    I really don’t see any way in which you’ve at all challenged me. Implying I’m stupid isn’t really a challenge so much as projecting how weak your argument is that you have to stoop to ad hominem. Which is funny because I actually agree with your main point, but it’s far, far from the only factor, nor does the blame lie where you’re trying to place it.

    They never used to get the time of day because they had to buy up all traditional and social media while also eroding education and at the same time our democracy to a point where they had a good twenty year track record of manipulating vote tallies (fucking challenge me on this I dare you)

    This literally what not voting for the lesser of two evils got us. Letting what you refer to as the greatest evil run the country is cutting off your nose to spite your face, and the lesser evil still gets blamed. Damn, that’s some effective evil.






  • I can’t speak to how they are now now, as this was about ten years ago, and I don’t want to be too specific as they are extremely litigious lol, but…
    I applied for a jr position, something I was not overly qualified for but could have easily done at the time with some training. I am now a Sr in that position, so the capacity was there. Anyway, round one interviews are fine, nothing stands out there, but like I said it was ten years ago, at least. Then for the next interview I had a call with the director of the department I was applying for. He was short with me from the start, and I remember being incredibly taken back by his attitude before we’d even gotten into the interview. I have extreme social anxiety and am admittedly terrible in job interviews, so being thrown off right at the beginning of the call didn’t help things. Then there seemed to be a misunderstanding on his part about which level of job I was applying for. He clearly thought I was underqualified either way. He asked me what I now can confirm were insanely technical and architecturally specific questions and then when he’d finally managed to trip me up on an answer he completely unloaded on me. For several minutes he berated me for wasting his and Nintendo’s time and then told me I was being blacklisted and to never apply for a position anywhere at Nintendo ever again. Which, no problem. Even though I understand he was just a jackass, I’m still recovering from it to be honest. But extrapolating how he must run his department and what that must mean for the culture over there, I have not been surprised by the downfall of Nintendo in the least. Shit is as shit does, my friend.
