Also these first impression moments are good because you can predict how they would treat you if you worked there. I walked away super annoyed and didn’t care that I didn’t get called back in. I was way overqualified for the position but was also desperate for one since I had just moved back to the country and needed to sponsor my spouse for residency.

Based on the context and my own personal experience as a person who has interviewed hundreds as a hiring manager --not syaing I do this, just that I understand-- they said “HEY FRANK WE NEED YOU TO SIT IN THIS INTERVIEW IN 30 MINUTES. K THANKS” and Frank showed up and tried to pretend that he knew what was going on.

- Comment on Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China? 3 months ago:
I am surprised that you had to point that out, if I am honest. I’d have expected people who have reasoned opinions on China to understand that basic part of Chinese (or possibly Asian-at-large) culture.

The US suffers deeply from cultural narcissism where a significant number of people believe that their needs are more important than the needs of others.

- Comment on Why do people from Western societies always seem to complain? 3 months ago:
It is my experience that people who have little tend to appreciate what they do have while those who have more complain about not having even more. It doesn’t matter what “IT” is, the monkey part of our brain always wants even more of it. When that doesn’t happen, the tendency is to focus on others as being the cause of not getting what they perceive to be deserved, hence complaining.
