I'm just saying the highlighted bits there describe exactly what every single person that's graduated college in the past five or so years believes happens when they submit their resume to a private company.
Sorry I've only worked bespoke international engineering consulting jobs in the past few years.
Once I get past an organization size of 10 people or so I'm unhireable.
The real kicker there is the OPM calculates who to hire based on self-assessments ("resume copy pasting" is the first gate) and then adds in veterans preference where the entire candidate pool for every OPM regulated job is 296 veterans who self-assessed themselves as masters of the universe and 4 regular people.
I love the positions that operate on point systems and they tell you right up front veteran status is +5 or +10
Dude you need to stop working and applying for this big ass corporate jobs if this is how they do hiring
Wtf lmao there is no way that’s how they’re doing hiring I have never heard of someone doing that.
I dont think hiring in the real world are really done through job applications
It's more through knowing people then going thru this process as a facade
Hence the post the position at the middle of the night thing (but in private sector you can just hire who you want it doesn't have to be so disguised like this)
Last thing is I've noticed people who are hired the "right" way (aka they applied, didn't know anybody, went through interviews and stuff) don't really "stick" - aka in layoffs they are first to get cut even if they are good and are making real contributions
I’ve gotten lower end jobs by just applying and then showing up and asking to talk to the manager but that was when I was like 18
But any other job yea I knew someone
Finished the second Thiel one-hour interview. Apparently there is another one coming from this same interviewer.
I have to say this one was pretty odd. The interviewer seemed to want to talk about a lot of vaguely-spiritual, Christian theology-type concepts. It's all very abstract and not very practical other than as a commentary on the fact that Thiel seems to think a lot about existential threats to humanity and about scientific progress and how the two might go hand-in-hand.
There was one interesting moment where Thiel talks about the pandemic - he seems to view COVID as a bioweapon that came from a lab. Which I have to say is interesting for a fairly mainstream/traditional podcast/interviewer format. I imagine he talked about this extensively on Rogan lol
Babys First Thiel right here.
Real Thielbux recipients have to have a deep knowledge of the works of Renee Girard and spend the majority of their time pondering Christian eschatology.
PUTIN IS THE ONE DOING THAT DUMBFUCK
you literally act like Russian did nothing wrong. fucking dumb fuck gulping down shaky ahistorical anecdotes like he gulps down tucker carlson and peter theil cum
its genuinely so straight forward
do you think invading ukraine with a plainclothes army and annexing crimea was okay? totally not a "destabilizing act bringing us closer to Ww3" the way you describe Biden's reactions to this madness as the REAAAL problem. Even though all of NATO including the sec gen has said they're committed to protecting Ukraine SINCE DAY ONE
But no you like simple answers to complex questions, so 'Biden did this!!!'' is your comfort zone
most EU countries wanted to be MORE hawkish and expedite long range missiles and planes
Biden was the one slowing that process down
Same story when EU wanted to give Ukr modern tanks... know which country was LAST ONE ON BOARD? FUCKING YOU
ot to mention your dumbass misundersting of the logistics involved.
Giving a country , say , $500m of artillery shells that YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TO DISPOSE OF, so actually SAVING MONEY is technically $500m in aid to Ukraine.
YOUR DUMB ASS sees a headline like that and goes "omg why are we sending ukraine $500m in cash"
SOMETHING LIKE 80% of US aid was as described above
you are so wrong, so far removed from the truth, it's fucking depressing that people lik you exist tbh
france and UK have been twice as hawkish as fucking biden
as has poland and the baltic nato members
but no it's all joe bindens fault, literally the last one to OK every new piece of gear
ukraine is a real country, literally everyone has now a huge sense of national identity
even back then they did
a country that is your 'ally' puts you through a brutal and unnecessary
famine killing 10s of millions and leading to awful, dark and desperate times where nothing was off limit if it meant surviving another day
you seem to forget the reason the Maidan happened was because their PM literally told a bald faced lie, promises a road to EU (NOT NATO) membership, and came back from that same meeting with a new deal with Putin
I think they have every right to depose a leader like that, and they did. they did not need the USA's help, even if some existed. Go watch Winter on Fire to see the absolute scale of people willing to fight, all the way back in 2014, not to be a part of Russia, not to even have a trade deal with them. Half the fucking country was in Kyiv fighting it out with loyalist military/police
After that, Putin invades. because he wanted to maintain control. no other reason. not because "uh uh they want to be russian they are russian"
not because of Avoz
he did it coldly, pragmatically, and ruthlessly, just to try to keep his grip on the country
that was his intent the whole time
he was not willing to accept any situation without a pro russian PM in Ukraine, and is willing to use his military as well as commit egregious violations of military code by invading as plainclothes with no patches
That is the origin of the entire conflict.
Simple greedy imperialism.
Do you think that's okay? you support that?
so you're cool with a fascist country invading and conquering their neighbours all across europe? you realise they arent going to stop in Ukraine?
what a coward.
if anybody in your family history served in WW2 they'd be rolling in their graves. you pathetic coward. too comfortable with the life they gave you to even fight for it.
And the idea you can't engage them conventionally because they might do an armageddon is ridiculous and wrong.
they are bluffing, you are falling for it. they would surrender like dogs, not commit suicide.
and thats not even considering that NATO has a policy of containment and would never march on Moscow, even in a direct war. You leave them a path to surrender with some dignity and they will take it
