Shame, I'll probably just stop looking at Twitter altogether

Born in Scotland, growing up in America, the only 'home' she's going to is the homes of which she supports stealing from Palestinians.

I mean, Red Faction Guerilla isn't far off, it's sci-fi and literally a worker's revolution (though against a very cliche villainous enemy). And given your almighty physical and mental powers, you could easily say you have cyber implants.

It absolutely can be. The scope of an NDA tends to be about just the details of certain work, but it can absolutely include broad details and basic facts. I suspect it can even include a period of employment altogether.

You can claim self employment, contract work, jobs with companies that have gone bust, and/or expand your claimed experience within a job and say you signed an NDA (eg Military), and there's practically no way for a company to prove or disprove it.

My personal rule is that I never lie about being able to do something I cannot. When I say I'll work with something, I might not have all the experience I claim, but I know I can do the work.

Very fair. I absolutely also concede to enjoying some movies more when I know the plot, or even moreso when I know the film intimately well.

I remember this study, but I do question the solid conclusions, as there are a lot of caveats - these are about generic, short books, not long ones, not ones that take more than one sitting to finish, nor are they classics, nor movies, the study isn't double-blind, they cover only three very similar genres, the sample size seems tiny (4?) and given that, I wonder if the results are even statistically significant.

I also wonder if 'enjoyment of story' is the be-all and end-all metric when it comes to the value of a story, narratives are about invoking a whole range of emotions and mental journeys, not just enjoyment. Some of the best works I've experienced, I would struggle to rate as 'highly enjoyed', because I sobbed for half of it.

It's an interesting study, whatever the case.

Given a large portion of Israel's export is products appropriated from Muslim culture, halal certification is probably a big deal.

I mean fair, I can understand that.

You don't have to sympathise with the guy to say the event was a bad thing.

I just might :(

Unnecessary stabbing sucks, even that of murderers.
