We could be looking at the stairs from underneath.

You meant vertical I think, but get it, this order makes sense even though it wasn’t my first instinct

You should probably see a doctor

'What do you do" said the Dungeon master ?

There are two possible answer, none of which is a better options than the other, different company are looking for different answer:

1 - you want to climb the corporate ladder and want more responsibility => they want that answer if they are planning to grow the team and need people that will take the manager position when that happens

2 - you want stability and to become an expert at that one job, no plan to move (choose whichever personal project of yours outside of work is your focus here, family, house, dogs, sports…) => they want that answer if the team is already quite big and they already have “manager” potential in it. They now need people that will not quit for a better paying job quickly.

Not always, half the time they want to see if you are going to stay where you are and not try to look for another better paying job.

There is no right answer to this question because different employers are looking for different answers. Best is to answer honestly and if it’s not what they wanted to hear it’s actually best for you cause you dodge that bullet.

Interesting take on the situation. I like it.

We are what we do and say.

Whatever we think we are beyond that is the mask we present to ourselves because we don’t like the look of what we do and say, we create this mask to fool ourselves into thinking we aren’t what we actually are: what we do and say.

Starship troopers’s point was missed by the same people making the sequels to it, I was so disappointed by the sequels, and don’t understand how they could have been so oblivious.

I can relate so much, I’m getting a little closer to that dream life everyday.

For anyone wondering, this is the marshmallow test they did.

Not only is he cruel, he is actually participating in making more powerful Seagulls, the surviving seagulls will be the ones that can steal chips and survive being thrown at a wall. Beware the terminator seagull soon attacking your chips, the walls will not survive!

I’m a french vegetarian living in France after living 6 years in Scotland, France is years behind on the diet inclusion issue, I was shocked how difficult it was to find a place to eat out in Paris, way too many cafe/restaurant/etc… gets defensive and refuse to serve you if you don’t have the “historical diet” (whatever that means) of france, and a lot of them don’t offer any “common alternative diet” options on the menu. And it’s not better outside of Paris.

Then of course there are some great places that try to include everyone regardless of their diet, and they are increasing in numbers, but they are still the exception rather than the norm which is a shame.

If you ever goes in Paris and looking for a fully vegetarian classy restaurant, I recommand “Polichinelle”, it’s a bit on the expensive side (~50 euro/person), but it’s high level cuisine, and for a special occasion it’s really worth it.
