Watcher's Expenses

I didn't major in accounting: I took three classes and it grinded my brain to a fine powder. However, after graduating with a business admin degree, being a former eager fan of their videos, and from a cursory glance over their socials, there's a lot to consider in their spending behavior that really could start racking up costs. Some of these things we've already noticed, but there are other things I'd like to highlight, and I'll try to break it down into the different categories of accounting expenses (if I get something wrong, let me know. I was more concentrated in marketing 🤷‍♀️). I'm not going to hypothesize numbers either, as that would take out more time than I'm willing to afford-- you can assume how much everything costs. Anyways, here's my attempt at being a layman forensic accountant:

Note: All of this is assuming they're operating above board and not engaging in any illegal practices such as money laundering, tax evasion, not paying rent, etc.

Operating Expenses

Payroll: 25+ staff salaries and insurance

Overhead Expenses

CEO/founder salaries

Office space leasing or rent (In L.A, one of the most expensive cities in the US)

Utilities (water, electricity, heating, sanitation, etc.)

Insurance

Advertising Costs

Telephone & Internet service

Cloud Storage or mainframe

Office equipment (furniture, computers, printers, etc.)

Office supplies (paper, pens, printer ink, etc.)

Marketing costs (Social media marketing on Instagram, Youtube, SEO for search engines, Twitter, etc. Designing merchandise and posters, art, etc. )

Human Resources (not sure how equipped they are)

Accounting fees

Property taxes

Legal fees

Licensing fees

Website maintenance (For Watchertv.com, Watcherstuff.com, & Watcherentertainment.com)

Expenses regarding merchandising (whoever they contract or outsource for that)

Inventory costs

Potentially maintenance of company vehicles

Subsequent gas mileage for road trips

Depreciation (pertains to tangible assets like buildings and equipment)

Amortization (intangible assets such as patents and trademarks)

Overhead Travel and Entertainment Costs (I think one of the biggest culprits, evident in their videos and posts)

The travel expenses (flights, train trips, rental cars, etc. For main team and scouts)

Hotel expenses for 7-8 people at least, or potentially more

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners with the crew (whether that's fully on their dime or not, I don't know; Ryan stated they like to cover that for the most part)

Recreational activities (vacation destinations, amusement parks, sporting activities etc.)

The location fees

Extraneous Overhead costs (not sure exactly where these fall under, but another culprit, evident in videos and posts)

Paying for guest appearances

Expensive filming & recording equipment (Cameras, sound equipment, editing software subscriptions, etc.)

The overelaborate sets for Ghost files, Mystery Files, Puppet History, Podcasts etc. (Set dressing: Vintage memorabilia, antiquated tech, vintage furniture, props, etc.)

Kitchen & Cooking supplies/equipment

Office food supply; expensive food and drink purchases for videos

Novelty items or miscellaneous purchases (ex. Ghost hunting equipment, outfits, toys, etc.)

Non-Operating Expenses

These are those expenses that cannot be linked back to operating revenue. One of the most common examples of non-operating expenses is interest expense. This is because while interest is the cost of borrowing money from a creditor or a bank, they are not generating any operating income. This makes interest payments a part of non-operating expenses.

Financial Expenses

Potential loan payments, borrowing from creditors or lenders, bank loans, etc.

Variable Expenses

Hiring a large amount of freelancers, overtime expenditure, commissions, etc.

PR consultations (Not sure if they had this before the scandal)

Extraordinary Expenses

Expenses incurred outside your company’s regular business activities and during a large one-time event or transactions. For example, selling land, disposal of a significant asset, laying off of your employees, unexpected machine repairing or replacement, etc.

Accrued Expenses

When your business has incurred an expense but not yet paid for it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(If there's anything else I'm missing, please feel free to add or correct things)

To a novice or a young entrepreneur, this can be very intimidating if you don't have the education or the support to manage it properly. I know it intimidates the hell out of me and I'm still having to fill in the gaps (again, if I've mislabeled or gotten anything wrong here, please let me know). For the artistic or creative entrepreneur, it can be even harder to reconcile the extent of your creative passions with your ability to operate and scale your business at a sustainable rate. That can lead to irresponsible, selfish, and impulsive decisions that could irreparably harm your brand, which is a whole other beast of its own.

My guess at this point is that their overhead and operation expenses are woefully mismanaged; they've made way too many extraneous purchases, and that they had too much confidence in their audience of formerly 2.93 million to make up for the expenses they failed to cover.

