The trick to a job interview is always tailoring the criteria to whatever shit skill they are asking for and making it seem like, hey you are always going to be there physically for them.
I just always said I can figure things out after being shown once, that seemed to impress a few managers.

I feel like there was more attractive people from the 40's and 50's. Humans evolve over time and we don't see that classic look that actors had in those times anymore.
It's because of #Metoo.
Basically they overreacted and decided to cast fugly morbidly obese people because Hollywood leaders can't control their urges around attractive people.
Nuke you mentioned something about being quits with trans people? Maybe you'll be interested in this;
An old article that talks about all kinds of astroturfing, not just limited to the Trans movement either. They target Republican media in addition to Democrats, lot to take in here.
Here's a sample;
If you want the right-wing version, simply look at the ‘Tea Party’ movement. Eventually, the movement was tracked down to two large right-wing think tanks — FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity, both funded by the Koch brothers. There were paid organizers, astroturf phrases such as the infamous ‘death panels’, and town hall debates with arranged altercations. Even grassroots groups on the left can become top-down organized — look at the Obama campaign, which took genuine grassroots support for his 2012 candidacy, and began arranging their logistics for them. But planned protests and a top-down astroturf approach are also present in the oil industry and the net neutrality debate. Pick an issue and you’ll find some plutocrat is pushing an agenda.
Had no idea the Tea Party was fake.
Had no idea all it takes is money to create a movement. I mean, even if you pay people to spread a message you still need to get people to believe it. You can't buy popular opinion.
So I used to think, but apparently you can.

I have no problem with ordinary trans, the very select few that I'm attracted to that is, which is essentially 01% of the 01%.
I'm not into "groups" because everything now is all about tribalization, divide and conquer. It's why I despise politicians and political parties and everything that goes with it.
Now, this being the Off Topic forum can we get off the politics that are argued every single day in the General Discussion Forum!
I love how the Justice League movie was in 4:3 aspect ratio and they pretended this was "artistic decision."
It proves the Widescreen TV push was nothing but a marketing scam. Just like all the new Youtube videos pimping Retro Consoles ala "Why you NEED an Xbox 360 in 2023" prove the scam of "get rubes to trade in obsolete consoles and software/sell ridiculously marked up retro consoles and software/HD remasters/remakes/profit" is a scam.
It gives me hope when I see producers lashing out against incels or the alt-right or toxic fans for low sales, it shows maybe people are smarter then they're treated.
