Unfortunately a lot of places use the even worse version of ATS where you have to basically manually fill in your resume. Manually adding in work experience, education, certificates, etc... into their own little mini fields. I find these in

From my understanding the ACLU used to stand for the civil rights of everybody and even defended KKK members. But now they have taken sides on various social justice movements and targeted groups that oppose these sides. Instead of fighting

No I am Canadian, so I am still in North America. And while we do prioritize health more than America, we do still have a decent amount to consider when it comes to healthy eating still. I know in America processed food is quite a bit cheap

Does them living a shorter life mean they are cheaper? I feel like comparing someone who dies of lung cancer at 60 years old to somebody who lives to 90 isn't really a fair comparison. Sure that 90 year old may end up costing more in t

You are talking about a different thing here aren't you? I am talking about a tax applied to unhealthy foods but you are just talking about the price of processed foods being cheaper. One is about the government, the other is just abou

Unhealthy eating is already taxed higher here. Processed foods are taxed here whereas things like produce typically have no tax. Extreme sports are nowhere near as popular as things like smoking, drinking, and unhealthy eating. And extreme

I feel the same way as you. In high-school I had a chance to do a "co-op" program (like being an intern for the American's) for a company. I did web development work there. I got offered a job there over the summer and contin

In places that have free healthcare like Canada the sin taxes actually start to make a lot more sense. Heavy smokers and alcoholics are likely to use more healthcare resources compared to somebody who doesn't engage in those activities

I think that is because there is actually DRM technology in the browser that communicates with Netflix when on their site. So it's definitely a lot more than just checking a UA. But it would be nice if it were that easy.

Realistically too, a lot of the content on Hackernews is also on Reddit. However the difference a lot of the time is the intelligence level in the comments can vastly differ. I find Hackernews is where you come for a less political, more lo

Can you please stop replying for the parent commenters on all my comments? I'm more interested in what they have to say here rather than someone clearly biased coming in to share their opinion against me everywhere.

They also have kids so it sounds like that plays into why they would be extra cautious. Maybe they are willing to risk that extra time needed to have the gun out for protection if it means they don't have to worry about their kids gett