It almost seems as if their internal logic was, "If we make more money, we can keep living the expensive lifestyle that we want and make whatever we want without anyone telling us we can't, and we want to do it NOW, sooner rather than later because we don't want wait and compromise our vision." But as you can see, the reality of fulfilling those ambitions is already compromised by the responsibility of running a business.

And I wrote this in another post here, but I'll state it again: Running a business means you need to be educated on how a business can successfully and efficiently operate. Accounting, marketing, social media marketing, public relations, production, etc; these resources and internet of things is available and at your disposal. If they had invested more time in educating themselves on those aspects and not made this decision based on artistic passion (and/or greed), they would have not gotten the response they got.

Being a graphic designer, I know the creative/passionate side of things but I also got a degree/got educated in business because I wanted to understand how to start a company and run it successfully. If they’re having trouble handling the responsibility of doing that, managing production costs, managing overhead expenses, and especially with compensating their 25+ employees, then they should hire professionals that are sympathetic to their creative interests, but have the education and experience to reign in bad decisions like these.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TedTalk. What a shitshow this has been.

[bitchesgetriches]

Hello, bitches! I don't think I saw this in the renter's master post, but how does one go about breaking a lease in the least financially ruinous way possible? My apartment flooded for the 3rd time in 12 months due to an improper drainage system, and I am FED UP. I have family telling me to sue over it, but I'd be content if they let me break the lease without fees or penalties.

If your apartment keeps flooding and your landlord has not fixed the problem... then your LANDLORD HAS ALREADY BROKEN YOUR LEASE.

A lease is a legal contract. Which means the landlord AND tenant both have responsibilities in order to keep the contract valid. There is usually language in there about the landlord keeping the unit in good maintenance. Constant flooding is NOT good maintenance. And if your property has been damaged by the flooding, the landlord could actually owe YOU, either for temporary housing or replacement of property.

So go read your lease, find the clause about maintenance, and take it to your landlord and say "According to this clause right here, you're in violation of our rental agreement. Therefore, I am moving out without penalty. If you'd like to discuss this, I'll have my lawyer get in touch." (Note: not everyone can afford a lawyer, but if you know anyone even tangentially related to a law firm, use the line about the lawyer. My husband's uncle and aunt are lawyers and the one time I used this line to resolve a labor dispute, it scared the bastard so much that they stopped their bullshit and paid me for my work with no further argument.)

Lastly: we are not infallible. Your state government website should have a section on tenant's rights. Look up this information to see if there are any other protections you can take advantage of before going nuclear on your shitty landlord.

Lil Kalish, Matt Shuham, and Jonathan Cohn at HuffPost:

The Trump administration on Friday appeared to take down data and information from a variety of government websites, with a focus on information related to gender diversity, sexual health and climate change. In some cases entire websites disappeared. Others remained online, but had critical information missing. The changes to government websites, as well as the blockages in the flow of grant money the administration announced earlier this week, appeared part of a whole-of-government effort to erase mention of topics deemed incompatible with President Donald Trump’s executive orders seeking to marginalize transgender people and pushing back against material purportedly associated with “DEIA,” or diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, initiatives. Among the many affected websites Friday: The U.S. Census Bureau’s homepage, which appeared to be experiencing intermittent outages. Compared to archived versions, the National Institutes of Health Office on Research and Women’s Health appeared significantly pared down, as was the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventions’ Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which returned an error when accessed Friday evening. NPR noted the program is “the nation’s largest monitoring program on health-related behaviors among high schoolers.”

The Bureau of Prisons website now displays only male and female populations. It used to include data on the number of trans people in custody, according to an archived version. Numerous webpages for the CDC’s HIV prevention division, especially those about efforts to address health disparities among Black, Latino and transgender communities, were not online. By Friday, the main webpage for HIV, HIV data, details about “Ending the HIV Epidemic,” and information on PrEP, the preventive drug used to reduce the risk, were also not available. Other CDC sites about LGBTQ youth, including pages focused on risks of suicide among LGBTQ children, school safety, and health disparities were all still inaccessible as of Friday night. Similarly, Target HIV, a website that provides technical assistance and training resources to agencies and medical facilities that receive federal funding from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program — which is run by HHS to provide treatment to low-income people living with HIV — was “under maintenance.” The deletions are part of a wider ideological purge undertaken by the Trump administration and fulfill some of the policy promises outlined in Project 2025. Over the last week Trump signed several executive orders barring federally funded hospitals and clinics from providing gender health care to trans people younger than 19; requiring the promotion of “patriotic education” while limiting any teaching of any material that includes “gender ideology,” broadly defined; and redefining “sex” to exclude transgender people from legal recognition. Already, Trump’s directives have halted coverage of gender-affirming for youth on federal insurance plans.

