It's pulling the 'model minority' poo poo which is not exactly progressive, and in a paper that loves fascists.

However if any other group than white boys was performing like this

then the usual lot would be pretending to sip whiskey and polish their skulls talking about genetic inferiority, so it's very strange that in this instance they all came out with "white males, the true persecuted minority" with no further analysis :iiam: so I can see why it might be fun to poke that nest.

e: ^^^ it's actually the narrow skull of the masculinized caucasoid that limits learning *sips apple harvest*

When i went for the interview for my current place, they asked if i had done MacOS administration before and i said "Nope, but i can google stuff". Ended up getting the job and on the first day my boss asked me to do something and i said "I dont know how to do that on a mac" His response was "Oh, so you werent lying in the interview about never using macs before?" Motherfucker why would i lie about that?

this is a marketing intelligence role primarily and thats something i've never done. it also wants project management experience which I also haven't done. why the gently caress they want me for an interview i don't know but i reckon its because i'd be cheaper than the other candidates

Its been 22 years since that game was released and in that time at no point has any developer embraced the joy of loving up your opponent by creating a massive volcano right in the middle of their base.

As a rule, if you can do half the poo poo they specify in the job description, you're a potential. Unless it's for, like, a lifeguard job and you do have your own swimming kit but can't actually swim or something.

As long as they're willing to give you money to gently caress up their company that's their problem not yours :v:

Dizzy is the bastard child of that selection. Seriously, loving Dizzy? I guess it was felt that it wouldn’t be appropriate, but it’s pretty weird that GTA wouldn’t be on there, considering that it’s British and one of the biggest game franchises of all time.

It's from the unjustly maligned Tomb Raider Chronicles. I played through the whole 90s PSOne series last year and that one is the shortest and most straightforward (and therefore most enjoyable). They're good games once you get to grips with the control system!

A few years ago when I was a freelance (i.e. unemployed) online copywriter, I got a call from a recruitment agency - I didn’t apply for the job, they got my CV from LinkedIn or something - about a job as an SEO manager. I tell the woman that of course I know all about SEO, but just to be clear, I’ve never worked in a specifically SEO-focused role. She says that’s totally fine, they have a new, broader idea of what an SEO manager can be, that I would be perfect for the position, and books me an interview.

I drag myself into central London to the office of this company. The interview goes well, but I again make it clear to the guy that I’ve never worked directly on SEO. It’s no problem, he says, they envision the role as a wider editorial position, with just an eye on SEO from a content marketing viewpoint. I say great.

A few days later I get a call from the recruitment agency telling me that I didn’t get the job because I didn’t have enough SEO experience.
