Sure, but as the article points out, you have a fair chance that you won't end up in your chosen field anyway, and if you do, it will be for lower pay. It may be a blessing to keep what you like as a hobby, so you never get fed up with the attendant bullshit (software is a great example of this).
I guess you're just not as smart as you think. As long as it's not stapled (and why would it be if you're installing it through holes in the studs) and the holes in the studs are large enough, it will most certainly come out when you pull it. No need to fasten it to anything. We're talking about walls, not exposed floor joists in basements or baseboards.
You have it backwards. You already have to be diagnosed as a transsexual before you're entitled to surgery. Which means it's Caitlyn from the moment of diagnosis.
...a political story is posted, exempted from any and all usual Slashdot posting processes.
I've submitted stories and had them posted within the hour. It all depends on the timing.
Also, for all those complaining about posting a political story in politics.slashdot.com, in this case it's because slashdot doesn't have a comedy.slashdot.com. Because this administration is truly a comedy of errors. The difference is that, unlike Shakespeare's play, the main character will not have a happy ending.
Really? Trump failing is going to be HUGE in term of benefits, same as he's already destroyed the Tea Party by accident. He's got both sides of both houses ignoring him and talking about working together. He is demanding they try again to pass a health reform bill, and the senate just said no, they're moving on.
How is saying safe spaces are a way to avoid fixing the underlying problem in any way related to my wanting to ban anonymous speech? Oh, right, they actually go hand in hand. You should have to stand behind what you say. Anonymous speech prevents that. Same way that hiding in safe spaces avoids confronting the problem you're hiding from.
I see logic is still something you're only vaguely familiar with.
And when it comes to different opinions, you've already proven you lie at the drop of a hat, and contradict yourself in the same thread. And you're still just a pitiful fat aging virgin troll, and will be until you die.
Interns have to be paid if the internship is seen as a possible avenue to employment at the company, Dept. of Labor
Job Entitlement
The internship should be of a fixed duration, established prior to the outset of the internship. Further, unpaid
internships generally should not be used by the employer as a trial period for individuals seeking employment at
the conclusion of the internship period. If an intern is placed with the employer for a trial period with the
expectation that he or she will then be hired on a permanent basis, that individual generally would be considered
an employee under the FLSA.
Maybe having to settle for an unpaid internship is a message that either your talents would be better employed elsewhere, or that the field you want to go in sucks?
Why? Because a French Literature grad isn't equipped to discover a cure for cancer. Also, there is not an unlimited demand for people searching for a cure for cancer - simply because there is not an unlimited supply of funds and resources to support an unlimited amount of people doing cancer research.
The problem with that, and it's pointed out in the article, is that people who take unpaid internships end up not just with lower future earnings, but also are more likely to end up in a field other than their chosen one.
A little experience at ANY paid job is probably better than unpaid experience. Unlike the unpaid interns, who aren't allowed to replace regular workers (and as a result don't gain real experience anyway), the person who works at a paid job outside the field has probably had more responsibility on the job, and that, combined with your transcripts, should count for more than a "not-really-relevant-experience" internship.
Employers know the whole unpaid internship thing is a scam. They take them because, what the hell, maybe they'll come across someone halfway-decent, and if they don't it hasn't cost them anything and they have someone to order around doing menial jobs for free. After all, even if it were allowed, just how much responsibility would you hand over to an unpaid intern? They have far less skin in the game compared to someone working for $$$. You don't give them a good recommendation, there's always someone else looking for free labour.
Alternatively.... it could be the ones who couldn't land paying gigs right away suck more than the ones who did go straight to work.
This is definitely something students should consider. If they can't land a paid internship, either there's an over-supply of interns in that field, or they're targeting the wrong field. Either way, time to set themselves a more realistic target/goal.
People are being told that an unpaid internship will improve your chances on the job market, and they obviously believe it or they wouldn't do them. And yet, 3 years later they're still behind in earnings, and they're less likely to be working in their field of choice. Probably would have been better off taking a job in something else just to pay the bills while looking for an opening.
