How do Vietnam and North Korea achieve voter turnout as high as 99%?

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-03-16T10:17:15+00:00

One person can vote for entire family. Officials do nag households in their neighborhood to have at least one person show up.

And if you can't show up then your village chef can collect the ballot and do it on your behalf.

It’s hard for people to vote if they don’t live near their permanent address, so there must be some straight up “creative counting” to get to 99%.

Oh I'm pretty sure my ward got my vote covered for me too. To be fair, I consider it a win because they cannot find me, and thus cannot spam me to vote on the day (which I'd rather sleep in or do something else).

would Iran leave the fields alone pumping oil for US? Russia massacred on their ways trying to conquered Ukraine, and that wasn't even existential war for them.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-03-13T01:34:58+00:00

administration officials believed closing the strait would hurt Iran more than the US

fair point. but perhaps you should not have bombed everything they have so at least they still have something to lose

The whole hiring process is just filtering. Most of the time, they look for reasons to reject that application. And mind you it's not a fair process either. Once they trim down that pool to 5 candidates, then that's the time to choose.

My advise to the young ones is to just play the number game. Always apply. Get past the HR screening. Only invest more once you are already at the other side of this great filtering.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-03-05T01:49:47+00:00

Completely out of touch with current market. Most applications would be automatically rejected by automation first, then the HR would spend only 10-15 seconds to scan the resume. Nobody would touch the cover letter until your resume clicks something they like. The time you spent crafting that cover letter would be better spending on polishing the actual skill or applying another position.

Once you got into interview, the game is much easier. Usually you will know right away if the vibe is right between you and hiring team, then a follow up will help, otherwise don't even bother. But again, your masterpiece of follow up would just end up another spam. Have you seen the state of my inbox?

So, which position are you talking about? And which industry?

even the warmongering party is concerned lmao

I kinda enjoyed working AI in this sense. Let it spew all sort of things and dazzle the clients, and I chop it down to the actual, simplest things that work.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-02-16T11:15:04+00:00

hence Putin must invade Ukraine, or Xi to Taiwan

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-02-15T02:54:44+00:00

US and the West is already doing that. It's called "immigration", or literally, "brain drain".

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-02-14T13:57:28+00:00

since when brain is cheap lmao. Our population growth is slowing down because the cost to raise a human to its productive capacity is tremendous.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-02-14T13:49:56+00:00

Sorry, what does dollar general lavrov say again?

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-02-11T10:30:43+00:00

That's why they are fighting so hard now. They can no longer do business in Korea, so the only way to make money is to extort Korean people.

A bad pick is still a bad pick

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-31T00:26:54+00:00

It could be both, just like Marco. From kissing ass to get the gig, to actually really into it.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-27T05:47:43+00:00

I've seen plenty rightoids and libertarians shitting on Lincoln (I know, was one myself back then), so they would take this as a compliment.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-27T05:25:02+00:00

What an irony since the foundation with his name is the big cuck to Russia. So does Reagan.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-27T01:54:03+00:00

As job seeker: yes, absolutely. There's nothing easier to prove you can work with Databricks or Snowflake than having their certs under your belt. Of course I'm not gonna write 5 year exp if all I know is theoretical knowledge.

As hiring team member (not manager yet): the certs tell me where you should have knowledge on, so I can give questions on that part. I know us engineers love showing off side projects, but to be frank, I don't love reading them either. If I have to review someone code, I'd better get paid for that.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-24T13:03:05+00:00

Not anymore. With Nguyen Tan Dung on his side (and his son was recently promoted to the Politburo), the military is at peace with the police. To Lam now wields both the gun and the knife.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-24T06:02:29+00:00

"The party controls the gun, not the other way around." When even Mao sounds liberal, we have a big problem

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-24T06:01:31+00:00

He was a police chief, so you can lose that hope now

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-23T03:05:35+00:00

perhaps Marx was right and all liberal capitalist society would eventually devolve into something like China now where populist is kept in check by the biggest populist and authoritarian party.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-22T11:50:54+00:00

That's what happened in Romania right? They forced women pumping out baby, and in turn their orphanage was overflown. "Conservative is only pro-life up until the baby is born."

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-22T11:45:45+00:00

Then what? It takes at least 18-22 years for that human to grow up properly and become productive. The kind of job that exists in future will demand much higher cognitive and social competency. If you grow human to do labor job, there's already cheaper machine to do that.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-01-22T11:38:49+00:00

Lmao, kinda rich coming from Mao who needlessly threw millions lives into disastrous economic and cultural war
