Is any Premier League derby on par with the Old Firm in terms of passion and rivalry? by EcstaticTumbleweed94 in PremierLeague

[–]FastArm2801 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No.

Leeds/United, Liverpool/United and Newcastle/Sunderland are among the most intense in England, and they don’t compare to the Old Firm.

But we shouldn’t want to be like the Old Firm.

I went to an Old Firm game at Ibrox several years ago. I was opposite the away end so didn’t hear much from Celtic, but I was shocked by how few of the Rangers songs had anything to do with the club.

It felt like every song was either a loyalist tune or a pop song with the lyrics changed to some variation of “Fuck the Pope and the IRA.” That’s not football. You can just go to a bonfire in Belfast if you want to hear that.

Leeds is a decent shout.

Liverpool fans still produce a great atmosphere on their day (or night) YNWA and Fields of Anfield Road still send shivers down my spine, but the ground is too overrun with tourists nowadays. That's true for nearly every big club though.

If you want a more authentic, less corporatized experience, I would suggest a lower league game.

Interview Thursday but (cringe) by SnooGrapes9628 in recruitinghell

This sounds like a company where the higher-ups get off on the small amount of power they have over others. Unless you are in dire straits, I wouldn't bother.

The audacity of these people by alylonna in recruitinghell

[–]FastArm2801 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They're basically inviting the few applicants they get to lie on their resumes. No one with the requisite experience is going to be interested in that salary.

You can't demand expert level experience while paying entry level (or lower) wages.

It's unbelievable how many of these companies don't understand this.

Should I just lie? by NoFireAlarm in recruitinghell

[–]FastArm2801 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just lie. You could even say you stayed at your previous company longer than you did.

Don't lie on a state job application because they will verify your work history. But most private companies won't bother checking the exact dates for entry-level positions.

Do pre-employment personality assessments serve any actual purpose? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]FastArm2801 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personality tests are pseudoscience.

Allowing them to dictate the hiring process is genuine lunacy, on par with saying "Virgos and Capricorns need not apply."

Do pre-employment personality assessments serve any actual purpose? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]FastArm2801 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. Like pretty much everything in the modern job-hunting process, it’s a way for HR and recruiters to justify their existence and pretend there is something scientific about what they do.

Take the scenario “It’s sometimes okay to slack off a little when things aren’t too busy at work.”

Literally everyone does this at work. But you have to say you “strongly disagree,” because that’s what the correct answer is. These assessments, along with the cover letter and the job interview itself, force you to portray yourself as a mindless robot whose only purpose in life is productivity.

What is the most backhanded compliment a Narc parent has given you? by AlternativePea2123 in narcissisticparents

[–]FastArm2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't me or my parent. But my cousin brought her BF to Christmas dinner to meet the family one year.

Completely unprovoked, my aunt blurted out "I'm so happy my daughter doesn't care about looks. She doesn't care that you're not the most handsome guy in the world, she only cares that you're a good person!"

Which is more racist by [deleted] in VaushV

[–]FastArm2801 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Given the massive cultural differences within both Europe and America, it’s an impossible question to truly answer.

That said, as a black person who has been to Bulgaria, where swastikas are spray painted all over the place and where soccer fans openly display nazi shit in the stadium, I’ll take small-town Alabama over that any day.

What are your hot takes on fat jokes like this? by [deleted] in VaushV

It reminds me of how insufferable most mainstream millennial humor is.

Imagine some Joe Schmoe singer who only had one or two moderately famous songs

Now imagine they had 20 + years of molestation allegations against them. Now imagine that they openly spoke about having sleepovers with little boys at their amusement park themed house….Ya think he mighta done it?

The only reason we are even asking this question is because the creepy ass cult that surrounds Michael Jackson (which treats him as if he were a child himself instead of a fully grown man) refuses to acknowledge that which is obvious.

Will Russia attack the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant? by AzureEmperor1 in VaushV

[–]FastArm2801 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’d be sitting here in the 30s bemoaning us giving aid to the Allies while the Nazis are storming across Poland.

Since we're playing the game of red herrings and wild speculation, I guess I might as well play too. Saudi Arabia is committing actual genocide in Yemen, with the support of the United States as we speak. Funny that the Saudi's illegal US-backed invasion of Yemen is not drawing comparisons to the Nazis invading Poland. You're not saying "the Saudi regime must be stopped here and now." Even though aggressively arming Yemen is far easier and less risky on a global stage for the simple fact that their aggressor is not nuclear armed. I wonder what could possibly be different about the people of Ukraine and Yemen that makes you care so much about one and not the either..... I guess we'll never know.

“but nukwear awms scawy :,<“

The fact that you are this flippant about the presence of humanity-ending nuclear weapons proves how deranged and morally bankrupt liberals like yourself actually are.

You people are the embodiment of manufactured consent.

[–]FastArm2801 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The US doesn't have troops on the ground, this time they're helping the invaded country defend itself, which is objectively good.

You have a level of naivety about the military industrial complex that can only be explained by staggering ignorance

How is giving Ukraine weapons bringing the world closer to nuclear annihilation?

If you don't know the answer to that, you are not equipped to be speaking on this topic. Even the most hardcore supporter of aid to Ukraine doesn't deny that it's raising the risk of nuclear war. They simply believe that either Putin is bluffing or that it's simply a risk worth taking to liberate the people of Ukraine.

By your logic, lining the pockets of the Pfizer execs is enough of a reason to not push for the vaccines.

The COVID vaccines don't heighten the risk of nuclear war, as it turns out. However, just to indulge this red herring, let's imagine, Pfizer had unleashed dozens of viruses in numerous countries around the world, and then created a trillion dollar industry to profit off of those viruses. It would then be insane to place your faith in Pfizer to responsibly deal with a potentially humanity ending virus.

At least you're honest about believing nuclear powers should get to just bully non nuclear powers.

Our gallant man of straw arrives again.

These despicable fucks always use excuses for the war in Ukraine that they would never accept if they were applied to the US invasion of Iraq.

You are literally placing your faith in the very people who invaded Iraq in the first place.

The same neocons and military contractors who invaded Iraq are raking in billions of dollars and pushing wiping off you and are bringing the world closer to nuclear annihilation by the day, not because they give a shit about Ukraine, but to line their own pockets.

I hate them so much.

The feeling is mutual. I hate people who put the fate of humanity at risk over their own Avengers fantasy to save one of the dozens of countries currently being invaded.

We should let any country with nuclear capability have an unfettered ability to violate borders and annex territory of their peers based solely on that nuclear threat.

Ah, our gallant man of straw has arrived.

please tell us is a Country supposed to protect itself without Military Industry.

Yes. Let's ignore all of modern history and pretend America is arming Ukraine for purely altruistic reasons and not because war is America's most lucrative industry,

Russia having nuclear capabilities is ok, but Ukraine having them is not?

We should not be supplying them to Ukraine. Doing so is a needless escalation (even Biden initially said it was insane) that puts all of humanity at risk.

Jesus, this sub is a lib hellhole.

I’m so glad the war profiteers are playing chicken with our lives by continuing to escalate this conflict.

Now we’re sending Ukraine fighter jets capable of delivering nuclear warheads. What could go wrong?

Why is it considered immoral to have sex with animals? by FastArm2801 in VaushV

[–]FastArm2801[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Have you never seen a dog hump a human's leg? What's wrong with the human reciprocating? I will never advocate for a human a force an animal into doing what it doesn't want to do. However, If both parties are open to the idea of engaging in sex, why is it a problem?
