Each year there are a (a is a number) positions for new workers. All candidates are sorted based on their CVs (total number of candidates is at least one order of magnitude larger than a, so there are at least 10*a applicants). After that they are invited for the interview based on the position in the CV ranking.
Candidates are evaluated based on these two factors - CV and interview. But wait, there is more ...
There is another property describing each candidate, which takes value of either Zero or One. Because in recent years the Zero-to-One ratio was about 15%, the governing body demanded this ratio to be increased. In order to do that, following modification was introduced to the recruitement process:
Only top ~2.5*a One-type candidates were considered and invited for the interview. After this cut-off line, only Zero-type candidates were taken into account.
This method caused the Zero-to-One ratio to increase by 5%. Worth mentioning is the fact that last accepted candidate (of the Zero-type) was ranked at the position about 18*a.
Two remarks:
1) It is extremly easy to identify workers who were accepted due to this trick, as their performace is significantly worse.
2) In order to encourage Zero-type candidates, wages of some One-type candidates were cut and transferred to Zero-types.

I have no idea what this zero or one trait is, but I'm really curious now. All this pseudo math has peaked my interests.

I'm sure it's difficult for her too. But I doubt that her issues are causing her such distress for her and her family. There's a difference between having support to pursue what you want to do and just not being able to decide, and having to listen to your own fucking mother tell you how she's embarrassed by you because you haven't accomplished anything and can't make a decision.

You mean the math is somewhat understandable? Because one-zero trait is just sex.

The standard tuning for a guitar is throwing me off while I'm learning the instrument. EADGBE sounds nicer but that interval keeps tripping me up when I'm playing on the upper three strings.

In other news, HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO HAVE A DROP-F VIOLIN? All you literally have to do is take the G-string, and instead of tuning it to G, you tune it to F. That is it. Everything is moved up a step because you are playing a step lower. I don't understand why this is a hard concept for some people. I will give you the exact fucking fingerings if you want. I will double and triple check the harmonies to make sure that yes, it's exactly according to plan, and if it sounds off it must be in your head. Hell I'll even play the part for you just to show that it's not only possible, it's not even that hard. Why am I paying for your services if you can't do this simple task for me. If I wasn't chronically understaffed I'd drop you out of the project right then and there if you couldn't understand after a whole day of explanation how drop-F tuning works.

What's with people spelling the word "definitely" as "defiantly". How fucking retarded are these people?

Vuzieya is a sore person. Whenever he loses he gets really stubborn and makes a ton of static defense on one base. That's fine and everything but it's his followup remarks that irk me. He always tries to make the opponent look bad by complaining they're taking way too long to kill him already even though there isn't much point to making the game longer or shorter if you have already lost the game either way. He starts to get dark and shallow with his emotions and becomes apathetic staying in the game just to deal with his soreness acting like his opponent has now become a tryhard or is a bad player because he can't close out the game fast enough than he could have.

"Wow, 20 minute long game, nice" after staying on one base for most of it. "It took you four bases to kill my one base"? It's some sort of victory knowing just how long you held on as if the game was all of a sudden a UMS defense map when really you're prolonging the suffering you have to endure all because of your ego.

That's ladder heaven right there, take the whole map, mine every mineral and every vespene, search for every upgrade and every tech, never attack him, watch him rage. Finally go attack him with something ridiculous (like 200 workers), and then remax into something else that's still ridiculous and crush him. Am I missing something? :D

Some people dude. Dude. Bro. Man. Listen bros. And hoes. Why is it so dang hard for someone to apologize? I apologize. I just am like "Oops, I was wrong because I'm a human being and am prone to erroneous judgement from time to time, and I'd like to amend that shit." and then they're like "S'all good." and we do a secret handshake.

Also, while we're venting here, why did they change the TL look? It's just slightly brighter colors, but it burns my retinas. A COMPUTER IS NOT A PIECE OF PAPER, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE ALL WHITE, JESUS. I consider this to be the obligatory social-media-thing traffic-drop make-over which is mandatory by internet law. When your website loses views, you must spend a bunch of money and resources to add bells and whistles, or change your site's look. It doesn't bring sexy back, but it makes sexy appear as though it is back.

So there is this girl, we met about three years ago. I asked her out, we had a couple of dates and an affair that lastet 6 months.
Couple of months after that, we became best friends and hung out together at least once every weekend and sometimes even during the week for one year. We celebrated our birthdays together and so on...
Six or eight weeks ago she moved from her old flat to her new one within the same city, I offered her my help but she refused, I asked her if she wants to join me on a local festival, but she declined. Two or three weeks passed and I asked her again if she was interested in hanging out together but she had no time due to her job.

Yesterday I went to a club and called a friend of mine whether he would also be there later on, he said:
"Hey, dude we're at B's (the girl) place having a party, why aren't you there?"
Guess what, because I wasn't fucking invited?! Seriously, this makes me angry and sad at the same time! We've been best friends for almost two years now but apparently I'm not good enough anymore.
