My industry is desperate. I hire people that are barely qualified if at all just based on if they seem like they'd be able to learn. So I recognize I'm an outlier, but just saying such situations exist. I've been doing this about 15 years and I've never once had more qualified candidates than roles to fill.

Industry dependent I know but every time I've had two good candidates I've just gone ahead and hired both

Yeah if you're gonna do a fraud at least put the minimum thought into it. It's disrespectful is what it is. Gives honest grifters a bad name

Did they say anything inaccurate or does reality just make you uncomfortable?

Actually when you live in a democracy it is. Or at least, if you don't you still get the consequences when these kids start voting.

Dude reread the shirt. It doesn't make any broad generalizations. A woman. A man. A fish. A bicycle. It doesn't say all women can live without all men. You're projecting.

What's wrong with a single woman living life without a male partner? Nothing. That's what the shirt is saying. Your response is exactly why people feel it needs to be said.

Also is this dude implying he knows how to design/build/maintain all those things himself? Cause lol. I design power systems, you don't want me building roads

The difference would be that presumably we'd be holding that prisoner despite Russians wishes not because of them. We paid for them (are paying?) to hold this guy. He's not their prisoner, he's ours. The whole situation is fucked but that analogy isn't quite accurate.

Some damned foolish thing in the Balkans

Seems like a great opportunity for an actual televised protest. Line the parade route with opposition

Yeah I'm confident I could learn to run a cash register pretty dang well in less than a month. No way I'm learning plumbing that quick. Also, I'm confident I could teach myself to run a cash register. If I tried to teach myself plumbing (like, no books, internet, etc) I'd be at pretty high risk of a literal shotshow

Yes but compare that to a 'skilled' profession. 4 year degree, 5 years training under a licensed professional, series of examinations, and continuing education requirements.

It's not that one is 'unskilled' in a vacuum, it's that it has relatively less time/effort investment to reach 'acceptable' performance
