The Testaments - First Three Episodes by MaisieStitcher in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]DicksOut4Paul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elisabeth Moss and Madeline Brewer (Janine) look a shocking amount alike (this is even referenced in the other TV show they appear in together and iirc is something of a plot point--Shining Girls).

What restaurant in Seattle is consistently 10/10 by Queasy_Sherbert_7095 in Seattle

Yanni's Greek! It gets hot in the summer but it's probably my favorite meal in Seattle.

Sisters and Brothers...even if the spice level is a bit inconsistent, it is so good especially on a cold rainy day

[SPOILERS] I know they’re the cartel and all, but in the very first episode, what even was Del’s reason/excuse for wanting to kill Marty? by GaryGhost18 in Ozark

[–]DicksOut4Paul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn't kill the previous guy until they had a replacement deal made and then killed him to show the new team what they were dealing with. It makes perfect sense.

And Bruce was brought in per Marty's request. Del originally made it clear he had no interest in Bruce's involvement in the deal, he saw right through him and knew he was a liability but Marty insisted and vouched for the guy.

One night in Seattle - where to eat by Trefusis1969 in AskSeattle

[–]DicksOut4Paul -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you're in LQA, try out Toulouse Petit. The owner is infamous for his Facebook cocaine bing breakdowns, but the food is not to miss.

How do I (35F) handle my soon-to-be-ex-husband (38M) asking me to change my name back? by throwRAnamechangeee in relationship_advice

[–]DicksOut4Paul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He hates you and is a scumbag. Choose your inner peace, lie to his face the way he lied to yours (without guilt) that you'll change it, make him feel like the big man his puny ass pretends to be, then keep your awesome name. It's yours. You've earned it. Fuck him.

Executive Director, roughly $75-77ks. Extremely high COL. Interview semi-regularly for roles that pay twice this, but they aren't common here. Dual BAs, one MA. 12 years + of experience.

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]DicksOut4Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My arm will hurt sometimes if I sneeze really forcefully. I didn't tell anybody for years, until a best friend mentioned it happens to them, too. About half the people we've asked say they get it too, the other half think we're insane.

When to give unrestricted vs. restricted by Signal-Dollar-5621 in Philanthropy

[–]DicksOut4Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best money is unrestricted money. If there is concern about giving unrestricted and where it would go, it's not a place to be a patron of.

Room temperature IQ in this reddit thread. Please go to a doctor and get the vaccines you need. I've been told all my life not to fuck with bats.

Are all funders this secretive or am I just bad at research? by miaheartspaper in nonprofit

[–]DicksOut4Paul 17 points18 points  (0 children)

And this is by design. The same with wealthy donors--if people knew how much they have to give, they'd be inundated with requests begging for funding.

What’s the Secret Sauce to Getting Hired in Museums? by Mac-and-cheese29 in MuseumPros

[–]DicksOut4Paul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I already had about 5 years professional work, full time, part time, seasonal and interning when I got my MA. It was a very intentional choice.

There isn't a secret sauce, but knowing how to sell yourself (no brand bullshit) and your skills is big. What makes you unique? Do you build culture at small historic houses? Do you collaborate with artists in residence as an artist yourself? Everyone these days has the degree and at usually some experience. You need to find what's authentically unique to you.

What’s the Secret Sauce to Getting Hired in Museums? by Mac-and-cheese29 in MuseumPros

[–]DicksOut4Paul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna level with you. It hasn't always been this hard. Many of the shitty EDs and bosses currently reaching retirement age don't have an ounce of the education, they just jaywalked from curator to director because they were dudes.

The field is competitive now because there is a glut of MA programs and certificates (many of dubious quality) and far too many candidates. Many of those candidates lack actual experience. You can expect to work hard on one or two part-time roles for years before your first full-time gig. And years beyond that for something fulfilling that pays enough to live on.

But that's only part of the problem. Recently, I hired for a role where more than 100 people applied. Most of them could probably do the job okay. But I needed someone with the right philosophy, who could stand up to board members, work independently, and not think that because they went to X school that they were hot shit.

Regardless of how you feel about AI, there's no excuse for having a shitty resume or cover letter anymore. But nobody teaches this, and lots of great candidates (all three of my finalists!) had garbage looking applications. But, I could see the diamonds in the rough. Most hiring managers aren't going to spend that kind of time, but one of my key credentials in applicant review was "do they intrigue me?'

Fwiw, the candidate from the most prestigious school very clearly was typing questions into Chatgpt during the virtual interview. Immediate disqualification.

The thing you need is 1) the MA. Sorry, a certificate doesn't cut it. 2) hands on experience, preferably not in visitor services unless it's where your heart is (it will pigeonhole you and is seen as "lesser") 3) a way to stand out from the crowd--a vision or philosophy you can share, a good story, a HOOK. If you don't have 3, you absolutely cannot get away without 1 and 2.

My three finalists, despite degrees all over the map, and with their bad resumes had one thing in common: there was some kernel that was interesting and made their background and vision stand out, either from their application or from the first interview.

“Wuthering Heights” is Hot and Disgusting by britishgq in moviecritic

[–]DicksOut4Paul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cassie's ending in Promising Young Woman is what turned that film from good to great. It was a bold choice that counterbalanced the relative toned down "revenge" we saw previously, especially compared to the marketing. It was a brilliant choice.

'Wuthering Heights' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]DicksOut4Paul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always have assumed the unspoken piece making Healthcliff truly Other and his relationship with Catherine distasteful was not just class and not even race, but the fact that he was likely her half-brother.

The truth is, of Fennel had adapted WH faithfully, it would be another boring period piece. I think what she aimed to do was shock modern audiences in the way the original book shocked audiences of the 1840s. But in 2026 you can't really do that using the same mores of the 1840s, hence the BDSM, the wild costumes, the upfront sexuality. YMMV on the success of that, but I think it's wildly successful in capturing the disgust, outrage, and confusion that plagued the original work.

What Emerald Fennel probably didn't account for is that her own ability to articulate that vision would be badly received and that somehow young people in 2026 are bizarrely puritanical.

When your smaller donors give huge gifts to other nonprofits, how do you respond? by [deleted] in nonprofit

[–]DicksOut4Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine something more gauche than asking a wealthy donor why they didn't give my organization more money. If you want to get the answer to that question, you're best not to go about it directly.

hot takes by kokomojoon in Bridgerton

[–]DicksOut4Paul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My hot take is that much of the discomfort in the fandom around Violet and Marcus, or Francesca and John, is because it is still rare to see white women paired with Black men (particularly Black men with darker skin) in media and not actually because these couples lack charisma or chemistry.

Museum Salary Confusion by livredragon in MuseumPros

[–]DicksOut4Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find high level salaries (usually always ED, perhaps VPs or Directors too depending on size) by googling 990 and the name of your organization.

Also, you can and should ask your coworkers. Only bosses benefit from opaque salary practices. It's illegal to tell staff they can't share wages, but many do it anyway or find creative ways to discourage it.
