or the corrolary Gray's law: Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
unpopular opinion -This is the main problem with those who have socialist tendencies. Since the root desire is to be taken care of, there's often a lack of agency. Yes, unions are great so *someone else* can negotiate for you. I'm not saying that socialism is wrong, but people have to step up to the plate. (you) Begin to organize. (you) Take care of a neighbor. (you) advocate for profit sharing. Something. ANYTHING. other than roll over because someone else won't carry the torch for you.
As much as people like to rag on HOAs, they exist to prevent neighbors like this. It's fun to look at and scroll by, but you've never truly suffered until you get a neighbor like this one. That or the junkyard-style one. And if it's not an HOA, this house probably breaks a half dozen if not more local ordinances.
There's a great video on youtube titled "Why Japan had no chance" on the channel Military History Visualized and it's a time laps of basically day-by-day ship commissioning US vs Japan with a running total of ships built. It's quite eye opening.
No, that was the greatest trick - convincing everyone in the working class that they were middle class.
"state could manage easily" from someone who clearly never worked for a state government.
One thing people don't get is that they are different roles. The F35 is designed as a multi-role plane. F22 was designed as an air supremacy fighter.
Give it a year or so, to get from the current "beta" state to a 1.0 state. Wait for the DLCs to unlock basic functionalities and buy the complete game when it's done.
I'd agree with that. Spent 100 hours only to realize I'd seen pretty much everything the game had to offer in the first 15/20. Looooots of padding and felt much much smaller than fallout or skyrim, ironically. Basic functionality locked behind skills. Overall, it'd kinda "meh." Which in context makes it pretty bad. Actually Vanilla Fallout 4 had way more functionality. It's really depressing to compare the two.
A very simple, if an unpopular opinion.cost = money and some occasional diplomatic issues.Benefit - the US maintains a high profile target that other middle eastern malcontents (including countries) want to kill more than us. In other words, a lightning rod. Value = very difficult to calculate, but billions if not trillions.
Anyone who says something is "part of the plan" sorely overestimates the planning ability of elected officials. Get a job with your local city or state... you'll see.
this is the big one. Not every market is the same. Not every market has the kind of traffic that'll buy your things. Scout out the markets beforehand to see the people that attend and the kinds of things people are selling.
well mid to late 1700s, which is where the tale roughly takes place, a book was going to cost in very rough range between $1000 and $4000 in modern terms (maybe) - up to 1-2 pounds. Her dad was an "inventor" so if we assume he's a skilled engineer and makes say 50 pounds a year (double an average laborer), a book can be around 1/50 of his overall pay. For a personal maid, salary was under 10 pound a year ish (yes these are brit, but I recall them being roughly similar in france too)
A good DM's reaction since you can get a ton of play out of it
Disney and Amazon and... the list goes on.
In addition to lore-jacking, the constant fan-baiting. It's like they fundamentally misunderstand what a fan is. They think a fan is like a super-consumer who will buy far more than the average just because it's got the IP shoddily slapped on it. And are appalled when fans don't immediately comply. At the same time, they hate fans and they go out of their way to provoke them to distract from bad writing/storytelling, especially where they lore-jack.
You do know CVs are in the US too? It stands for Curriculum Vitae and is a fancy word for... you guessed it "Resume." Technically CV is used more in the academic setting and in the UK, but it is sort of interchangeable with resume. There are a few differences, but a Resume is often a snapshot/tailored version of your CV. The CV is extensive and is a more comprehensive overview. The beauty of our system in the US is you can leave whenever you feel like it. That's the point of "at will"
if it's any comfort, they likely died very quickly due to implosive decompression.
nah, looking at the lawsuit in 2018 related to the safety problems, they're probably dead. Implosive decompression at ~2800m meant there would be very little time to suffer. Very probably the window failed https://apnews.com/article/titanic-missing-submersible-lawsuit-oceangate-0e5fc9a0313938fdf408b1459538d9ef
Absolutely. I will say in a macabre kind of way - props on the manufacturer. Some napkin math estimates they were at ~2800m before they "lost contact", which is double the manufacturer would guarantee. Sad to say, they're almost certainly dead. At least it was quick.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion- I'm going to guess OP is like a friend of mine where "friendly/bubbly" in OP's eyes reads as "flirting" to everyone else. As a lawyer myself I can anecdotally say Ive seen more of a need to have young professionals in our environment undergo professionalism training and instruction. Impossible to tell without seeing OP in context, but there's a certain bearing and demeanor required for law practice among reception staff. Bubbly/friendly may be too much

As a lawyer myself, I can anecdotally say I have seen more of a need to have young professionals in our environment undergo professionalism training and instruction, so who's to say?
Not really. Some did, but more did not. Read pages 4-6 (pg 7-9 of the pdf) of the opinion for how this happened. It's a pretty simple fact pattern. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-1449_d9eh.pdf 1
As a tax attorney, yes I see CPAs being this careless all the time. Federal disclosures are very very important for us peons that have to follow the law and more nuanced than just "the numbers match up." Source is vitally important, often and especially in tax law. He's doubly careless if someone of his stature hadn't hired a lawyer to guide his compliance and filings. But then again, clients love ignoring legal advice because they "know better." Lawyers make terrible legal clients.
