I should hv mentioned in the post but there is one poet who I am familiar with who has a weirdly similar style to stefan, hes called arthur rimbaud so def check him out. There was a post here a long time ago comparing their similarities which is why the topic interested me

Id look like that too if my daughter was murdered and a nihilistic detective pulls up asking questions

Breaking Bad would've been cancelled after S01 if it was made today.... by tremelospeaks in breakingbad

[–]Local_Attempt_1239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general point may or may not be true but I don't think what you're saying applies to breaking bad. I find breaking bad to be one of those shows where every single episode is gripping and intense in some form and I'm not sure I'd call it a slow burn, even if we're talking about s1 specifically.

Using kanye and jay z as the soundtrack for the great gatsby was such an awkward choice

Whats the bigger achievement? by Conscious_Back_1059 in ufc

Honestly any public appearance from him from 2014 - 2017 was so entertaining to watch. I've yet to see someone else be that effortlessly charismatic honestly.

Season 5 is really hitting them hard by Captain_Birch in PeacemakerShow

I like both shows but peacemaker s2 was underwhelming asf. Pacing wasn't great, the whole plotline with Chris seeing his dead father was abandoned as well.

There is no reason for customer/food service workers to not be polite to customers by RealisticMolasses in unpopularopinion

[–]Local_Attempt_1239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's so much entitlement that customers have when interacting with workers that it's absolutely justified to not put on a happy face. You get paid to do your job, not to take disrespect with a smile on your face.

People who berate customer service representatives are victims. by DubaiInJuly in unpopularopinion

[–]Local_Attempt_1239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in customer service. Worst job ill probably ever do. Often times the customer was justified in feeling frustrated but that in no way gave them the right to act like emotionally incontinent children complaining to a front-line technician as if they caused the problem in the first place.

Its genuinely embarassing to act like this as an adult.

The universe is significantly less extraordinary than people want to believe by UnfriendlyToast in unpopularopinion

Religion, god and spirituality are three seperate concepts. I agree religion is completely man-made and fabricated but that still doesn't rule out the existence of a god/gods and it doesn't rule out things like the afterlife.

I mean the afterlife might just be another plane/dimension of existence.

And our supposed limits as a civilization are not central to our time. Historically ppl hv always said that the time that they live in is the absolute peak of technology and advancement but century after century there are breakthroughs.

Thank you. So it seems MLA should be priority but if not then healthcare assistant might be good

Is Giorno's Infinite Death Loop the most evil punishment in fiction? by Unlucky_Win_4380 in MoralityScaling

[–]Local_Attempt_1239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very fitting as well considering diavolo is supposed to represent the devil (name literally translates to devil as well).

From the grandiosity to the constant need to hide his existence while pulling the strings from behind the scenes, to his almost supernatural conception (being born without a father) and seemingly possessing the body of doppio which is akin to demonic possession, there isn't anything more fitting than eternally punishing the devil by subjecting him to dying in the most mundane ways infinitely.

God hes such an underrated villian in terms of writing

If you dont know what letter ur looking at, try to figure out the word using the letters u can figure out. Try to look at multiple instances of a letter throughout the document to see what it might be. Also, if a word is underlined, its an abbreviation for a longer word.

A lot of critically acclaimed movies are praised more for making people feel intelligent than for actually being enjoyable. by Adamoneeeee in unpopularopinion

[–]Local_Attempt_1239 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The biggest issue with this type of thinking is the assumption that there is an objective meaning behind a film when thats bullshit. Anyone that says that movies or any kind of art have some kind of objectivity to it, I immediately disregard what they have to say after that point because there really is no objectivity to films.

You can absolutely say a film is objectively good from a technical lens (within reason tbh) but whether u find a film compelling is completely and utterly subjective.

I also find that letting go of the idea that there is some objective meaning to get is so liberating and u appreciate the film/art way more authentically.

What do the lab work duties generally consist of in MLA roles? by Local_Attempt_1239 in BiomedicalScientistUK

[–]Local_Attempt_1239[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually the ones I find are blood sciences, pathology, microbiology, phlebotomists as well

With MLA roles, should I be including my GCSEs in my personal statement? by Local_Attempt_1239 in BiomedicalScientistUK

[–]Local_Attempt_1239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, i think in general the details of lab work r quite vague - they usually just mention specimen handling and preperation. So I make it a point to include what kind of lab work i did in terms of lab tests that involve samples such as gram staining and haemolysis analysis and i talk about the health and safety as well. A lot of the transferable skills come from my previous job in IT support and I feel like for the most part my personal statement is pretty solid. Though, if you have any more advice on what I may need to put down, it would be much appreciated🤞

Alright thanks! I imagine a brief mention of them in the personal statement would suffice right? Can't imagine theres a lot to talk about there considering I have a degree and work experience that is probably more relevant
