets a happy ending...but then why even set up the possibility in the first place? we got ONE episode with him being like that and thennnn nothing? like usually this sort of thing is supposed to feel like a wrapped up arc y'know? cutting it short like this usually is never good unless you want ppl to be mad that a characters arc was cut short.

It just feels like the show didn't have enough episodes to explore everything they were setting up. It feels like if maybe there was more episodes we would've seen more of huntsman questioning everything that was happening and maybe even getting a redemption arc. But we'll never know because monkie kid is stuck to 10 episodes a season fsr and it kinda sucks that things just get dropped and never explored.

Freelance Jobs You Can Easily Do on Your Phone 💜

What skills can you use to make a legit income freelancing on your phone?  Well listen up, dear reader, because I have the tea on making money on mobile devices. Let’s start this article on Freelance Jobs you can do on your phone!

Are you a freelance beginner wondering if you can work as a freelancer with JUST a smartphone?

I can’t even blame you for being curious.

Freelancers are self-employed, independent bad asses.

I know when I started, I was looking for every and any way to get started. And compared to the 9-5 struggle, freelancing is a dream.

Make money with your smartphone

There are so many advantages to freelancing, such as:

Flexible work hours. Forget waking up at 8am.  Wake up at 1pm, have a mountain dew, and get cracking at your own time.

Say yes or no to whomever you please. Are you tired of dealing with Susan’s continual BS but can’t get away? There are no Susan’s to deal with in freelance work, because you choose who you work with.

Control how much you get paid. You can charge people for trying to rush you. Increase your prices if the work is tougher. You are in total control.

You provide a service to others based on their skills. They don’t have to deal with bosses when it comes to their projects.

Freelancing is also fantastic for side hustlers who want to earn a part time income.

It can be done from anywhere, so those who work from home or dream to work in Starbucks can do so if they please.

But let’s get back to the point. You’re probably wondering:

Can I work as freelancer from a smartphone?

The short answer: yep.

Your phone is basically full-fledged computer.  With built-in tools like internet access, text processing, and access to millions of free and paid apps, there is no reason that you can’t do freelance work from your phone. That’s right. Make money with your smartphone.

Let’s not forget that you also the ability to easily communicate with clients.  You have 24/7 access to clients through phone call, video, text, or email. Disadvantages of Freelancing on Your Smartphone

But it would be just plain irresponsible for me to not let you know the disadvantages ahead of time so that you’re prepared.

Some disadvantages include:

Your phone screen is quite tiny compared to a laptop or desktop monitor. This can be a huge pain. That is especially the case or jobs that require more screen space or having multiple programs and windows open.

Your phone also simply doesn’t have the same processing power as a desktop or laptop.

Some software is a lot harder to work in on the mobile app version

Mobile can glitch and overheat a lot easier than traditional computers

The battery life of smartphones is not as good as laptop computers, and sometimes having to stop to charge will be a huge disadvantage in time crunch situations

Still, with that being said, I would not try to discourage someone who is trying to become a freelancer and doesn’t have the resources yet to purchase a computer. For more info on getting yourself together, check out How to Stay Organized as a Freelance Beginner

Louis Riddick Wants Us to “Show Some Respect” for Fringe NFL Players

I agree with him.

He fired off this tweet last night, which popped up all over my timeline on Friday morning:

A lot of “big talk” about how poor, sorry, bad, not entertaining, etc week #4 of the #nfl preseason is…These men are busting their a$$ trying to accomplish something that could change their lives forever on the upside. Maybe show some respect?

— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) August 31, 2018

Yeah, week four of the preseason is pretty bad. The play is low quality, with a bunch of backup and peripheral guys just thrown out there and asked to make something happen. They don’t have much experience playing together and they’re tasked with executing vanilla offensive and defensive schemes. A few guys might be fighting for 53-man roster spots, but the majority are just “bodies” who exist primarily to bridge the gap from late August to week one of the NFL regular season.

So of course the complaints are valid. It’s not a good product on TV or live at the stadium. The ticket prices are too high. The concession prices are too high. The parking costs too much. Maybe those things should be drawn down in the preseason to be aligned with the quality of the experience you’re getting, which makes too much sense.

But it’s also corny to sit here and read about how much Christian Hackenberg “sucks” from people who probably can’t kick a football five feet or run the 40-yard dash without falling over dead. No, Christian Hackenberg is not a great quarterback, but I respect the hell out of the fact that the guy worked his way from a division one “Power Five” program to the NFL and is still trying to make it happen. I’m not going to shit on anybody who is good enough to find a way to Lincoln Financial Field, then go shove a recorder in his face after the game and pretend like I wasn’t just ripping him on Twitter.

It’s easy to criticize but much harder for people to give credit where it’s due, and trust me, coaches and athletes pay attention to that kind of stuff. They know who the shit talkers are. As a general rule of thumb, when a player or coach goes out of their way to tell you that they don’t read the stories or pay attention to social media, they usually read every single article and scan Twitter before and after a game.

That’s not to say that people who didn’t play in the NFL don’t know what they’re talking aboutf or can’t be critical of players. No, Howie Roseman didn’t play pro football, but he built a Super Bowl winning team. Fans and beat writers can learn the difference between cover 2, cover 3, and a 3-3-5 odd stack. You can be a fantastic journalist in many different ways, but obviously I’m going to favor Ike Reese’s opinion over Howard Eskin’s opinion if both guys are talking about proper block-shedding technique.

One thing I don’t think people understand is that it’s not just whether you played pro sports or didn’t. There are multiple layers to it. For example, some fans and media members grew up playing the sport and officiating the sport that they watch or cover. Some still do. I always felt like it was important to play and ref soccer if I was going to write about it, because I felt like it gave me more credibility. To that end, I’d hope I’m at least speaking from a position of personal experience when I explain that a center back is supposed to pass off a striker to his or her partner instead of following a mark across the field and getting crossed up. I don’t know half as much about the position as Jim Curtin does, but I’d hope the effort in at least learning and playing the game would benefit my work.

Likewise, I try to keep it simple on the Sixers beat, because I’m learning a different sport. I’ll write about some of the basic offensive sets I see on the floor, but I’m not going to sit here and try to tell you about the best way to dunk a basketball, because I can’t dunk a basketball.

Anyway, this is how players and coaches look at the outside world. They know that some fans and media are legit and some aren’t when it comes to specific topics. They appreciate when we can identify things that the average talking head cannot. Maybe that makes me sound like an total asshole, but I always just felt like learning the game you cover and attempting to actually play it should be the BARE MINIMUM expectation for an able-bodied media member.

I think sometimes we treat athletes like they exist solely for our entertainment, as if they’re caged up circus animals who are only released on Sunday or after our work day to give us a way to wind down. LeBron James should “shut up and dribble,” right? He’s only here to please us and give us basketball highlights like he’s some sort of automaton. But these guys aren’t automatons, they’re human beings with thoughts and emotions and memories, and if we’re gonna rip people because they “suck,” then we should at least try to give credit where it’s due.

Examples:

De’Andre Carter was an FCS All-American in 2014 and is still hustling on the NFL fringes.

He does not “suck.”

Donnel Pumphrey ran for 6,405 yards and 62 touchdowns in college.

He does not “suck.”

Joe Callahan went to a school you’ve never heard of and wound up getting some chances in the NFL.

He does not “suck.”

That’s really what Lou Riddick is talking about. He’s not talking about ticket prices or the TV product or the quality of play on the field. He’s just asking you to not be immediately dismissive of these guys and at least appreciate the hard work they’ve put in to get to this point in their careers.

He’s just asking you to show these guys a little bit of respect.
