I know FOIA doesn’t pertain to it, but it’s funny how the website mentions FOIA first thing while requiring you to sign up with your email to read the full article.

I’m sorry, but this exchange just made me bust out laughing.

I used to drive stick in one of the most dense cities and worst traffic on the planet. My left calf muscle is noticeably larger than my right. Manual is enjoyable and freeing, but at this point I prefer an automatic in urban areas with heavy traffic. The volume knob shifter is still weird though.

Try to get stuck at Changi airport at least.

While I’m here collecting free swag at the vendor booths.

System1 specifically, which is also mentioned in the article you linked. Privacy Tools has also lost their reputation recently. Privacy Guides is more of the standard now. I know they cleared up their position, but ads and privacy together just doesn’t sit right with me. I’m just glad there’s an alternative.

Transmission. Simple, fast, efficient.

Yes I should’ve clarified “confidential” PII. It’s just the initial job application, so all they need at this point is OP’s name, general location, and contact info; which they already have from linkedin alone. OP can send in their resume/CV, and that’s it. No need to give your exact address, birthday, etc. until you’re well into the hiring process already. Not in this initial phase.

If they bundled youtube music with it, maybe I’ll consider it. But this lite version will have ads on music and music videos.

They were bought by a shady company a while back.

I’m guessing it’s a small company if the owner is personally doing the hiring? In that case, it might be as simple as they need someone for a role asap that’s why they’re in a hurry; but yes it’s not a good look. It can also be a potential scam, as a lot scams use pressure as a modus operandi. I’d say just do more research on the company and the co-owner to determine if they are legit. No legit company will ask for money or PII as part of the application process, so if they start asking for things that isn’t necessary for a job application, end it there.

Not allowing you to study more as a result of failing a cert exam seems to be counterintuitive. I guess it would first depend on your current work relationship with your boss. If you have a good relationship and it’s easy to approach them about issues, I’d say ask them directly but respectfully. It would probably help to clarify your proposal (i.e. setting aside 30-60mins maybe at the tail end of your work day, and only on specific days of the week), so you’re just not coming in with a demand. Now obviously you have more pressure to pass the exams to justify it.

Vaporwave and Outrun. They pair well with the cyberpunk aesthetic as well.

I remember I applied to my first 2 jobs using my goofy yahoo email address. By my third job I had a more professional one.

Startpage was bought by a shady company a while back. Mullvad has been a trustworthy company so far. I’ve been a long-time startpage user and I’m glad there’s a better alternative.

Nice! I’ve been wanting to get off startpage for a while now. This is a perfect replacement.

Huh? What does that have to do with anything? The question is about police specifically.

I know this is bait, but I’ll bite. As said, I moved to the US, and I’ll be the first to say that regardless of everything that’s happening in the US today and all its faults, I still have a better QoL compared to my third world home country. And I usually say that as a response to people who say the US is a third world country wearing a gucci belt, people who’ve never actually lived in a third world country.

You need a work visa. You can’t just accept a job offer and move. The company would have to sponsor you and there’s paperwork involved to allow you to legally work in that country. Some countries have limits to the type of jobs they allow foreign workers to take, and it’s usually the ones they are lacking labor locally. There might also be minimum qualifications (i.e. education level, language skills).

That was gnarly. I think his knee went farther back than Giannis’.
