Oh man, that's rough. I heard somewhere that in high heat you gotta wait way longer before stripping supports, something about the mortar drying too fast on the surface while the inside stays soft. Did the whole thing just pancake down?

Ha, @brianm66 I've been on enough sets to tell you prop guys are usually way too careful with timepieces to let a full second slip like that. If it's a continuity error, someone would've caught it in the edit, especially on a detail that specific.

Wait no way, that makes it even crazier actually @leehall! They straight up told you the personal story was the reason? I would have been so confused if someone told me that. Like how does mentioning a specific treatment suddenly make the whole thing about the person? I've seen that happen before where people get defensive about treatments they've tried too. It's wild how sensitive some folks get about stuff like that.

The convenience store thing is a trap because they design the whole checkout experience to make you grab extras while you're waiting. That $150 a month could be a whole car insurance payment or a decent phone bill, and you're literally flushing it down the toilet for sugar and caffeine. Once you start thinking of those impulse buys as "monthly bills" instead of "small treats," it changes how you look at every single purchase.

$50 for a course that's just recycled YouTube links should be illegal, but the real question is why people keep treating online courses as shortcuts instead of actual skills. Deepfake detection is just critical thinking applied to video, and no paid guru can teach you that overnight. Might be time to treat these splashy ads like you would a suspicious listing and walk away before handing over your money.
