Nibbles! posted:Isn't it the case that you can't OD on MDMA anyway? It's heat or dehydration that gets you? Do they still stop you taking your own water into festivals? MDMA is similar to illegal opiates in that almost all the fatalities are caused by contamination, unknown ingredients or unknown dosage. The fact is that the majority of the health problems are caused by prohibition and this is why many countries actually provide opiate addicts with pharmaceutical heroin, methadone, buprenorphine, etc. It's hard to think of much justification for the banning of MDMA or opiates. I don't know what approach to use with things that are very measurably neurotoxic like meth though.

Patriots, do you here the call? The spirit of our forefathers which made our great southern land the nation we revere, do you sense the danger we are under from the cultural Marxists and the threat of Islam? Strength, courage, honour, discipline, desire and determination are the seeds of victory! We the people must wrestle control from the labor/liberal paradigm to save our nation!!!. We at UPF/Fortitude seek your membership! No matter how long, or whatever it takes, will you stand united with us? Be part of History and see you soon patriots. Payback is a bitch....these scum keep their women at home locked up...get pissed (so Islamic) and molest women whenever they can and they roam in numbers (cowards will never try that alone)...I would love to take 4-5 of these scum on me own if and when opportunity arises...

I don't want to suggest that those 9 people who started legal proceedings against Bolt were wrong to do so, but an unfortunate side effect of the 18C thing is that he got a lot of media attention for a brief period (the kind of attention that professional trolls like him rely on) and now he's well enough known that he could always get some kind of media gig. He played the martyr card and now it's really easy for him to exploit the emotions of the uneducated and the far right. Also, I have literally never seen a Masters IRL.

TheHeadSage posted:Mitre 10 has quality wood and stuff, as well as helpful people, where the Bunnings staff just grunt and hope you go away. I'm 90% sure that Bunnings only pay junior wages, and that their recruitment/hiring process is largely based around making sure that they can do this as much as possible, so even if they are just grunting they are probably working harder than they should for their pay.

Zenithe posted:Has applying for jobs always been complete bullshit or has anything changed in the past 7 years? I'm guessing I just got lucky in the past and forgot about it. Last 5 jobs I've applied for ask for a resume and force you to fill out what is basically your resume in boxes as part of the application process. Seems terribly inefficient. Yeah, they'll do that. Also, you pretty much need to apply for 20 jobs a day to get anywhere. I was looking for work a few months back after a contract ended and got a fair bit of radio silence whenever I applied for jobs where the application process used one of those time-wasting online forms run by Talent2, Taleo, Revelian, Brassring etc. Then I tried putting job ads through a wordcloud generator and shoehorned the biggest words from the wordcloud into my resume and the online forms and suddenly most places called me back and I got offered 3 jobs in one week. If you can get past the automated filter that prevents 90% of resumes from ever being seen by human eyes, then you're suddenly only competing against 15-20 people instead of probably hundreds.

Frogmanv2 posted:Having issues with this, can you walk me through what you did, maybe in a PM or something please. All I did was look for keywords or re-occurring words in the job ad an put them in my resume (which was slightly different for every job I applied for). You don't really need to make a word cloud, just note their frequency and placement. To be honest, I think the best way of getting around the online application blackhole is to contact the hiring manager directly somehow. Often the job ad will say something like "for any inquiries regarding the position contact [x]" and it's usually a good idea to talk to this person to get noticed. That said, directly sending your application to them will yield results that vary from an interview to instant rejection for not doing things the proper way. Another thing, jobs that appear on industry specific job boards or on small relatively obscure websites are much easier to get because you're not competing against hundreds of people. Sometimes you can find some of these ads by typing the domain name (eg: taleo.net) of some of the more frequently encountered recruitment software in an advanced search on Google with "[x] jobs in [y city]. Often the search results will be job ads that haven't appeared on places like Indeed or Seek so you have less competition. Zenithe posted:So they resumes and cover letters are scanned electronically for certain phrases and denied if they don't have matches? It's definitely been a factor in my experience. Mr Chips posted:Does putting all the keywords in as invisible text help with this? That way you can still have something human friendly, while passing the automated filters. If you pass through the filter your resume gets converted into plain text and someone reads it, so doing this would gently caress you up at this stage. Laserface posted:Dont forget the job listings posted by recruiters that either A) capture data of people looking for work or B) positions that dont actually exist to harvest references and/or offer you less good, shittier positions. This is an important point too I think. Though sometimes the site hosting the ad will say something obviously scammy like "we may contact you about educational opportunities". Also, never apply for anything on Oneshift ever. Anidav posted:Can you share the wordcloud? It was different for every ad I applied for

Tanya Plibersek has been the most preferred Labor leader basically the whole time Shorten has been leader. I don't know why people constantly talk about Albo instead. Is it because they don't think the Australian public would vote for a woman?Amethyst posted:Anyway why's everyone talking about Bowen being leader? That seems like the only choice worse than ol' Bill. I don't know if they're basing this on anything or not, but replacing Shorten with some incredibly bland but factionally powerful vacuous windsock is exactly something that Labor Right/NSW Labor would do.

It's funny because replacing opposition leaders was completely routine until recently but now looks bad in the context of the past 6 years
