Your rationale is that Russia is an evil empire trying to expand its borders to its former glory, and that's why it attacked Ukraine... a primary school level of simplification. Disagree. Replace "evil empire" with "O

That is semantic bullshit. No it's not. It follows directly from the dictionary definition of what "censorship" means. Which unfortunately is widely misunderstood. You think your moral superiority should allow you to exe

What does “suppressed in the public sphere” mean in this context? Information about the law is very easy to find. If the topic interests you it may be worth your while to have a look. The books are either banned or not. Or there's

Assuming they really are (which as the sibling commenter points out, is open to question): Because it's an intrinsically high-stress role, by any metric. And on top of that, you have massive psychological expectations to answer to. I

It's worth trying, assuming you have tons of time to burn and don't mind getting a mostly zilch response rate. The key is to start your cover letter (in fact, you can even deadpan) by mentioning that you've never had this rol

Sadly, I agree. Across the board, I've suffered (way) more from coworkers' lack of basic emotional stability (or basic personal integrity) than deficits in experience or skills. I'd take a rookie manager over an experienced

It also says that it does protect you from other people's loads, albeit imperfectly. However everyone is tired of masking now, and prefers to forget this.

"X years of professional experience" requirements can make it difficult to branch out of a stack/space, limiting the pool of opportunities. A vast understatement, especially when applied to specific skills and used as hard

I think you're overthinking this, especially as to hidden psychological motivations. The primary reason some people still mask is very simple: For anyone who follows basic science, not what the crowd is doing -- N95 masks in enclosed

Surely your CV is inherently public information Says who? I find it actually quite strange to think of not only your own, but everyone else's professional (and implicitly: social, geographic) history as "inherently public"

It may make you feel comfortable to believe that's why they mask. But (knowing many people who still mask, under varying circumstances) -- that's not why they mask.

Right - the new law is quite restrictive. But it doesn't say what Airbnb wants us to believe it says.

That's the take-away Airbnb wants us to have, but that's just not what the law says, as the company knows perfectly well. Please see the sibling comment in regard to this.
