Yes, you can back out of a tentative and final offer if you want. Even if you accept the TO and go through the onboarding process you can decline the final offer if you get an offer for VSR. Just keep in mind, once you start on day 1 as a 5, you are locked into time in grade, unless the new job is open to the public.

What exactly do you mean be locked in time for a grade? That sounds bad

Well, congrats. Thats awesome...So about 3 weeks? Not too bad. I agree working remote is my dream situation. I am just praying for this TJO to happen. Do you know which office you will be working?

I applied in Philly, but I think everything including the training is all work from home. I also applied for VSR, but they have to go in once a week.

Yes everything is remote. I applied for VSR as well and yes one day onsite.

I just noticed I got like 6 attachments of paperwork to fill out, to verify if I have veterans as family members and if I have been a federal employee before. I'm not sure if they usually send that packet for a regular TO or not.

I actually would 100% have thought it was just him because there is so much made up nonsense, but then how could the other people there have kept a brave face?

Its soooo bad, usually you have to be able to play guitar at least ok, to play it THAT bad..lol

Yup I totally agree, I hate this so much. At 18 I moved abroad, I wasn't living with my parents, I was paying my own bills, working full time, and I was certainly not a child. I started dating my husband at 19, he was 44 and I was called “a literal child” by so many people. And even now from time to time someone says something like “don't you feel like a child next to your husband?” and I just don't get it. I'm 36, mum of 3, damn I do not feel like a child

Ya....I will go out on a limb and say you are the exception to the rule, but as a 47 year old anyone under 22/23 looks like a child to me and I can't imagine a scenario where I would not be incredibly skeptical of a man at 44 who did this. You proved everyone wrong for staying together so good for you guys!, but as you approach your husband's age when he met you; don't you ever have moments where you question his attraction and judgement to have acted on that at 44. I was 43 and my fiancee was 26, when we met and I felt like I was meeting a fully formed adult who could be my equal partner . Thier is no way on the planet you had the ability to be a fully formed adult or be his equal partner; you were right out of high school and barely lived an inch of real life yet. I don't think your example is a good example for an AGR, because it would rightfully upset any sane or logical person because what he is doing was actually weird and creepy and just shy of being a crime. Thier s giant difference between dating someone in their mid-twenties and going after a teenager when you are 44. I'm happy this all worked out for you and you guys were the exception to the rule, but I don't think opposing a 44 year old man going after teenagers sexually, in general is a bad thing or judgemental. I think that it's just plain common sense that we should discourage and socially shun the men who behave like this.

Yes to all this. I lost a longtime friend because of his nasty opinions on me (F 39 in Apr) dating a guy (25 in Apr). He cited that "brain not fully developed" bs and called me a groomer. :(

I think adults get to make their own choices, but your brain does not fully mature until around 25 to 27 and people under that age often don't have full access to the long term consequences to their decions. If you are the significantly older person and you don't take that into account and make sure you aren't just getting what you want; from a person who cannot possibly fully grasp yet; that you will die and leave them hanging 20 years before a partner thier age. Then you are a creepy asshole. I saw this both as a widower and a person who is in a 17 year AGP. The older person has tremendous opportunity to take advantage of someone half their age; a good 25% of the population are total assholes, so I'm sure a lot of people get hurt and traumatized by older partners. That's probably why a lot of people make sweeping judgements about this.

As the guy winning them over; I really had to be willing to "dance" for them; make multiple trips a year out to see them; which is tough because they live 12 hours away and we have 3 dogs. I had to prove to them that I wasn't going to be an obstacle in the life they had imagined for their daughter. I'm not religious, but I'm getting married in a church an our future kids are going to a Catholic School. I had to show her entire family that I was extremely flexible and was going to honor the things that were important to them. I think as the older guy in a AGP you have to be willing to compromise a lot more to be accepted by the family.

Yeah and as the girl, you need to make an effort not to win the parents over, but to get past society. :(

Oh man that totally rings true; My fiancee had a lot of mild to moderate pushback from friends and family...basically everyone. Her mom once said "That we are going to have a very hard life." I do really care what they think, but I also have a sidecar of "I don't give a fuck what they think" to keep myself sane.

I couldn’t resist. All the love in the world to the lovely couple! My dark humour misses quite often.

My fiancee and openly talk about how she is very likely to have a second husband in the distant future. I think being realistic about this stuff helps.

You guys look so happy!! My fiancee and I were the same age as you guys when we met:)

Why does anyone add stuff to coffee? Coffee's awesome!...I put cream and sugar in my coffee.

I need more consistency from someone who spouts off so often. He gives so many passionate speeches about things and then turns around does the opposite 5 minutes later.

I think the difference has to do with intent, trying to stop COVID spread versus trying to prevent transmission of the common cold. Anything less than an N-95 won’t stop COVID over long periods but even something as basic as a surgical mask can reduce transmission during short interactions.

