This goes beyond financial viability. For the sake of shared trivia amongst strangers, does anyone know the connection? I'm not very familiar with the former, but I'm fairly versed in Seinfeld.

Me, refusing to look up the straight answer online and trying to find the FRIENDS apartment only using the intro, going on Google Street View and finding it, before GeoguessR became a thing.

I think it kind of validates a type of thinking that any decent person would want in a candidate. Capitalists are stupid. They don’t know the first thing about skills and abilities.

They’re the kind of bottom of the barrel dipshits who would dismiss a candidate who is great at spelling just because we have autocorrect, even though that’s a solid brain right there.

If you give me a pair of knipex snips, I can tell you the generic resin of a polymeric material by cutting it.

My SO identifies people by their teeth. Scary as f for me. Like a Zorro would have caught if he opened his mouth.

Clearly you don't know how I clearly know this clearly isn't true? Well, it's simple, you didn't use the word clearly nearly enough.

Seriously, go to IMDb and look at any big TV series or movie then go to the goofs section and look for all the very smug 'clearly' remarks.
"The stunt man was clearly wearing a wig to make him look like a woman"..."watch the background to see that George Clooney was clearly not driving the car" etc etc.
And every single time the word brings nothing to the point being made. Nothing. It's just out there by the person to show how clever they are for spotting it.
'clearly' is IMDb's version of "well, ackchualllyyyy"

You’re clearly overthinking this

I'm good at navigating places, but GPS has made it a less useful skill.

It'll be hugely useful in a post apocalyptic world though

Unscrambling jumbled words. I can usually do 5-letter ones at a glance, and 6-letters in a few seconds.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_recogniser A latent skill perhaps?

Also the new Dad in Will Trent is Bob the Street Tough from Seinfeld.

I have facial blindness but I'm a super recognizer of voices.

It used to be Simpsons quotes. But now it's been so long that I've forgotten most.

I wonder if OP is faceblind and has slight recognition but not completely.
