- mathisfun123 7mo agoi'm not defending anyone's speech - i'm saying just because other people are assholes doesn't mean i should become one.
- ImPostingOnHN 7mo agoExpressing qualms about hiring somebody who has voluntarily demonstrated a lack of ethics isn't 'being an asshole'. In fact, it's usually a good business decision and always an ethically-sound one. Here's a sample question, feel free to use: "If somebody offered you money to build the brains for fully-autonomous killbots PLUS mass domestic surveillance of the civilian population, would you accept the offer?" "Yes" => They are unethical => No-hire. "No" => They did do that, and thus are a liar, and thus are unethical => No-hire.
