    AC Revelations basically turned ezio into a god

    I mean yeah the combat was always easy, but with large radius explosives, a gun, throwing knives, the crossbow, and three different counter attacks, it is so hard to lose a fight.

    Like yesterday I wanted to kill a witness in a plaza while I was on the roof but I don't have the xbow yet. So I threw a grenade about eighty feet and killed him and his whole entourage. Somehow this made the templars LESS aware of my presence.

    I think the only XMas card I ever get is from SiG. Other than her, I don't think I know anyone under 40 who does them. Though, she did send me a puppy card last year, so I appreciate that.

    Also, congrats @Pony! You have a job lined up yet?

    well here's the tricky part

    the local cops aren't hiring. our mayor is a dipshit and has dramatically slashed the police budget for the next year so there will be no new hires and in fact some guys will be laid off

    there's provincial and federal agencies i've been applying for with the past week

    and going forward that's what I'm going to be targeting

    I could take a job working private security like

    tomorrow

    if I so chose

    but those jobs suck and the pay is shit.

    so I will only do them if by January I have no irons in the fire of any kind.

    Mim, I am also going to point out I work in a limited area where a masters is basically an entry requirement on top of a couple years experience, especially in the field. But this is something I have heard from more than just my area. Right now, you need a couple years experience to get anywhere because there are so many out there with that experience looking for those entry level jobs that use to not require any experience.

    And expect it to get worse if the EU implodes.

    If you don't mind traveling to some tough areas, I know the UN Volunteer program is always looking for folks. It is paid, though they call it volunteer. And they always need Spanish speakers if you speak Spanish. Also Portuguese, French, and Arabic(Modern Standard will work) are in huge demand in a lot of places.

    I'm signed up with a post-grad internship program but it's not specific to my field

    which means it has a ton of jobs that I am not qualified for and shit

    and currently nothing in my field at all

    so that's likely to be a bust

    So Edmunds did a 100 worst car list. It has the 79 Datsun 280ZX on it. I'm not sure Edmunds knows what the word worst means.

    i mean, you should buy locally

    if you can try them on in person and then be sure you find the exact model online in an identical size then ok

    but it seems worth paying an extra 10 or 20 bucks to get something that will make your shit not be fucking itself in the face around your foot area for the next year or two?

    Pony, not to be rude but I have a lot of memories of you railing against post-secondary education over and over again so I can see where people would get that idea.

    Though you really did a very specific certification more than a standard post secondary program that people think about.

Also, for whatever reason, I didn't think one went to college to be a cop. I thought you went to like... cop school... or something.

    all of my railing has been against ivory tower egg-headery, or as Tycho recently put it, "intellectualism for intellect's sake"

    but yeah my education is much closer to like

    trade school

    than a bachelor's degree

    i don't even qualify for some of the higher ends of law enforcement (for example, I do not qualify to be a mountie)

    I'm mostly interested in the behind the scenes stuff at the publishers places. I'm going to be applying to internships at those places, big or indie.

    but working in a comic shop right now would be divine.

    I fought the first Dragon in Skyrim... I was robbed of my moment of glory by the NPCs who killed the dragon while I ran around in circles, waiting for my magicka to get up so i could cast a spell i didn't need.

    i mean, sure, i still got the shouting thing, but I didn't feel on top of things at all, i felt like a bystander.

    it depends

    in some parts of the US and Canada, for example, you can enter police academies or training courses done by police forces themselves with nothing more than a high school education.

    however, most law enforcement agencies in Canada at least nowadays will not even consider someone without a relevant college education. Law Enforcement Foundations (which is what my diploma is) is basically the precursor education required now for most government agencies at the very least.

    and even then it generally puts me as inferior to someone with a degree in criminology and the like. i can't just waltz into an inspector position, nor can i take a specialized role like forensics. what my diploma qualifies me to do is enter the police force or other government law enforcement at the entry level, as a basic constable or its equivalent.

    If I wanted to be a cop in some podunk region with low standards (like Durham) a high school education and basic intelligence not to shoot yourself in the face is sufficient

    but I'd rather not do that

    Yeah, I can see why you'd rather not do that. Interesting stuff. What kind of position are you aiming for? Or are you just going to shotgun out applications and see what you get?

    I swear the gun puns were not intentional.

    I would suggest not tying yourself down. Just go fight all the dragons you can until you find that special one.

    Just, you know, bring protection.

    Like, Magicka and Healing potions...

    I mean, this first time, I kinda shot my load and then remembered i needed protection. so it was a bit tricky to get it on and by the time it was on, it was almost over. Next time around I'll have the protection handy first and THEN shoot my magic mojo all over.
