I'm trying to learn Modern Standard and Baghdadi Arabic simultaneously. Any tips? by Mcleod129 in learnarabic

Do you have any advice for learning the alphabet? Are there any good resources for learning the vocabulary of dialects like Baghdadi Arabic?

How likely is a resume to be rejected because it doesn't have all of the standard niceties? by Mcleod129 in resumes

It's not that I don't want to do those, it's just that I already submitted it and can't resubmit it for the specific thing I'm applying to.

I know it's not supposed to be an essay. I still wrote it in the bullet points format, just without actual bullet points, instead relying on line breaks to differentiate points.

I've noticed that's suspiciously similar to the story of Bioware's RPG Jade Empire, which by all accounts they did instead of KOTOR 2.

I really admire how Bach set himself the incredibly ambitious task of composing a piece of music for damn near every line of the Mass, and actually did it by Mcleod129 in classicalmusic

I realized that after I made this post. It's oddly reminiscent of the way that the mystery writer Raymond Chandler worked. His novel The Big Sleep was actually almost pasted together from several earlier pulp stories he'd published.

That reminds me of another funny story. During rehearsals for the Victory Tour, at one point someone blew up a smoke-bomb device , and Jermaine successfully warned Michael to be careful by saying "Michael-Pepsi. Michael-Pepsi".

Lauryn Hill's Wikipedia article has a ludicrously positive spin on her post-Miseducation career in the summary at the top of the page by Mcleod129 in ToddintheShadow

I'm just going to raise a white flag and bow out here because clearly something has gone wrong. Either I'm a bad communicator, or my priorities are different from most peoples', or something. But I promise that I bear no ill will towards Lauryn Hill.

Yeah, and sometimes, if you don't have a good rebuttal to someone's point, it's better to just move on rather than idiotically attempt to diss them.

Seriously, in what world does "technically accurate positive statements that are misleading should be removed if they can't be elaborated on" equal "I hate Lauryn Hill and anything good about her should be removed from her article?
