Do you want to become a specialist or a generalist? You can dive into one or two of these topics and specialize the rest of your life into it. By the way: a specialist in any of these topics would probably not know any of the fancy buzzwords you've listed in your resume. As a matter of fact, I think you'd have more career opportunities instead.

Keep in mind that the older generation had a "few layers" to explore and could easily understand each slice until the bare metal. These days, it is much more broad and in-depth.

So you want to specialize in something, or become a generalist?

Could be, but I can imagine people giving up on GTA: Online altogether because it takes too much time to load.

I'm pretty sure that Rockstar North would have some tests in place. The creators of the reverse engineered project, simply couldn't access these tests as they wouldn't be included in the build. (At least, I'd imagine). Also: It may be interesting to note that GTA:V's leaked build logs featured some notes about an "auto play bot test failed at {mission}". I'm pretty sure they would have to have similar tests (although perhaps at a smaller scale) for older GTA's as well.

I'd rather pay a (small) fee and get some support than deal with this nonsense. Come on Google...

> The US's decision to not get involved against Assad (they're there for ISIS I remind you)

So is Iran? Mind you: the weapons these rebels aka ISIS had were mostly/directly provided by the US and its allies! No official from Syria asked the US to be there! Imagine if Iran would deploy troops tomorrow in Washington to endorse groups to tackle the existing government. The real danger is supporting regimes that endorse Salafist/Wahabist Islam, which the West likes to do. This hypocrisy of the West is fascinating. I think that could have somehow played a role in Brexit...

> Iran's involvement in Syria directly led to Brexit

It's appalling how you (even partially(?)) blame Iran for Brexit. The US decided to support Syrian rebels (of whom mostly turned out to become or move to ISIS). Syria is a secular state, whether you like to believe this or not. The Russians and Iranians were legitimately asked by its officials to help support the Syrian army to tackle the terrorists. Yet, the US and its allies financed/armed so called rebels that made a disaster of the country. Remember McCain's visits and photographs back in 2011? Why is the US even STILL there?! I can not think of a single country in the ME that turned out to become better after the US started meddling in its elections/government - ironically, including the one which you are currently blaming.

Blame the incompetence of Brexit on the people who advocated for it and who like to ignore/dismiss facts.

Is this a joke? Trump revoked Obama's rule on reporting drone strike death.
