JOB INTERVIEW:
"TELL ME ABOUT A CONFLICT WITH A COWORKER."
MOST CANDIDATES SAY:
"WE HAD DIFFERENT WORKING STYLES, BUT WE SAT DOWN, TALKED IT THROUGH, AND FOUND COMMON GROUND. IT MADE US STRONGER AS A TEAM."
THE WINNING ANSWER:
@WAAGH_MASTER@luckey_twitt Legally outside the court room is not his jurisdiction. He should have had the bailiffs who have this jurisdiction take care of the situation outside the courtroom. Second he handled the woman. This is a job of an enforcer not judge.
@RanKayKit15@WallStreetApes Mixing apples and oranges. Education system is trash in this country with few exceptions however the H1B situation is all about companies allowed to import talent at at a lower cost most of the times with out benefits. Their talent is irrelevant being train them on the job.
@ItzBlondiebitch@ywomendeservles Other possibles, your son can end up being the mother’s height.
If this is not the case, your daughter can end up being your father’s height. (Happening a lot now lately)
Another possible, grandson can take after his short grand mother.
@ingoramas@JohnMcCloy Whatever the “official” story is.
“They” have professionals that are paid good money to create whatever scene you decide. Sometimes they let the professional be creative.
If you had trusted the settled science of the day, here is how it would have gone.
1890s: you dose the baby with Bayer's new cough syrup, the non-addictive alternative to morphine, marketed for children. It was heroin. They named it after the German for heroic.
1900s: you rub calomel teething powder on your infant's gums. It is a mercury compound, and it leaves a generation with pink disease. Swollen, peeling hands and feet, screaming for months, and some of them died.
1910s: you cook in Crisco, launched by a soap and candle company, because cottonseed oil is modern and lard is what your mother used. The process that made it solid produced trans fat, banned outright a century later.
1920s: you drink Radithor, certified radioactive water, on prescription. Eben Byers took fourteen hundred bottles for his vitality. His jaw was removed in pieces and he was buried in a lead coffin.
1930s: a chemist dissolves a new sulfa drug in diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze. It kills 107 people, mostly children, and only then does America give the FDA power to demand safety testing.
1940s: your doctor lights a Camel in the surgery. More doctors smoke them than any other brand, and the advert runs in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which sold him the page.
1950s: DDT is sprayed over your kitchen, your garden and your children at school. The man who found its insecticidal properties has already been given a Nobel Prize.
1960s: your wife takes thalidomide for morning sickness because it is remarkably safe. More than ten thousand children are born with missing and shortened limbs.
1970s: the country puts down the butter and picks up the margarine, on the instruction of the American Heart Association. The fat everybody switched to was banned in 2015 as unsafe at any level.
1980s: the fat comes out of everything and sugar goes back in to make it edible. Obesity begins a climb it has never come off.
1990s: your father is prescribed OxyContin, because fewer than one per cent get addicted. The company later pleads guilty to criminal misbranding, and the overdose count runs into hundreds of thousands.
2000s: you take Vioxx for your knee. It is pulled in 2004, and the FDA's own safety officer estimates tens of thousands of excess heart attacks.
Not one of those was fringe. Every one had a professional body, a literature and a man in a white coat standing behind it.
Nobody who followed that advice was stupid. They were obedient, to the most qualified people available.
Settled is a word about money. It means the questions stopped being funded, so they stopped being asked.
So which of today's instructions will your grandchildren read out in disbelief.
The oil washed in hexane and built into every cell you own. The statin that blocks the pathway making your hormones, to prevent one heart attack per hundred people. The injection where a third of the loss is muscle. The infant formula built out of vegetable oil.
All settled. None of it funded to be otherwise.
This one is heartbreaking.
He spent 25 YEARS at Adobe.
Senior Software Quality Engineer.
More than 15 years of quality engineering experience.
Laid off in August 2025.
Then he spent more than a year looking for another job in tech.
Applications filtered out.
Recruiters ghosted him.
Interviews that never happened.
Eventually, he gave up.
His next career?
Driving a school bus.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with driving a school bus. It’s important, honest work.
But something is deeply broken when an American with 25 years at one of the world’s premier software companies can’t find another job in tech while we’re simultaneously told America has such a shortage of tech talent that employers need hundreds of thousands of foreign-worker positions.
This is what gets lost in the H-1B debate.
These aren’t statistics.
They’re people.
Before we search the world for another tech worker, shouldn’t Americans like him at least get a fair shot?
As a man, adulting is realizing;
1. You will die, and most people won’t care after a while.
2. People use you until you’re no longer useful.
3. Most people secretly want you to fail.
4. One day you’ll wish you started today.
5. Most people fake happiness while dying inside.
6. No one is coming to save you.
7. You’ll be judged no matter what you do.
8. Your health is your greatest wealth.
9. Happiness is temporary—discipline is permanent.
10. Success takes longer than you think.
11. No one respects weakness, even if they sympathize.
12. Complaining changes nothing.
13. Not everyone you love will love you back.
14. Money won’t solve all your problems—but it solves most.
15. Social media lies to you every day.
16. You’re replaceable at your job.
17. Life is unfair—get used to it.
18. One day, you’ll run out of days.
19. Regret hurts more than failure.
20. Nobody cares about your excuses. Work harder
The earlier you understand this, the better and easier your life gets.
Sorry what? Actually Yes. Men like taking control in the bedroom and women naturally like giving it up. It’s been this way since the beginning of time. She sees him as an alpha who works and provides and signs her pay check. He sees her help mate who nurtures and supports his family. Naturally, something can build between them. She is trusted enough to take care of his children. She gets off fulfilling a role his wife is neglecting.
