@Stardust317 Being qualified is literally the bare minimum. In an entry level position, you don't even need to be qualified. The truth is, most people can learn to do most jobs. In most cases, employers are looking for someone worth training rather than someone who already knows how to do it.
@bevil48513@libby_barts During a service? Yes, it is absolutely considered disrespectful to be drinking water. Tbh, most of you don't seem nearly as autistic as you do narcissistic.
@sabradaze No less than Harlan Ellison recorded an audiobook of it which he reads like he's reciting it from memory around a campfire and it is nothing short of exhilarating. Strongly recommend.
@sydneyjanexo Last year I watched a queer space in LA that had not even opened yet get piled on by people who don't even live here and had no plans to visit. The owners tried to be polite at first but ultimately just had to start deleting people's unhinged comments.
@sydneyjanexo The same space‐‐a cafe, bar, and restaurant‐‐also had to deal with (mostly the same) people wrongly and angrily insisting that "third spaces" can't be places where people are expected to spend money.
@TwinkTheory@fkatims Yeah, but that has nothing to do with why this specific person couldn't visit Cuba. The current Cuban government does not detain or jail people whose grandparents were Batistianos.
@colemanjspilde I'll even defend Gerard Butler in this. It was ultimately the wrong choice, but it was a big swing, and I suspect he was cast because Webber had initially conceived of the Phantom as having a rock voice, envisioning Meat Loaf in the role.
@mary_pezzulo Some stories are "strong" (for lack of a better word) enough to handle high-concept reinterpretation. The Narnia stories do not fall into that category.
@himbopresident@superinducting I comprehend that studies show this, but the problem has to be implementation. There's no way learning a skill, practicing it on your own for a bit, and then checking to see that your practice was done correctly, does not have any impact on your ability to do that skill.
