  • So like how does one get job as fresh graduate?

    Jump

  • Every time I know somebody is in the market, I get them a copy of What Color is Your Parachute. It gets updated every year. It'll help with finding a targeted position that wants your skills.

    I hate working for big corporations. Recruiters will only find you the worst contract jobs. Finding where the small businesses are looking is something that shook out of the book for me. The methods you're using are all the methods that the large companies want you to use and you'll almost always get filtered out. Find places where small companies are looking for your specific skills. They don't want to be awash in dozens of resumes anymore that you want to be blasting your resume out there to dozens of systems that are only there to filter you out. The places might be a niche job posting website, might mean an industry event, etc.

  • Ah, thanks for the correction. It did sound like there was an actual series given the dates and mentions of DC Comics etc. Well, at least there is Marooned and the adaptation.

  • Top 10 countries with the lowest racial diversity

    Jump

  • I'd say not. This number for Japan includes groups that have been forcefully assimilated like the Ainu and Ryukuans. And then you see how more racially diverse places like the US are. So both homogeneous and diverse populations and nations can be pretty racist, both systemically and individually.

  • Bill banning people born after 2008 from buying tobacco clears UK parliament

    Jump

  • Imposing negative externalities while failing to understand and empathize with others is characteristic of the preoperational stage of development, but most children grow out of it by around age 7.

  • Bill banning people born after 2008 from buying tobacco clears UK parliament | Smoking

    Jump

  • It did, actually. It dropped to about 30% of its previous levels and then rose back up to 70% over several years. There were plenty of other reasons prohibition sucked, but your point is not about those.

  • Feelgood friday... what are you looking forward to this weekend?

  • A friend's seasonal one shot RPG! I hope things go better than last time when the group doomed themselves to an icy death for not being good people during their community service. Was still enjoyable.

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

  • black market

    Taxation also causes this.

    Most studies found that raising cigarette prices through increased taxes is a highly effective measure for reducing smoking among youth, young adults, and persons of low socioeconomic status. However, there is a striking lack of evidence about the impact of increasing cigarette prices on smoking behavior in heavy/long-term smokers...

    Ideally multiple methods would be used together, but claiming taxing it more is the only good solution is a stance that lacks nuance.

  • I died

  • A group that stayed together for 8 years is impressive.

    I'm assuming dead dead and not resurrectable dead.

    Did you have a mini for the druid? It's not very druidy, but you could paint it bronze and make it into a statue of a hero for use in tabletop cities. Are you planning any sort of ritual, like burning the character sheet and spreading the ashes?

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

    Jump

  • Taxes tend to only stop new smokers, not current ones. This kinda skips the middleman.

  • UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008

    Jump

  • Are they getting rid of regulations on tobacco products? Article says there will be more oversight. And because there are still legitimate avenues for people who aren't impacted, there won't be much support for black markets to develop.

    Some of the changes will prevent exposure of other people to smoke. That's going to overall reduce danger from tobacco products at the population level. Even if it makes smoking more dangerous for those that defy the law, the number of people overall exposed to both firsthand and secondhand smoke is going to be reduced. I'd take that trade-off, but I don't think the danger to would be smokers is going to increase.

    The amount of people who quit drinking directly because of prohibition was about 70% of the population at first decreasing to about 40% as prohibition continued. That's not negligible. There are plenty of negative consequences that happened because of it, though. I don't, however, think the UK is going to get a vape mafia.
