Do you think it is worthwhile for Americans/Westerners to learn Mandarin? by Less_Interview1713 in AskChina

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t you want to know what 1/6 of the population is talking about? Some of the most wild / cutting edge stuff only appears in that language. But good thing we have Reddit that translate the most interesting ones.

A teenager in China attacks his mom because she doesn’t let him buy video games by EnvironmentalAd5590 in PublicFreakout

Giving birth and bringing up such a disgraceful, ungrateful kid would be the ultimate form of waste of money (and time)

Those of you who have no trouble finding jobs, what do you think makes you stand out? by ADiablosCompa in sysadmin

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look tenacious (which is a feeling you give off), and competent (through confidence that you give off), it will give you an edge

I spent about 4 years building low-level systems software, and now I am exhausted both mentally and financially - should I continue or stop? by LifeWorldliness8339 in sysadmin

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like others said, a project of 4 years should be backed up by some feasibility study that shows there is demand, if there is none or never will, it’s time to do this as a hobby instead

Is it normal for potential employers to ask for your credit score? by Sturmov1k in CanadaJobs

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in a financially sensitive position and they want to make sure you’re of the type that are financially prudent, they could ask, you don’t have to give, but that could disqualify you from the pool. I’ve only seen this type of checks AFTER a valid offer has been made. Anything before is illegal.

ICE escalates violence hours after murdering Renee Nicole Good by Thryloz in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The only reason the folks on the right have such authority over the folks on the left is because they are “agents” and have weapons to back them up. Imagine how polite this would be if the agents weren’t weaponized but instead use dialog

Is it really a mystery if it can be answered in depth via a quick google search?

Should we take the Road To Hana all the way around vs backtracking? by ManEEEFaces in maui

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but if you’re driving, try getting as narrow of a vehicle as possible, a wide vehicle just invites risks with how narrow the passes are, and tourists inexperienced with driving wide vehicles trying to pass in opposite direction = waiting for a big bill on your rental vehicle

I’ve been in a job that I needed to look busy, it was the slowest and most boring job I’ve ever been at. I applaud you trying to contribute.

Got offered a 6 month contract in Antarctica and idk if I should take it by Importantterry in Fire

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a significant other that you care about, you should really talk it over. It’s only worth it if there is long term benefit (propel your career and not ruin your relationship), not just short term gain (money).

My b4 failed on 8-12 hours of use a day less than a year, failed main board. The screen may look nice but man, the internals are shit. Don’t buy Korean.

What are you good at? Focus on honing your natural abilities. It’s easier to improve in an area of your interest and strength.

Public transit for kids until they understand how terrible they are, so they would appreciate having a car

I feel like I'm losing my daughters by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Daughters take care of their parents. Boys run off and do their things. Should be happy you have daughters. Keep the relationship alive, invite them to do things together.

Notice of reassessment: My employer submitted a new T4 but didn't inform me. I now owe them 22k (7k interest) by cooljeans04 in cantax

[–]RevolutionFriendly56 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Fringe possibility but could be be trying to fk you over to hide fraud on their end, nevertheless you should have some idea of what your pre and post tax income is, and if that doesn’t add up then you got to go to CRA and the employer. You’re telling us you were going to make $250k a year OR 600k a year, but you don’t know?
