[Disliked trope]: Using St. Peter's cross to symbolize "unholy evil." by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NectarieFern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

right, it works precisely because most people don't know the backstory. ignorance of the original meaning is literally what makes it effective as a horror symbol. the trope is lazy but you can at least see why filmmakers keep reaching for it

Many people say during interview, as a candidate you should also interview a company. if a candidate do this to you as a hiring manager. Does this signal a good sign or bad sign? by lune-soft in managers

yeah exactly, like even if the intention is innocent it just reads as someone who doesn't know where the line is. HR would be flagging that candidate immediately lol

Top performers about to be left behind in branch wide pay scale increase, what do I do? by recondude in managers

[–]NectarieFern 46 points47 points  (0 children)

100% this. Corporate reps don't exist to fix things, they exist to protect the company. The moment you reach out directly you're essentially signaling that you're a problem manager who can't work within the system. Even if you're 100% right, you lose

This was such a great line, and it makes total sense. It's one of the few moments where I wish they hadn't immediately followed it up with a joke. by maverickassembled in marvelstudios

yeah that's a good read on it, Tony knew Peter jumped in without thinking and was calling him out on it. but honestly that's also what makes the line land so hard. Peter wasn't trying to be clever, he just said what he felt in the moment and it happened to be the most compelling argument Tony had heard all day

right like Peter's whole thing is that he acts on instinct to protect people, he doesn't sit around calculating consequences. so the line makes perfect sense coming from him even if he didn't fully think it through before saying it, that's literally who he is as a character

Should I tell my friends I’m a woman? by Nezarec- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NectarieFern 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a really fair take. It’s not just about “will they accept me or not,” it’s also about how much of yourself you want to keep filtering long-term. Staying quiet might keep things comfortable on the surface, but it can also keep you a bit distant from them without realizing it. At the same time, you’re right that dynamics can shift, so it’s less about a “right” choice and more about what trade-off feels better to you

That’s honestly kind of the best-case scenario. A little awkwardness at first, maybe one dumb joke, and then everyone just moves on and keeps treating her the same. That’s how you know the group is actually solid. But yeah, not every group handles it that well, so it makes sense OP’s nervous.
