So is 'security camera' also a misnomer? His job is to make theft less likely because he will report you to the police. That still falls in the realm of security. I will say that 'security observer' would be a better job title than 'security guard' but they never claimed a job title, just a general field of work.
I can't help but think of this from the wizard's point of view as a 4chan green text.
be me, an edgy young wizard. Want to pick a really cool wizard name and come up with "Charles LeSorcier."
mfw the older wizards all make fun of my name.
get in an argument with a local noble and lose my temper. claim I put a curse on his whole family line that they will each die when they are 30.
remember I haven't learned how to do it. go home and try to figure out how to cast a blood line curse. it's too complicated, I can't figure it out. Can't ask the other wizards now because they already heard about the curse and they'd just make fun of me more.
make a secret lab in the noble's basement and spend the next 10 years stuck there trying to figure it out. still fail. time's up, he turned 30. if the noble doesn't die they'll all know I lied. finally give up and just sneak into his house and murder him. make it look like an accident.
mfw the other wizards fall for it. they all think I'm alright now. maybe they will forget about the bloodline thing by the time the noble's kid is 30.
the bloodline thing is all they want to talk about. 18 years later I have to murder the next one. the other wizards are super hyped I pulled it off, want to be my friend now. none of them know how to cast a bloodline curse either.
mfw I'm stuck for the next few centuries hiding in a noble's basement and murdering them every couple decades to cover my lie.
Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.
From the page. Odd that they claim that, yet every single report they found worth publishing further down the page is about stuff they consider 'left'.
The board's job is to hire the CEO and demand good value for shareholders. The CEO's job is to make the big decisions to achieve that goal quickly and then usually leave before their short term thinking falls apart. The manager's job is to enforce whatever decisions the CEO makes, even if it is stupid or cruel. And the employee's job is to suffer so that each layer above can look good to the layer above them.
Not to say there's no good people in the system. My manager for most of my time there was actually a good manager who felt that his primary job was to deflect away the shit that rolled down from above so we could focus on our work, but then he got laid off along with half my coworkers.
I do miss writing software, but I really don't miss working in the corporate world.
Well, for once he's not wrong. She certainly proved herself to be an incompetent loser of a lawyer. Even I knew you don't show up in a federal court room without already having memorized the rules for basic shit like introducing evidence.
Haha, different meaning of the word. Referring to "chaps" the clothing item from the Western part of the U.S., not to folks who don't have an ass. Chaps were made of leather and worn over jeans to protect to protect the inside seam area of them from excess wear from rubbing against the side of the saddle and the stirrup straps when spending a long time riding a horse. Or are sometimes worn without the jeans by men being lewd.
The technicalities can get weird, but it makes a huge difference. In the US (it works differently in different legal systems) even the defendant's basic constitutional rights are different between civil and criminal proceedings. For example you can't plead the 5th (invoke the right to not be compelled to provide incriminating evidence against yourself) in a civil trial because your testimony couldn't incriminate when the trial's not criminal. Any evidence gathered this way in a civil trial is therefore inadmissible in a criminal trial about the same matters. That's why Bill Cosby got his rape conviction overturned on appeal. A lot of the criminal case against him was based on evidence he was compelled to give when he got sued over it earlier, so it shouldn't have been allowed in the criminal trial. The appeal didn't find him innocent, just that the conviction had to be thrown out because the process had violated his rights.
TeChNiCaLlY, unless I missed something big, he wasn't convicted of the rape. That requires a criminal trial. A jury did find that he raped her as a material fact in a civil trial, so we can say with legal certainty that it happened, but until an actual conviction, it will be used as a excuse to avoid holding him to account for it. Of course a bunch of the right are the type to blame the victim or wave it off entirely for that particular crime anyway so I don't know how much difference even a conviction would make to them.
Joy ride and running drugs are common reasons to steal any old car. Whoever has been stealing it clearly isn't doing so to keep it since the same car keeps getting stolen again.
Ah yes, of course, the city of mythical love.
