I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Isn’t the parent company of Porn Hub in Montreal?

I wonder how involved CSIS, CSEC and the RCMP are. They worked very closely with Research In Motion and iirc made sure there were backdoors in Blackberries.

RCMP is just hoovering up everyone's social media data.

Too bad their "success" story includes finding data a year after the Quebec City mosque shooting

Wonder why they didn't find any info on the Nova Scotia murderer when he was clearly posting / messaging harmful intent, buying surplus police gear online, purchasing weapons in the states and bringing them back to Canada over several years, etc.

because he was working for the RCMP. just like the RCMP can't find anyone to arrest when a racist mob burned down a native lobster storage facility, because their lovely officers were helping the mob

Just had to take a "Caliper Test" for a job (https://calipercorp.com/caliper-profile/)

It's mostly IQ test sort of questions, find the missing tile, if these cards are in play, what are the odds this hidden hand has these cards, etc.

Is this kind of thing normal for jobs now?

depends on the job but some sort of testing is

It's usually more psych testing and its really more about your judgement than anything. Of course a lot of it is also 100% bogus

lol at this one but most jobs will make you take a test that's like "if a customer yelled at you, would you punch them?" which sounds like a 'you can just lie' and while you can many people don't!

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

It's even worse, most hiring managers actually believe this poo poo has value.

Windows 8 was garbage directly from Satan's rear end in a top hat but the interface on 10 really isn't like that and the squares are optional and non intrusive

Windows still sucks for other reasons obviously

up until windows 10, Microsoft made sure that by the time all your luddite co-workers who can barely turn on a computer got used to the current flavor of windows, they'd release a new one.

the jump from windows xp to 7 just broke a bunch of boomer's brains.

now with windows 10 they seem more focused on rolling out regular updates instead of just pissing off random boomer lady in accounting
