I found duolingo very helpful for spanish, but I recognize that if I hadn't taken the class in high school it wouldn't have been nearly as easy to jump into duolingo.

GTA V took on this freemium mobile game type culture and if they ruin GTA 6 with that out of the gate I'm going to have to hard pass.

Damn you own a house

Accept responsibility for breaking it. Then rebuild through actions not words. There's a ton of variables depending on your specific situation, but this is the core concept. Additionally, some people will not allow you the opportunity to rebuild and it is important to recognize when that is the case and move on.

Touching on option C real quick, they can calculate the dollar amount of the theft and pursue criminal charges. Obviously that would be absurd in this circumstance, but be aware.

From an HR perspective it would depend on if the policy was clearly communicated to employees prior to the incident and if that could be proven in a wrongful termination lawsuit. It's a perfectly acceptable answer if the employee really wasn't aware of the policy. There are for sure some companies that aren't as risk averse, but if you get fired for something like a rule they didn't tell you about that's grounds for a lawsuit.

What the other workers are doing isn't relevant to the HR investigation pertaining to you. If there was a concern about systematic practices it would have been communication to the entire team. Sounds like they are only doing paperwork on you. It doesn't necessarily hurt to politely point out that it is common practice for employees to eat the food about to go to waste, but do so without pointing to any individuals. The goal in this would be to demonstrate they are taking an action (writing you up, terminating, suspension, etc) that they haven't historically taken with other employees. After pointing that out the company has a couple options. They may realize you are correct and if there is tangible evidence of other employees eating the food and management being aware of that behavior without taking action against anybody previously and suddenly you now... Well that could be grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit and HR's whole job is to mitigate that risk. So they might drop it entirely.

The other option for the company, is for them to say "Well we didn't know people were eating the food" write everybody and create a record of communicating to all staff the food is off limits moving forward. Thus creating that historical record they need to take actions in the future.

If the food is waste like you say, then odds are they are trying to push you out and they just need paperwork to do that. Would recommend you minimize communication, look for another job and/or be prepared to file for unemployment. If you can prove there was no written policy to not eat the food, that it was common practice amongst staff, and that you were the only one who was terminated for it, you'll most likely win an unemployment hearing.

Online sales tax is charged if the merchant company has a physical location in the state the purchase is being made.

I had issues with this and ended up just switching to the flatpak for VLC.

When they raise interest rates to counter inflation and unemployment.

General markets aren't that bad right now. We're still going up. It just has all the signs of becoming bad soon.

If your time frame is 10-30 years you can jump in any time and expect a decent return by the end. Timing the bottom is quite tricky. With your extended time frame it wouldn't be the end of the world if you miss the bottom.

If you still want to try though, familiarize yourself with what's going on at central banks. Why and what actions they take and how those actions impact markets.

Then you're up to speed with the rest of us wondering if Warsh can even do what Cheeto wants or of the board will outweigh him.

OP will have to close the Lemmy tab to do further research
