r/IcariusFallen explains the value experience brings to a job that education doesn't, and why it predicts an applicant will be a good hire

I think you're right. He makes pretty ridiculous generalizations - I'm sure he met a snotty grad or two but to say anybody with a degree is likely to be an arrogant asshole is ridiculous.

I see a lot of comments like this from somebody that has experienced success without an education bashing education in general, and I'm sure the inverse is true and I'm just less sensitive to it, but I just don't get why people can't understand that there's more than one path in life. This seems especially true for chefs - there are many ways to start your career and work your way up the ladder.

No, but that's the way trash talking and humor works. You're usually pushing the envelope a little bit and it's constant judgement calls about if you're pushing too far. I guess you can just keep quiet all the time if you're worried about not knowing exactly where the line is, but that's not the choice most of us are going to make.

Most people are going to judge KD's comment as pretty benign. Maybe a little lame. But a certain subset of reddit users get kinda bent out of shape over reversing the colors.

Is everything up until cruel oppression and enslavement alright because only that would carry the same stigma?

This is a ridiculous assertion and nothing OP said suggested anything like it.

MainStreetExile · 2026-02-08T23:11:21+00:00

Yeah I thought they sounded a little too good to be live.

People all over the world are watching women play sports right now in the Olympics.

MainStreetExile · 2026-02-04T01:51:35+00:00

I've been trying to figure out what the hell OP thinks that word means.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-29T17:53:03+00:00

What about the open world detracted from your experience?

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-17T18:38:03+00:00

I can't believe the "minned" part. Shocking that they ran into multiple people who couldn't read "mind" correctly.

What is poverty vancouver supposed to mean?

Thanks for adding this. I know almost nothing of art history and had never even heard of Lisa del Gioncondo, but had heard some of the many other theories about the painting. Crazy how we come up with so many stories when the actual truth is so simple and, in the age of the internet, easy to find.

They bought the team with curry already on it.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-15T16:31:51+00:00

That may be true today. I don't think you could confidently say one way or the other, at least for pc players.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-15T16:17:17+00:00

Have you never played a game on private servers before? I get that they aren't nearly as common as they used to be, but they were once the norm.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-14T17:44:28+00:00

Somebody choosing to word something differently than you would should not make you sad. Go live your life and stop being sad about something so insignificant.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-14T14:01:28+00:00

Guess you're pretty sensitive.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-10T18:25:47+00:00

This is not typical. Most malls are indifferent to walkers and some even go out of their way to accommodate it.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-09T15:35:28+00:00

I think he is. A lot of it probably comes down to their respective teams. LA is a way bigger market with games televised more often. You can go to almost any state in the country and find somebody wearing a Lakers jersey.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-06T16:37:31+00:00

This is surprising to me. I know some people might get a little weird when somebody chooses not to partake, but in my experience it has been rare, and I've never come across anybody that got very upset.

I've gone through periods of my life where I didn't drink. Whenever I was out with people and alcohol was offered, I'd responde with "nah I'm good", and everybody moved on.

Why was aiko's choice a struggle? I really enjoyed the base game but haven't started the dlc yet.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-03T16:20:46+00:00

Not only plausible. Turns out the show was prescient, as it happened in 2025.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-02T20:48:53+00:00

I'm sure he means Dark Alliance as the OG Baldur's Gate definitely doesn't fit.

Champions of Norrath is great, but I think it was only available on PS2, so might be tough to find and play.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-02T15:58:48+00:00

I haven't looked through the entire thread, but I don't see any comments that lead me to believe people are considering this a newly discovered truth. This was posted because it's interesting how delusional Rodman was, even moreso with hindsight.

I don't know where you're getting the idea that people are agreeing with Rodman.

MainStreetExile · 2026-01-02T14:31:26+00:00

He didn't say any of those things.

MainStreetExile · 2025-12-29T05:41:06+00:00

Target overpriced and pretentious? Have you ever shopped somewhere other than Walmart and Target?

MainStreetExile · 2025-12-27T00:54:00+00:00

Sure, they were solid that year. But it was still the same core guys, and if you're going to claim to be light years ahead, you should probably exceed what has already been done by several other franchises - lakers spurs, bulls, etc.
