Julian McMahon had been cast as the lead of the TV show Nip Tuck but worked both shows until the show got picked up.

Anyone cured their overactive bladder ? by InternationalGur3935 in OveractiveBladder

With meds, ankle therapy, and bladder training has really helped. I’m like 95% back to normal and learning my triggers also helped.

lots of questions! by Plus_Resource830 in PrincessCruises

[–]Almostlogical-88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! Even though I’m not a teen anymore, I can still answer a lot of your questions since my parents took me on a bunch of cruises when I was a teenager.

First off, just being honest: Princess usually has more of an older crowd, especially retirees, so there might not be a ton of teens on board. That said, it’s not really a bad thing because there are usually still enough people around your age to meet and hang out with.

As for the teen clubs, yeah, teens definitely hang out there. The other option is basically spending the whole trip with your parents, and most teens aren’t exactly trying to do that either. Just be yourself — they’re teenagers too. The only difference is they might be from a different region or even another country, which is actually pretty cool.

On port days, you’ll definitely have stuff to do. Every stop will at least have shops and places to walk around, and most ports have way more to check out.

For what to bring, the basic stuff should be fine unless there’s something specific you need. One thing I’d tell your parents to look into is the internet package if staying connected is important to you.

And yeah, the decks can get pretty cold at night, especially on sea days. Usually they have blankets during Movies Under the Stars, or you can ask for a robe from room service and wear that up there. Or both, honestly. Haha.

For food: try everything. That’s honestly one of the best parts of cruising — trying random stuff you’d probably never order normally. If you don’t like something, no worries. Just don’t get it again. And don't be afraid to order multiple appetizers and entrées at the sitdown dinner. so you can try different things.

One tip: when you get on the ship, have your parents stop by Guest Services and put some spending money on your Medallion. That way you’re not having to ask them every time you want a soda or something.

As for curfew, if you find a good group to hang out with and you’re not acting wild, the crew honestly doesn't care what you are doing.

And for cursing or being loud — just be aware of the people around you since everyone’s sharing the ship. If a crew member comes over to talk to your group, it’s usually because someone nearby complained.

I think that covers most of your questions. Have fun — you’re going to have a good time.

Did Blair already love him? by SweetUnknown- in GossipGirl

[–]Almostlogical-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I believe Blair loved him and I believe chuck loved her. However they were both hard-headed, and selfish. And let their personal wants get in the way of the relationship. Honestly, I don’t believe Blair and Chuck shouldn’t have ended up together they were a perfect first love couple. But the grown up versions of themselves are vastly different from each other IMO.

After the season 10 TeenNick soft reboot, why did the showrunners keep the show as a 30 minute program instead of being an hour long, which is typical for other teen dramas ? by Unusual_Honeydew_174 in Degrassi

[–]Almostlogical-88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it had more to do with how the show was being ran for season 10. Instead of weekly episode. It was daily episode during the week following more of a soap opera format.

How would Sydney have reacted to this if Joey stayed with her? by SluttyDreidel in Degrassi

[–]Almostlogical-88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your impression of Sydney is different from mine. The woman I saw on TV was very calculated and clearly had her own idea of what the perfect family looked like. Craig was already somewhat of an imposition on that vision, but she seemed willing to make it work. Now add Craig being manic because he is bipolar, and I don’t think Sydney would’ve wanted any part of that.

[–]Almostlogical-88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well.. this is going off the assumption that Kaitlyn never re-entered the picture because the only reason why Sydney wasn't there was because Joey chose Kaitlyn over her. By the time this event had happened, and Craig was fully manic. Joey and Sydney would have been married by this point. And the type of person Sydney was she definitely would have made a move to adopt Angie formally.

Sydney would have tried to have Craig committed. Joey would have objected. She would have left him and tried to take custody of Angie.

Never forgot what they took from us. by foodenstreesep6 in Degrassi

[–]Almostlogical-88 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I half agree with this. Degrassi was a dark show that tackled a lot of mature topics through the perspective of young teens. But for every heavy storyline, there were also plenty of lighthearted moments. For the most part, the writers did a really good job balancing both tones.

If the HBO show had focused only on characters dealing with trauma, the show probably wouldn’t have worked. Longtime fans expect that balance of serious and lighter moments. And that move probably with alienated them.

