    yo, people involved in hiring and stuff

    i am updating my cv

    i graduated last September and have a year of post college work experience (June - June)

    should I still list extra curricular stuff I did in college which involved being responsible?

    i was a society treasurer and senior member which involved like, running three events a week and being in charge of several thousand euro of college money and stuff

    i feel like that is important enough to be all "this is me in a voluntary position of responsibility outside of the job" rather than "this was me dicking around in college" but idk
    Real estate is golden on resumes. With 1 year of experience and a degree, you should be able to put pure work and school things on there without having to "cram" or "stretch." However if after your experience, education and formatting, you still have real estate open, adding the other items does not hurt, but it is a lower priority than your work history. If you redact your PII I'll take a look for you and make suggestions.

    My resume is amazing, even when I don't get the job I routinely hear man your resume is amazing/impressive/well done. Also I occasionally hire people.

    Today's news:

    Half of the midwives in sweden have reported hearing damage, from screaming women in labour

    A bronze thief got chased by an angry worker in a ten ton forklift

    Armed police deployed in Fredrikstad to ask a man shooting from a rooftop what he was doing. He was shooting pigeons. Police did not approve of him just starting to blast away from a downtown rooftop.

    At Fonna alpine senter, they had to work a bit to actually find Fonna alpine senter when they got to work.

    "Found some!"

    "I found some more!"

    Those are eleven metre masts, by the way. This, presumably, is what their work days are gonna look like for a while.

    My basic view is that if people are like minded, they should still be critical and open about flaws in the arguments of others, because if you spread halftruths and propaganda it becomes harder to articulate your goals, and harder to achieve your goals. Many leftwing goals are hamstrung by bad spokespeople selling nonsense. And it's literally selling, books, diets, supplements, lifestyle clothing etcet.

    All college students forever are plagued with the idea that they arrive knowing damn near anything, and leave feeling they know jack-all*. I am skeptical that this changed much. My guess is more that the talking points changed so people of different generations get confronted by insanity vice versa. The best teachers of course try to correct this, but it's an endless fight.

    *
    .. universities are truly storehouses of knowledge: students arrive from school confident that they know nearly everything, and they leave years later certain that they know practically nothing. Where did the knowledge go in the meantime? Into the university, of course, where it is carefully dried and stored.

    oh i've got a ton of experience

    basically 3 years of IT alongside my degree, 1 year of research and I'm a college exam invigilator for two different organisations in my spare time for the last four years, too

    i'm not stuck for things, i just wanted something a bit more varied and emphasising that i'm responsible and probably a bit more confident/outgoing than your usual CS grad

    Reading the Vox article.

    I don't disagree with any of this. And have seen it.

    I am not sure it is just the SW or whatever culture but also a fear of being offended. Reading offensive things to explore what makes them offensive and the history around them is important.

    Also people bitching about Twain other than is kind of boring need to get off their damn high horse. Man was pointing out a lot of the bs and such of many of the Southern narratives on slavery and culture.

    And fuck I wouldn't ever remove Upton Sinclair or Said from a reading list.

    Who the fuck gets offended by Sinclair?

    This new understanding of social justice politics resembles what University of Pennsylvania political science professor Adolph Reed Jr. calls a politics of personal testimony, in which the feelings of individuals are the primary or even exclusive means through which social issues are understood and discussed. Reed derides this sort of political approach as essentially being a non-politics, a discourse that "is focused much more on taxonomy than politics [which] emphasizes the names by which we should call some strains of inequality [ ... ] over specifying the mechanisms that produce them or even the steps that can be taken to combat them." Under such a conception, people become more concerned with signaling goodness, usually through semantics and empty gestures, than with actually working to effect change.

    I am in love with this Vox article.

    This paragraph resonates a lot. It reminds me of a critical post I made in the "Green Living" thread once, where people were very much of a 'every bit' helps mentality and it was a real struggle to get across that some things are so marginal that you probably really shouldn't concern yourself with it, that it's far more advantageous to spend time in resources in different manners.

    Max Verstappen (a 17-year-old kid driving his first year in Formula 1) crashed into the safety barrier at Monaco a couple weeks ago while going for an ... ill-advised overtake.

    He experienced the equivalent of 30 Gs in the impact.

    And the only reason that number isn't higher is because both the barrier and the car did their best to absorb the impact.

    Jesus. He described his condition as "a little sore" a few days after the incident.

    Yeah, I bet.

    If you'd like to experience the crash yourself from multiple angles (including one onboard shot!), watch this:

    In the start of his piece, Chait hypothetically asks if "the offensiveness of an idea [can] be determined objectively, or only by recourse to the identity of the person taking offense." Here, he's getting at the concerns addressed by Reed and Reilly-Cooper, the worry that we've turned our analysis so completely inward that our judgment of a person's speech hinges more upon their identity signifiers than on their ideas.

    It is amazing how identity is now the key to so many arguments instead of ideas being discussed.

    Won't lie, I see it here with @Spool32 all the time and it is frustrating.
