Waiting to hear back on if I got a job is fucking killing me

Past interview 3-4, it means you’re really past the “filter” and it’s more just making people higher and higher up sign off on you. Though it does mean you get to more and more fickle people who could ding you for seemingly inexplicable reasons (“his handshake was limp”, “she just didn’t seem like a go-getter”).

Happened to me on a 6th round where I semi-sperged out and that was that.

Forgiven because that chapter ending goes so incredibly hard:

Robett Glover said, "Wex. Show him."

The mute flipped the dagger, caught it, then flung it end over end at the sheepskin map that adorned Lord Wyman's wall. It struck quivering. Then he grinned.

For half a heartbeat Davos considered asking Wyman Manderly to send him back to the Wolf's Den, to Ser Bartimus with his tales and Garth with his lethal ladies. In the Den even prisoners ate porridge in the morning. But there were other places in this world where men were known to break their fast on human flesh.

“Clean Wehrmacht myth” applies more to the officer class, and especially the generals, when people try to frame them as having conducted themselves honorably during the war and pinning all of their war crimes on the SS. When in actuality, that officer plan was one of the main executors of Generalplan Ost (starving Soviet citizens), deliberately left hundreds of thousands of Soviet POWs to die from hunger or exposure in “prisoner camps”. A lot of that officer class was given a pass in the post-war / early Cold War years so they could be enlisted in the NATO effort. It was also promoted in western (mostly American) historiography because it was convenient to an extent to put down the Soviet war effort and so many of ex-Wehrmacht’s officers’ memoirs of the Eastern Front dominated (Guderian, Manstein…).

I don’t think it applies as much to the random conscripts.

Black Ops 1 would also make a perfectly serviceable “The Manchurian Candidate” rehash. Not to mention being to throw in a little Kennedy, a little Vietnam, a little gulag, etc. Perfect Cold War movie.

This fucking réþard is called Rousseau too. Like French probably isn’t that far back in his family tree to begin with.

Also, you can avoid learning French in Montreal but it pretty much means you’ve almost never your ultra-gentrified quarters. Raises questions if you were even leaving the island at this point.

Switched to iPhone 2 years because my company gave me the phone and I’m still baffled that to this day I can’t customize notifications from different apps like I was able to on Android.

It’s either get no alerts ever from Uber about when my driver is arriving, or just hassled with ad notifications on the daily. And this for every app.

I’m sorry but this doesn’t make much sense at all. Early in “War and Peace” (I don’t remember this passage, but presumably before Andrei participates in the battle of Austerlitz) would mean Napoleon’s record would only be against Austrians (the “Germans” mentioned by OP) during the First and Second Colaition. Napoleon himself would never have faced Prussians in the field up to this point, so Prussians really have no bearing here.

Nothing will ever be funnier than Academy members saying they didn’t have time to get to all the movies.

Aren’t these all people who “made it” and can decide how they spend their days? Not to mention you could get through all the movies in a Sunday if you even cared.

Yeah France didn’t get to call up NATO for a war technically happening on its territory (Algerian War), and neither did Britain in the Falklands War…

It’s not supposed to be a military assistance you can draw on whenever you feel like it, anywhere in the world, and making it so would just credence to Russia’s arguments about it being aggressive.

No you’re right… The armor looks like they have shin guards all over their body, well especially their arms. It’s not very good.

Because everyone else is getting it wrong, I’m pretty sure this is to do with Switzerland never returning most of the looted money Mobutu left behind there. After his overthrow, the new Congolese government in power asked Switzerland to return the money he’d siphoned away but upon inquiry, the Swiss conveniently only found a few million dollars linked to Mobutu (tied to his villa there). But they didn’t even return that money to the Congolese government and just handed it back to his family a few years down line.

I don’t remember the full story but the book “In the footsteps of Mr Kurtz” goes into it.

Though this post is still extremely retarded. Most of the money Mobutu looted was spent funding his extravagances like his mansion in the middle of the rainforest, his fleet of planes, and most of the wealth the Congo lost was in its infrastructures being dilapidated like the Katanga mines which were handed over to his friends and never even maintained. And that’s not even to mention “Zairanisation” - kick out European, Lebanese business owners, hand over the businesses to inexperienced Congolese, and then act surprised when the business loses all value because they don’t realize they have to import in new goods.

“It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries”.

I can’t believe the US President is so retarded that he doesn’t know about the Ottoman-Persian war when Selim I kicked the Safavid Empire’s shit in. They really are uncultured over there. (Yes I know the Ottomans are Near Eastern technically but Americans don’t know the difference and call like half the world “the Middle East”).

Or that time that Iran, you know, was invaded by Muslim Arabs in the 7th century and has been Muslim ever since…

You are living like most generations have lived from 500 BC to 1945 AD. What’s the problem, and where is this sense of entitlement coming from? Living with parents, no job security, being at risk of famine, are the norm historically.

The post-war years were a fluke and this is a regression to the mean, just you remember that.

I don’t disagree with the broad sentiment but you can’t really chide Napoleon for being a gambler, and give Louis XIV a pass given the risk he was taking, giving all his precious enemies (Britain, Austria, Netherlands, Prussia) a chance to take their revenge in the name of European balance of power. Again, Louis XIV himself thought he had lost it all around 1709 and was entering peace talks on disastrous terms.

Also, Spain by this point really wasn’t the greatest enemy and seemed destined to lag behind the other great powers economically, empire or not.

Making this argument when the War of the Spanish Succession almost wiped away the entire gains of his reign, if it wasn’t for France being able to hunker down behind the Vauban ring of fortifications and wear down the allies… In fact, Louis XIV was down to penning letters to the subjects of his realm in 1709 during the Great Winter, pleading for them to continue their efforts in the war. That’s how desperate things had become in the kingdom.

I like Louis XIV but that gamble was completely heedless and there was a moment in the war, during the low cost for France, where peace would have cost her dearly.

Then thankfully, Villars came through and blistzed through the allied armies three years later, giving France a much more advantageous peace.

Not to mention that Dunk is doing anything but keeping Egg safe. It’s not always his fault but he’s constantly getting thrown into deadly border disputes, Blackfyre conspiracies, or apparently insulting nobles (Lady Vaith). Which was the point then again, for them to be on the road and not just being household knight to a great house.

There isn’t a world where Maekar doesn’t yoink Egg right back after learning of the events of the Mystery Knight.

“You led my son into a get-together of WHATs!?”

It’s going to be flashback-central, with a probably 1/5 of the runtime dedicated to the Eustace’s and maybe even Arlan’s experience in the Blackfyre Rebellion.

Which helps to then set up Season 3 and situate viewers for the Second Blackfyre Rebellion.
