It’s ok guys. They forgot to condemn Hamas while they were starving and seeking refuge so it’s ok.

Skill-based hiring is more complex than “traditional” experience/education based hiring but it can work really well for orgs. that really invest in this method of hiring.

And by investing I mean they train and empower their recruiters to spot and assess the skills the business is looking for.

Many businesses talk the talk but don’t set themselves up skills-based hiring.

I think a terrorist like Shamima should be hanging from a rope.

Saying that, as Brit born and raised here, it brings me quite a bit of comfort knowing that I’m a lesser citizen than the natives since my parents are immigrants.

One law for the natives. One law for us foreigner-born cunts. Equal in citizenship? Like fuck we are.

I think this phenomenon can be explained by understanding our frame of reference with respect to time when we’re high.

In normal time (NT), time registers fairly linearly from our perspective. Generally, each second feels about as long as the next and we’re able to measure our mood, emotions, experiences and how long they go on for with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

In high time (HT), time does not flow linearly from our perspective. One second could be as long as the next, or it could be slower. There’s no really way to tell. Even if you deliberately set a timer like I often do, the numbers on the dial don’t really tell the whole story.

And I think this is because you can perceive so much more while high. Those cymbals you don’t hear in when in NT. The way the clouds move in the painting that you don’t notice in NT. The micro expressions on your friend’s faces as you talk that you don’t notice in NT.

You start to perceive all these extra things. Things that have always been there but time forgot to highlight to you, because you were in the wrong sort of time.

So when you’re in the correct time, the HT, I think you start to measure time not in how many seconds flow from one to the next, but by how much you experience from one moment to the next.

Then when you start to think of the moments passing and the minutes passing too, you realise that you actually packed more moments into those minutes than you would have in NT – and if you had to normalise those HT moments with NT moments to make the moments last the same amount of time, what actually ends up happening is that the seconds and minutes end up being longer when translated into a linear time space.

I hope this makes sense, if not, I’ll try and draw it.

Apologies if it’s not entirely obvious mate. But yeah, I was being sarcastic.

But it’s honestly not that far removed from what I’ve heard some people say with a completely straight face.

Normally I’m in a weird place when time feels slower when I become aware of it, but it speeds up too much when I’m doing something which means I’m not paying attention to the time anymore.

Those olives were probably feeding Hamas. They obviously had to destroy the enemies supply lines.

As a current iPhone owner the one thing I miss about android is how easy it was to install apps from outside the play store.

Maybe we will get a better web browser one day!

Except that’s not what happened in reality before Google started rolling out their version of RCS.

The carriers implemented their own versions that didn’t weren’t interoperable with each other, and that was for the ones that even bothered with it at all.

And now they have even less incentive to try.

RCS is nice in theory, but no one is serious about implementing the universal profile.

I hope they do it. And I hope It’s bad enough to push users away.

Then I my exit out of the Meta ecosystem will be complete!

And yet, no developer other than Samsung has been granted access to Google’s version of RCS.

I’d love to see a truly standard, rich, secure messaging service, but I’m not convinced what Google is doing here is any better than Apple.

 

The European Commision's stance on this is baffling to me. It seems like both the EU and UK motor industry would be big losers under the current arrangement.

I get the EC may not have the most favourable view of the UK right now, but does it make sense to handicap their own manufacturers for a few political brownie points?

 

I think it’s pretty troubling that the military may have to step in to cover what should be police matters when it’s not a matter of a national emergency.