[...] Outside contractors working with one agency were told to terminate any government contracts that “promote or inculcate gender ideology” and included a list of words including “gender, transgender, inclusivity, nonbinary” and “they/them” pronouns, according to a separate email obtained by HuffPost. [...] The crackdown also extended to government-funded research: Science reported Thursday that the National Science Foundation had frozen previously-promised funding to an unknown number of its thousands of grant recipients, searching for research work deemed in violation of Trump’s new rules against “woke gender ideology,” diversity efforts and similar edicts.

Numerous websites have gone dark and/or removed key information on health and equity due to the Project 2025-inspired censoring of gender diversity, sexual health, and climate change-related content by the Trump Regime.

It depends on the jurisdiction you're in, but generally contracts can't be 'undone' unless by a specified clause in the contract itself and they are, instead, 'breaking' the contract which should have specified penalties in the contract itself. Some places do have 'cooling off' periods though, for certain types of contracts (not rental, generally afaik), so you'd need to check the local laws on that? Are there local groups that support renters? They may have better information and resources.

Update: talked to the leasing office. They claim it is because they have a new website and the lease renewal was only executed on the old one and not on the new one. Theoretically, I only have to sign an exact copy of the lease I already signed, but I will be reading it VERY carefully and emailing the building manager if there are any discrepancies. Frankly, this is still fishy, and it is par for the course that they don't communicate shit (my lease was supposed to renew on the 14th, I paid through the 14th at the start of the month, and then on the 7th they tried to be cute and stick a "30 Day Notice For Payment Or Possession" on my door in the dead of night. After I spent much of the summer without air conditioning and have had going on a month with very little hot water because of how fucking slow they are with maintenance. But because of how much of a hassle it would be to move and because I can't find anything cheaper in this overpriced city hellscape, SO.)

ANYWAY. I feel bad for the very nice front desk lady, who has been very sympathetic and tried to help me, but obviously cannot do anything about higher-up corporate bullshit. Story of everyone's life.

Basically, I will be reading the lease carefully and making sure it is COMPLETELY identical; if not, I will email the property manager and/or see if any pro bono help or employee resources can be solicited from the university's law school. We also had to last-minute push back our meeting with the department chairs tomorrow by another hour since they want to have a budget meeting with the deans first, whereupon I suspect the underlying message will be "there's no money for raises, so just keep working/running the whole college for your same shit wage" and I am. Preemptively Not A Fan. I would love to be wrong. But.

Thanks for this, though, and for letting me vent a little. Adulting, man. What a ripoff.

[aesethewitch]

Hello. :) Thank you for answering my question. I am the anonymous who asked you about rituals to destroy the forum. The forum is large enough, on average every day it has about 800 users, 100-130 of which are registered members. Not so long ago, this forum has already fallen into the shadow ban, but came out of it. I also know the ip of the forum, but the information about the provider and hosting by the owners is hidden. I also thought about creating some bugs with rituals or sigils to crash the forum and completely close its activity, but I couldn't find something concrete.

This is a follow-up to this published ask.

Hi again!

The IP address would be a really solid taglock for any sort of spell targeting the server. It's pretty common for the host to be hidden, so I'm not surprised there.

I presume you're looking to do this because of something rotten going on in the forum. While I won't write out a whole spell for you, as that would require information about your practice/preferred methods, here's what I would do in a general sense:

Collect information such as that IP address, key icons and usernames from moderators/admins, the forum's icon, the website URL, and anything else that could serve as a taglock.

Decide what I want to happen and how I'd like that to manifest. With just the information you've provided, I would personally go for something to cause bugs in the forum's code to crash it or to cause enough strife that the socialization in that space implodes. Depending on your reasons and where the server is hosted (Reddit vs personal website, for example), it may be easier to do the social route than the code route. A combination might also be solid, but I would personally do separate workings for that to maximize efficiency per goal.

Consider loopholes and possible issues. If this is a forum of magical practitioners, it may have protections against magical interference, for example. A way around this particular example would be to cast a spell on an otherwise normal-appearing post that I would personally publish to the forum. The post would, on its surface, be normal, and therefore perhaps bypass their protections. However, like a mold, it would spread the spell's rotting effect throughout the forum.

Determine my most powerful option for casting the spell. I tend toward candles and sigils or petitions for baneful workings. If I were to go the "make a post infected with baneful magic" route, I'd either create a rot jar connected to the post itself (turning the post into a sort of pathogenic curse) or write out a cipher and hide it inside the text. (The cipher hidden in text thing is really useful for working corporate/business email magic, btw. Highly recommend.)

