I feel like movies are barely playing in theatres before they're out on streaming! Do you think this is hurting or helping our industry?

I don't think there's any other option. Movies start showing up on torrent sites a day or two after they are first released in theatre. It makes more sense to try and capture the revenue by releasing it quickly, rather than waiting till everyone has already seen it illegally.

That's a very good point, guess you got to strike the market whilst you can!

It hurts theatres for sure but unfortunately I think it’s far more profitable for studios to do it that way.

Oh totally, all they think about is profit!

It’s definitely hurting the theatrical industry but unfortunately the average person would much rather stay and watch at home nowadays so maybe streaming is where the money is?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides.

The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
