I can only assume that mob of fresh accounts is sockpuppets meant precisely for trying to stir up conflict and detract from discussion of the actual topics raised by a story like this. Sorry if I accidentally gave them opportunity for more

Thanks for the insights. I'd say there are a fair bit of elements of that sort of gating for government jobs here as well actually, but here that's not so important for earning prospects since they're mostly not all that well

Many people got something of a head start adapting though? Seems like it's been the proposition from "social" "media" companies since 2004 or so to stop talking to friends, talking to their computers instead and con

I can sort of appreciate these shenanigans as short-lived common room humor, but I find it obnoxious to put it in the official terminology. It's bad enough all the corporations trying to steal perfectly active words for their brand nam

Then you either really haven't tried very hard to notice them or have been in an academic environment with severe defects. Does college even work for future economic prospects, by the way?

It's easy to fool oneself into thinking one knows the subject because somebody explained it well / demonstrated skills, and it made perfect sense. Unfortunately that, on its own, very much does not translate to being able to expla

No, if it makes to a busy long distance travel hub, there is ample cause for global. Everywhere should contribute to containing this, out of pure self-interest if nothing else.

Well put. Which goes to show maybe it's less about literal sovereignty than wanting to rely on parties less prone to exploit the reliance for stabbing you in the back. Considering it took decades of absolutely no meaningful action agai

Yep. Admittedly the post doesn't exactly claim it's due to biological aging, but it could be perceived as implied. It seems appropriate to also recognize that it's simply tiring to be to be in constant opposition to most of t
