  • To be fair, actually existing would be a bit step up for the ottoman empire right now.

    I will lead the Ottoman Empire, for the good of the people. Under my guidance, Turkey shall see a new golden age. Though I relinquish my carefree ways for the responsibilities of a Sovereign, I do so with the hope that I can restore the glorious Ottoman Empire to the grandeur of the halcyon days of yore.
    DEATH TO THE TYRANT!

  • He has no heirs. Who shall continue the line?
    Actually the Ottoman Dynasty doesn't follow the Agnatic Cognatic Primogeniture law, it follows the Agnatic Seniority law. He has 24 heirs actually, you could probably marry in if you really wanted to.
  • To bring this back a bit, I would argue that my job as hospital security requires me to be a jack of all trades. Not only do I have to have the knowledge that most security jobs require, I have to understand HIPPA law, how certain drugs work, dealing with psychiatric patients, etc.

    To give an example: Earlier we had an overdose brought in and the ER doctor wanted a dose of Narcan injected. Being familiar with this drug, I know there are three possible responses to the drug. Either waking up and responding, waking up and falling back to sleep, or waking up and violently acting out. Knowing this, I can determine how to tailor my response. Another hospital had this happen, and hospital security called the police who came in and used a tazer on the patient.

    One of my earliest goals from childhood was specifically to be "above average at everything."
    This hasn't really been a goal of mine but I suppose it is the way I am. I tend to pick things up really quickly but my short attention span keeps me from being invested in any one thing too long. As a result I get really good really fast and then my skills plateau. For example, if I'm playing a new FPS game I'll completely kick my friend's asses. But after a couple months they are much better than I am simply because I loose interest after 2-3 weeks (or some similarly short span).

    I'm not this way with everything but most things I am.
