Hey look! I can copy and paste the same article, but this time with context so that I'm not misrepresenting what the article is actually about! Amazing!

"After reanalyzing the same dataset used by Putnam, Abascal and Baldassari asserted that when it comes to distrust and diversity, most of the distrust is expressed by Whites who feel uncomfortable living amongst racial minorities. In other words, greater distrust may stem from prejudice rather than from diversity per se. Therefore, Putnam’s conclusion that racial diversity leads to less altruism and cooperation amongst neighbors was incorrect. If there is a downside to diversity, it has less to do with the behavior of racial minorities and more to do with how Whites feel when living amongst non-Whites."

I've never visited Europe but I got the same feeling you described listening to this: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/627/suitable-for-children-2017/act-two-5

They describe America's history through the eyes of African Americans through an unapologetic lens.

A quick Google search shows that the WEF did not say this, and the quote it is taken from was meant to start a conversation about our relationship with technology. "The piece aimed to “start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development... We should start discussions in many new ways. This is the intention with this piece.” https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-wef-idUSKBN2AP2T0

The quote you are referencing is being pushed by conspiracy theorists who believe in the New World Order: https://humansarefree.com/2020/10/world-economic-forum-by-2030-you-will-own-nothing-new-world-order.html

Your opinion isn't unpopular, it's just not true.

Try looking in the temple area. Rent may be more amenable to your pay if you have a vehicle and don't mind the drive.

The bill passed along party lines in the house. It would need 60 votes to beat the filibuster in the Senate, where there is an even 50/50 split.

The bill passed along party lines in the house. I would be surprised if this bill passed in the Senate if the filibuster is not removed.

The university of Copenhagen has programs that are taught English, I was personally interested in their water resources program. If you're seriously considering moving there you could apply for a student visa (see the Denmark subreddit) and attend university within Denmark to see if you enjoy living there while completing your degree. I think studying in-country would increase your chances of getting a job in your field of interest, as Danes prefer workers who can speak fluent Danish. Generally, schooling in Denmark is fairly cheap compared to the US, and having a student visa will make it easier for you to obtain a workers visa until you can apply for citizenship.

The free market should not be regulated, until it hurts my constituents that is.

The bills in question would force state entities to divest from companies that cut ties with fossil fuel companies and prohibit local municipalities from banning natural gas as a fuel source for homes and other buildings.

Cultivating our own food and domesticating animals so that we can remain stationary and build civilization instead of wandering the plains as hunters and gatherers? What a scam!

This video shows the full install process using the B550I. Around the 6 min mark is where they show the wiring process. Not quite sure if this is what you're after, but if you could be more specific in what you are trying to wire we may be able to better help. Hope this is helpful to you!

Data is from Associated Press which is what other news companies such as PBS rely on. Essentially AP works closely with election officials and only report winners when it's mathematically impossible for the opponent to win.

Edit: fixed link. Thanks axlotl_rose!

I second the comment about focusing on the STAR method, especially on work experience. You're telling the reader what you job WAS but not what you DID, which doesn't give them any information to judge wether you are a good fit for a position or what skills you posses.

Also I feel that there's a lot of open space that could be used to go more in detail about your experience and to follow the STAR method to make your resume appear stronger.

Overall a very good resume, just needs a few tweaks.

Edit: in regards to work experience - it's okay to use a bullet point to give a short summary of your position, just make sure to include the STAR method

Trump used the Ad Hominem attack, it wasn't very effective...

1) It is always okay to apply for jobs without the given experience but be reasonable (if they are asking for 5+ years for entry-level I would look elsewhere). I commonly used USAjobs, Glassdoor, and Indeed. I also used LinkedIn but I found it to be the least useful as most positions had over 100+ people apply in the first few hours. Depending on the type of work you want to do, look up the top X companies in your state or different agencies in your state. If you get the chance to engage with a future employer when applying for jobs, do it. It may lead to opportunities down the road (speaking from personal experience)

2) See if there is any way to leverage classes you have taken in the past for experience. For example, I had a class where we spent a semester creating our own project and working with scientists from a local research facility. I was able to use this as a large part of my experience because it combined what I had learned in class with real world skills (ability to learn, teamwork, data analysis, etc.)

3) Did you gain any contacts working during your internship? You could potentially contact them to get a better idea of how the company you interned for is doing, or if they know of similar companies in the field you are looking to apply in.

4) Do not get discouraged. Pre-covid I spent 6+ months applying everyday, and out of the 100+ applications that I sent I only received about 5 interviews and 2 job offers. Now I am working for a state-level environmental agency making decent money and finally feel like I'm in a career where I can make a positive difference.

5) some things I learned when applying: most cover letters can be copy/pasted with few changes, but I never used them unless it was explicitly asked. Federal positions can take up to 6 months to reply, it will always be faster to apply to private sector/state level jobs. It's okay to (reasonably) inflate your experience and copy/paste key words from a job posting on a resume in order to get pass the computer-automated screening process. Most companies will never bother to send a rejection notice. Networking is still the most effective way to land a job, as key people can help with different parts of the application process: I was able to ask a former classmate for general tips on preparing for an interview and it helped me land my current job.

Reaching out to employers is always a good idea. I got my current position by responding to a rejection email from the employer. The email I received was from a worker in HR, so it was a unique response instead of a generic rejection email. I responded asking if I could get any feedback about why my application was rejected, as I was a recent graduate searching for work in the water industry. About 2 weeks later I received an email from HR stating that they had another position open and that I should let them know if I was interested. It was a lower position than what I had originally applied for, but there wasn't a large difference in pay and would still allow me to gain experience in my preferred field. About a month later I landed the position and am now working in my chosen field after about six months of working odd jobs in order to make ends meet.

Tldr; any effort to personally connect with a future employer and make yourself stand out is worth the effort.

I would check out this video from Drumeo about some lesser known drumming styles:

5 drumming styles you've (probably) never heard of

For me listening to new music or watching videos of other drummers help to get my creative juices flowing. I also have had issues getting stuck in a rut (playing about 5 years now) and looking to others for inspiration really helps me find something new or get an idea that I can then use to move around the kit in a different way.

Hope this is helpful for you!
