Legally they cannot. Also, domestic violence happens to men too.

I’d like to know how close I was and in what ways I can become a more interesting candidate, but nobody is going to give me a realistic answer.

I can tell you from the employer side there is nothing to gain by answering this question asked by a candidate, and everything to lose which is why you the candidate almost never hear a response.

There are some legally protected reasons you cannot be turned down for a job. Its all the stuff you’d think of: race, religion, marital status, sex, age, etc. The likelihood you were turned down because of one of these illegal reasons is usually very low in the USA. I’m proud to say for the hiring efforts I’ve been a part of, these have never been considered criteria for disqualifying a candidate. Its always been for things like lack of knowledge/education, criminal history (example multi-DUI for a job that requires driving or conviction of embezzling when put in charge of company finances ), etc.

However, any documented reason a prospective employer gives back to a candidate becomes a liability. Will that candidate sue the company claiming that they weren’t hired because they think the position required some not married, which would be a crime of the employer?

I take it you’ve never seen what kind of damage and desecration a cat can do to a couch?

Don’t ask him about the fate of his first love. Its still a tenders spot. No amount of upholstery will remove that damage.

Our neighbor friend had an Odyssey. Lots of fond memories playing it with them.

Kale has a naturally high pH, so it’s basically just an antacid.

I have mild reflux, but know what triggers it after what time of day and can make easy diet adjustments to avoid those triggers too late before bed. For whatever reason, I never considered looking at the alkaline level of the foods I eat. In just doing so now, I see a whole bunch of my regular diet. Have I been unconscious choosing these to mitigate my reflux? I mean, I seek out these foods (that I now know are alkaline) because I like them, but do I like them more than just for their taste?

No worries!

Only about 300 years, from your own link you kindly provided:

I think you need to read that carefully again. Squirrels have been in North America for millions of years before Europeans arrived. The part you quoted was where Europeans took a specific species of squirrel found in North America, the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), back with them to England.

The rest of that quoted piece talks about that specific species of North American squirrel’s spread around other parts of North American.

@Shadow@lemmy.ca said “they’re not native to North America.” which is incorrect. North America squirrels may be invasive on other continents but certainly not in North America.

Squirrels are an invasive species, they’re not native to North America.

Just how many tens of millions of years do a species need to exist in a place before you consider it native to that land?

“The earliest known North American squirrel fossil dates back to the late Eocene epoch, about 34 million years ago.” source

Somewhere in Tokyo there’s a manga author furiously taking notes on this as the plot line. Three months from now a new manga will hit store shelves:

“I got killed and now I’m the key witness at my own murder trial”

a glitch that excluded my pet rent and water bill. I ended up with over $1,000 in late fees. Despite hours on the phone, it turns out their system doesn’t really do auto-pay and requires a fixed amount instead of covering the full rent

You got over $1000 in late fees from a single month of not having the full amount?

It’s soo ridiculous the hoops a person would go through to avoid a slight bitter taste.

I figured out a fix for the avoidance of horrible tasting medicine:

The simplest and easiest way to use it is with an ice cube or two. Get the pill/liquid medicine you have to get down your throat ready, your ice cubes, a cup of water and stand in front of a sink. Put the ice in your mouth and let it sit on your tongue for 15 to 60 seconds. Yes, its going to be cold and slightly uncomfortable. The longer you can stand it the better your result. After this time has passed with the ice in your mouth your tongue will be numb. Spit out the ice in the sink, you’ll have 5-15 seconds where you can’t taste a goddamn thing which is plenty of time. At this point you could put the most disgusting flavored thing (sour, bitter, etc) and you won’t be able to taste it. Quickly get the medicine in your mouth and chug that full glass of water. Taste will start to return within about 3 or 5 seconds of chugging water, so make sure you drink enough to clear your mouth of whatever bad flavor you’re trying to avoid.

This whole process adds perhaps 2 minutes tops to taking medicine. For those that have difficulty this is a tiny fraction of time usually spent avoiding taking it, or the recovery process for taking it normally.

If you need more incentive (especially for kids) instead of using ice cubes and spitting that out. You can use ice cream or milk shakes and just swallow those. Same rules apply: put the ice cream in your mouth and let it sit on your tongue as long as its frozen. Its a little more involved than ice cubes because you might have to have two or three spoonfuls to get your tongue numb.

I can’t smell myself at all, but then again, people are usually habituated to their own scents.

Olfactory fatigue

So, how do I become a better liar to the tune of: I want to keep working here, I like what I do, I like seeing patients leave healthy and independent to live their lives… until I find a job I like more?

Every job you are employed at should be a place you learn skills or gain knowledge about how to get the next job you want at a future employer. Change your mindset to this: You are now moving on to your new employer. You want to be the best you can be for the new employer. What do you need to learn now to be successful there? Now, put yourself in a position at your current employer that you can learn those things. Is it building better intake or reporting process? Perhaps a certification to handle specific care or dispense specific pharmaceuticals? Compliance is always a big one. Is there an audit of some kind that someone needs to learn the rules for to implement or check in your current workspace? Figure out what that is for your future employer and get excited about that work, the work that enables you to leave where you are today!

A person’s actions to being a good person is much more important that a person’s thoughts. The most well meaning inactive person may be at best a neutral impact on the world, while the most sinister villain of internal thought that acts only altruistically would be considered a hero.

Or perhaps AI wrote the article about AI produced video to complete the meta.

I personally wonder if Jordan wrote himself into a corner with the Tower of Genji. The magic system and tone didn’t really match the rest of the WoT universe. If you look too closely at it, it raises all sorts of nasty continuity questions for the universe as a whole. The Tower of Genji smells like a deus ex machina.

Sanderson did a great job, but my only critique was that the Tower of Genji part seemed rushed. The build up to that was almost as important as the Last Battle.

I don’t think the rushing was Sanderson’s fault, but Jordan’s for leaving so much unfinished. My understanding is that when Jordan died, Sanderson was asked to write the “final book”. When looking at the material that remained to be written Sanderson said it needed way more than one more book. He ended up writing three, but I wonder if the material may have called for five. Sanderson had his own stuff he wanted to write and didn’t want to live for more than three-book-years-worth in Jordan’s universe. I can’t blame Sanderson for that.

Just make sure that Martin takes decent notes so that Sanderson can be tapped to bring the story home. Sanderson did a marvelous job finishing Robert Jordan’s giant story.

and you’re not hurting anyone else in doing so

Evaluating this condition across all levels of your community is almost impossible, from the individual level up to a global level. It can also be evaluated across time. The total sum effects of actions (and inactions) are incalculable.

Of course, even if it was calculable its not objective because “hurting or harm” is are subjective terms. I wasn’t trying to start a treatise on the validity of Kantianism vs Bentham utilitarianism.

The best we can do as adults is adopt a philosophy of “least harm” which is subjective to the actor, and then act in accordance with that philosophy. We alter our philosophies based upon experience and additional information. The additive nature could mean on our deathbed we discover we were the hero, the villain, or a pure non-entitity. Welcome to the ambiguity of adulthood. Do your best, however you define that.
