a tech industry interview is someone asking why manhole covers are round and not square then saying "but they have square manhole covers" then finding a picture of a square manhole cover on a phone internet browser.

actually the mind puzzles were found by google to not accurately predict success and ditched years ago. my interview was pretty straightforward, asking me to describe projects i'd done in the past, how i'd apply those skills to the position, etc.

the only people using those types of questions are lovely companies that are trying to do what they think selective ones are doing

for example, an ibm interviewer asked me what my favorite animal is then got visibly disturbed when i replied "bill murray"

It comes from the absurd testimony of a crony Republican who was urging asinine regulations on the Internet for reasons that demonstrated that he had no concept of what he was talking about :

Nah, provacateurs say things for attention without necessarily believing those things just to stir the pot and cause dissent.

Milo though genuinely believes his own bullshit because he's a broken person.

I'm confused about what Milo is hoping to gain here. He can't really think he has a case, right? Is this just a desperate attempt to worm his way back into the spotlight even if it means publicly humiliating himsel-

Wait, never mind, it's clearly that.

maybe. i think its because he is vain bigoted rear end in a top hat who is also a moron.

he is just a edgy shithead who thinks he is more clever then he actually is. all he does is "flower" his language up and add edgy bigotry.

OneEightHundred posted:

He'd been openly antagonistic to "gamers" before, and the Gators were perfectly aware of that fact.

thats what i find funny. his letters with bannon make it clear he doesn't give a poo poo about the various dumb causes they cared about and was just looking for fodder. the fact that morons think he still cares is sad.


OneEightHundred posted:

Key thing is that he's an entertainer, that's it. One of the things he did that made him the darling of gators was write an exposé in Breitbart that was basically a straightforward regurgitation of an Encyclopedia Dramatica page. Almost all of his arguments are regurgitated talking points from someone smarter than him (i.e. the anti-feminism stuff is from Christina Hoff Sommers). In any Q&A with him, if it veers outside of those talking points, he just makes poo poo up. I don't think anyone ever cared, they just want to see "the left" get "triggered."

Really, I'm just wondering what Simon & Schuster were even expecting, like most of these notes are basically asking Milo to not do what he's always been doing, except for the "stop talking about us" notes.

I'm a bit surprised that nobody else has filled the shoes of Outrageous Crypto-Fascist 4chan Man, but I guess it's the kind of thing where there's a very particular audience that will buy that sort of thing and everyone else treats it like radioactive waste.

yep. i assume they thought he would be a Coulter type. here stuff is standard/hard right bullshit with some incendiary thrown in but she can at least sorta write. like you said. its just copy pasted poo poo with ED level humor and lovely politics with no facts at all. its just ramblings and disjointed as gently caress.

That set of questions reads like someone's idea of what a game industry/tech job interview is like without having ever been through one.

So, some of us are actually quite good with avoiding spoilers, thank you very much. :colbert:

he had to read most of my post to get to the OMG spoiler part. If he cared about spoilers he could have stopped reading the obvious star wars post. It was all pretty general stuff

Ultimately the OMG spoiler crowd are imo ridiculous. These are movies not national secrets. Dont read stuff about movies if you dont want spoilers.

Tagging things with "warning spoilers" is stupid. Assume there are spoilers and stay away

an interesting aspect of living on a Native American reservation is how open and forceful they are with "gently caress the white man don't trust them" sentiment

if you're black and express that you get marginalized as a radical or straight up shot/lynched/murdered

NAs have some degree of sovereignty and their own tribal police forces so there's somewhat less institutional pressure to be nice to whitey

That's because White America already murdered the gently caress out of most of them and are letting crippling depression and lack of economic opportunities finish off the rest.

sounds about right. he doesnt give a poo poo how many die, he just wants to look tough and because of that he is stretching out military out even further, especially now that isis has kinda dispersed out and franchised itself and that afganistan is unwinnable.



why? like why did they ban it? i know racism, but this seems kinda blatant and dumb even for them.

There's really not much more to it than that, unfortunately. Arizona is soon to be minority white (along with New Mexico which already is) and that is alarming to a lot of white people who live there. While this law was remarkably stupid it wasn't nearly as bad as all the SB1070 nonsense. Lots of open carry militia type people from all over the country started moving in after that one.
