  • Tell them you did something unverifiable but technical.

    “I started a game studio with a buddy from college. No, sorry, I don’t have a TIN (tax identification number [IRS])”

    Give them a number to a burner phone and fake an accent.

    “Tom? Yeah we worked together at ___ I felt like he was a great guy to work with.”

    Tell them you were deathly sick.

    “Yeah I had skin cancer. Nothing major but I had to take it easy and after beating it we all went on vacation to celebrate”

    Tell them you lived the software engineer dream life

    “After leaving my last job I wanted a change of pace so I went to become a bartender in Melbourne. It was all under the table”




  • Some mental illnesses are “cool” or “accepted” now. They are socially acceptable to talk about and having one can even give you clout. Depression and ADHD are in this category.

    The rest of the disabilities are still too taboo to talk about. You are better off just keeping it to yourself. Bipolar, schizo-affective, and borderline personality disorder are in this category.

    Today, people will tell you with a straight face that they are a victim because they have one of the popular illnesses. It is “in” to be a victim now but, ironically, it’s only socially acceptable to be a victim of some illnesses. If you have e.g. bipolar disorder it’s so stigmatized that you will face repercussions for announcing it yet people still have the audacity to tell you they are a victim.

    Obama involved us in Syria and supported the Saudis bombing Yemen.

    Clinton got involved in the Balkans.

    Reagan funded rebel groups in South America.

    Carter… Actually idk anything this far back.

    You should listen to Noam Chomsky. He’s very very liberal and has some good criticisms of the US involvement overseas. I don’t agree with everything he says but it’s worth listening to.
