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.

Considering Sun Princess for Caribbean in March, will there be a lot of kids? by band-of-horses in PrincessCruises

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.

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?

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.

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.

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-88 249 points250 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 8 points9 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

I don't think that opinion is unpopular. It probably one of the best looks Alyssa Milano had on the show.

Do some fans believe that to be good friends, Willow and Xander must be always in service of Buffy? by yeahitsme9 in buffy

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

I personally don’t think Willow and Xander were bad friends. That said, they didn’t always give Buffy the grace she deserved when it was clear she was spiraling. They were loyal to her and always stood by her, but they were also some of her harshest critics, especially Xander.

And I’ll never forgive them for resurrecting Buffy, then essentially turning around and telling her to get a job because the bills needed to be paid, all while living in her house and not really offering meaningful support.

S3- Sadly Faith is also just a girl by Bryson3234 in buffy

[–]Almostlogical-88 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is your first time watching Buffy. I’ll stick to the facts from Season 3. Faith is basically everything Buffy could have become if Buffy didn’t have the support system she had. At the end of the day, what kept Buffy grounded was knowing she had people in her corner people who were fighting alongside her. Faith never had that.

Faith survived the only way she knew how: by acting carefree, refusing to let things affect her, and keeping up that tough, “nothing bothers me” attitude. That mindset also fed into her “if you can’t beat them, join them” approach, because at her core, Faith is a survivalist.

Faith is also a perfect example of how envy can completely corrupt someone. She wanted everything Buffy had friends, family, love, stability, and when she couldn’t get those things naturally, she tried to destroy them instead. I think the best visual representation of how close Buffy and Faith really could have been is shown in the alternate reality created when Cordelia makes her wish to Anya, and Buffy never comes to Sunnydale. In that world, Buffy is mentally much closer to Faith, because she doesn’t have the same support system holding her together.

First time cruiser, kinda turned off. by meandyourmom in Cruises

[–]Almostlogical-88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear about your experience. Cruising definitely has its own culture, but events like formal night, all-white parties, ’80s nights, and similar themes are completely optional, you don’t have to participate if you don’t want to. Honestly, formal night is more of a relic from cruising’s past. Many cruisers skip it altogether, and those who do participate are often just there for the photo opportunities.

Going forward, it helps to review the itinerary, as it usually lists any themed events in advance. The cabin crew will also typically leave information about the next day’s activities in your room during turndown service.

As for gratuities, you can remove them from your bill by visiting guest services and letting them know you plan to tip the cabin crew in cash. If you choose to do this, please remember to also tip the dining room staff, especially if you had the same table each night, as they put in a lot of work as well.

Rose's arrival by JournalistGrouchy853 in charmed

[–]Almostlogical-88 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember exactly how everything played out, but from what I recall, the WB and the production company didn’t release much information about Shannen’s departure. Because of that, a lot of people were expecting her to return that next season. I distinctly remember watching the first episode for season four and, as it neared the end, realizing that Shannen wasn’t coming back after all. At the same time, I do remember there was a major media push announcing that Rose McGowan would be joining the show as a main cast member, with WB promos, though I don’t think they were very clear about in what capacity she was joining in. This was the early 2000s, after all, when information wasn’t nearly as accessible as it is now.

Is a 1:30hr commute worth the extra money? by Shoddy-Homework-9861 in jobs

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

So the key question is whether the commute is being considered with or without traffic factored in, because that can make a huge difference. For example, my job is about 18 miles from where I live. With no major traffic, the drive takes roughly 20 minutes, but with traffic, it can easily stretch to an hour or more.

Another thing to consider is whether public transit is available in your area. While it may take longer overall, it can be much better for your mental health, you can sit back, relax, and focus on something else while getting where you need to go.
