"White males need not to apply".
I am not kidding, true story.

On your application you should have told them that you identify as a black female. In some places it is probably illegal to contradict that sort of claim. :palm:
Bud:
Would you think i'd want to work for such employer >:D

--- Quote from: jpanhalt on January 22, 2022, 08:05:28 pm ---In the US, it's called retirement by incarceration. It's better than starving to death, and affords one the best medical care anyone could want. That is, you can demand and get the best specialists at Mayo Clinic or claim cruel and inhuman punishment.

For those who don't know, this is either a joke, or an insane level of misinformation, as this couldn't be further from the truth, with the possible exception of inmates of the luxury prisons for the richest of white-collar criminals.
Inmates at normal prisons, including federal, get basic medical care, if they're lucky.
(And no, the phrase "retirement by incarceration" is not a thing. Try googling it in quotes. The only other result is from jpanhalt himself, on a different electronics forum.)

I give up. This site has the worst system for deleting and restoring I have seen! Posting images can be a nightmare. I hit a wrong key and my whole response was deleted. Apparently no recovery. I will not waste time on repeating it. Suffice it to be said that my attorney and I coined that term during a period of levity. I had no idea it was so unique. If you want to know the rest, read about why vaccinations cannot be mandated on prisoners and why prisoners on death row get transplants ahead of those who are not in prison. Our Federal prisons are better than some resorts.

If you'd led with "my attorney and I coined the term 'retirement by incarceration' during a period of levity" perhaps Tooki wouldn't have taken exception. Phrasing it as "in the US" implies much, much, more than 'an in joke with my attorney'. You are rather pushing yourself into "unreliable witness" territory by doing that.
jpanhalt:
Sorry. Perhaps Tooki would be wisely advised not to rely on Google for American culture.
