    That works for those trades because they are highly regulated fields (ie, if I screw up your electrical wiring and burn your house down, im going to jail. If I screw up your application, I get fired...).

    This. As a job seeker, I hate recruiters with a passion, I will not answer any of their uniformed cold calls. Hi i'm with randstad, Hi im with cybercoders, hi i'm with manpower...FUCK OFF.

    I never submitted my resume to you, and I've been blunt about it too: how did you get my number in your system? their answer: "well, uhh, it was in the system". Bullshit, you data-mined it from linkedin or indeed, my resume clearly says "NO THIRD PARTIES OR OUTSIDE RECRUITERS" in bold, how can you not see that?...oh that's right because you're full of shit and have no clue and are just making a cold call.

    And that's the problem, most of these morons are sales people with little to no understanding of the work they are trying to hire for. They could have been selling fucking mary kay the week before.

    TO ALL RECRUITERS: Your days are numbered, If ever there was an industry that needed to be destroyed by automation and deep learning AI, its recruiters. I will rejoice on that day...

    I know, right? Looking at our teeth alone proves that.

    Just forgo the armchair, hippy, homeopathic schlock and just say you're vegan because you do not wish to support killing other animals (or you simply hate the texture or it gives you gas, or whatever personal reasons are). Case closed.

    Not sure how it looks inflated but it certainly looks like a motorcycle outfit.

    I do like the fact it has an actual helmet, unlike the blue suit which looks like a completely "rollupable" uprated biohazard suit. Keep in mind these are just "pressure suits", not "space suits"

    I'm not against making revenge porn illegal, but barring investigating and shutting down websites with enough accusations and proof you're still not going to shut them all down, and you're still not going to stop someone from sharing it with friends and them sharing it with others...not to mention getting hacked, stolen, or another person with access from stealing them.

    I mean what you're really talking about is enforcing distribution laws similar to software products (remember, this isn't an image of an illegal act). In order to to do that with images would be immensely difficult. You would need to get every digital camera to issue a digital key for every person in an image, then you would need protect that image in some form of encryption and only all signers present to allow the image to be access...and were not even talking about time periods (did the person change heart? got married and care now, how do they revoke the key after the image is approved?)....and i'm just pulling this out of the air.... ....it costs people in the software industry billions to enforce anti-piracy...

    So I guess the real question is how good is good enough? Which circles back to what I was saying, regardless of how the laws and services you use handle such cases, you could just be pro-active and not send nudz...

    That's exactly the true argument people are having, they just don't realize it.

    Advocates that believe your "rights" == 100% iron clad safety and protection despite your own mistakes.

  11. I have been on a few interviews in EA land and Bay area, and companies like to pose like cool frat boy college campuses...except they are more like a meat grinders, rather than an actual company that fosters dedicated long lasting employment.

    Its a poison, they way lots of US companies treat people today, from the H1b to the native people. Its not right and I think a lot of people are starting to get tired of it...I think that partially explains trump. People are sick of being treated like disposable employees.

    yea, I'm keeping an open mind. I think the whole ancient klingon stuff is great. Just 2 issues for me from what I can tell.

    One is strictly from a look standpoint (at least with the uniforms, ships and tech in the background of some production stuff, I actually like the alien designs including the ancient klingons...if that's what they are). One reason some stuff can't look like exactly like the predecessors is because the star trek license is split between two corporations.

    The second issue is they were wanting to add much more internal soap drama and internal strife aboard the ship (ala destiny) which was something that roddenberry was totally against. I think his thought was to display a future to aspire too as a species.

    The problem with this series might be to much changes make it seem like it could be any other sci-fi show without the trek branding....but keeping an open mind.

    Kind of started as a joke, but I started saying to my dog: "you got a poopy?" as a joke before going out in the evenings for his poop when I got home...and now that's all he acknowledges as a poop command.

    Its cool because "go bathroom" means take a piss, and "you got a poopy" almost guarantees a poop. He always lets me know by spinning in a circle on the correct response or looking around like a dumb shit if it's neither....

    Its really depends on your lifestyle and how good you are with your money. Factors, like kids, marriages, do you need new shit all the time, are you a compulsive buyer or are you complete coal smuggler.

    One of the things I love about that movie is it relentlessly trolls fascism, by the end all the "good" or "moral" people die or fail to make the cut in service to the meatgrinder society they live in, the "naturally selected" citizens are vapid, good looking shells of people.
