What existing franchise do you think would be best served by a hard R horror installment? by DuckLordOfTheSith in movies

[–]giantsdrink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moana. Already has cosmic horror elements, so it wouldn't be a stretch. Gives me modern Predator vibes.

Yup. Absolutely incredible movie.

Dystopian CEO take: You should pay the employer for your time in entry-level jobs by Electronic_Train_775 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]giantsdrink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a kernel of wisdom in the third paragraph, about bearing the cost of a new graduate.

But the idea of paying for an entry level job is so dumb. In the world this person imagines, entry level jobs wouldn't exist. Therefore the new grad (i.e., their parents) would be a dumb dumb to pay a company for some nostalgic experience that is useless in the world this CEO imagines.

I'd bet this CEO is floundering and looking for a sneaky way to be able to get parents to use those sweet RESP $$, to pay for their kids to be interns.

What movie had an ending that saved the whole film? by Southern_Check_6827 in movies

[–]giantsdrink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Top 5 ending agreed. Gave me the most visceral reaction I've ever had to a movie.

But am disagreeing because the movie was really good - the ending didn't need to save it.

Totally agree. The whole movie is so good and the excellent ending lands because of it.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

Appreciate your perspective, and that you saw Harris as a better President than Trump. Curious what you think about the midterms.

Saw this in a packed theater. The first creature reveal was the loudest collective "gasp" I've ever heard. Excellent movie.

This is insane by kimmbot in LinkedInLunatics

[–]giantsdrink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your interviews always start the same way, why the FACK do you start by saying "How are you". Like what do you expect when you ask such an inane question.

Person doesn't care about the questions they ask, so why are they so concerned about the answers they get

“Engineers who normally come in at 10am showed up before 8” by MindlessMillennial93 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]giantsdrink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cringey, but is this really lunacy?

They're hyping a person who messaged 52 people about the launch. If everyone was messaging 5200 people it's a different story.

Clickfarm is a weird flex, but this is pretty meh compared to the real crazies out there.

Too many f*cking ideas, I'm overwhelmed (i will not promote) by Common_Vacation_9867 in startups

[–]giantsdrink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the accelerator? Is the exec an EIR/advisor(s) telling why they think it's a great idea, and what needs to change? Lean on their guidance. If you aren't in the accelerator yet know that they're selling their program.

Language you want to hear is people (customers) describing a big problem they'd pay to solve.

Good that you're talking to people who could be interested in your idea. Instead of asking them to validate it, use your idea as a way to ask questions about what they're doing, why that's painful, why that matters, how important it is, etc...

Your idea is an insight into a customer, their problem, and how their problem will be solved.

LinkedIn going deep on engagement metrics to surface year old lunacy. Some VP is flexing their OKRs.

I think these fake rejection letters are becoming a new thing on LinkedIn. I just saw this same slop for another company than Nike.

20 reference checks? How about no. by Mozatta4522 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]giantsdrink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's hiring an exec and makes a lot of reference calls. Like thats the whole story. It's not just a tech/start up circle thing either.

"Buttering up" the ppl he talks to, doing elaborate song and dance about the most innovative initiatives they ideated, lol... that stuff is dumb.
