What’s wrong with a 12 year old texting their friends? I had unfettered internet access by then and I turned out fine.

That’s our secret, Captain. We’re all interested in any job. Any interaction you have that suggests otherwise is specifically designed to make you feel that way.

I have 2 points in response. First off, fuck cover letters. I don’t care if I’m applying to be CEO as an outside hire, you can get a feel for my personality at the interview, not through a sycophantic writing exercise. Second, I thought references were only allowed to confirm the dates you worked at a company, but that might depend on the region, I guess.

That’s fair. He kind of ruined the Martian audiobook for me, so I held a grudge.

Does he manage to make himself likable on page? It’s always been a struggle for him on screen. Or microphone. Or tweet.

Honestly, it’s my favorite argument tactic.

Fully agree. I wish people hadn’t started using their real names on the internet, it’s made privacy so much more of a concern than it had any reason to be in the age of @GoombaStomp69.

Why don’t you like getting replies? That’s the fun part!

I mean, you said yourself she’s working on TV. It’s definitely a step down from the height of her career, and it looks like I’ve never even heard of her most recent show. Pacino is definitely in washed up territory, I haven’t heard anything about him since Jack and Jill or maybe that weird de-aged Netflix movie. Cranston is different in that he’s primarily a TV actor whose work has only become more respected over his career, although apart from the Malcolm reboot I haven’t heard much from him, so perhaps he is in the process of becoming washed. It’s all a relative thing and I don’t think misogyny played as much of a role in this comment as you’re arguing.

EDIT: Reworded my last sentence because misogyny is definitely a huge problem in Hollywood, I just didn’t appreciate you jumping down comment OP’s throat.

Do you also dislike any movie with a male protagonist? Grow a thicker skin and realize that not everything is about you. I promise you’ll be happier in the long run.

Mods and power-tripping, name a more iconic duo.

I guess it depends on what you’re trying to achieve with reading. I want to experience a good story, or maybe learn something. Audiobooks do the job just fine, maybe better than text for me. If you think there’s inherent value in consuming text, then I can respect that, but it doesn’t discount the tremendous amount of value that audiobooks have in many people’s lives.

Most of the “real” memes that get posted are terrible, so I can’t say I mind too much.

My desktop is too old to run Windows 11.

The Holy Trinity normally refers to onion, celery, and green bell pepper, at least in Cajun cuisine.

There is almost always a button next to the title of the blog post that says “Jump to Recipe”. It works. I try to spread this knowledge whenever I see people complaining about the SEO essay.

They’re also basically rice krispie treats.

Don’t be evil 😈

Literally. It’s the bear thing all over again. If you’re offended by stuff like this, you’re basically telling on yourself.
