Works every time and after playing just about all of the modern paradox games, you really don't need the dlcs unless you're really into the base game and even then the time to learn means most of it won't even be within your grasp until you're like 50 to 100 hours in.

Why is that worse?

I think they knew and it didn't matter to them which is oddly prophetic when I look at the state of the world today lol

People panned the game but this was the whole point of the NG Resonance character in Deus Ex Invisible War. People would basically tell this AI pop star intimate details about their lives and then the data was used against them and their local communities.

Help desk is the answer. The key is to work towards understanding the industry you're doing support in. A ton of companies love support members because they end up knowing the product, the use cases, and the clients better than most other folks in the company.

It's because degrees aren't unfortunately full proof certifications of your skill set. They should be, and they should require recertification to prove your skill set. This is handled differently in different countries and with different industries but requiring more deep and trusted educational programs would resolve the problem. It makes sense that a company wants to ensure they're getting what the candidate says they are.

Hiring processes are a joke currently and involve a clearly bullshit song and dance that everyone knows is a lie. I ver much don't like tests in this capacity but it's clear it's a symptom of issues in higher academia.

Many groups have wanted an "online passport" for a long time now and it's hard for me to not see this as another attempt veiled by "won't someone think of the children".

Once this starts it'll be required for everything.

As a native English speaker I fully agree that your intuition makes sense and I've also always hated this phrase because it does sound backwards.

Haven't heard this take yet. Any sources I could take a look at?

This is a good take but it disregards the realities of the financial recipients being unable to account for funds spent. I agree there are special circumstances but we need to have visibility to those realities as benefactors. Otherwise how can we allocate funds democratically.

Lol literally no way to find out because they don't track it and have no reason to do it.

Or - and this is heavily documented - the US Military has never passed any audit since they began being audited. This is just part of that.

Doesn't mean we don't support Ukraine. Just means we need to hold the military accountable for the funds provided.