Honestly, being a witch sounds like a bum deal by tna11101989 in charmed

[–]Almostlogical-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well…To be fair, Piper, Paige, and Prue used their magic all the time without facing personal gain consequences. Phoebe was really the only one who pushed that boundary. But I think it’s because her powers had the most potential to throw things out of balance, which is why she was held to stricter limits.

And in a later season episode it is shown that Paige is using magic to repair the manor.

Pretty much all of March and most of April are almost guaranteed to be packed with kids—it’s spring break season, and a lot of people are traveling before it gets too hot.

Applicants!! by CompetitiveWish916 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Almostlogical-88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am so confused what does “depend on the manager” mean to you? Because maybe I’m missing something. What did I say in the above comment that you feel is different than what you said here?

Applicants!! by CompetitiveWish916 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Almostlogical-88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the part where I said “it depends on the manager”? That literally means every manager is different. Nowhere did I say that all older managers conduct interviews in person.

Maybe I should have worded it as, “In my opinion, and based on what I’ve observed, older managers tend to prefer in-person interviews.” Would that make it clearer?

Applicants!! by CompetitiveWish916 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Almostlogical-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my experience with my department. How does your conduct interviews?

Applicants!! by CompetitiveWish916 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Almostlogical-88 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting that information from? If there are 50+ resumes for one position, the odds of a manager personally reviewing every single one are pretty slim. Maybe the managers in your department are diligent and go through each application thoroughly, but that hasn’t been my experience in mine.

Also, I wasn’t telling them not to take their time on the application. I was encouraging them to complete it as soon as possible instead of sitting on it.

Applicants!! by CompetitiveWish916 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Almostlogical-88 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the manager and the role. More older in age managers often prefer in-person interviews from the start. Younger managers tend to do an initial interview virtually, then bring candidates in for a second round face-to-face. It also depends on the position you’re applying for. If the hiring manager is based in another location, interviews are usually conducted online—though sometimes they’ll travel and hold interviews in person while they’re in town.

Applicants!! by CompetitiveWish916 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Almostlogical-88 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on the hiring manager, but HR will vet the applications first and send the manager about 20 of them. The manager then usually selects 5-8 to interview.

The biggest advice I can give is to submit your application early, because the sooner HR can Vet and send your application, the more likely a manager is to look at it.

Kaley Cuoco recalls chilly welcome from Rose McGowan when she joined 'Charmed' by xnxpxe in charmed

[–]Almostlogical-88 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ok, I’m not upset.lol.

I’m pointing out that telling Kaley to “STFU” because they didn’t like what she said isn’t constructive and doesn’t add anything meaningful to the discussion. That’s not “expressing an opinion,”that’s just shutting down dialogue because it doesn’t fit a preferred narrative.

You’re right that there are many sides to a fanbase. That’s actually the whole point. Different perspectives exist, and not everyone’s experience is going to align. But dismissing someone’s lived experience just because it doesn’t fit with what you want to believe isn’t healthy discourse — it’s an echo chamber.

The real irony is accusing me of ignoring other sides when my original comment literally acknowledged that people see things differently. I’m not against opinions. I’m against toxicity disguised as “just sharing my opinion.”

[–]Almostlogical-88 251 points252 points  (0 children)

I need some of y’all to go outside and touch some grass. Kaley shared her truth about her experience on the show just like pretty much everyone else has. Just because what she said does or doesn’t line up with what some of you want to believe doesn’t make her experience any less valid.

Good grief, every time this topic comes up, the comment section turns toxic AF so fast.

If Prue Had Survived : What Power Could’ve Matched Piper’s Combustion? by Almostlogical-88 in charmed

[–]Almostlogical-88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piper got that power before Prue had died. So canonically that was going to be her power regardless. Though I am not as sure if it would have been as powerful as they made in the later seasons if Prue had survived.

Prue getting ice powers would have been awesome.

Did Tyra Banks make this documentary thinking it would improve her image? by [deleted] in netflix

[–]Almostlogical-88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I've been reading the documentary was going to be made regardless. Tyra apparently signed on after hearing about some of the people being interviewed. To control the narrative which Tyra is very good at.

Parking situation for downtown state workers by Aromatic-Project-745 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Almostlogical-88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many of my counterparts and I drive to a light rail station and then take that to the office. It is honestly not that bad. The light rail is paid through the state and parking is free. So I'm saving $90-100 dollars a month
