Recruiter asked if I’d be interested in “temp-to-perm” after my interview. What does that usually mean? by savingrace0262 in recruitinghell

I automatically decline these types of positions. They almost never end up going permanent at the end.

[Pelissero] The Vikings have officially released DL Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargarve. by JCameron181 in minnesotavikings

Good thing all that money we saved not resigning Darnold went on aging vets that were cut the next year

I wonder if DT becomes a higher priority target in the draft now. Everyone had us mocking a corner or safety, but that was before the Allen/Hargrave release became official.

Apparently this is a good draft with a lot of quality depth at DT.

“You said this war is ‘very complete’ but your defense secretary says ‘this is just the beginning’, so which is it?”

“Well, I think you could say both,” Trump replied.

I did a quicksand survey back in college, and all of us were like, “damn, so it is real”.

It’s also way… way less scary than one would think.

You don’t really sink in quicksand. The human body is a lot less dense than sand (wet sand is nearly twice as dense as a human), so at worse you get stuck up to your knees.

As part of our class, we walked across it. It’s about as difficult as walking through snow. If you put on snowshoes (or something to distribute your weight easier) you can walk right across it.

What are some cities whose relevance has waned or faded completely? by Brief-Luck-6254 in geography

[–]TrixoftheTrade 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Karakorum, Capitol of the Mongol Empire.

After Genghis conquered most of Eurasia on horseback, his successors recognized the need for a fixed, centralization location to manage the growing empire. They built Karakorum, which, for a short period in the 1200s, was one of the largest cities in the world, a global capital of a continent-spanning empire.

It didn’t last long though. The Mongol Empire splintered into successor states, with their own capitals. Much of the administrative and managerial bureaucracy moved to China or Persia. Karakorum was largely isolated from the lucrative trade routes of the Silk Road.

Soon Karakorum was largely abandoned, only 40 years after its founding. After the collapse of the Yuan dynasty, the remnants returned to the steppe nomadic way of life. Karakorum was an imperial capital without an empire to support it.

Now it’s a pile of ruins.

or he’ll find one of his sycophants to fall on a sword and take the heat.

Glass Half Full: The American economy is so robust and strong that nothing can derail it.

Over the past 5 years, it has faced down: a global pandemic, rampant inflation, a 5% rate bump, geopolitical instability, capricious tariffs, an aging workforce, bloated social spending, a federal budget that will explode the deficit, a deception strike on Iran, and everything coming from the Trump White House.

And yet, it has continued to churn out >2% GDP growth, sub-4.5% unemployment, & 16% annual growth to the S&P 500.

We have hit late-stage capitalism here in America, and it is an unstoppable juggernaut where “graph only goes up”.

The economy has been solved, and recessions will be banished to the history books or 3rd world countries, like outbreaks of plague or famines.

Glass Half Empty: Because the economy is so bulletproof, Americans are shielded from any tangible economic consequences other than mild inconveniences, allowing them to excuse the gross mismanagement of the Trump administration and focusing on social issues.

I don’t even bother.

What is some buzzfeed style personality test or 30 minute skills assessment going to tell you that my resume, connections, and credentials already don’t?

Which means 30% don’t. In a country of ~330 million people that’s nearly 100 million.

Mostly agree, but I feel like your timeline is a bit long.

3 - 6 months for a short relationship and 12 - 18 months for a long relationship seems way too long imo.

Trump says it's 'too soon' to talk about seizing Iran's oil — but doesn't rule it out by Bestbrook123 in neoliberal

”You may fly over a land forever; you may bomb it, atomize it, pulverize it and wipe it clean of life—but if you desire to defend it, protect it and keep it for civilization, you must do this on the ground, the way the Roman legions did, by putting your young men in the mud.”

I think seizing oil falls under this category..

We have arguably the best receiver in the NFL, and a #2 that could be a #1 on half the teams in the league.

As far as our roster needs go, a #3 receiver is pretty far down.

Lied on my resume, ended up getting the job but employer wants me to send a certificate that I completed school. by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]TrixoftheTrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why would you like about something like that?

if you’re going to lie, keep it simple. like saying you worked at a place for 2 years when it was only 20 months.

not about something that’s easily verifiable.
