Some require a drug test, others don't. It's silly, I am not going to be operating a bus, I'm going to be driving a keyboard and mouse, maybe an oscilloscope if I get suckered into lab work. All ask for your previous salary on the job application.
I would suspect that it's more about you being a soft target for extortion. Drug addicts can get themselves into precarious positions of having to find a way to repay large sums of money.
The thing about the Hellmouth discussion that drew me into it was the backlash against non-popular kids.
All of a sudden, if they wore all black or a trench coat, schools were treating them like the next mass shooter. Kids were being forced into counseling because of their fashion sense or choice in music.
School authorities had ignored the problem of bullying for decades and when the dam broke, the scrutiny was primarily on the victims and not the perpetrators.
I'm not sure why anyone concludes in general that more government rules would be an effective answer.
I am entirely unclear on your position. If someone abuses a set of rules, what is the problem with making a new rule or issuing a clarification to end the abuse?
If a new rule is to be made, more thought should be put into it than the original rule that was evaded.
The tax laws are why so many corporations have billions of dollars in overseas tax haven. FOPA (1986) is why we are now talking about Bump Fire Stocks.
A rash decision could very well lead a situation that's worse than the one we're trying to correct.
I have a friend who is a dead ringer for an adult film actress.
She doesn't think the resemblance is quite so strong but one day, I showed her husband a picture of the actress in question and he started laughing. He agreed that they looked nearly identical.
Anyway - in this particular case, Russia's proxies purchased ads during the compaign season
This may well be true but I have yet to hear anyone make the case that the ads were lies. I am hearing the complaint that Russian proxies influenced the election with the silent concession that the manipulation consisted of telling the truth about Hillary.
The right gets us into wars? Do you mean like the wars that Hillary Clinton and John Kerry voted for in 2003? Do you mean like the one that Barack Obama escalated in 2009?
I'm not blaming the left for these, the right is just as guilty. My point is that both wings are involved in waging unnecessary wars.
There are PLENTY of far right wingers in CA that continue to cause major harm.
California hasn't had a majority of right-wing voters since 1988. The disaster the state has become is not on us.
But the real issue is that your party has been cheating at so much and does not care 1 whit about our nation.
If that was the case, they would have cheated to beat Obama.
We DESPERATELY need a NEW 3rd party that consist of moderates, with a strong fiscal conservative attitude.
I would settle for an incoming class of elected officials who are not for sale. For example, I'm not a Bernie Bro but I do respect Bernie because he doesn't appear to be for sale, like most others.
Why not sell the technology in bulk to municipal water treatment facilities and let them remove the plastic microfibers before the water is discharged? They already have to deal with the issue of biosolids from wastewater. They would be more apt to recycle the end product as opposed to home users who would be more likely to throw them away than to recycle them.
u obviously do not have a grasp of what the LP stands for.
Let's just ignore, for a now, the difference between libertarians (small "L") and the Libertarian Party ("big "L") and say that you're supposed to stand for freedom. In the place where tech is centered (California, currently), the largest threat to freedom is the political left. If tech was centered in Texas or Alabama, the threat to freedom would be the political right.
We oppose not only the far left, but also, ppl like you on the far right who love your fascists approaches to America.
You know nothing about me or what I advocate. Like far too many big "L" Libertarians, you just enjoy being contrarian.
Sounds more like yet another slashdot poster with a silly agenda to smear libertarianism.
Not at all. I have a great affinity for libertarians (small "L"). I referred to California leftists because California is where tech is centered. Perhaps in 20 years, the more appropriate description would be the grip that the political right has on Texas but that isn't the current situation.
I say "silly" because libertarianism is so far removed from mainstream politics that attacking them is like stomping on ants when the elephants are stampeding.
I'm still uncertain as to why you interpreted my statement as an attack. It was not.

Two out of millions committed murder. Thousands who had done nothing other than be victims were targeted.
It might have been possible to prevent it if schools had taken bullying as seriously then as they do now.

Stick with me old fella, I'll get you home.

Now that you mention it, I was a Mac guy back then. My primary computer was a Performa 6400/200 and my secondary was a Pentium 200/MMX for gaming.
My exodus came shortly thereafter.
Ahh... memories.

I've been here at least 18 years.
I have changed so much over that period of time that I feel nostalgic when I look back at some those old discussions.
I remember non-ironic mentions of Beowulf clusters.
I remember the kinship I felt during the Hellmouth discussions.
I remember being thrilled when I learned that I could filter out Katz's posts.
I've been here for a long time and I plan to be here for a long time to come.

Perhaps, to differentiate from the Thai ladyboys...
Online movie reviews have saved many people from the awful disappointment of a bad movie.
There are some movies that are only worth seeing on DVD or cable/streaming, if at all.
They're friends of mine and more than that, he's not insecure.

According to the summary(That you obviously didn't read), she only has a FB account that's linked to her real life identity.
Her sex-work identity is not on the social network at all
There is no other account for FB to conclude is owned by the same person.
Whatever is happening isn't what you think is.
