What does that mean? I don’t understand the reference about SQL.

Myers-Briggs

Myers-Briggs manages to go way beyond in the levels of bullshit compared to even these other items.

My favorite story about corporations using these kinds of tests is when some engineer I knew was interviewing at a few different major engineering firms. One of their HR people told him after one of of several interviews that the next time would also involve a personality test! He knew he had at least 2 other roles in the bag, he was just finishing up this company. He asked her - “are they also going to read my tea leaves?” - and declined to proceed further with that company. Because the notion that HR were gatekeeping for…checks notes…engineering positions at an engineering firm by using such debunked horseshit was something that instilled zero confidence in how the rest of the place might be getting run, and I absolutely don’t blame him. I never had that as part of anyone’s hiring “process” - it was always something introduced later as part of some “team-building exercise”.

My favorite direct experience was when another co-worker who was awake and fine with asking pointed questions asked one of the people administering some “personality test” if she knew if they had done any tests where they gave the “results” to the wrong person, and see how they reacted (he was basically asking if they tested for the Barnum effect). Answer: no. (Of course)

Anyway, I suggest reading The Cult of Personality Testing: How Personality Tests Are Leading Us to Miseducate Our Children, Mismanage Our Companies, and Misunderstand Ourselves

I suggest linking to Nitter instead. Easy way to get a link is to add “cancel” after X (and before .com).

Just add “cancel” after x for a Nitter link.

When is the biography coming out?

Also, when is that HBO documentary on fElon coming out?

you should’ve done literally even a single thing to prevent liberals from alienating people by mimicking conservative policy. You lost for a reason, you can learn from it or you can continue to be a smug cunt and get even fewer votes in 2028 (assuming there are elections by then)

Oh boy, here we go. The people that seem to have learned no lessons at all in recent months are the people that keep tearing down the Democratic Party and the liberals.

What’s so fucked about this is that while someone like me sees this, I am horrified about the consequences to the kids who will be affected by this who had no role, but ALSO the people that foolishly voted Republican and how they will be harmed, even if it was self-inflicted.

I am pretty sure that feeling is not always mutual. Even as a qon is being damaged by stuff like this, I think not a few would take delight in knowing that liberals (and POC. And uppity women. And LGBTQ. And immigrants) might be hurt, too.

It’d be one thing if it was confined to one generation, but it’s not. I saw the “Greatest Generation” saying the same kinds of things to boomers and Gen X.

During Covid, I saw lots of people online in their teens and up to Gen X, at least, saying that they should not be restricted in travel or having to wear a mask or to get vaccinated, because THEY were healthy, eating right, getting sunshine, not overweight, had no preconditions, and most importantly, weren’t OLD, so fuck everyone else.

So the selfishness is coming from all directions…every generation has people wired for extreme selfishness at the expense of everyone else, including people in their own generation.

Redcaps learning what probably so many liberals around them tried to tell them would fucking happen, but they wrote off, and voted for Bronzo the Clown anyway…

I fully expect most of these jackasses to go into hiding.

That, and we have that stupid Electoral College. Oh, and lots and lots of fuckery from the Republican apparatchiks when it comes to running our elections.

There is no such thing as “Trumpism”. We are talking about Republicanism.

This is who and what they are. Bronzo the Clown is the latest face of it, and yeah, the mask slipped. But don’t let the rest of them off the hook.

A better approach would be to give them safe harbor.

If they feel they will be forever cast adrift, who do you think they’ll vote for next time?

Whole lotta magats were rubbing one out over pictures of Putin shirtless way back under Obama, because something something “Obama in mom jeans”. They love worshipping what they feel are “powerful” men.

I bet many of them will be JUST FINE with that connection even if proven true and even if they accept the evidence, because they believe that Russia is some white xtian ethnostate that they view as a paradise for cishet white xtian right-wing men.

Oh no, I was told by the Tone Police, the far right, the “liberal media”, online leftists, and by podcasters like The Useful Idiots that talking about the Bronzo the Clown-Russian connection was VERY BAD, MMMKAY?

“Yeah, but what if add in quantum computing?” -redcap politico, probably

Can they be charged and imprisoned while they await trial?

Isn’t this the Republican/redcap platform since at least the 1960s, really?

Lee Atwater:

Y’all don’t quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, “n–, n–, n–”. By 1968, you can’t say “n–”—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut this”, is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N–, n–”. So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner.

I wonder how long this pollster will stay employed.
