Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO

Highly likely that there was some connections to grease a bit of the wheels of commerce.

All these "i worked as an intern" usually have some connections that "picked" them from that intern pool. The other interns usually tend to be the fall guys. "So sorry all of you missed out but this person is the bestest!". While being the son/daughter/friend/family of someone in that company.

Are they.... you know...?

Nobody is going to actually care about this except as a gossip item.

Did he use Campaign finances to pay for things ? Did he break the law by misusing and mis-appropriating funds ? Has he done money laundering ?

And most important of all, IS HE GOING TO SPEND TIME IN JAIL FOR ALL HIS CRIMES ?

If its "Rules for thee and not for me" most people are not going to care. They will want to set the world on fire and watch it all burn to the ground.

I hope no one wants to know the private going on of these kinds of deranged people. If they do the crime, they must do the time. Sadly it is rich-get-out-of-jail-free card at play.

Just because an Author has some bad takes doesn't have to sour the franchise for you. On principle, you can move on and still carry the enjoyment of your experience. Chalk the author up as "gone cuckoo" or something and don't spoil your initial reactions and interpretations.

Life is all about what you feel, experience and reminisce over. And no one can take that from you. While facts cannot change, your feelings do evolve over time and something you can and should look forward to.

Several factors.

  1. Genetic trait that attracts mosquitoes and biting insects.

  2. Dietary sugars including no-sugar supplements.

  3. BO and FO as well as high metabolism that produces significantly higher body temps and CO2 volume in breath.

BO = Body odour. FO = Foot odour.

Actual Indian here, please DO NOT live the way Indians live in India. The worst unplanned urban sprawl and urban density and squatting and squalor and slums :-(

If you are referring to the Ancient Civilization of local produce and local distribution and local Kingdom Tithes to the Empire while living in villages and the concentrating political, commercial and military power in the major cities. Education "institutes" in deep forest with no "fees" but labor for classes. Since that type of Civilization did once exist and thrived before being wiped out by repeated invasions and conquerors. Most definitely there were social and technology issues, but the slow pace of development did not destroy the landscape.

Medicine, Technology, Transportation, Global Trade need tempering with ecological ethical and sustainable standards of implementation, research and development.

US slows plans to retire coal plants because of AI power usage

AI seems to be just more and more statistical probabilities hashed-out at record-breaking speeds and power-consumption of computing. Its like that adage, "sufficiently advanced that it is magic" we are doing that for AI. We are building more and more complex statistical analysis engines that spew out near-perfect answers from garbage inputs at the expense of actual analysis ,research and development.

Labour MP defends himself as 'renters champion' after 'poor conditions' found in his properties

You'll find that "student accomodations" are probably the biggest scams in the UK. A lot of Indian-origin residents/citizens esp. the first-generation, they have the same "Indian" mentality. You'll find that the 2nd-gen children of these people are more "British" and less "Indian" mindset.

Case in point, the elderly property owner does less than the "minimum" maintenance, charges crazy rent-prices, re-arranges rooms to fit the maximum occupants, almost regular issues like heating, plumbing, mold, etc completely ignored. While suddenly announcing that rent is increasing by 20% "due to inflation, or needed for maintenance" ... don't pay? get out and your deposit is forfeit. Ever showered in cold water during the entire February in the UK ?

You will find that the 2nd-gen children if they find out the elder is doing this, will immediately rectify the situation and probably takeover if they can. Else you are outta luck and on your bum in the middle of winter which no one will want to be.

France: Paris museum erases the name 'Tibet' from their exhibition catalogue replacing it with the Chinese name for the region, deferring to a Chinese political narrative, activists say

Having a bias should not deny you having a voice. Human beings should be understanding and empathetic of each other within reason.

Xitler or Putler must be condemned and prevented from having any voice. Tibetans denied their homeland should be supported and voiced.

Swyers disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

A Genetically-born XY person with fully developed female-organs and no visible male-organs hence failed to go through male-puberty remaining for all intents and purposes female-adjacent.

The Olympics committee via Scientific investigation have determined that Swyers disease persons are essentially female from birth including physical characteristics hence an exception has been made to be allowed in the Olympics female category for participation.

Trans-persons are still not allowed in the Olympics female category no exceptions.
