Did anyone experience violence as a goth?

Experience

I've not seen this discussed much here, but growing up I had my head kicked in a fair few times for looking goth. I recall trying to cross a field, and some guys thought my hair was dyed, so they kicked my nose in. I tried to argue in my defence. I got booted in the head.

I remember my dad shouting at me for upsetting my mother for teasing my hair and wearing lipstick (I wanted to look like Rob Smith).

I remember after Sophie Lancaster died my dad hugged me so tight and apologised for shouting at me. He said he didn't want me hurt and he thought that the way I dressed would lead to me being hurt. I love my dad and understand where he was coming from.

I enjoy this community, but I wanted t

Advice on investing according to my ethical values

I have a firm belief that I shouldn't profit off of other people's work based on ownership. That is a personal stance and not something I wish to discuss here.

I don't like the idea of buying the rights to the surplus value of someone's work in perpetuity.

What I would like to do is help new companies get capital by investing in a way where I loan them money with interest and they can pay it off and regain ownership of the business over time.

Can anyone advise me on how I can do this?

I know this isn't the best way to grow wealth for myself, but it is what I would prefer to do.

A question for those who developed VSS later in life who work in film/tv

Does me VSS pose a problem to me working as a DIT? My job requires acute colour recognition and seeing if a shot is in sharp focus.

I don't know what I don't know. So perhaps my vision is a problem.

Not so long ago I was working with an aspiring DIT, but it turned out he was red/green colourblind and never knew. Seeing him come to the conclusion he could never be a DIT on anything other than a Nolan film (and Nolan only shoots on film) was awful.

I wonder if my own VSS (which is all I've ever known) might be an issue for me in my line of work.

Why do Sound Technicians have so few memory cards?

Question

I'm speaking as a DIT here. On most jobs I cannot return any media to the camera/sound department until I get approval from Edit/the lab to say that they have all the footage/audio securely backed up.

Yet time and time again I get sound technicians hand me a card and then expect me to hand it straight back to them after my initial copy, or bitch about the delay it takes for Edit/the lab to give approval to clear that media.

When I've explained the clearance protocol (which seems pretty standardised and takes at least a day) I often get told that they only have 2 cards and I should return their card right then and there.

I appreciate that the camera team are using rental mags, and soun

Why can't people wrap their heads around platonic relationships?!

NSFW

I just got grilled by a friend about the fact that he took a woman out for a date over a year ago, and on that date I knew her from back in the day so I asked if we could exchange numbers. He said he had to have his guard up around me with women now.

I admit that it was a dick move to draw her attention away from him when I should've been his hype man, but I did not like the insinuation that I did it because I wanted to try it on with her. I just thought she was cool.

The majority of my closest friendships are with women. Women I've shared a bed with without "anything" happening.

I get this shit all the time from people saying that I am only doing things/are nice to women because I want