Write out my steps, gather my materials, and cast. I might ask for a spirit's help in making the spell stick, work, and then continue to work in exchange for payment. I might also program the spell to be powered by something like new posts being made in the forum or bad behavior, cannibalizing their nonsense to create my chosen repercussions.

Perform maintenance, provide payments to any spirits contracted, and forget it for a while. I might check in later to see how it's going and whether I need to try something else or do more aggressive upkeep.

Hopefully this helps point you in the right direction! Good luck!

cat: spend more active playtime with her during the week. harness training. see if she's interested in some other training

long term plans: give some serious thought to a phd when I leave my current job (which, ideally, will not be soon)

Florida Bill Would Require Mass Biological Sex Affidavits, Ending All Trans Legal Recognition

The bill, if passed, would end all trans legal recognition and would require all Floridians to sign "biological sex affidavits" when renewing their licenses.

In one of the most extreme bills of the last decade targeting transgender individuals, a new bill introduced on Thursday afternoon in Florida seeks to end all legal recognition of transgender people and mandates mass biological sex affidavits for both transgender and cisgender Floridians. These affidavits would be necessary at the DMV for license renewals, enabling the state to gather records of the biological sex of all individuals in Florida who apply for driver's licenses. The affidavits could allow the state to compile lists of transgender people with Florida driver's licenses. They could then be used to enforce other anti-trans laws in the state. Additionally, the bill would impact every law in Florida that references sex, effectively removing all legal recognition of transgender people in the state.

The description of the bill on the Florida Senate website:

I am so, so fucking tired of the word "luxury" when it comes to housing.

My absolutely horrendous apartment complex, which lays claim to that word on its website, gave me the second-worst anxiety attack I've had since I've lived here today, because of its mismanagement (which incidentally, violates my leasing contract, but probably the best I could really get done pursuing that legally is getting out the lease early without penalty).

My bathroom sink cold faucet barely works, since I moved in over a year ago (I don't place maintenance calls for things that aren't catastrophic issues because I hate having most PEOPLE in my living space, let alone fucking strangers, which was my main issue today). My shower water pressure is just depressing. My kitchen appliances also suck. In terms of amenities, it's anyone's guess at any given time whether the laundry room that's actually near me will be functional. The swimming pool has been closed since I moved in a year and a half ago (not that I'd be using it, but still.)

But this is a luxury apartment complex. Apparently the luxury is rent that's affordable on a 50kish salary (which is not at all appropriate for the engineering PhD I have, or really anyone, because hello social safety net where??? UBI when?), but that's another problem) and not much else.

L O fucking L.

I'm paying at least $400 more in rent and fees for this shithole than I ever did in this city in grad school (2010-2016), and even just the apartment itself when nothing critical is broken and we're disregarding how incompetent management is, is the worst I've ever lived in. Thanks, I hate it.

Using Notion as Second Brain for Job Hunting

Not really something I learned today, but something I've been trying over the last few days. My employer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy two months ago, and last weekend we learned that the winning bid in the bankruptcy sale auction - by a long shot - was our competitor wanting to scoop up our customer contracts, but not the actual service infrastructure or the engineers needed to operate it. That means the entire company itself is about to be no more, and my colleagues and I are about to all lose our jobs.

I hadn't job-hunted for almost a decade at this point, and Notion certainly did not exist back then. The concept of a second brain was completely foreign to me, but after starting to use Notion for my daily log at work, it was a natural progression to putting my entire personal work knowledgebase on Notion (and then sharing that knowledgebase with my colleagues), and then also using Notion as my personal second brain to record my "worknotes", a concept I got from the internal notes we write into the support tickets we handle at work.

So I guess it's only natural that I started using Notion to record my job hunt.

I had recently figured out how to use database relations and had been going crazy linking two database together - the violins in the family versus their maintenance records, my wife's artwork versus the exhibits at which they were exhibited, my daily work diary versus worknotes for a manual global configuration push that I do a couple times a month. For tracking my job applications I ended up with three interconnected databases (one more than my usual fare!): one tracking applications, one tracking recruiters/websites from whence they originated, and one tracking the recruiter conversations and interviews for each application. I did briefly wonder if maintaining separate pages for each call/interview (because Notion database entries are each individual pages) is necessary, but piling all my conversation notes into one single application page will probably make that page really, really scrolly.

No, I will not be creating a template for sharing :)
