Manifest Destiny is pretty much that. The US fought Mexico, Spain, and British Canada, exploited the political situation in Europe to buy a huge chunk of land from France, and displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of native people. The US is the 4th largest country by area. Having that much contiguous land is insanely valuable and powerful. By the time the US would have even had to think about colonizing like the Europeans it was going out of style.
But also mate which is hot, caffeinated, leaf juice, is a-ok and totally not tea.
It’s a campground chain in the US.
I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.
It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.
Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves “normally”. I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.
Prostetics have gotten extremely advanced in the last 20 years. People are controlling and getting real feedback from replacement limbs.
I can only speak to what’s expected in the US.
For personal info you should include your full legal name, a contact phone number, email, and possibly a link to a portfolio of some kind if that’s expected in your industry (arts, software, design, etc.). No need to put a birth date or any more personal info. If you’re applying to work in another country, I would indicate your nationality and what visas you might have or need to be sponsored for.
For education, just put the institution, degree, field of study, location, and dates. You can include degree honors there if you have any. Once you have an undergrad degree of some kind, you can remove your high school unless its particularly prestigious.
After that it should primarily be a list of any work experience, notable projects, skills, and honors/awards.
I don’t see it as hypocritical at all. Public comments are, for me at least, put out for the public good. The same reason someone might license open source code with the MIT license. My issue with Reddit is that they restricted who can obtain the data and then privately sold them to only the highest bidder. They should be freely available to all who want to view them without restrictions on money or power.
Apparently they weren’t redundant if you needed them to make the expansion…
Whatever floats your boat…
