The Updated Job Interview

[gordo]

 

[Possumgal]

Do you have a staffer who's qualified to ask pertinent questions?

 

[Ulrich]

are you sure, you are talking about equally qualified candidates?

 

[PricelineNegotiator]

Will the debate be fact-checked in real time? This is important for me, as my wife's 6 year old son will be watching.

 

[gordo]

are you sure, you are talking about equally qualified candidates?

Absolutely. Their families and friends said that they are the best candidate. And since they are both the best they are equal.

 

[Ulrich]

That is true of course...
If you ask them in the interview for their favourite color and the one said red and the other blue, then both are colors too. Then you have to make a choice by looking at their friends and families?

 

[gordo]

My guess is that the facts don’t really matter to about half of the actual voters.

My understanding is that half the voters have the facts and the other half has the alternative facts.

 

[Digi_Wiz]

My understanding is that half the voters have the facts and the other half has the alternative facts.

Which is which though?

 

[gordo]

Which is which though?

Does it matter?

 

[chriscozi]

According to the AAAS.
Even if they are alternative facts (falsehoods.)

 

[Ulrich]

Does it matter?

For the second time today i am remembered to Francis Ford Coppolas „Apocalypse Now“:

Colonel Kurtz: „That is a dialectical approach!!“

The first time was a german newspaper, there in is to read that there were no helicopter flight in the American film history was set in scene in an equally dramatically way since that movie yesterday...

 

[Possumgal]

These days, facts are whichever ones get the most likes on Facebork.

 

[Helene]

My guess is that the facts don’t really matter to about half of the actual voters.

ehhh... more like 40%, plus or minus a couple.
