One of the questions posed to the committee was, "Which candidate would you feel most comfortable working with for 40+ hours a week?" Let that question sink in.
Yeah, that question is not just bad, it's going to cause you legal problems if any applicant who was turned down finds out. Interview questions and processes are supposed to be designed to eliminate bias, but that question is literally designed to allow bias to influence the hiring decision, and will be a major exhibit in a discrimination case. Your employer's HR department is run by a spectacular fuckup.

I think your point is a valid example of a more general trend, i.e. people tend to favor those who are more socially approved.
Yeah, there's a reason for that.
The reasons for the social approval are nearly irrelevant
No they fucking are not.
Catholics will tend to approve of different people than Unitarians
Yes, they approve of people who protect child rapists. See? Not irrelevant.

I prefer the majority of canned or virtual male voices I hear on the phone to the majority of female ones today. I think this is because they care about what women think about them these days and don't care what men think, because we are less likely to complain to them about the voices. They used to choose soft female voices, now they are choosing harder ones. I am not looking for confrontation from phone operators, so this doesn't seem positive to me. I'm seeking service, not an argument.

This is stupid racist dickhead bullshit because ICE has detained at least 500 citizens so far, and every person who was "deported" to a country they didn't come from was trafficked by ICE. Fuck your support for racism in pursuit of your support of a child rapist traitor. It also makes you a traitor.

Hamas has repeatedly declared its intent to exterminate all the Jews. That's genocide.
Netanyahu is currently doing what every expert says is a genocide in Gaza. Hamas was founded in response to a massacre in a mosque done by a Jewish "settler" assault-colonialist.
Hamas, who just a couple of years ago, attacked Israel to rape and slaughter thousands of people. After decades of the same.
What is the death toll on each side?
Why are Jews protesting for the right to rape Palestinian hostages?
