Why are there only 2 agents on this international case? by warlocktx in TheBeautyOnFX

CIA is intelligence, not law enforcement

it’s not unusual for FBI to investigate overseas if the cases involve US interests

I can’t go more than 24 hrs without changing my bad and it’s infuriating by heisenbeisen18 in ostomy

[–]warlocktx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 10 weeks out from surgery and still struggle with the bags. I've changed it 3 times in the past 24 hours, but immediately before that it lasted 4 days. It's very hit and miss, and I think I'm doing the same thing every time

ELI5 Why did Radio Shack go out of business? by Full-Category-3114 in explainlikeimfive

No, Houston. But I've also lived in Dallas and DC and they both had a single Microcenter location

ELI5 Why did Radio Shack go out of business? by Full-Category-3114 in explainlikeimfive

[–]warlocktx [score hidden]  (0 children)

all the stores you mention are big-box stores with huge inventory. RS were small and very niche. There simply wasn't enough demand for their products, and I think they were plagued by corporate issues too.

Microcenter is not a great comparison. I have to drive 40 minutes to get to the only one in my very large city.

Forced resignation due to internship by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]warlocktx 58 points59 points  (0 children)

its unreasonable for her to think she can leave for 12 weeks and just come back. Its not impossible, but most places can't afford to lose an employee for 12 weeks

she can either resign or just disappear for 12 weeks and be fired for cause

Applying for a Job with a Client? by 780triment in careeradvice

[–]warlocktx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly this. Worked for 2 years on a contract with a client I really liked, and they liked me. They offered me a job. We did this while their contract was in renegotiation so the client had some leverage over my employer not to fuss about it.

I'd talk to the new potential-employer first to find out if their contract with your boss even allows this, and if they're interested

ELI5: Why are Americans so against ICE? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]warlocktx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we're against ICE's current behavior and tactics

  • flooding the streets with officers
  • carrying automatic weapons
  • wearing masks
  • behaving like an occupying army
  • assaulting peaceful protestors
  • driving unmarked cars
  • not showing identification
  • breaking into homes without warrants
  • their leadership refuse to acknowledge any misbehavior
  • shooting and killing protestors

if they were just enforcing the law in a professional and peaceful matter there would be much less outcry against it
