I'm kinda concerned that you're treating people without valid certification, or that you haven't gotten allergy testing yet to figure that out. But that's nothing next to getting chased by a lion. Like what.

stock options are a contract to buy or sell a stock at a certain price at a specific date regardless of what that stock's price actually is at the time of the contract's completion. you can either sell the contract itself or execute the contract to buy stocks at a bargain and make money from the differential

basically i bought a contract to sell the stock at a price wayyyy off from what it actually was that had a deadline like a day after I bought it and the price of the contract went down to 0 almsot immediately lol--and I didn't actually own any of the stocks so since I couldn't sell the contract I couldn't sell the stocks at a bargain either lol

I mean I can take the test I just don't want to pay 300 dollars because my hospital is supposed to cover it but they refuse, I'm also only a medical assistant so the most treatment I've done is like doing a blood sugar test. Most of my work is administer/paperwork. I scheduled to renew it in September so I don't go to jail.

Speaking of getting chased by a lion that reminds me of the time that I was walking home and got jumped by like 6 middle schoolers when I was like 11ish in Jordan. Mfs genuinely ran after me for like 100 meters or some shit they didn't leave me till I got to the mosque that's like 2 blocks away

I don't remember it 100%, but they had this like big stage in the middle of the street and I was going to the bakery to get some bread so I walked in front of it and they were like yelling slurs and shit but I didn't mind because I've heard worse. On my way back I take the same route and they got passed for some reason and started throwing shit and chasing.

Pronounced it like Sal (as in salad) and mon (as in Pokemon)

My parents spoke with a pretty heavy Viet accent and that's how they pronounced it so I just assumed that was how it was pronounced.

Forcibly recruited childs for these Guerrilla groups was pretty common 10/12 years ago. I would love to say it's kinda of a movie plot but whenever you grow up surrounded by it i would say, it's not uncommon and it's not even close as an experience as you see on a movie.

Yikes. I've gotten injuries like that where you don't feel as much pain as you should; iirc that usually means your nerves got damaged and couldn't send the signal to your brain that you were in pain. Glad you were okay, though

  1. I lost my virginity at school because we were curious and we got suspended because we accidentally broke a gym equipment and when they tried to find the culprit they saw us on the cctv entering the storage room. Either way, she ended up moving school because her father doesn't want me anywhere near her. I still remember how her father look at me when we were called in by the principal.

  2. During highschool, I have a field trip in Melbourne and there is this camping site in Wilson promontory next to a lake and near the sea. While everyone was glamping in a big tent or RV. My school give us a bunch of small tents. Since the store is closed, I was hungry and tried cooking some Indomie with a portable stove. But they told me that I can't cook outside due to the high chance of causing bushfire. So I cook inside the tent and the Temperature inside was a whooping 56°C ( we did this during the summer when the temp was 43°C ). Idk how but my sleeping bag got caught on fire and I ended up burning the sole of my feet trying to extinguish the fire. That day I ended up sleeping with a burned feet and no sleeping bag while the temp went down to 16°C. So I was freezing and burned at the same time.

  2. During highschool, I have a field trip in Melbourne and there is this camping site in Wilson promontory next to a lake and near the sea. While everyone was glamping in a big tent or RV. My school give us a bunch of small tents. Since the store is closed, I was hungry and tried cooking some Indomie with a portable stove. But they told me that I can't cook outside due to the high chance of causing bushfire. So I cook inside the tent and the Temperature inside was a whooping 56°C ( we did this during the summer when the temp was 43°C ). Idk how but my sleeping bag got caught on fire and I ended up burning the sole of my feet trying to extinguish the fire. That day I ended up sleeping with a burned feet and no sleeping bag while the temp went down to 16°C. So I was freezing and burned at the same time.

  3. I tried kangaroo meat in front of a kangaroo. Apparently some enclosure sells kangaroo's jerky.

Goddamn 💀

What mobile rythm game do you play, I played Cytus. Shit sucked as hell for phone users tho, I made a switch to Ipad once and shit was amazing XD

Main three (with some resemblance of a rating system) were:

Arcaea: I peaked 12.55 potential which had a two-star ranking, the highest rank before they added a three-star ranking (In Valorant terms imagine if I peaked Radiant in EP 4 before they added the Ascendant rank and I hovered around Immortal 2-3 ever since)

Bandori: Didn't have a skill rating system but they had events where you played to earn as many points as possible. One of those events I got rank 27. I'm able to FC pretty much all but 2 songs.

osu! (on PC): I peaked rank 7670 last year farming overinflated long maps and won two tournaments where I did nothing lol

Also yeah rhythm games flat out suck on phones, literally every pro player I met was either on an iPad or saving up for one

And on my end, I really also envy people that stick around in one area for a while lol. Never lived in one place more than 4-5 years (average 2-ish years each). But, now that I'm working and I like my job (even though I'm scrolling vlr to pass time) I'm hoping to stick around my new city for at least 5 years!

As for the PC, installing Windows is literally the last thing I need to do.

not artificial bone, I got surgical steel in my face now. they had to put me under and pretty much open up my mouth and saw out a bunch of bone and extend my jaw with steel and add hinges if I remember correctly. was a super horrible healing experience and procedure to go through, but it saved me from a lot of health issues later in my life (and potentially more surgeries)

not artificial bone, I got surgical steel in my face now. they had to put me under and pretty much open up my mouth and saw out a bunch of bone and extend my jaw with steel and add hinges if I remember correctly. was a super horrible healing experience and procedure to go through, but it saved me from a lot of health issues later in my life (and potentially more surgeries)

Oh, that sounds excruciating. Hopefully everything's fine now

What is a strategy consultancy firm? What do they do?

Strategy consultancy firms get hired by other firms to help shape/direct their strategy. Think of us as hired brains.

Let’s say a company wants to acquire another company, how does it do so in the right way? They want to expand their operations to another country e.g. currently only active in Europe and want to enter the US market, how can they do this? They are losing money and need to figure out how to turn this around and make a profit again, how do they do it?

Typically, these are scenarios that a company goes through only once every few years, so it often makes no sense to appoint someone fulltime to think about these things. A strategy consultancy firm will go through the same scenarios with many different firms constantly, and therefore have a better understanding of what works and doesn’t work for similar companies.

We tend to work with the C-suite or upper management of a company to help them achieve their goals.

As a senior manager, my role is to maintain client relationships, help shape deals with the clients, assemble our teams so that we have the right skills to tackle the problem at hand and make sure the project achieves its goals and is of a high quality that justifies the price tag.

Makes sense?

It depends on the country and “tier” you work for.

The top 3 strategy consultancy firms known as MBB (McKinsey, Bain & Company, BCG) tend to accept almost exclusively MBA students from the top business schools in the world.

Then you’ve got other firms including the big 4 (Accenture, PwC, EY, Deloitte, Capgemini, etc) that will tend to accept degrees in business (usually MBA not necessary), but that can vary depending on which “branch” of consultancy you’re in, you could be a techy and go into technology consulting, or even technology strategy consulting for example.

And then there’s a whole range of boutique and smaller firms of which I’ve got no clue what you need to get in.

To your question on technology/computer: in this day and age, almost every single consultancy project has at least some element of technology involved, so knowing tech is always a big plus.

For analysis etc, I’m not going to lie, I tend to simply boot all my needs to one of our teams in India or Eastern Europe and let them deal with it for me, it’s cheaper for the client to let them do this rather than someone based in the West anyway
