Reply to comment by Nazamroth in TIL the first known résumé was written by Leonardo da Vinci, when applying to be a military engineer for the Duke of Milan. It's mainly just a list of his designs for siege weapons (including trebuchets). He briefly mentions his art: "In painting, I can do everything possible." He got the job. by Pfeffer_Prinz
If your answer is "You offer an acceptable amount of money in exchange for an acceptable amount of work and acceptable conditions" they don't want to hire you.
Why hire someone who will leave as soon as they can? The interview question is doing its job - it is keeping them from hiring you.
People seem to think that the goal of interview questions is to hire them. Whereas the goal of interview questions is almost always to not hire people like them.

It was good for a few episodes but the need to have a twist at the end that made the rest of the show irrelevant made it tiresome.

Reply to comment by yeshia in TIL in the 1970s, artist Andy Warhol thought that his artwork wouldn’t go up in value after his death. In May of 2022, Warhol’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe sold for $195 Million - making it the most expensive American artwork ever sold at auction. by waitingforthesun92
I sell you a painting for $100 million. Then I buy it back for $100 million. I have no established the value of the painting as $100 million and I get to write that off on my taxes when I donate it. The painting might only be worth $1 million in a real market.

If you think that's bad - release a movie without men in the main cast and see the uproar that results. Ghostbusters, Ocean's 8, etc.
Suddenly not having representation matters when it is men not being included.

Wire and Sopranos get credit for serialized television?
Lost was clearly the show that made serialized television a big thing. It was hugely popular and spawned a ton of imitators.

Reply to Layoffs Underway At CBS Studios & Paramount TV Studios; Paramount+ Scripted Team To Be Merged by Neo2199
Maybe the dark age of television will finally end and companies will start making television that people like instead of the grimdark snooze fests called "prestige television".
For years the studios have been trying to lure viewers with critically acclaimed shows that have cult followings but are ignored by the masses. Only Netflix makes money of the major streaming services. And only Netflix makes romcom movies.
It should be clear that making shows that critics love and audiences hate is not a winning strategy. We will hopefully see the end of prestige television and the return to good television.

Reply to comment by WordsAreSomething in This is why streaming Netflix, Disney Plus, and HBO Max keeps getting more expensive by Carolina_Heart
This is the internet. Where people expect that content creators will simply give away content for free and not show any ads and that attempting to get paid for creating content is seen as greedy and evil.
Where the two main complaints are:
Why do companies keep trying to make money off of their content?
and why do companies keep making content for people who pay for it instead of people like me?

I usually remember most of what happened in the last season except for how it ended. There was so much time spent on the characters and such over the course of the season that is easy to remember.
But I don't remember all of the sudden things that happened in the last 10 minutes of the season. So I'll be like "oh right, he got shot".

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."
He is getting information using Cunningham's law. Asking is not as good at getting information as telling a lie and having her correct it.
Since he is in a time loop it doesn't matter if it makes her mad at him in that time loop. He just needs the information for future time loops.

It is a problem. I like the Irish detective and that cast the best. They really vary in entertainment.

They are both procedurals where the guilty party is a character introduced about 8 minutes in without being a suspect and their motive suddenly appears with 8 minutes left in the show.
I prefer Elementary (and am literally rewatching it right now), but that is for how the case unfolds. It has a lot of detective work and drudgery discussed (they don't show hours of looking through files but they comment on it, they show the effort it takes).
The Mentalist is more of him getting hunches then detective work. It is just less believable.
But the main reason I stopped watching Mentalist was that it stopped being a case of the week and had too many episodes about Red John a serial killer who could do anything and had a cult following and was just a silly plot that dragged out for years.
If you want a case of the week show with logical cases watch Death in Paradise. The cases are often locked room or impossible murders that they have to figure out how they were done and who did it - but the clues and how it happened all work. And Death in Paradise always has them list the suspects and the killer is one of the suspects. It makes sense, it isn't just a surprise reveal.
