That is also my experience and I can see from your username that you’re from a german speaking country as well.
I am wondering if this is somehow very different in, for example, the US.

Is landlord a “job” where you live?
I think every single person I know who owns a house/flat and rents to someone has of course a regular job where he works at. Wouldn’t be financially viable in any form otherwise (and it shouldn’t be).
- Comment on What are some examples of some of the most well-known and watched TV series at the time that been forgotten culturally? 3 days ago:
Two and a Half Men was big for a long time and gets pretty much ignored nowadays - which is probably fair tbh, it lost its soul pretty fast
- Comment on If a gay man and lesbian woman have sex, is that gay or straight? 1 week ago:
I’d say sexual intercourse in itself can’t be homo- or heterosexual since that is a denomitor for people’s sexual attractions.
The sexual intercourse would simply be male-female sex.

Train AI? I don’t think so. This is someone shitposting.
- Comment on Three years after a cinematographer was killed by a stray bullet on set, "Rust" is being released in theaters this weekend. Funds from the release will go to the victim's family, mainly to her son. 1 week ago:
I read a beautiful review in my (german-language) newspaper today, focussing on Halyna Hutchins’ cinematography and emphasizing how much this movie benefits from it.
Basically saying that while Hutchins was not award-winning famous yet, her work on this film would have raised her profile in the industry further.

They did have to and always signed under oath that they did, but the Academy never had a way of verifying that

- Comment on Has anyone here watched Conclave? How was it? 2 weeks ago:
spoiler
Absolutely, my phrasing in calling him “not biologically male” was due to me not speaking English as a first language and not being sure how to phrase it correctly
- Comment on Conclave was almost a great movie, but failed to stick the landing 2 weeks ago:
I’d agree that it seems unnecessarily overdramatic in the movie plus due to the fact that we are closed in with the cardinals, we don’t see how this attack was possible nor the police investigations that follow it. So we are left with an incomplete picture and the cardinals’ reactions to that.
- Comment on Has anyone here watched Conclave? How was it? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the person was predictable based on the narrative structure.
Regarding the final twist
Iirc Lawrence gets tipped off at some point about Benitez’ secretive, papal-approved medical treatment that he then cancelled instead of going through with it. I kept thinking about what it could be, and while I didn’t predict the twist completely my mind did wander into that direction. Mainly because it became quite clear to me that this story would pull every possible scenario that a conclave could have.
- Comment on Conclave was almost a great movie, but failed to stick the landing 2 weeks ago:
Iirc this is pretty realistic. After a certain number of voting rounds cardinals often agree to switch to a different candidate, with such candidate who suddenly comes up as a new option taking a huge jump in votes for him.
spoiler
And given when the book was written - on the height of Daesh/ISIS bombings in Europe - the fact that a jihadist group would bomb the Vatican during Conclave makes way more sense than if it was a white supremacist group. The fact that the last twist isn’t properly influencing anything is, I believe, also down to the fact that it is simply adapted from the book.

I would suggest the best people to end it would be the teenagers’ friends and the adult partners’ friends. Much more likely they’d listen to them.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
This here. Being fine with it or not being fine with it is one thing.
But expressing that or trying to do anything about it is a completely different thing. Knowing teenagers, the consequences could be unintended

Ah, yes that’s true.

See, if you do have a bit of knowledge on current catholic church politics and pick up of some clues early on in the movie you can definitely see the ending coming. It’s not unguessable.

Have you watched The Apprentice – The Trump Story movie? It’s not a documentary of course, but depicts his transformation from an unsecure young man into that unnatural Trump persona
- Comment on Limited edition orange juice mint condition looking for trade 5 weeks ago:
It might even be from one of the very first few live streaming sites, where you didnt stream a video but rather your Webcam would take pictures every 2 seconds and instantly upload them to the server.
Now, with this juice box we could for the first time have some clues regardin who the girl in the photo actually is and when/where the photos/videos were talen.

Their opening episode this season was an in-universe “final episode” with Bart fighting against the changes. But it didn’t have a clear date.
