Lopaw Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Everyone in my class got ordered to "explore" apprenticeships today. However most of the place is flooded with offers from companies miles away. IBM, Mercedes, some people saying they will teach you JavaScript, Babcock's more dull sectors, tons of catering firms and the AWE come up a lot as wanting apprentices. All places that are very hard to get into, esp. the last one for obvious reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 On 29/01/2017 at 2:16 AM, Saxon said: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-38786119 An Iranian vet had to spend £2,600 to change her flight path, because of Donald's presidential decree forbidding all Iranians passage to the USA. To return to this story, a women's group paid for her and her boyfriend's flights to get them back to the UK. The Trump administration has since announced that people with dual British nationality, even if they have a prohibited nationality like Iraqi or Somali, are exempt from the new travel and visa rules. A lot of disorder and confusion could have been avoided if the Trump administration had announced and clarified what the changes were going to be in advance of implementing them.

DrGravitas Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 There's been talk of moving myself and two of the other senior resources on the team into formal managerial roles! I don't know how much it'll change things, aside from more meetings and planning tasks, as I already fill some leadership and guidance duties. But having a concrete title to back it up would be good. It'll be necessary as we continue to expand, but I would guess it's at least a year out or more. On the topic of such things, I received an announcement about an audit coming up! This will be my (and the other two's) first one that we'll be observing. After that, there will be a second where we're expected to run with the senior auditor's guidance and then we're officially auditors! I expect this first one sometime in the next month or two and the second sometime next quarter. If there's anything The Company teaches you, it's patience! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 So, Rainy, a fursuiter, got featured on the Youtube front page, and was inundated by comments from people telling her that they wanted to kill her because she wasn't good enough to deserve to be on the front page and because 'youtube only picked you because they have to pick a furry to promote diversity'. Firstly I am surprised that anybody would actually think youtube chose a furry because they want to 'promote diversity'. That's just such a weird claim that I feel I don't have to point out how silly it is. But god, why do so many people think that going to a woman's channel and telling her to kill herself is a measured response to a youtube recommendation they don't like?

It is not as though people are tied down and forced to watch all the videos that youtube recommends to them. I have a sneaking suspicion that much of the negative reception came from jealous people who believe that they should be promoted by youtube 'instead of these nasty furries,'. I'm also surprised that anybody actually dislikes furries that much...like...really guys...really, you actually care about furries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gratuitous speculation, but a furry themed pedophelia grouped was just discovered in Pennsylvania. This may have influenced some of the backlash, and it's possible that some people think YouTube featured her page because of that event.

Well...English does help you become eloquent in literary and speech communications, for example, you did just misspell three words. Large amounts of grammatical errors dont make your speech fluid and breaks the flow of words in language. English might be difficult but it allows for a lot of creative flow and ability to expand mental capacity and sharpness, and it is very much useful. A lot of video game developers also had to write script for their games, making it believable and feasible in practice. Without literary skills all the games you love wouldnt be the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right wing terror groups have been the second deadliest, after Islamists, since 9/11. Many people said that comparisons of Trump to Hitler were just hyperbole, but the comparison might be more apt than they would have cared to admit, if he really is going to absolve Neo-Nazis. o_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