Students are being ripped off twice - once by the university, which charges for the time they're working for free, and the second time by the business they're working for free at. So you're not working for free - you're paying to work. At least slaves got fed on their master's dime.
Employers aren't allowed to use unpaid interns to do the jobs of regular employees, so the internship doesn't even give you experience actually doing the job - and employers know this.
You also don't get the same protections as regular employees. For example, don't get hurt on the job - since your wage is $0.00, workmen's compensation will be a percentage of $0.00, which is $0.00. Your only recourse would be a civil suit, and you can expect both the school and the company to say the other party is responsible for any loss.
The only internships worth anything in the eyes of future employers are paid internships. That's also how you should evaluate them - same as any other job. If you want to work for free, do it for a charity. Better yet, arrange for your internship to be at a charity - at least this way you haven't devalued yourself by working for free at a for-profit business.
Except that kids whose parents have higher incomes get a disproportionate percentage of the paid internships. Has nothing to do with ability, everything to do with connections. It's actually right there in the article.
Safe spaces are total bullshit. They don't solve the problem - making every place more tolerant would, but if everyone is hiding in their safe spaces, how do you connect the silos? And safe spaces are pretty much the definition of echo chambers - no dissent allowed because you might *trigger* someone. If you have a problem that can be triggered, you shouldn't be hiding in safe spaces - you should be seeking professional help. No wonder social media causes depression.
If you go to a store to buy a whatchamacallit, and the clerk says "you don't want one of those, they're trash" without any supporting argument, would your reaction be "oh, he's right! The thing I wanted *is* trash!"?.... I doubt it.
How many anonymous submissions are published? Given a choice between the same story submitted by an anonymous source and a user, they'd probably favour the user's submission - as they did in this case.
Another reason is you might want to run other wiring (or even fiber-optic cable) through the walls at some point. You can just attach it to the coax at one end and pull it through. This way you get rid of the cable and get your fiber installed with the least amount of fuss.
They have a point, as much as it pains me to say so. If you want a safe space echo chamber, go to Facebook. Just remember, usage of social media causes depression.
So you equate the truth with hate? You have a problem. The LGBTQ has for decades tried to confuse the public as to the difference between transvestites and drag queens, and transsexuals, and to a large extent they've succeeded, both in the public's mind and among their own members.
This has led to the public not wanting transsexuals in women's washrooms. Why? Because transvestism is a sexual fetish at its' core. Transsexualism is not. It's a recognized medical condition, with a recognized treatment protocol. Transvestites should not be attempting to ride on the coat-tails of transsexuals' medical legitimacy. Transsexuals had general acceptance until the LGBTQ co-opted transsexuals for their own purposes. Now almost everyone assumes that transsexuals are gay, when only 50% are, 33% are bi, and only 1 out of 6 is gay, same as almost everyone doesn't know the difference between transvestites and transsexuals. They assume that one is just a more extreme case of the other, if they think about it at all.
Transvestites and drag queens should not have the right to use the other sex's washroom, because at their core they are men. You don't change sexual or gender identity just by changing your clothes.
They are free to do what they want; however lumping them in with transsexuals has caused way too many problems over the last 40 years, so screw that. Transsexuals do NOT need the lgbtq to "represent" them. Why the hell would a straight transsexual attend pride parades? Especially when organizers say they represent transsexuals because they have floats with drag queens ???
That's just fucked up. It's also dead wrong.
I've been arguing in favour of same-sex marriage since the '80s, not because it affects me in any shape, matter, or form, but because rights are rights. Back the I was sauying "why should only straight people get to enjoy the fun of divorce? " Though I was also arguing for the alternative - the abolition of marriage. It's an obsolete institution, and it also interferes with the individual's right to freedom of association. And for all those who say "abolish marriage? Think of the children!", I say grow up, judges already award child support to children whose parents aren't married. This is the 21st century AD, not BC.

Watch the movie TransAmerica, and try to guess which actors and actresses are transsexual (hint - quite a few).

From the story's contents, it's obvious these were passed through holes drilled into the studs before the gypsum board was installed.

US Mail 2 the rescue. Or have you forgotten that it exists?
