DP, for more context.

France’s most recent presidential election was between the leader of the far-right and a centrist. Italy was recently run by a populist coalition of some far-right parties. Angela Merkel, of the center-right, has been Chancellor of Germany for a decade and a half. Spain was run by Conservatives ‘til recently, might very well be again soon.

Aside from all this, Europe has seen a resurgence of far-right support in recent years, too.

Do you mean far-left relative to the US?

PPE: I think you’re doing this deliberately. You’re spouting nonsense and expecting to be taken seriously, and spout more nonsense to defend your previous nonsense, wondering why we’re not taking your nonsense seriously.

I liked Biden’s old man ramble at the end.

Going into hiding is probably a good idea if you’ve just killed multiple people.

Getting a new identity would probably be the first step.

So, Bolton's out.

It was kind of an odd mix anyway given that Bolton is such a hawk where Trump isn't. You'd think Trump would have picked someone with views more in line with his own.

Bolton was picked because Trump wanted someone that would loudly support nixing the Iran nuclear deal, when most sane advisors were not supporting doing this thing.

I still think Trump's only reason for scrapping the deal is because it was Obama's deal. He's got a pathological dislike for Big O.

You think far too highly of El Prez.

He didn’t like it because it didn’t have his name on it.

Since it's Interview Season, I walked into mine this afternoon expecting... you know, normal interview questions. Instead I got unexpected philosophical questions and a cross-examination on my hobbies.

Was that good or bad? I think I personally might prefer "and what do you think the meaning of life is?" over "name a time when you worked as part of a group to obtain a set goal."

Well, therein lies the problem. The interview is to determine a person’s fit for a position, skills-wise and culture-wise, broadly speaking.

I’m not sure how your position on an abstract concept likely beyond the limits of the priorities of the position you’re applying for will inform an interviewer of those. At least the former, anyway.

Though I’m speaking as someone who has only ever applied for low-skill positions, the most recent of which I think was basically to make sure I was passable enough as a human to not drool on customers or something.

I got lynched D1 in my first game after panicking and going after an IC. Crushed it as scum in my next game though.

Haven’t had a good run of things lately, unfortunately, but ah well. Thinking of getting back into a game, just not sure if I’m there yet.

That’s like 4 decent sized meals from McDonalds.
