I can’t speak for all art related jobs in LA, but if your work in visual effects, concept art, or games, your portfolio should be on Artstation. A well-designed custom site or Wordpress is also acceptable, but not preferred.

Running an Instragram account is often a great idea for an artist. But the needs of a social media account (which needs a steady stream of content to maintain engagement) are very different from the needs of a portfolio (which should just show the best of the best of your work).

But why? There are a ton of great free portfolio sites that look and navigate better then that.

The only reason would be if you want to contribute more than the maximum IRA contribution.

It never says she didn’t have permission to have overnight guests; she probably did. She just, quite possibly unknowingly, crossed the line concerning how often/long it was acceptable to have them over.

No landlord would charge more based on number of people for an apartment (I think it’s illegal), but if it’s a room in a house with a shared kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and utilities charging more for extra inhabitants is totally reasonable.

Waiting five minutes to reply to a text comes with absolutely no risk of screwing up any of my real-life relationships.

Yeah, there are things important enough that you need to stop playing the game to address them, and there are things that can wait a few minutes until the game is done. There isn’t a whole lot in-between those two.

It’s eleven cents per piece, pretty typical for a licensed set. I think nostalgia might be effecting your memory of the sets from your childhood.

It’s a verifiably false statement.

The notion that “rule of thumb” originally refereed to it being legal to beat women with thumb-width sticks is almost certainly a myth. There’s no historical record of such a usage, and plenty of benign uses of the phrase going back centuries.

Judging by how heavy the SpaceX recruiter presence at GDC is, a lot of people at SpaceX come from a games background.

I’m not seeing the part where they said their kids weren’t allowed to use computers.

I mean, you did go there. And you clearly have a dubious understanding of how much money people in the trades make, and the relevance of experience actually building things to, say, engineering.

I remember someone advising you should read one, and only one, book on parenting. Exactly which one is less important, so long as it generally aligns with your values, and adding additional books (possibly excepting books focused of very specific issues) just adds confusion.

I think the same thing applies with product…

In theory, it’s supposed to be a supplement to out of pocket spending (thus the S in the name SNAP), so it’s not based on actual food costs.

Of course, in practice, many people can’t afford to spend any out of pocket money on food.

It’s a great movies, but I can’t imagine wanting to watch it more than once.
