  • Sounds to me like the failure wasn't yours, but the interviewer's; you came prepared for questions relevant to the role, and they went all out-of-pocket on you.

    Like if you show up for a tech job and they start going "paint me a word picture… tell me about your personal philosophy…"

    Like you said, if they just googled some BS to ask you, or followed the corp-approved "starting questions", that's their fault.

    Maybe you could reach out to them (or HR?)and go "hey, I was surprised by some of the interview questions, but I really do think I'm a strong match - can we get together and come to an understanding on the relevance of those questions?"

    My favorite souvenir

    Found this in a tourist trap in Temple Bar, brought it home to give away but when I realized what a cute demitasse(?) it makes for small drinks, I had to keep it!

  • I remember reading at the start of Covid in the US, when the government was saying “masks are dumb”, but local churches were going “masks save lives”, the churches were surprised at how much pushback they were getting.

    Turns out raising someone from a young age to believe without questioning, and look up to one person as their only source of truth, and ignore compelling scientific evidence, is pretty hard conditioning to break.

  • I think you have a valid point that echo chambers are bad, and that we should all strive to find good sources and not just rely one one side of the story.

    But -

    I think we have. Lots of people understand that idea, and lots of people have kept open channels to ideas outside what they believe. And I can only speak for myself, but MY “other side” time observing and participating in conservative forums online, talking with people in my very-red state, and watching Fox News, has done nothing to convince me that i need to hear one god-damn word from either of those two lying, conniving jack-asses.

    One dude’s opinion. Your mileage may vary. Please consult your doctor before starting any kind of exercise program. Thanks for your time.

    Happy weekend, my fellow Risa degenerates!
