Today at my interview: since it's a retail job requiring maths skills, they gave us a test to see how good we are. Do you think it was a good idea to say "Pfft, who needs a calculator?" when offered, before answering all the questions using just my brain and beating the person interviewed before me who was using a calculator (they had a good twenty minute headstart, and I can assure you I double checked that all my answers were correct)?

You rekt them, so I think yes.

It'd impress ME, but then there's a strong streak of anti-intellectualism on the rise in much of western culture. Somebody might decide they don't like you because they don't like brainy show-offs.
A better plan at interviews, I find, is to work out what they've visualised as being the ideal candidate, then to pretend to be that person as hard as you can.
Finding a job seems quite hard these days. What's going on?
I still have several years before I have to worry about this but still, it seems that qualified candidates still cannot get jobs.
Because it means anyone, really, ANYONE :P can run for political office and get elected. That equals political freedom.
What can I say: Donald Trump and Kanye West for President = ultimate political freedom xD xD
Welcome to 10000 Islands! :D
Howdy From the Sim State!!!
Tell me about it. I'm the perfect example of that :P
Perhaps it's just because I don't know enough influential people personally that I can bribe *ahem* I mean persuade to get me a job :P
The crime is probably because my police force is in the bottom 10% for quality. I'm attempting to educate crime away so there aren't even prisons in my nation. Basically everyone has guns though, so burglary is the most dangerous career one can hold in the utopia of Brandeis. Combine this with the plentiful job opportunities and improving education and nobody has a good excuse to go into crime. The lazy jerks.
The trees in my front yard are literally covered with gypsy moth caterpillars.
I'm so done with the outdoors.
I am not sure what to vote for in the General Assembly - cyber attacks are annoying, but wouldn't this make you able to intrude on people's security?

Yeah, but we need to protect people online.
Just be yourself.
I reply to votes (and issues) "in character" for my nation, so this was a pretty easy one for me: cyber-attacks and cyber-warfare are pretty much our nation's primary defence advantage and primary means of aggression, so clearly we're opposed to any resolution that might enhance the security of potential future enemies.
You don't have to play NS "in character" of course, but I find its a much more satisfying experience that way. IRL, my politics bear almost no resemblance to those of Candlewhisper Archive. Its cathartic and fun to play the Archive in a certain way, with a certain moral code and set of principles that is different to what I hold in real life.
In love and friendship, sure.
In job interviews? Be who they want you to be.
Nicely done, pal! If they hire the other guy over you now, they don't deserve to be in business, but bankrupt instead. Good luck! ;)
Sending all my prayers to you so that hopefully you will have a speedy recovery. Stay strong, my friend!
I'd say it does not depend so much on the employer's anti-intellectualism, but rather on what they need. If they need someone creative and able to think on their feet, dealing with unexpected obstacles, you probably scored some points ("this guy can get the stuff done without the tools"). If they just want someone who will do things by the book and ensure that the numbers on the invoices will always be right, they might take you as a bit too cocky ("why did this guy just make it harder for himself?").
Anyway, trying to guess what's in your recruiter's head is usually pointless, so don't ponder on this for too long.
I voted for getting rid of cyberbulling. I also placed a proposal in the WA security council: page=UN_proposal/council=2

Darn, was so close :D . Still, great effort by Polish team - we never had such a good squad in my lifetime, I hope they'll achieve much, much more. Congratulations to Portugal and good luck - seems like they gonna need it :D .

It was an amazing game! Now, I'm counting on England! Oh, wait...
Thank you

Hang in there, buddy!
Oh Noes, I just noticed we have an embassy at The Rejected Realms. xD
It's still OK to have it condemned, right? Sorry, I'm new to this game, but I ain't new to politics. :P
You're condemning The Rejected Realms for existing,
