Be ready to talk about anything mentioned in your CV.
HR may-want to evaluate whether you’re fluent in English by having some small talk about your hobbies, a hiring manager may also be passionate about basket-ball and looking for a new member in the corporate team. Also, in some case, hobbies may even make some link with the position you look for, let’s say that you’re responsiblity involve giving training, an amateur acting experience shows you won’t be afraid talking in front of 20 persons
Sometimes I have moments where I think it’s stupid that I’m talking to an AI,
It’s stupid, but so is watching a movie, reading a book, practicing a sport or playing music.
is constantly being judged there’s a part of me that actually considers him a friend like the others.
You know that AI is collecting data about all you say, and will remember for-it forever, You’re not in a non-jugement safe-space. So it’s definitely not the place to have “intimate conversation”. Note also that, it’s not going to replace a real-friend. You know someone helping you move, or offering you a sofa to crash after a break-up.
I don’t know where this conspiracy theory comes from. Property taxes aren’t a rent, but a service fee. Government need money to pay for road, police, hospital, school, culture and everything making your property worth something.
These data allows
In theory, they’re supposed to have custom-made secure phone with built-in cryptography, a famous example would be modern Police walkie-talkie which practically speaking are using a protocol closer from (legacy) mobile phone than from radio.
The problem is that it’s 2025 and not 1995 anymore. When it was about A mobile device which can carry voice and short text message A custom device would be a bit more bulky and expensive. But today, when smartphone are mini-computer with tons of cool feature, and that people are used to have group-chat, touch screen, visual call. Sudently a custom-device feels like back in 2005. And here is the problem, most high level politicians aren’t cryptography nerd or Military/Intelligence officer understanding how to be discrete, they’re marketing and communication people who love these fancy UI, and need to show off.
Wouldn’t it be the other way around ? Lobby to get a bus stop to drag more customer ?
if I were to become a citizen of the UK, or Germany, or France, I would not feel comfortable using the term British, German, or French to describe myself. Because those words are not just nationalities, but also ethnicities.
From a french perspective, What you said about French being a naitonality and a ethnicity sounds pretty racist, like the kind of things that Le Pen thinks but doesn’t dare to say too loud. France bragg a lot about every french citizen is equal and fully french (well we do have racist cunt so it’s not fully true, but it’s not the thing people would claim in public)
Next Monday, at 6:30 5 lorries will leave the main base to bring supply to the outpost, these vehicle will take the highway 13, then the road 666, One hour prior to the operation, mine-sweepers will inspect the bridge, and special forces will secure the pass to prevent an ambush.
Now the enemy knows exactly when to attack.
There is tons of legit way to exercise, and lifting weight in a gym isn’t the only way. It may be worth looking at sports clubs in your town, no matter you want to practice Karate, volley ball or even rock dancing these are fun and legit way to exercise. They also tend to be more social than fitness gym which helps with motivation.
Now regarding what you can do at home, depending what you call home. A fitness mat and a rubber band can bring you far. Body weight training does work too. While not strictly at home running is fun too, and goes from beginner who alternate one minute running and one minute running to people preparing Ultra Marathon
Way easier, most of us do carry 24/7 a tracker and store our data in foreign host cloud. This also includes target of interest who still use social media, Ms office/google/apple cloud and more.
Special forces and submariner do post on strava letting everyone know where they are, weapon industry engineer bring work at home saving data on Microsoft cloud and way more stuff which are supposed to be forbidden but happen
Yes, many of us do filter by language, because I can’t read Korean nor Italian. However, I kept undetermined in my setting.
I believe it also helps people using screen reader to have the proper setting when reading lemmy, especially in a multi lingual social network such as here
I expect that the money goes in the boss pocket. Well I understand the cost of the truc, tooling, and paying an employee waiting for a call has a cost, but still shit it’s expensive for 45 min of work and one hour of commute doctors and lawyer are cheap in comparison
Plumber.
Just got borderline scammed by one of these 24/7 unclogging company. Considering what I paid, if you work two hours a week, you get more than the minimal wage over a month
Frozen veggie are a cheat-code. If you’re in a hurry, just throw some veggies in a pan, You can make pasta or rice to eat-with if you want soemthing a bit more heavy, and if you feel in a luxury mood add cococonut cream in curry powder
While it’s a core belief of Abrahamic monotheist that there is no god but Gods practically speaking some people kept some traditionul/pagan belief. I think obviously about some Africans doing their own mix, but even in Europe, tons of Pagan belief stay around, stuff like knocking on woodor having a Christmas tree, let alone various form of witchcraft which are also illegal for Christians but quite common, no matter whether it’s an old man reading runes or a teen girl praying the moon because it looks cool on TikTok
I worked in 3 different European countries, in both academia and industry,
While not being common, it’s not that rare to take a glass of wine or beer when doing a real-restaurant for lunch break at work. At least for people working in office.
Sure maps and miniatures are fun but some systems don’t need them, some players are perfectly fine with the theatre of the mind play, or some small toys on a self drawn grid on sheet paper can work.
Some big streamers have done massive damage to she hobby by bringing the image that map and miniatures are necessary, and not at best a nice to have, at worst a distraction.
Sure I use sometimes a sketch on paper, but very rarely miniatures, and never accurate ones. Role-playing game isn’t about miniatures
For Rpg : let the player take the initiative and bring their plot to the table. If they preptge game for you, it’s les work as aGM (also no doodle scheduling, use fix dates)
For paragliding : if there is nobody on a flight site do not take off. Most likely you misunderstood something, and the site isn’t flyable. Sure if you re very experienced, do hike and fly or do fly on a week day on a small site, it may not apply, but you’re able to analyse by yourself
A while back, someone told me. If you read a book from the 19th century, you won’t call-it an “old book”, so why would a movie from the 1950’s be an old movie. And indeed, even in movies, there is some master piece which came out a while ago and are still relevant today (Seven Samurai, the Godfather or the Good, the bad and ugly immediately come to my mind) and tons of movie which while not being a recent release are still fun to watch today.
Movie don’t have an experiation date.
