32M, BSc in Statistics, Canadian, having a hard time finding a data science job. I have a disability. I have some work experience in internship and temp roles. I really like math, but am not good with physical labour, and I'm doing a one year software coding certificate this year.

My dad's side mostly does engineering, most of my mum's side are in construction. I feel that going into architecture, which to me would link skills in both, would have been a better balance of my interests with practicality and those of both sides of my family instead of just focusing on something abstract in science. In Canada especially right now there are far more jobs in the transportation and housing industry which would use architecture than there are in pure science (most of my friends who stayed in pure science and didn't switch to something like business went abroad). But I have a feeling it might be too late to switch now and I would waste even more time, unless I could somehow get into an MArch with a BSc instead of a BArch or BEng. Maybe I could do something data related, like housing statistics?

I'm struggling applying for jobs and I think it's because of this dilemma. I don't have much work experience outside of internships, a few scattered jobs here and there, and lots of skills I picked up during my post-secondary education.

I want to put as may skills as possible to show a more well rounded skillset to compensate for the lack of work experience, but how do I do this without cluttering the resume or making it too long (2-3 pages)? I can't seem to get this right.

Both of my parents worked full time, and I was an only child, so I was largely raised by my Greatest Generation grandparents, so I feel that I don't relate to either most Millenials or Gen Z. I feel that I almost relate more to Gen X and older Millenials (80s).

Even though I am a Zillenial, and could interact with Gen Z, I find my temperament to cause me to distance myself from Gen Z dominated groups as much as possible. There are too many different ways of communicating, and Gen Z in general I find to have too much nervous energy. My problem is that because of my upbringing I don't have much in common with most Millenials either. What I mean is that while my personality may be millenial I don't relate to a lot of the interests of younger millenials.

I've never encountered this problem before, but I'm in the process of transferring some large files, mainly books, onto a usb. So I was in the process of cutting and pasting them into the USB drive. I created a sub-folder by category, and accidentally made a typo in one of them. I wanted to fix the typo, but for some reason, it refused to change the name, even after trying two or three times, it kept reverting to the original name. Anyways, once I opened the folder, all the contents were gone. It says total file size 0, contents 0.

Since I had cut them from my laptop, they don't exist there either... help :/

(But, this didn't affect the contents in the USB that weren't in that particular folder. Only the folder itself is acting glitchy.)

It almost sounds like a cartoon villain, but whenever I see a linkedin recruiter post talk about their hiring strategy they always seem to confess that they rejected people for dumb and potentially illegal reasons. The weird up beat tone of the message is jarring when contrasted with the sad reality of people being rejected from jobs and comes off as like a psychopathic villain speech. Anyone else get this impression?

I'm Canadian. I'm aware of the war with Iran, and it's probably not safe to go anywhere int the Middle East currently. But otherwise how is it normally?

I'm mainly talking about the heavy r and the vowels.

I'm looking for some information on deceased relatives in the 90s and early 2000s and there is a paywall behind them on Newspapers at Ancestry and the local newspaper public directory does not permit access. The obituaries show up, however, on an Ancestry results search, but require a monthly fee to access.

So I'm not sure what to do. Was wondering if there was another alternative without paid subscription.

Whenever Alex Jones or Nick Fuentes talk, always starts about a real conspiracy, that's what I think causes people to be interested in them, like with 9/11 or the recent Middle East situation, but then they go and make it insane and talk about lizard people making the frogs gay or how a white ethnostate will fix the West. That immediately discredits many average peoples concerns, in the eyes of elites, of abuse of power. This is especially true with the Epstein files, because when an average person starts to address concerns of such issues, they are often linked by social media companies or big institutions with Jones/Fuentes, even if they are simply talking about facts and not making up insane ideas or spreading hate.

edit: i dont just mean the iran war, but everything with israel/palestine, epstein files, etc. tangentially related to it.

There is not much information about Telugu Kshatriyas, and I have never met a Telugu Christian outside of my family (most Indian Christians, at least in Canada, are Konkanis or Syrians). They converted during British rule from Hinduism and intermarried with other Indian Christians in Bangalore such as Mangaloreans. I only found some information on Telugu Kshatriyas on Wikipedia, but it claims my specific clan's identity is speculative, so I'm not sure what to go on.

If this helps, my grandfather's family were primarily industrialists and engineers.

Inspired by someone's recent post, I'm wondering about this as a plan for the future (I'm Canadian, currently in Canada), whether it's feasible, if one is able to get a stable job, and whether it depends on whether the job is in Canada or in the other country, and whether it depends on the country.

Inspired by someone's recent genetic results, I am wondering this. I am a bit confused on what exactly ASI means, other than non-Indo-Aryan and non-Munda.

As a Canadian I've noticed that both in Canada and the UK, left wing parties increasingly speak like the progressive wing of the Democrats, and the Conservatives in our countries use MAGA talking points.

There used to be a time when we were able to have independent politics, sometime in the 90s and early 2000s, where we would agree on some things and disagree with other things, that the US left or right did. I think this is increasingly true in Australia and NZ as well.

But today it seems that the UK, especially more so than Canada, especially Reform is largely following populist types and there seems to have been a decline in both traditional Tory conservatism and pre-woke Labour. (Not just Blairites but even before Blair. I think a lot of non-far left Labour are mislabeled Blairites because of how unpopular Tony Blair is.)

For example the Tories did many things that would be seen as left wing by MAGA, Labour was often seen as right wing by the progressive US Democrats. Today it increasingly seems that both the left and right in our countries are taking marching orders from the American culture war--and I think this is Starmer's biggest problem, he's trying to govern like pre-2020s Labour, in an era in which it is basically obsolete.

Just to show you how out of control and bonkers our immigration system is, I have two cousins from France who spoke French and were interested in learning English and moving to Canada. A few years ago, they got a visa. They both worked full time jobs and had 3 kids.

They were in Quebec and both Ottawa and the Quebec government refused to renew their residency, for some reason. (Quebec has a veto over who gets let into the province.) So they went to an immigration office in Toronto (I am in Ontario) and they were turned back because, according to IRCC, they weren't refugees and so were asked to go on the waitlist(?)

They eventually went back to France because they couldn't get their visa renewed after repeatedly attempting to contact the feds and Quebec.

Canada lost a hard working family that wanted to integrate and contribute to Canadian society, because of this government's incompetence.

There's a big debate about whether Fascism is left wing or right wing. I believe it could be described as "Reactionary Modernism", and takes elements of both. But that's really not the point here. The point is, there's obviously a connection with Socialism, but not Marxist socialism.

I recently discovered this ideology called Yellow Socialism, I wanted to know more about it, and was wondering if it inspired partly Fascism, because it contains a lot of the ingredients:

- class collaboration

- anti-Marxism

- nationalistic chauvinism

- association with social democratic parties (many Fascists call themselves patriotic social democrats)

It emerged around WW1, in France, right on the eve of Mussolini's March on Rome. (Of course this was also the period of Action Francaise.)

The main difference is that Fascism was on its way to having a fully fleshed out mythology and system of propaganda (cut short by the Axis defeat), and relied substantially on national myths and (real or imagined) ancient civilization connections.

I'm Canadian half-Indian. My dad was born during the British era and came to Canada in the 1970s.

He only has a baptismal certificate dating to the 1940s, but as far as I'm aware those aren't accepted by the Indian govt. So how would I go about applying for an OCI card? Records during that era were spotty so I don't have his birth certificate.
