What idiot applies for a job at Google?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Someone who wants to have Google on their CV when they leave in 2 years. Generally works out.

The kind that has bills to pay dumbass

no need for immature name-calling

How is idiot not immature name calling, but dumbass is?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because it was not directed at a specific person.

So if he phrased it as "The kind of person who would ask a question like this is a dumbass" not be immature name calling? Becuase that'd successfully not cross this weird line in the sand you've drawn

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it would just be a subjective opinion at that point.

And it's not my line in the sand, but the actual definition:

Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.

Someone who wouldnt realise that that definition applies to both insults isnt the greatest at reading comprehension
