Over and over it seems that Trump and his lawyers' strategy is just to continuously add to the list of crimes so that clerks and the judge have to keep on writing them down until Trump dies of old age or hamberder liver (or heaven forbid he pardons himself)
We have the tools even without nukes to raze land to the ground. Using a nuke might have the added bonus of "solve" climate change by making it a permanent nuclear winter.
A goddamn big ol' lie that is. The U.S. would not be afraid to push the envelope against most other countries. The U.S. military is capable enough to singlehandedly wipe out all of Israel and Palestine more than 10 times over in conventional warfare if it were so desired. Not that this is desirable, and it would cost many lives of the innocent and young, but I'm just speaking that this power and capability can't really be hidden by pretending you can't do anything about it.
If there was any value as a world of nations we could get out of such exorbitant expenses, it would be to establish peace and stop the fighting on both sides, by various means and escalating degrees of force if they really were compelled to. And even if we leave threatening or flexing military might out of the question, the U.S. has so many strings they can attach to how they support Israel with funding and arms, is it not obvious to this administration?
Where the heck is the notion that the U.S. government's hands are tied coming from?
I wonder if it will be anything like the Rogers outage in Canada. A bad software maintenance update made their infrastructure malfunction and so many people were offline from a few days to a week.
You're absolutely right. The idea to "have to go through HR process" when a favourite successor was already named is so annoying for both the group trying to retain the person and outside candidates. It would be better if they could at least be up-front about having a favourite candidate already.
The other annoying thing is requisition postings staying up after the position was already filled. I had to find out through someone I knew at the company that that was the case in one instance.
Once or twice, in a paragraph where I changed the formatting to get as many lines as I wanted to overlap on a single line and white text, I decided to put "If put in the role of [role] I am hopeful to learn to..." Then I paraphrased every job duty and qualification into that single line. That got me a screening call for a position I was still 3 to 5 years from being qualified for.
He's been in the same role for 10 years and unwilling to "lie" to get a promotion or a new role, so that is where we are. This 30% of honest employees is probably not getting the best jobs.
Exactly, and when you hear stuff like some HR people 'not accepting career gaps for any reason', it's cause for some people to make up some BS about it to get around that. I'm not very good at lying, but what recruiters want are stories, and thus I can justify "white lies", omissions, minor embellishments to give them what they want and play their game. Don't lose your integrity, but honesty is not the best policy in the job hunt until you have a contract. It took a year for me to figure that out.
Over that time though recruiters at different companies were all over the place in terms of quality, when they did reach out. Some company's processes are well-defined, transparent and their recruiters actively keep you up to date. Despite not ultimately being hired there, one company I was really impressed by their process, more than any other. Some HR teams you have to keep following up, they never give clear answers and drag you along for over more than a month without really telling you where things are at. That was more frustrating to me than no response or any rejection.
Lying is one thing, but if the whole "prettying up resumes, cover letters and conduct at interviews" is lying, then it's the employers who are choosing the liars and make this process this way.
Not to mention the posted job description and duties often either are very different, or the description doesn't tell the full story, or is so generic and lacks substance.
These things I did to get hired... are they lying?
Describe something I contributed as part of a team as my own success.
Change a job title of something to the effect of "Co-op Student" to something that more accurately described what I was doing.
Playing the "Tell me about a time when" scenario game, trying to recall something I did 4 years ago on the spot. Not every detail is perfect in my memory, and the interviewer expects a comprehensive demonstration of your skills in a tough situation, so I make sure the story fits in an easily digestible arc, and miss or fill in details to achieve that. Not like "everyone clapped and my boss hugged me" but stuff that my former boss would say "seems legit" if the company were to go as far as fact-check me on it.
Candidates "lie" because truth filters you out of these stupid human resources systems. Rant over.
Yeah, it's definitely not perfect at release... I tell myself that Cities Skylines wasn't either in 2013 especially before Mass transit and other DLCs. I'm hoping the incremental performance improvements will keep coming.
My city is at 90k now and it's harder to play, sitting at about 10fps... Might be time to start a new city at 100k.
I won't disagree with your stance, but I have just one question...
In which currency are you getting $100 for the basegame? Canada it's $70 (rounding up), but pre-release it was C$60, USD it's $50, in NZD it's $80. The deluxe version isn't worth it at all, you basically get the Golden Gate Bridge and the promise of a few assets and a DLC over the next year... for double the price.
Eh, I wouldn't disparage the parent commentor for giving the release-day version an earnest try. Some people will be okay with the game in the state it's in right now, some won't, and that's fine.
I think they also would agree they expect it to get better with another 6 months of active development, especially preparing for console release.

On vacation from work for a few days... really needed it (if you can see my IP you'd know where at).
