do you two know each other’s favorite colors

Sheesh, my bad, didn’t know you hated my main man red so much!

I don’t—I don’t hate it. It is simply not my favorite; that’s what the original question was about, was it not?

Well, what is it then?

What?

What’s your favorite?

…

…

…

Seriously? It’s way too late to pretend like you don’t have one! You already said it wasn’t red, so what is it!

…

…Pink. And green. It’s a pleasant color combination—if I recall correctly, they are…they are...They go well together.

No lie, those are pretty swag colors…….so what about mine?

Yours?

Do you know my favorite color?

Of course I don’t, why would I?

You’re such a bad friend, man!

We are not friends.

Hope you got a pen nearby ‘cause you better be writing this down: I like……………..ALL colors! My favorite is everrrrrrryyyyy color!

Absolute nonsense. How is every single color your favorite? Do you even know what that word means? It—

Oh, so you can like pink and green, but I can’t like every color? Huh?

It’s only two compared t—

But doesn’t ‘favorite color’ imply that, whatever it may be, it is a singular hue? Isn’t it atrociously incorrect for you to list two separate colors? Shouldn’t—

Stop it. I do not sound like that.

Yeah, yeah, and your favorite color isn’t red, we’ve all heard it

IT IS NOT—

Assistant Noah AU: How would Alejandro react to learning that Assistant Noah was originally a contestant in Season 1, but Noah tricked his team into voting him off super early... But Chris somehow found out, and Noah became Chris Mclean's Assistant as a punishment... How would Alejandro feel about learning this? 😅

assuming the timeline here, and that initially the circumstances of noah’s elimination is the usual ‘i was promised a 5-star resort, i didn’t get one, i’m going to get one’ and assistant noah’s usual Spite i think there is something interesting to be found there:

alejandro is the villain of world tour; the antagonist. with it comes a drive to win, so it’d be easy to say while he may respect it, he would look down on a play to just, get yourself out of the game. that being said, that reaction is more in-line with someone like heather, and alejandro is an opportunistic villain — i can see him respecting such a play, and admiring it in some way.

^ adding onto this, while i'm not sure this is too inline with what we're given in canon, alejandros motivations seem to be less about fame or money (seeing as his father is a diplomat) and more about proving a point specifically to his brother.

and, while not refined in the slightest, there is a degree of skill involved in nuking a single social situation so hard you get yourself voted out near-unanimously. and alejandro, different from someone like say heather, understands using the game to a different ends than what's being promised by it, ergo; respect and admiration.

(maybe even moreso since it is a very isolating move -- at least when he plays charmer villain he's hoping to get a good chunk of cash from it. all noah was hoping for was a luxury summer and he didn't even get that.)

not to mention it speaks to more character beyond the action itself -- a character i do think alejandro would, at the very least, be intrigued by. building off the previous assistant noah ask, i'd imagine alejandro would use it as a point of teasing, assuming it to be a kind of sore spot for noah.

which he isn't entirely wrong about -- since it wasn't so much a choice and more of a 'do this or else' i can see noah here being leagues more salty about his job and the circumstances thereof and looking back not-so-fondly on how he even landed it in the first place.

anyway in conclusion: it makes alejandro stumble harder into being a smitten loser and noah remains Bitter

I've been asking Allah عز وجل for righteous companions for such a long time now... and not once did I ever expect that du'a to be answered in the form of colleagues. Allahu Akbar, truly.

It is so mind boggling and heart warming at the same time, how unexpectedly and strangely Allah answers our prayers ❤️

Tired of missing out on big international deals because of your English?

At times, when you see international business owners speak English well, you ask yourself, "How do they speak English so well?"

Just like you, Fahad, a Middle Eastern business owner, had the same thought because his weak English was not helping his international business.

He had also tried many ways to improve his weak English skills, but he made little to no progress.

Fahad sent me a message and told me how he had tried to improve his weak English but he couldn't talk confidently.

He joined the 1-on-1 VIP English program for Middle Eastern business owners for eight months.

~ He showed up for every English assignment feedback to improve his English faster for business and took action.

~ Fahad joined every one-on-one live English class, ready to learn and develop the strong English he wanted.

Eight months later, he started talking confidently in English during important meetings and events.

Fahad began to use his English confidently for his international business.

When you are ready to take action to develop strong English to grow your business in other countries and make more money.

P.S. Send me a message with the word "strong" to join the 8-month 1-on-1 VIP English coaching program to improve your English for international business.

Close reading is such an underrated skill.

I know it hasn't been really taught as a general skill in primary or secondary schools in many decades, and of course it shouldn't be the only tool in your toolbox. But the closest most kids (here, at least) ever come to close reading in high school is still a few weeks of looking at newspaper clippings for persuasive techniques and desultory attempts to ape them in essays.

But in real life I am frequently presented with art or media without much further context. It's on a book shelf. It's an ad. It's streaming on a service. It's in my YouTube recommendations. I don't know when I see these things who the creator is personally, or about the context in which they produced this thing. No idea!

So I see a lot of people saying online now, "How was I supposed to know [this creator] was a Bad Person when nobody told me?"

And my answer is: you do not have to know anything about a creator to engage with their work and recognise whether or not you think their ideas are quality ones. You can learn skills and put them in your critical thinking toolbox to do this for you. And close reading skills are one way to meaningfully engage with texts on that basis.

Unfortunately, you can get about a year into an actual literature degree before a gobsmacked professor will sit a whole class down, lean wearily on his desk and say, "Does any one of you know how to do a close reading? Do they not teach that in primary?"

No. No they don't! And unless they've started doing it again pretty recently, they haven't for decades.
