I've managed to get two first round interviews, and I'm a "perfect candidate" for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn't mentioned at any point before, and while they won't find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don't care about thc.
At least if they do, I'll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.
I live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.
I'm still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.
As far as I'm concerned, it's a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn't be able to since it doesn't show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.
If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it's legal in this state and they're only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.
It's probably just wasting my own time, but hey I've got time to waste.
Also sometimes I use a photo editor on my phone.
The crayon scribbles of my 3 year old nephew on the back of a soggy napkin holds more value than a mountain of AI slop.
They get to send strongly worded letters to formally request that other nations possibly consider the contents of.
Or possibly maybe at some point in the future face slight financial consequences.
They're protesters with guns that refuse to use the guns to actually help people unless it's inside the extremely narrow scope of their rules.
When you're dealing with a person that refuses to listen to anyone around them, holding an intervention is useless. Discussing the problems don't help unless the person doing something wrong is willing to listen to the people they hate.
No, surely they must mean set on fire.
I would still say I don't understand written German, and I certainly couldn't understand SPOKEN German, but I understand enough to understand the memes.
So thanks for that, ich_iel!
"FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don't have to do anything difficult right now"
New headline.
Honestly there's no legitimate reason to delay this unless you're stalling for something.
At least some nutters have the decency to say that it's mind controlling chemicals, not the "you'll be dead soon" kind.
Kind of like the covid vaccine. I should have been dead in ~~3~~ ~~6~~ ~~8 months~~ ~~a year~~ ~~2 years~~ ~~3 years~~ ~~4 years~~ I'll be dead in 5 years!
That one I think is more "the people in charge figured they would all be dead before it became a problem"
I fully expect that if the cure for aging was discovered, billionaires would suddenly care a LOT more about climate change.
It's become very clear over the last 20 years that most people in charge all just assumed everything would continue to coast, the status quo would never change, and have absolutely no idea what to do when someone grabs the steering wheel and jerks it into the oncoming lanes.
Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.
Like how Tony didn't figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.
And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don't take issue with that.
If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I'd say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it's a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.
