The way I’m reading that comment is that big noses are a Jewish stereotype, and since the studio decided to cast a white gentile and just stick a prosthetic nose on him, they’re leaning into that stereotype. They should’ve cast someone who was Jewish and also looked like the guy (as a whole… not only his nose).
Casting a white actor and then putting them in blackface so they can play a black person is inherently disrespectful. The history of blackface is too racist and disgusting, that to choose that over simply casting a black person would be wildly out of line.
I’m extra glad now that I don’t eat pork.
Nice, thank you! Trying it out now. Font is crazy small (even after trying to make it bigger) and there seems to be some comment nesting issues, but excited to see it evolve :)
I’m so sorry. Losing a pet is a special kind of pain, and thinking about losing a parent on top of that must be way too much to process at once. Sending love.
Delirium tremens- serious withdrawal symptoms
Yes! I love to reread my favorites. It’s like visiting old friends. Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Rings, the Wheel of Time, Matilda, Watership Down. Can you look at a favorite painting too much? That’s how it feels to me- another visit to a beautiful work of art.
I just finished a reread of the WOT books. Would you recommend the Death Gate Cycle as a good way to fill the gap that I’m now feeling from a lack of a 10k-word series to sink into every night?
I use Google Fi for my cell service and have loved it, but them killing off or selling so many of their products has me real nervous over here…
Look up popular interview questions ahead of time and think of ways to answer them, then practice giving the answers! You really can’t practice enough- the more you do it, the more confident and prepared you’ll be in the moment. Bring a copy or two of your resume, and paper to write notes on. At the top of your paper, list some of your accomplishments (to remind yourself if you blank in the moment).
When answering questions, be direct and give concrete examples whenever possible. Try not to ramble on or talk around the question.
If it’s in person, get there a little early so you’re not rushing in with sweat dripping down your brow lol. If it’s online, login 5 minutes early to make sure the technology is working. Wear something professional (what this looks like will vary by job, but generally nothing too revealing or casual, like a t shirt and sneakers).
Remember that you are there to evaluate them just as much as they are evaluating you! Show that you’re interested by looking into the company a bit beforehand, mentioning what you appreciate about their company values (or whatever), and having questions at the ready for the interviewers.
Read www.askamanager.org! SO many amazing tips on not only interviewing but lots of other work related stuff!
Good luck!
Its origin story is problematic, but in reality most people only think of it as a food holiday… and maybe people go around the table and say what they’re thankful for. It’s pretty divorced from its roots, and the name itself isn’t an issue (unlike Columbus Day, for example). But I’m curious to hear other perspectives!
