to my knowledge it's all economy, brewing and making supplies for magicians. Not exactly a robust economy to enter into.

only if you want one of the brave or miscellaneous jobs. if you major in evildoing with no intent of going into that field professionally, it’s kind of on you

They really tried to repent for their ferenghi sins in DS9, but there's only so much backpedaling allowed for a culture where women aren't allowed to wear clothes.

the ferenghi weren't jews. they literally compare them to Yankee traders in their debut episode in tng. They're a caricature of capitalist pigs

I mean, eventually. TNG really tried to make them into major villains and serious threats, since there was no real big “enemy” for TNG like the Klingons were for TOS. Once TNG introduced the Borg, though, Ferengis went down the road to goofy-town.

this is as close as there is to a Linkedin thread

quote:

This week saw some inspirational leadership, a senior partner in BigCorp’s leadership team will switch his work phone off during his 2 week holiday this summer. This will allow him to enjoy quality time with his family and return to work refreshed and energized. It shows he trusts his colleagues and has the self-regard to know he needs a proper break.

i have my first on-call shift this week and my coworker who’s going on vacation said to just text him if i have any trouble

this is his first job, and hopefully my incredulous stare and “i am absolutely not texting you work poo poo while you’re on vacation” had the correct effect

Start ups are a heck of a thing. A new round of phone interviews has been added because the CEO has felt out of the loop on the process. I'm 90% sure I'm their only candidate.

this is literally what college is for--trust me, i made the mistake of thinking it was about the education and probably set my career back almost a decade as a result

A company got in touch with me yesterday and I saw that it was contract, but I let them call me anyway and after their spiel I got to pull a "Oh this is contract? Oh I'm sorry, I don't do contract work." on em. There's no insurance, 900 miles away with no relocation cost, the contract is 2(!) months and 32/hr for full stack? Hell loving no what is wrong with you. This was for a senior developer. I was flabbergasted.

I think that might be it because I got an email at 10:30, I replied at 11 "hey yeah that's a nice area and I have family there so I'll hear you out" and they replied back 5 minutes later with "Is 12 okay?"
