Depends on the field. In my field people talk. Word would get around that you lied, plus you might get reported to our certification board. If that happened, there would be no interview at the second company because your certification would be gone and not coming back, and everyone checks certification status because it’s so easy.

And it shows! You look like just 1.8 hippos now!

Did they? Unless they edited their comment, it sounds very open to me.

I love getting overpowered early on and coasting through the rest of the game. I’m also a junk collector and try to get as much stuff as I can so that whenever a new recipe opens up, I can make whatever my team needs and continue the coasting.

Decades. The frequency might decrease after the president they blamed was out of office, but they’d attach it to the Democratic party and haul it out and dust it off periodically to blame the Democratic party.

I just turn it around. “I have blah blah skills and interests. It looks like you need blah and offer blah opportunity.” It’s easy for me, though, because I have a specialty certification.

Many of us are ambivalent. We are overwhelmed by the terrible things happening around us. We can stick our heads in the sand, but we can’t help fix things if we don’t know what is happening. I take breaks from Trump/Musk news, but I can’t stay away forever if I want to fight for my family, and maybe my country.

Yes, equal to 3 thermals or 6 splinters.

Or maybe just dismembered without the drawing… They’ve been through enough…

I’m talking about a distinction for why not holding elections in Ukraine might be acceptable, while it is not in the U.S.

The line of succession does not get any better. Vance will be a puppet, but he will also be more cruel to try to show that he’s as good as DJT. He can’t command DJT’s followers like DJT. So, he’s going to try to control them in other ways. That’s when things will get out of hand.

I would add that the war with Ukraine is also happening on Ukraine soil, which is very different than a war happening across large bodies of water, as is more likely for the U.S.

The wisest people in the room will be able to do that, but I don’t think you have to have had different/the wrong opinion to have that status. The wisest people listen, consider, and use all available information to make the best possible decisions.

House breaking them will be the big problem.

Again, how likely do you think that is?

I agree with your position, but think it’s even worse than the situation depicted in your analogy because of the security implications and the accountability implications. I don’t know how to represent those in your analogy, though. Lol

Well, we won’t hold that against you, that’s for every man to decide for himself.

My wife is educated, and can hold her own in a conversation. She’s witty and capable. I open her car door (not every time) because I like doing something nice for her. She appreciates the gesture, but doesn’t expect it. I think we should let the people in the relationship decide what works for them.

My old boss said he knew a married couple who sat down every year on their anniversary and discussed whether they wanted to remain married. I got the impression they had been together for quite some time and really cared for each other. That is not for me, but if that works for them, great!

Funny, mine is the other way. I get in mine the way the ghost programs do in the 2nd Matrix movie.

He and the people propping him up. There are a fair number of them.
