how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me?
  • Shiit so many comments here.

    If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment

    Unity is ditching their much-hated runtime fees effective immediately, a year after they infuriated basically every game developer
  • I was an engineer employed at Unity when they announced this, and it was just an unvetted move from tone deaf executives who all ran away with incredible payouts before it all went crashing.

    These people should be in jail..

    Ukrainian drones now spray 4,000° F thermite streams right into Russian trenches
  • I was thinking that too. We already have other weapons that are this effective, and we've banned them.

    In most cases for the banned weapons, the US got to use them for a while first, which is what's happening here.

    Even desert plants known for their resilience are burning and dying in the heat
  • The water takes more energy to heat up and cool. That's why it's often cooler near bodies of water, especially large ones, as they take more time to change temperature.

    Normal "land" take a lot less energy, but there is still some heat and cold being kept that takes more time to change.

    Deserts have nothing to keep the cold or the heat, so as soon as the sun is gone it's far below zero, and as soon as the sun shows up it fires back up to very warm temps. Desert plants mostly survive by barely needing water.

    Harris faced criticism for inflating her prosecutorial record in 2003 district attorney campaign
  • 2003, old news but okay.

    While some of Harris' 2003 literature said that Harris had "tried" hundreds of cases, other campaign literature at the time said she had "prosecuted" hundreds of cases -- including her campaign website, which used the word "prosecuted" instead of "tried," according to a version of the web page viewed by ABC News via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

    Experts told ABC News that's an important distinction.

    "A prosecutor prosecuting the case means that they were the attorney on the case where someone were facing charges. When you have tried a case, that means that case is going to trial," said ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmire. "So the number of prosecuting cases should be a higher number than trying a case, because you may have a case that doesn't go to trial because the person takes a plea, the case get dismissed, whatever may be, you still prosecute that case. But you only tried a case that has gone to trial."

    It seems there were no "experts". There was one person and he worked for ABC news as a "legal contributor". They don't even call him an expert.

    Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement.
  • I don't think so, it takes some amount of strength no matter the circumstances. Maybe to them this is "less of a suffering" compared to whatever options they have but it's the same toll nonetheless. People in those situations simply have more resolve because of their circumstances off the bat.

    Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace
  • I'm a millennial and can't remember the last time I was too sick to work from home. Sick means I'm somehow contagious and shouldn't be in office, but I can still get some work done. I haven't taken a sick day in over a decade, just a work from home day. I work in software so I guess that makes it easy compared to other professions.

  • Maybe unpopular but I feel that it's encompassed in "resolve". It doesn't get easier because you have no choice. Personally I didn't see any judgement but maybe that's just me.

    Boy accidentally smashes 3,500-year-old jar on museum visit
  • If that jar was so important, it should be behind bullet proof glass. It probably had a postit nearby that said "do not touch". I blame whoever had that jar in their care.
