I need to know, this instant: the nationality of the jerks, the nationality of your friends, and what was said by way of lengthy insults.
 
I'd like to know as well.
 
I am dumb and just bought tickets to a concert on a night where I'm already going to a concert. I don't go out that often dammit, why must two bands I want to see be playing on the same goddamn Wednesday night.
 
Apparently last night some jerks lengthily insulted and then physically attacked some of my friends for their nationality. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but unfortunately the jerks got away.

Apparently, it wasn't as big a deal as I first thought. Never mind
 
Getting tired of Undergrad?
 
Applying for government jobs is a paperwork hell and more often than not they are setup for someone anyway.

I can't speak for other countries, but as for the US, a lot of my close family have been government employees (and there's a good chance I'll end up one myself) so I know from what they've told me government jobs can often take a long time and a lot of paperwork, but if you're willing to bear through it the benefits can be quite good depending on where you work (and of course the lazy bureaucrat stereotype is true in some departments (while in others it's the complete opposite; my father has experienced both types)). For instance, for my youngest uncle, it took him a year between when he first submitted his application and when they called him up for the interview and all that jazz, but now he has a comfortable job as a traffic engineer. Anyways, my dad and relatives tell me that if I can get my foot in the door then it's really easy to switch between different branches. Knowing someone who works in a relevant government branch helps too, I suppose.

So I guess if you can bear with the wait, it might work out alright.
 
eh true but being drunk is a lot of work

You have a peculiar outlook on life.

It's also not cheap.

Reasonable objection.

The big difference I can tell from the application process is that your resume and application are a bit like an interview advertising document for the private sector, but in the public sector they actually want to know everything up front. Like, everything. When applying for a government job in the US, more is more.

A couple of years ago I was hired for both a government and non government job. The non government job had much the more larger and difficult paperwork. And the government gave you time to do it. The non government had to have it returned within the following business day.
 
Great. Today we celebrate our advanced sense of federal justice by sentencing a prisoner to capital punishment. Well played America. Goooo home team.
 
I'm sure. Mr. "He was reaching for his waistband" Tim?

The fact that I am incensed by cops shooting unarmed people more or less at random and suffering no consequences due to the unbreakable nature of the "I feared for my life" defenses that have become the standard does not mean I am squeamish about a little bloodletting. In this case there was ample due process and consideration so I'm not going to protest.

The guy demonstrated clearly that he considers his cause worthy of giving lives for, so he can give his own with my full approval. If I deem a cause worthy of giving lives over I probably won't put my own first on the list, but I certainly wouldn't expect it to have some sort of exemption status either.