Jack isn't talking about short interactions; when did he say short interactions. I think you are being too generous with him; plus surgical masks are basicly useless when it comes to stopping viruses and almost completely useless when used against bacteria. Jack is becoming safety obsessed, he is practically foaming at the mouth to to trade his freedom for the safety of himself and his children. His personal life is a mess; he lives in California which is now a hellscape. The reason he gets sick all the time is because 50% of his daily calories comes from sugar and processed carbs. It's his fault he is unhealthy, but he wants everyone else to wear a mask to protect him. His life and diet are a mess; that is why he is always getting sick. This isn't how conservatives or libertarians think at all. Jack is the only person who can make Jack healthier and he won't do it; so he wants other people to wear masks to protect him from his own poor decisions? I haven't been sick in a year and I'm a bartender; who is constantly two feet from someone's face; because I take care of myself. Jack has been sick like 10 times this year and has done nothing to improve his health. Even getting cancer years ago didn't make Jack take his health more seriously. The guy lives off of restaurant food and sugary carbs and wonders why he is sick and miserable all the time. I don't blame Jack for his divorce, but he has become a different person since it happened and I don't respect "new Jack" like I did ole simple Jack.

I agree in principle, but now is probably a good time to invest in gold and mining stocks.

But the My Cultura Podcast people just got their new studio set up! I am dying to know how that played out for them.

Did they ever settle that corn vs flour tortilla debate???

Yes, the corn kid stepped in eventually and regulated.

Hahaha🤣

Just overt anti-ccp stuff. Like hating them is fine or whatever it’s just that it feels preachy and silly. That’s why I say propaganda. I just don’t like it when someone is super leading with their statements even if I agree with it

Propaganda is a word that has meaning and you are purposefully misusing it....I think you may be a member of the .50 cent army...I'm smelling a Tankie...lol if you dont like his tone, then that is a real thing, but you don't get to redefine words because you feel like it. C-milk is truthful and accurate; so far the only one using propaganda here is you..lol Unless you can prove him wrong stop making up lies about him.

You have barely any karma and you accuse me of being a bot? I’m not even upset. Yeah it’s a weird that has meaning. Unfortunately more than one meaning past your myopia

Well you sound like a Tankie and you are using hyperbole to inflate your point, because you don't really have one. I'm sorry you are embarrassed you don't know what words mean, or how to form sentences that make sense. Propaganda isnt a criticism of how one delivers the material....Information doesnt become propaganda because its said with a different tone. Propaganda means

Someone needs to make something with C-milk and Globey from Pee-wees playhouse:)

Has anyone else besides me been where they are talking about, it's like a different planet. I love near Philly now and we have a place that looks scarier called Kensington, but I have never been somewhere more dangerous than Hunters Point

I also googled others reviews. I simply cannot believe this garbage was nominated nevermind received awards. Wtf?! I was bullied, sadly you never forget, but you pray everyone else has forgotten.

Oh man...I was bullied too, then I formed a metal band, got really good at a bunch of stuff; landed a bunch of girls out of my league and barely ever thought about it; why have you chosen to dwell on it so much?

Seriously. This must be the most Boomer film I've ever seen. It's not at all about the victim, just the bullies' feelings. It's so incredibly unethical. The victim is bullied again by the film. Just disgraceful.

Isnt referring to someone as a boomer, something they can't help a form of bullying. Why cant he just be an asshole? Thier are plenty of young assholes; Who make everything about themselves. How does discrimination against people based on their age fit into your enlightened morality? If you arent treating everyone as an individual; then you are part of the problem.

So you think you are allowed to kill someone just because you think they are robbing you?

Yes, you should be able to kill someone for robbing you. Play violent games will violent prizes!!!

You can say it’s self defense, I would definitely agree with that point but your original comment implies you are ok with severe physical harm to a shop lifter. I think that is a bit much, that’s all.

I think shoplifters should be beaten and smashed. If you are stealing from someone you are stealing thier time from them, forcing them to work for free to cover the costs of stealing. We should put every physically aggressive shoplifter in the hospital . If you are a stealing teenager who gives up, then you shouldn't be hurt, but if you are stealing and try to fight or run...you need to get shashed!!!

I hate the repeated topics, it really feels like I'm listening to the same thing again!!! They didnt used to do it so fucking clunky...I never remember that from the old days

Fuck Will Smith!!!!

Dude, it's alopecia. She isn't dying. He overreacted.

It's not alopecia she ruined her hair with braids, lots of black ladies I their 50's are bald from getting braids

He said he was a "vessel of love" and talked about God throughout. His actions dont encapsulate all of that.

God wants you to have an open relationship and hit everyone who makes you made..lol

I wish redit would just let you fix typos...can you guys be muture about the fact I meant "Race Swapping" not ssaping..lol

Ya...I hate missing any of it!!

I live in Pennsylvania, that's where C-milk and Serpentza live, we are in the same Time Zone...lol

You should not be using your child for emotional comfort like that! That is damaging and selfish; my Mother did that to me and it really fucked me up. You are the parent, you comfort the child. How is she supposed to feel safe when she had a emotionally out of control mother. This is not how you deal with having BDP. Traumatizing other to make yourself feel better is off limits!

They’re out there. It’s one of those “there are two types of people…” things.

My girlfriend likes foreplay but most times she just wants me to climb on top of her like as soon as she is naked

My god dude, I’m watching people play winter sports not commit genocide. Fucking relax

To be fair you are watching both...both winter sports and a country that is committing genocide.

Ok....show me the video of other skaters doing that intentionally to trip other skaters, if that happens so much, show me other examples at the Olympics.
