It's pretty common to bond over dislikes. Besides, disliking something isn't negative, and there's nothing wrong with being negative even if it were.

Yeah I was a bit perplexed by the mention of it being the strong stuff but I think you're right.

Wow some people know less than you and are here to learn, shocking. See ya.

Sorry it was hard for you. I hope you can appreciate how hellish every other year can be for us extreme introverts.

Because often the conservative is a board member or significant investor. It's about time we called it for what it is, corruption.

When you look at support for things such as physical/emotional/financial abuse against men then it's painfully lacking which can be devastating. This alone is a lot more widespread than you may think. Whether this warrants a minister is another question but there are areas which desperately need attention and it's unfair to say just because women get the shitty end of the stick in general that men are not in need to support too.

I just run 'paru'.

Looks interesting and comprehensive though, a few things I should probably implement.

My advice is to just apply and if it takes a while then keep learning and practicing what you know. I was in a similar position and decided to learn python to automate stuff in my admin job. The job was fairly data centric so it wasn't long until I saw someone using pandas and I instantly knew I wanted to be an analyst. I spent a while learning pandas, then SQL and then dicked around with power bi a bit.

When I started applying for jobs I didn't have much success at first but I stumbled on one which included tools I had no experience with but I applied anyway, not expecting anything but feeling desperate and hopeless at that point. Well, I heard back from this one and I ended up getting the job somehow. Now I use Alteryx, which I had never heard of, and Tableau, which I had never used. They must have seen that I was passionate and loved to learn, and we're happy to take me on based on the potential I had. I rarely use python or pandas, occasionally SQL for basic stuff, so it was more the principles from learning these that were useful rather than the actual tools themselves.

I would recommend learning at least the basics of SQL and start learning tableau (by using tableau public). Most of the skills are transferable so learning the logic of one programming language and a bi tool will mean that you can pick up others fairly easily and employers understand this. If you are in excel a lot then learn how to write formulas and learn power query so you can practice joins and data cleansing.

So basically, get the fundamentals down and start applying, don't spend forever trying to learn a million things because you think they are all essential. Apply for as many jobs as you can, even if you don't know the tools they use, and practice and develop your skills while you are waiting.

Anything by Stanislaw Lem. I really liked Fiasco.

What's controversial about who goes to heaven, isn't that stated in the religious text?

Wouldn't this benefit everyone? Presumably the implications are far wider and more important than who makes the most profit from it.
