At what point do they tell you what salary they’re offering?

Does your field require extensive tests/interview process prior to being hired?

I still use Fb because of the groups/pages there.

There are mentorship and professional groups there that aren’t available elsewhere.

Plus, the local groups for my town/state provide crucial information about weather, taxes, traffic, river safety, etc. In general, it’s a good source of knowledge.

I hate that I’m giving up privacy, but there are also no other social media networks that can compete. I can’t message/Signal my closest 5,000 neighbors to find out which local/free berry patch is ready for picking. But, there’s a fb group for that.

RFK is terrible.

Last Week Tonight did a whole hour on him on Sunday. It’s on YouTube.

———

It has video clips from interviews where he himself brings up that he was friends with Epstein, OJ, and Bill Cosby. When he himself was accused with rape, his response was “I’m not a church boy” and “more might come out.”

There are also video clips showing how on more liberal interviews he says with vaccines he’s open to changing his mind (and even apologizing) if he’s introduced to new facts showing they’re safe. But then he routinely goes on conservative shows and tells them that vaccines are not safe and that he goes up to random people in the park to tell them not to vaccinate their kids.

He also went to Samoa and influenced the death of over 80 people by inspiring a fear of vaccines. (Last Week Tonight shows photos of him there and the welcoming ceremony they put on for him.) But when asked about Samoa, he denies even going there.

Especially because the buggies are black, which blend in at night/dusk.

Daytime running lights are required on large sections of the highway in Alaska. It’s posted on signs on the road and you can get ticketed for it.

“( c ) Every vehicle traveling on a highway or vehicular way or area must illuminate lights when traveling on any roadway that is posted with signs requiring the use of headlights.

(d) For the purposes of ( c ) of this section, lights include low intensity headlights and daytime running lamp devices…”

I hear Bernie’s voice and cadence when reading the quote.

Europe (Germany specifically) has their own problems with carriers though.

When you notify them that you’re cancelling your service, you still have to pay for 3 MORE full months of service after that. Even if you’re in the military and ordered to move. That’s a long time.

This 3 month period mandatory cancellation notice doesn’t change even if you’ve been with them for 2+ years.

For US carriers, once you’ve been with them more than the initial 2 years, you are pretty much able to cancel whenever.

Do you prefer the shorter day and eating at your desk, or the longer day with the lunch break?

[-] NewWorldOverHere@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I had no idea he had a podcast! Thank you so much for sharing this! I just looked it up and am listening now.

I saw he had a podcast during the 2020 election season too, so I’m going to listen to that while waiting for new episodes to come out.

Edit: Going through all the suggestions now - thank you! I hadn’t heard of these before. I appreciate it!

Agreed, my sibling is superficial. They see muscular males as authority figures (for learned reasons I won’t get into) which is a problem when Rogan (+guests) is spouting nonsense.

That’s why I’m trying to find similar content that they’ll enjoy, and help break old habits. They are capable of growth and improvement.

My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

I’m baffled that people are able to see their doctor quickly enough to get a note for proof that they were sick and need time off.

Where are these easily accessible doctors?
