I'm not overlooking anything. Your property-as-a-state still requires other states to acknowledge your borders to provide you legitimacy, regardless of whether you require trade or not. Many 'country-sized' states require trade to support their population, and many homesteads can support...

Ding! Ding! Ding! Thank you for exactly agreeing. If only other states would accept your borders and trade with you (ie: recognize you as a sovereign state and lend you legitimacy), you too could be a state.

Recognition by other states is critical for legitimacy - that's why you can't just declare your property and family a sovereign state separate from whatever country you're in (despite some extremist radicals' wishes).

Now that's just crazy talk!

Ah. When I read that, I took it as a lead in to Durkula talking about Plan B, and I wouldn't have considered simply having a different one of the seven demigods casting the 'deciding' vote as a Plan B.

Uh... Seven clerics of demigods came in, only six voted. Oversight or part of Plan B?

Be careful of conflating crossdressers and transgender people - while there may be superficial similarities, the motivations behind the two can and do vary considerably. That said, skimming that paper doesn't really show much about the types of crimes, beyond the categories of "crime" and...

As others have said, no, no this anti-discrimination law would not in any way aid predators. 1. Current laws already address predatory behaviour. 2. Predators already show they don't care about laws 3. If they do want a "pretext" to be in there, it's easier to pose as a janitor And yes, it is...

Tangentially, perhaps. I guess I'm not entirely sure why you'd ever have posted the bit about "not calling back names like that" if, as you say, you never put personal ahead of business. If the resume is sloppy, then the name doesn't matter. If the resume isn't sloppy, then the name still...

Plenty of good points made here about what this doesn't, and shouldn't, happen. Thanks. Mayhaps it'll quiet my too-busy mind for a little while... :)

Ah yes... would have to screen out the frivolous stuff somehow... I always assumed they did. I generally try to assume most people want to do their jobs properly until I'm presented evidence to the contrary. I suggested this more as a thought experiment rather than any particular...

Here's a thought I've often wondered, and I hope can be discussed without bringing up actual political ideologies (well, unless someone has an actual link to such a thing happening). A politician makes a promise during a campaign, and it's dear enough to you that you vote for said politician...

Just to jump back a little here... While not directly versus homosexuals, but rather transgender people, you may or may not have heard about Houston voters tossing out the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, with the repeal campaign almost exclusively speaking about "men in dresses lurking to...

Mayhaps you've read the actual survey/report Accountemps used that inspired that article, but my reading of it showed two things: 1. The survey asked the executives “How many typos in a resume does it take for you to decide not to consider a job candidate for a position with your company?”...

Seriously? I was obviously exaggerating to make a point. Edit: Since you seem to have skipped over my epic post, I'll tl;dr for you: It's granted that many businesses trash sloppy resumes. There's no evidence it's because they think the employee will have sloppy work habits. It's far more...

I think some BBcode quoting got messed up in this post of yours Maxperson, so if you in fact did not type the following, I apologize. That caveat out of the way... Flat Earth. Homosexuals are pedophiles. Faked Moon landing. Obama isn't American. Frankly, there are a lot of widely held...

Well, you've certainly implied you think #1 is true, because you keep referring only to 'sloppy resumes', and point to a source noting many executives reject resumes with 1-2 typos as your supporting evidence that others do it too. Perhaps not your intention, but it does make it seem like you...

Them darned players jumped off the DM's railroad agin!

My (lack of) enthusiasm has nothing to do with the series potential quality, but is entirely due to a distaste for the growing walled gardens approach to streaming services.

Nobody is saying sloppy resumes lead to productivity. What we're saying is: 1. that a few typos on a resume doesn't automatically mean sloppy, and 2. there's no evidence that a sloppy resume means sloppy work habits. Yes, it is usually true that people who are careful and detailed-oriented on...
