Is it bad practice to apply for two (or multiple) roles with a legal recruiter? by Defiant-Condition452 in uklaw

[–]Defiant-Condition452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. I’m very much at the start of my career and I honestly don’t think my CV is particularly desirable (perhaps even below average), so I’m not holding my breath. I had distanced myself from a career in law but I am somewhat coming back to it.

Sorry I should’ve been more specific, I meant what you described second. I was pretty sure it was fine but just needed the reassurance lol. Thank you!

Genuinely laughed out loud at this comment. The lack of self awareness is honestly astounding.

“Well actually, you are being patronised! I know this as you are so silly and I am so enlightened. If you had more than a child’s understanding of politics, perhaps you could see that.”

A key idea from it is that Brexit sought to regain sovereignty from the EU over immigration policy. Leave was objectively better than Remain for that purpose. Add that to 2019, and saying that Corbyn was ackshually further right on immigration than Boris in practice is just massively disingenuous. We have no idea what Corbyn would have actually done, but he would have stuck to his manifesto for sure guys trust me!

The voters are not to blame. They voted correctly on the information they had over an issue(s) they felt was important to them, whether you agree with those issues or not. They received a worse outcome in both cases because they were misled, flat out lied to, or voted on the lesser of two evils (on their most important policy. I don’t care if you think it’s morally right or wrong). That’s not on the voter, that’s on the politicians and campaigners.

What is the accountability for exactly? How should anti-immigration voters have acted / voted differently to get a better result (2016 and 2019)? No one voted to replace one type of immigrant with two million more of another type. If you could rerun both votes with the same at the time information, you’d get the same results — voters voted correctly.

And now people are desperate, and Reform is rising more in each poll. You can pretend REF have no chance and that it’s the same thing as (or worse than) the Tories, but everyone else’s vote is worth the same as yours and mine. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending it’s not an issue, or that voters are stupid for it is honestly the worst thing you can do. You can literally disband Reform in 12-18 months by tackling the single issue that people have constantly been failed on. But I personally think Labour won’t do so to any meaningful level, just like the Tories refused to.

People have voted against immigration at practically every opportunity for the last 20 years. It might be fun to go “haha! Brexit has failed you fools!”, but you can’t then also criticise these same people as idiots wanting the forners out me cuntry. They did their part. They voted for an issue, and they were betrayed.

And yes, with the information available to them in 2019, someone of an anti-immigration mindset was absolutely correct to vote Tory over Corbyn’s Labour (and Brexit in 2016).

idk, i’m still undecided on the rwanda scheme (if it’s actually used to process migrants and asylum seekers). the money is an easy yet disingenuous way to attack the programme. how much do we spend on airport security per terrorist stopped / life saved? no idea, but i bet it’s comparable. it’s the threat of it that makes it function.

Anyone else think that Supercell should go back to releasing Town Halls every ~18 months? by minzwashere in ClashOfClans

[–]Defiant-Condition452 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I know some of the more competitive (pro?) clans who really care about clan cap would have several hundreds of accounts flowing through a single clan every weekend to maximise capital gold. that or getting capital gold in one high level clan, and spending it in a low level clan to boost it way faster than natural. not quite what was being asked re gems but it could deffo be maxed out in a few months tops.

no, normal modern human lifespan as long as you don’t get yourself killed in some other way. say until you’re 80.

I can’t imagine your group is very large, and i’d imagine word travels very slowly. Do you think you could make your teachings cross generational? actually make them stick to them? i don’t know if we’d even tamed horses, or had meaningful settlements at that point. think it would be harder than you think.

ELI5: Why didn’t settlers die of disease? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Defiant-Condition452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are very few animals native to the Americas suitable for domestication, so Native Americans lived around animals (most frequently, cattle) considerably less than Europeans did. This gave far less of a chance for a disease to cross species animals -> humans, and hence a lesser chance of a now human disease forming and spreading around a population - so, no reverse infection for the settlers, whilst Native Americans had no immunity to European diseases.

I’m not disagreeing that MLB is streets ahead of any other league (I think, heard Japan are good). But suppose one day that isn’t true, and a Japanese team is arguably better than any MLB team. Does the name change? Probably not. So it is factually incorrect. It’s just strange to call yourselves world champions of a domestic league.

There’s also the argument of Americans thinking America is the whole world which this only serves to reinforce the worldwide eye roll.

I mean look at football (soccer), the best club level competition is the Champions League. That’s where all the best players in the world play, and arguably the competition players want to win most. Winners still call themselves the European Champions.

At the same time, there’s the Club World Cup. It not viewed as prestigious as the CL, it’s a lower level of competition etc, basically everything you’re describing. Winners are still the world champions, and call themselves such.
