For me it is a lie, I do care about politics, but I don’t discuss it with friends or family. Feigning ignorance is the easiest way out. I’ve been the third wheel in a 'discussion' where two people argue politics and it's not a nice position.

Thanks for sharing, this was a wonderful story.
Please don’t, there are enough paranoid nutjobs on Lemmy as it is
The good: I just signed a new lease in a city I have always wanted to live in, so it’s moving time
The bad: I hit an enormous raccoon which cracked my bumper and have to take my car in for repairs today on my lunch break
A minimum 750 credit score is crazy. I haven’t ever missed a payment on any line of credit in my life and mine is 751. The maximum is 850 for god’s sake!

Disagree, I am from a non-us country and live in the US. Most people here genuinely do not have any idea what a centigrade or meter are, because they do not use them. For a content creator, you want your audience to be as broad as possible, so you can attract more views, and alienating so many people for a petty reason like ‘my arbitrary system is better’ (even if it is!) is a bad choice.

I think this comment sums up why a lot of studios don’t avoid spoiling major plot points in trailers. It’s very easy to advertise a movie as something it isn’t (or just the opening third), and miss the core audience that will actually leave good reviews on it, convincing others to go.
A movie that did a great job of getting across what it was in the trailer, but still throwing a massive curveball, was Barbarian, which I really appreciate it for. Almost every plot point was subversive, though partially because it was such a strange film.
I currently work at a business that uses a similar method to the probationary period, and I hate it. It’s definitely one of those things that sounds good on paper, but in practice I would love to move away from.
We use a proprietary system in my field, and train a couple of members of each department to be able to submit stuff into it (think Concur / NetSuite). It takes about three months to become proficient enough that I don’t have some form of issue with everything you submit. This means I can spend months training someone, just for them to be let go and the next person roll in.
Training people is expensive in both cash for the business and the time of those around them. Hiring correctly once would make my life a lot easier.
