I've had around 15 jobs since i was in high school, across multiple states with moves, some of them pretty brief when i found better opportunities, several in fast food, retail, and factory labor. I do not list any of them on my resume as a data engineer.

Nobody cares or wants to see your entire work history as a student. They want to see your professional work experience that is relevant to your desired roles. Hell I have even made multiple versions of my resume with different jobs listed or delisted depending on the field I was applying for.

But on none of them do i put that in worked at Burger King at 16 years old for 4 months, nor the better paying job I got at a Steak n Shake as a server where I worked until I left for college. I don't list my shitty campus dining court dishwasher job, or my Sam's Club Cafe job I had at College either. Now I have listed my programmer internship from this time though, even though I don't list the seasonal Gamestop job and the chicken processing jobs i had afterwards, because programming is relevant... chicken cutting is not. Just because there are gaps doesn't mean I wasn't working. I was far too broke not to.

Copyright laws are bullshit in that their terms are way too long and are often too easily abused against people who are using copywritten materials under fair use. However copyright as a concept is not bullshit. Creative works, including photography, should absolutely be protected from unauthorized use for the benefit of the creator.

Also, there is nothing redeemable about Trump. Even if you feel that copyright law is somehow fundamentally wrong, the correct position can actually be "fuck all parties involved" instead of supporting Trump hawking his swag to pay for his campaign of fascism.

It's pretty simple, actually. The bomber will be functionally invisible. So, it's in the square where you can't see it. You're welcome.

Finally someone asks the real question. Is there an objective definition to life that Virus may or may not fall under? Or would it depend on Thano's subjective opinion on the matter?

That would imply that 50 percent of the snapped people's biomes remained behind. All of the produce in the grocery stores would be covered in an airborne mist of E. coli, and snapped surgeons that were mid-operation would give their patients staph infections, assuming the suriviving surgery team was able to stablize and close them up before they died anyway. Neat.

Also when those snapped people returned with the half of their biomes that also got snapped, you would get a sequel to the diarrhea. Diarrhea 2: Electric Boogapoo.

Yeah, no, the way we were taught was often lacking too. Definitely not advocating for the old school methods as a whole. It was still very prescriptive and the whole "show you work" mentality with a rigid methodology expectation meant that even though I could rapidly do stuff in my head by using these shorthand techniques, I still had to write out the slower longer methods to demonstrate that I was able to. For my ADHD ass, that shit was torture.

I think common core went in the right direction. Teaching shorthand techniques that may not have been naturally apparent to some students probably made doing arithmetic more accessible to some. But I think it was an over correction. They should have been teaching them the basics without the rigidity and prescriptivity, but following that up with giving them useful techniques/tools to make arithmetic smoother and easier for different types of thinkers. Instead, they skipped or breezed over the basics, went straight to the techniques and then maintained that prescriptive expectation of the "show your work" mentality to ensure and enforce the techniques are being followed properly.

I understand why they maintained that show your work mentality to an extent. The teachers need to be able to understand how you arrived at an answer, correct or incorrect, and identify mistakes in logic so that it can be fixed. But the entire point of those techniques is that you understand the underlying logic but find a method of thinking that makes it easier for you and makes sense. As demonstrated in this thread, there's a number of different shorthand methods, and different preferences for them for every person. Teaching and practicing all these different patterns of meta techniques to add numbers and forcing them to write them out and explain them in weird esoteric ways is the literal opposite of the point of the techniques. I have to imagine it mostly confused their understanding of the basic logic as well.

Yeah that's a more accurate description of what i actually do in my head to. I'm not "adding 10", because I already would use a short hand method for adding 10 anyway to promoting the tens place or flipping the score card, as you said.

For sure. I was also surprised. They had a variety of band members/backup dancers and singers come and go, with only Victor being the one consistent member as the lead. But of the original line up, the ones that were featured in the music video for the YMCA, apparently only 2 of the 6 were openly gay, the ones dressed as the Indian and the cowboy. Apparently even the leather daddy biker with the horseshoe mustache was either straight or not open, which was the most surprising for me.

9 plus a number? No. 10 plus a number, minus 1. Yis.

 

This is from the last election in 2020. How fun that it's still relevant!
