I wasn't super impressed by the demo, but I'll keep an eye on reviews. If they can make the writing less bad, I could see myself checking it out.

They are cooking it in chicken grease which defeats the purpose.

What is the purpose that is being defeated? You can cut down on your meat intake by doing this. It might not be for people who are fully vegetarian or vegan, but it clearly has a niche.

I didn't expect it at all! I'd read a few other Poirot books by then and just didn't think something like that could happen. Big fan of the book.

I see the harm. I hate fakes and posers who pretend to be something theyre actually not.

Theyre also the reason ticket prices are so damn high. I know this from people being on their damn phone in Warriors games instead of watching the damn thing and its an insult to an actual fan of the team that theyre taking up a nice seat in the arena that a real fan would have appreciated better.

It reeks of insecurity and makes me look down on them even more if they cannot be who they really are around me.

Yeah you wouldnt connect much to me if you didnt like sports much but at least I can respect you being real.

IMO if you want to take being into sports, at least know who some of the damn players are.

Honestly, everything that you're saying reeks of insecurity more than someone being a casual fan of a team... I think you should just not get worked up about it, and live your own life.

Usually, everyone tends to order something within a few dollars of each other, so it's easer to just say "The bill is $120 with tip, there's 5 of us, everyone throw in $25" as opposed to saying "You owe $22, you owe $26, you owe $27, you owe, $30, you owe $20."

Then everyone has to run tot he bar to make change, count it all up, etc.

Are you typically paying with cash? I can't remember the last time I went out to eat and everyone didn't pay with their phones or contactless cards.

According to required education by my Veteran's Assistance CBTs, only 25% of jobs are actually advertised. The vast majority of jobs are unadvertised, you simple know someone in the company and ask if they have a position. So in other words. TC is right.
I had a handy graph to go with this post but GFAQs upload limit didn't let me post it.

Most jobs might not be advertised, but TC's issues seems to be about jobs that are and why you might not get them after applying. There's a difference between acknowledging that most jobs aren't advertised, and blaming employers having candidates already in mind for jobs that you apply for.

"If youre too quick to dismiss the problem as someone else's fault youre gonna stagnate"

There really is something to this.

I think nepotism can be a factor, but in my experience, less so at larger organisations. I don't know how many jobs your partner has applied for, but I doubt they will all have had someone internal in mind, but feel that they have to advertise externally anyway. In the organisations that I've worked for (admittedly 2 of the 4 have been public sector and I live in the UK), they are far more likely to advertise internally in the first instance. I've never heard of any issues with them not looking like an "equal opportunities" employer because of this. I don't really know that this is an issue in the way that you seem to be saying it is.

I think it's more likely that your partner isn't getting jobs because there are justbetter people out there, or that she's just not qualified. Getting a new job is difficult, but I'm sure there are things that she can improve with her interview technique/skillset/experience that will help her.

Obviously I have no idea what sort of jobs she's going for, so things might be different in her industry.

If you think you love them, just say it. As I've gotten older, I've leaned towards just being open and honest with the person that I'm seeing. If something normal freaks them out, are they someone that you want to date? And if they're a normal, mature person, I don't think they will react negatively.
