I keep hearing various politicians say the USA is the wealthiest nation and the nation with the largest military in the world. Therefore, the USA is powerful and no need to worry. However, I am a bit confused. If the USA is in debt, how is it the wealthiest country? The only thing needed is a country with $0 in order to be wealthier....right? Or am I misinterpreting the entire thing?
"Protects against cruel and unusual punishment". Can someone please explain to me why this isn't applicable to the actions of ICE agents right now? Have people just forgotten that it exists? Do detainment camps not count as "cruel and unusual punishment"?
Edit/Clarification: The question is not about deportation. The question is about detainment facilities. Per the UN, the detainment camps have contained human rights violations such as: keeping the lights on all day. If the 8th amendment protects against "cruel and unusual punishment" (and detainment is their "punishment" for "illegal staus/entry"), should it not protect against human rights violations? I will also note (because this keeps coming up), due process is the 5th amendment, not the 8th.
I just had an interview and the recruiter asked some of the most detailed questions about my resume I have ever experienced so far. (I've had about 8 interviews in the past 4 months) It was: tell me more about job 1, job 2, my opinion of both and even down to asking me what I was doing during a 5 month gap on my resume.
No one so far has gone through the details of asking me what I was doing during this gap. If an interviewer is very analytical of your resume, would you assume:
OR
I've had mixed messages on peanut butter and whether or not I should consume it when I'm trying to lose weight/diet. The advocates tell me it's a good source of protein. The critics say it has added sugar and is calorie dense. Would you recommend peanut butter to someone on a diet or would you avoid it?

Small rant but I miss the old iPhones. Why did they have to get bigger? I liked when it fit in my pocket. Why did they take away the home screen button? Why did they remove the headphone jack at the bottom so I can listen to music and charge at the same time with basic headphones? Anyone else miss the old cellphones?
February: Applied
Early May: Interview Request
Late May: Interview
June: Selected to move forward for interview 2
Yesterday: Rejected
The company told me if I was selected to move forward, there would be a second interview. Why was I rejected with no second interview if I received an email saying I was moving forward? Any ideas?
I was recently laid off from a contracting job with FEMA. I figured insurance would be more stable. I was just hired as a CAT adjuster and didn't realize that it was ALSO a seasonal/on-demand job. Is there any such thing as a permanent CAT adjuster where I don't have to sit around and wait to be deployed?
isn't probably incredibly painful being an incel and not experiencing love don't you think?
Now that Boston and Glasglow are partners.... I'm proposing:
1.Solvang, CA and Copenhagen
Anyone have any other ideas?
It won't let me post photos with my slogans. What do you think of my poor-Microsoft Paint creations for July 4th?
I'm serious. Have they started planning ANYTHING? They do realize there will probably be a massive Trump rally/event(just like the MMA fight or parade) and if the DNC doesn't do anything, they are seen as unenthusiastic, unpatriotic people? The Democrats need to take back the flag on 07/04, have they started to plan anything at all?
I was very interested in Dr.K's statement in the interview recently that our responses are often rooted in childhood.(He was referring to a trapped 8 year old). After contemplating, I think I discovered where everything went wrong for me. I grew up disabled and was frequently bullied. I had a tremendous amount of social anxiety. But doctors told me throughout childhood that most people with my condition, grow out of the condition. That was always the prayer, the birthday wish, the shooting star: no more medical condition. When I turned 11, the doctors said they had a cure. My condition got better and I noticed no one at school treated me better. Instead, I was prank-called, female bullied, fake "will you go out with me?", the girls then made bad comments instead about my size and bra. I think I learned then that it was never about the medical condition. People dimply didn't like ME. Regardless of when I thought they did, it was a joke. So, what was the point? Why try? If even fixing my biggest flaw didn't help, could anything...ever?
Last day to submit a comment is July 2nd!
How much time do you usually let pass before you know "I didn't make it!"? I recently had an interview who said they would be interviewing candidates for the next few weeks...it's been a few weeks and haven't heard back. In other cases, I've been "referred" and the next month been contacted for an interview. How long do you usually wait?
I've been reading online that this year is predicted to be a Super El Nino year? This would mean less hurricanes and increased flooding in CA and TX? What has your experience been with Super El Nino years? Do you think these disasters (if occurred) could be big enough for declarations and deployments?
Dr.K talked about "Adjustment Disorder" meaning that people feel sad easily. I don't know if I'm one of those people but I'm regularly faced with these moments of feeling sad at random times, in random places and don't even know why. Like I'm on the bus and looking out the window and then feel the need to cry. I'm sitting on the couch alone and then feel the need to cry. On a park bench, in the car with family, at work, etc. I can't figure out what the situations have in common because even when I ask myself why I am feeling sad in the moment...I can't think of why. There are also moments where I wonder why I cried so much and why I didn't cry when emotionally, I should have. For example, when my cat died, I spent 2 weeks crying. When my grandma died(who I was very close to), I never shed a tear.
I cry easily at things that might be more expected like...movies, sad music videos, watching other people get sick in the hospital but still can't find out why the bus makes me sad. I often find myself pinching myself or digging my thumbnail into finger in public or family events to stop tears. (When people ask why I look sad, I just tell them I'm listening to sad music or watched a sad video.)
Has anyone faced a similar problem? Just feeling sad and bursting at random moments while never being sure what triggered it in the first place?
Trump first sent the National Guard to LA on June 7th, 2025. Thoughts on the fact that this was one year ago? Do you think we have made progress or did things get worse?
So....are people looking for a "yes" or "no" to this. I feel like it could go either way. I realize that some jobs may want people to use AI for efficiency but also feel like the question could be a trap into "maybe the person doesn't think for himself/herself"? How should this question be answered in interviews?
I got an interview and the person only asked me 2 questions. 1) Tell us about yourself. 2) What is your desired hourly rate. Then HR ended the phone call. WHY? I've never had any interview this short.
Why people? Why?
