Devil Wears Prada 2:
Good movie. Captured the zeitgeist. Might be Too Soon if you work in publishing, tech, or any other industry being eaten by private equity. Ended a lot stronger than it started.
after getting Many replies and having seen Many other peoples' posts, I'm going to gently remind everyone that:
1) if you want to post a Take on a long post and/or form a strong opinion about it that informs your actions going forward, remember to actually read the entire post and not just someone else's two-sentence Take in a vacuum
2) if you don't want to read the post, valid, Marcus Aurelius releases you from the obligation to have a Take. In fact, please don't have a Take

PoV: you are a riselka
I often get replies that really clearly fit into the pattern described by those who warn about the literacy skills crisis — where readers see only the keywords, and construct a completely different sentence in their head with the same keywords and respond to it.
It’s 100% not your fault if you got stuck with a terrible education system that didn’t give you strong reading skills. But you can, and should, fight back and look for ways to improve your reading skills yourself. The rewards are infinite and lifelong.
One way to start: when you want to reply to a post, ESPECIALLY if you’re replying because the post annoyed you… ➡️slow down, read it again.⬅️ Your brain might have gotten ahead of your eyes! You can also use TTS to hear complex things out loud, if that’s what helps.
