I think it was because GIP ran him out of town because he was a civilian IT contractor who felt he ranked the same as a lieutenant colonel in the marine corp

Lying on applications is how I broke into finance. I had been unemployed for 6 months and just started applying to every single job hoping I could impress them and get hired before a background check was needed/completed and my first firm hired me with out doing a super deep one. By the time they figured out I never went to college I had already been there 9 months and been promoted so they decided to keep me.

Solzhenitsyn was put in a sharashka because he jokingly put down his occupation as, "theoretical physicist", during a "re-evaluation" of his sentence.

On the other end, my father was hired by the company that got him into the business he's in out of a temp service. After doing graphical design for six months, his boss looked at his CV and offered a position writing the manuals. "Why didn't you tell me that you are fluent in three languages?" Dad told him it was on his application. Whoop.

I'd take it over applying and hearing nothing so months later you just have to assume they wanted someone else.

As dumb as it sounds, Fantastic is a good, small example of what sets NV apart from FO3 and FO4. He's a comic relief character that you can call a dumbass and have a good laugh, but he's also indicative of a systemic problem with the NCR that is important to the plot in broad strokes. Then after you call him a dumbass, you can go into the very next room and have a nuanced discussion with the real scientist about the ethics of weapon development and resource management in a post-apocalyptic civilization. All of that, in the span of a minute of gameplay, is FO at its best.

In other words, New Vegas is fantastic. :c00l:

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

My daughter, when she was single digits, saw a few episodes of Danger 5 on Netflix. She thought Hitler was funny, so she drew a bunch of swastikas and put them in our windows facing the street. We live in a predominately black and Hispanic neighborhood, so I was mortified and we had to figure out how to explain to a six year old autistic kid what parody means and why Hitler was actually not funny but in fact bad. Well, that is my Danger 5 story!
