If Dick Cheney told you he thought wearing a seatbelt was a good idea, you'd argue against him because clearly an idea is bad if a bad person has it.

Evaluate an argument on its merits, regardless of who endorses it.

Why? Can't you just play music and sway back and forth during the interview?

Let's be fair to ol' Gymnasium, he didn't molest anyone, he stood by and let the team doctor do to many students over years and did nothing about it.

That's almost worse in my mind, since he was protecting an asshole who was abusing kids and enabling that behavior.

Capitalism, an oligarchy that controls major players, and legislation to keep public players out of the game in a lot of places. Even aside from the fact that private companies are able to prevent municipalities from making their own networks, Congress passed taxes to build out a fiber network and let the ISPs do fuck all, to the point that we had been taxed to the tune of $400 BILLION dollars A FUCKING DECADE AGO.

It constantly amazes me the shit our government lets corporations get away with.

Just be honest with the recruiter that the particular employer is the issue, but you would be open to discussing other opportunities. That doesn't burn bridges, and it helps them better determine what you're looking for.

What is there to lose anyway?

The votes of stupid people who think that if a monster endorses your candidate against a Kaiju, clearly the monster and your candidate have the same views.

For the human that wants everything to smell like cat piss.

Oh man, the republicans are going to be so mad to hear that an immigrant conspired with a candidate to manipulate the media to hide information and influence the election.

That's like all he things they're upset about, so surely they'll be upset any minute now.

Surely.

Any minute now.

That's almost as bad as spending time upgrading a script only to find out you already updated it and forgot you gave it a stupid name.

Thank the gods for content searching vs file name searching. Only way I can find stuff some day.
