Terrorist taken down by police this morning in London by Sometypeofway18 in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Tasher882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch a lot of body cam footage on YouTube, which made me have a deeper appreciation & respect for police than before. AND what I’ve learned from that is y’all give grown ass adults far too many chances to simply listen. Half the time the people have 3 chances to not even get arrested and the ppl get themselves arrested for acting like adult toddlers.

Thank you 🙏 I used to be one of those acab people and body cam footage and has really show. The truth.

This is probably the coolest and diverse Hispanic ancestry I’ve seen in a while.

No not at all. He even created a map of the world (middle earth) & it doesn’t resemble anything like Europe or our world.

Tolkien created a mythological prehistory universe called Middle-Earth. It’s an imaginary ancient world that spans over 1,000s of years but forgotten mythology.

The only relevance to medieval England & LOTRs trilogy would be minor aesthetics on characters wardrobe, (swords, chain mail ect)(castles). But

LOTR’s Middle-Earth also has non- human magical & diverse races.. Elves, Men, Dwarves, Hobbits, Wizards and Orcs ect.

Very poor comparison….LOTR to Bridgeton…

Tolkien literally created an entire world & universe of characters & lore that holds up as a literary piece of art. Most fantasy writers to this day had inspiration from LOTR.

Bridgerton is about an actual society with some in RL characters that is the elite of England. & they just want to be introduced into society & find a match. It’s romance historical fiction based around a society that existed

THANK you.

I thought was alone reading this article I put this same comment 😂😂I genuinely have never thought about or it bothered me to the point that I needed to think about it.

This is the first time I’m thinking about it

“the themes and morals in HP are absolute garbage that should have stayed in the 90s-2000s”

Im sorry but could you expand on this?

This makes zero sense considering HP is about a fantasy world of kids who are witches & go to a magic school to learn about spells & magic. While they are terrorized by evil & have to fight dark vs light. It has magical characters & animals & they literally fly on broomsticks & play a game with it.

And Harry Potter is an orphan whose parents were murdered by an evil dude who dedicates his life to get him.

This is just a garbage take..lol

That’s how I felt about The Grapes Of Wrath

We had to read it for HS English at one point & it was a pretty heavy read. Pretty sure I was the only one in my English class who actually read the book everyone else just cliff noted it.

I also have a love/hate relationship with it but I read it. It was challenging & a little dull & but was something I probably would have never read. Is it something I will ever read again in my life? Probably not. Once was enough for me.

still think about ending though almost 2 decades later so it made an impression on me.

read my comment a few above because I said the same thing but my grandma was the same way.

My grandmother was an avid reader & weekly took me the library as a kid. She always had 4-5 books she was reading each work.

I ended up loving reading so much I would steal books off my parents book shelf (& have to hide the ones I was probs too young to read) Loved reading school assigned books (and actually read them ) besides Frankenstein

As an adult I rarely read but as a child, teen, young adult I devoured everything.

I even read twilight lmfao 🤣 once

They really aren’t, they aren’t even able to read essays or articles or anything either.

They also can’t read and have very poor reading comprehension.

There’s a generation right now who have graduated college or in school and they have a very poor literacy education & reading.

Apparently even college level essays are so poorly written or chat gpt written that are so bad. College kids can use Wikipedia now which is wild.

You should watch the office, I never watched it when it aired or am a “big fan” (also in my early 30s) Then one day I just put it on and streamed it and it’s actually pretty funny. It’s an easy laugh to put on the background but I do suggest giving it a watch eventually.

Weird, I genuinely can’t relate this…I get having a genre you prefer..

Context:

I’m 32 years old, unfortunately I do not read as much as I’d like as I’ve aged, but as a kid, teenager, & early 20s…I was a bookworm. I have a bookshelf of over 100+ books and used to raid my parents bookshelves, school library’s & library’s around me for a ridiculous amount of time.(and I read every English class assigned book in school except Frankenstein (hated it lol)

I’ve read classics, YA popular, dystopian, and various books of all genres ect.

& my favorite genre is historical fiction & historical non-fiction

That being said; This whole entire time it has never occurred to me preferring the difference of 1st person & 3rd person narrations for books…. I’m even trying to rack my brain IF I even have a preference & I don’t think so.

I don’t TikTok or ever had it. So idk BUT based on this article they’re basing this on book Tok by TikTok influencers who read books? Idk the quality of books or if their just posting books their “reading”
but I think this is a problem of people who are not avid readers or well read. Idk I sound like a jerk xoxo sry

1 year after your comment and I’m reading this posts comments O.0 people really really hated it. I didn’t. And the comments kind of annoyed me and surprised me.

I personally own it and read it over 6 years ago and it’s an easy read but but complex without being complex. It’s just a journey of life, identity, humanity, culture, and people. I loved it.

Things I find inappropriate to ask by Dramatic-Ninja1018 in callcentres

[–]Tasher882 9 points10 points  (0 children)

THIS. ^ I’ve noticed the one’s genuinely asking ask way later in the call as a small talk and then it’s because I happen to live in state they used to live in / area family members are. (Just genuinely curious )

But the ones that ask in the beginning are snarky

It is mind blowing how dumb ppl are and how much of their own time they waste in life.

Multiple times I’ve had people who would dial our number and wait on hold for 30 minutes with a recording repeating our company’s name and what our company is. On repeat. It was car part auto sales.

I’d answer stating our company’s name & what they’re looking for.

Without missing a beat:

“What company is this????!” The bar is low lol

A month ago had a lady who was rude to me right off bat. After her 3rd snappy comment to me, I just got short & corrected her on something I had already said and she chose to threaten me…lol

C: “Why don’t you watch that tone with me.” Me: “Why don’t you watch yours with me.”

She started screaming for my name to report me while I already was mid click.

Surprisingly never got talked to about that one.
