Should I ask applicants about what scifi books they've read?
  • I think this is too specific, as you mentioned. Why not broaden it to "a piece of literature they were not required to read"? You could talk about anything from wikipedia articles, to current news headlines or sci-fi books this way, and it shows where their curiosity lies.

  • Trump says he has directed Treasury to stop minting new pennies, citing cost
  • Oh, interesting, you're correct. I didn't realize 'intent to fraud' was one of the requirements for it to be a felony. I saw one of the machines that uses the metal slugs and assumed they were all switching over because of that.

  • Trump reveals executive order requiring Pam Bondi to prosecute ‘anti-Christian bias'
  • It's because their religion claims that whoever has the worst life on Earth will have the best life in Heaven, so they're constantly seeking out ways to reaffirm that they have it "so hard".

    They associate the negativity of others towards them with godliness.

  • Or that doesn't try to kill you
  • I think it should depend on the company at the time of the purchase, but that the company is still responsible for their branding.

    Although, I also think the real answer is that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and any outrage is being misplaced onto a company instead of the system that caused it.

  • Technically, the 1st IR kiss was between Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz (1951), then Shatner and France Nuyen (1958), with Shatner and Nichelle Nicols another 4 down the road
  • Maybe it's that the first interracial kiss on TV between Uhura and Kirk was only "allowed" to air because William Shatner purposefully went cross-eyed directly at the camera when filming the 'alternate takes'. He knew that if there was a viable alternative, then the studio would use it.

    He simply made sure there wasn't one.

  • Trans inclusive hater
  • I love both Page and Inception, but I agree, his most memorable moment was his kiss with JGL. I remember seeing it in theaters and thinking, "Why does this feel queer?"

    When he came out, it finally clicked. Crush confirmed.

  • Not only in the US, it is a universal fiction
  • Capitalism requires indefinite growth.

    We have a word for something that grows indefinitely. It's called "cancer", and it eventually kills whichever organism it's a part of by stealing nutrients designed for other parts of the system. The only way for an organism with cancer to survive is if the cancer is killed off before the organism dies.

    That's where we're at. Capitalism might have gotten us this far, but the same can be said about any person with cancer. What worked for us in the past isn't guaranteed to work for us in the future, and could actively be what's killing us.

    We have to adapt.

  • Not only in the US, it is a universal fiction
  • Psst. You're not being down voted for not being blatantly anti-capitalist. You're being downvoted (by me) for not adding anything substantive to the conversation.

    "100%" as a comment is equivalent to an upvote, so maybe just do that instead next time.

  • Select a tip
  • So, in the article, the tip amounts were 20%, 30%, 50%, and 100%. They also used capital letters correctly.

    I'm not trying to say that a 100% tip isn't crazy, but this photo seems suspicious without any branding, incorrect capitalization and a total of exactly $95.00. Hell, I can't even be sure that this is an actual point of sale machine, it looks like it could just be a monitor.
