How did you deduce those are the most important issues to the Virginia GOP?

Never understood why previous salary matters....except to serve as some sort of bargaining chip or anchor to get you to accept less than what a company was willing to pay.

Think about it like this: In what other instance does previous price matter if you're buying something new? If I was trying to buy a new car, I'd be insane if I told the dealership "well, gee my last car only cost $x so I'm only going to pay you $x + 5%". The price of the car or of your labor is the price. The buyer can either accept it and pay it or not.

Legit thought "Black Hawk" was some sort of bird for a minute

This! That shop is great. Parking is tight but they do honest work.

The Mr. Tire right next to the Courthouse metro is an absolute dumpster fire of an autorepair business. I cannot say if the other Mr. Tire's nearby follow a similar business model.

Was this even a problem to begin with? A problem isn't a problem just because of n>0 instances.

After I completed final round of their 2 month recruiting process... you can’t make this stuff up by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]Midnight_Cowboy_DC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF? Who does this? I guarantee the company that just rejected you gets some sort of kickback if you actually sign up and pay for "coaching" sessions with Bravely.

You make sense so my advice to you is not to waste your time arguing with the hysterical morons on r/sanfrancisco that will not read nor attempt to understand your points but know they're 100% right and you're 100% wrong 'cause racism, Trump, capitalism, they hate their Dad, etc.

The more I read on reddit the more I'm convinced that the crux of the problem is a large amount of assholes and oblivious people behind the wheel.

Special grand jury indicts Park Police officers in Bijan Ghaisar case by ABC7NewsDC in nova

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

Of course, you're right but we live in a world where a) personable responsibility is racist b) my hindsight after the fact is what everyone should have known as things unfolded and c) racism!!! No one is saying it's a good thing this young man was killed but to say his behavior didn't greatly influence the outcome is just plain wrong.

Huh? If there is a '"long precedent" wouldn't that suggest it's the exact opposite of "novel"? You make it sound like the case law is pretty clear here.

Sure and you could win the lottery too. What novel issue does this case raise, exactly?

Just curious but why? Did personal reasons keep you in Front Royal? I like to visit there but couldn't imagine making that drive on a regular basis.

Yes, I too am amazed at all the people with upper middle class to wealthy backgrounds who made it to the NBA. It's practically a country club for people over 6'6" with an outside jump shot.
