If you want an entry point, I really enjoyed Like A Dragon. Lets you test out the vibe without needing a lot of background on the actual story of Yakuza.

Don’t just focus on the books, as impactful as that is worldwide. Dollywood is the largest employer in the Pigeon Forge area now. She founded a bald eagle sanctuary in the 90s. Tons of scholarships in Sevier County to help address a dropout rate that was, at the height of her popularity in the 90s, over 30%. Coronavirus research donations and vaccine awareness. AIDS research funding (through a charity album). She helped fund a hospital, helped with wildfire and hurricane relief, so much more.
You might be right to go “well some of those were probably tax writeoffs”, but she clearly took the words and idea of the early country stars she knew like Johnny Cash and decided “all this money and power is worthless unless I help people with it.”

Multiple interviews are also done because there’s far too many people in the hiring chain who don’t really need to be there. I’ve had interviews for lower-level managerial positions where literally the vice president or some other person who clearly has better things to do than to be there, is there just to “be involved”, or (in one case) all hiring decisions had to be run through the VP. I’ve done panel interviews with 6 different HR people at once who clearly just need something to justify their existence.
It happens occasionally for retail, especially if they’re hiring you for anything above grunt work. Manager? Even shift lead? You’re likely looking for at least two rounds of interviewing. I had sales positions that wanted me to interview two or three times as well.

Nah, he’s still got a dojo thing going. I’m thinking more Larry from SV if he had a gym.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you sent a lone modern tank like a Abrams, Leopard, or black panther back to WW2 with a continuous supply of spare parts, ammo, fuel etc. Would it make a difference?
2·1 month agoEven something as simple and dumb as “a mine takes out one of the tracks and then you snipe any motherfucker dumb enough to get out and fix it”. Once your tank is immobile, it becomes a pillbox. Your tank can’t now get the fuck out of a situation at 80MPH, so a couple of jackasses with a crowbar and a couple grenades can take your tank out pretty damn easy.
Anti tank warfare has LARGELY not changed since WWII. The tech has gotten better, but the tactics pretty much remain the same.

Now, without the spices, yes, terrible.

Rorschach is basically the Punisher - it’s only luck that he likes to kill and torture “bad people”, and he shows himself that he’s pretty flexible on the definition of “bad”.
