  • I was interviewing for a job as a movie theater manager.

    In my neck of the woods there’s a limited number of movie theaters, and everyone knows everyone else. So I was interviewing for the job when I’m told

    “we heard through the grapevine that after you were fired from your last job you broke into the office and did something unspeakable on the carpet.”

    I still ended up getting the job.


  • Surely this is just using an image as an analogy?

    That’s precisely what it is. It’s exactly what you want in a stock image. It straightforwardly, simply conveys a concept without really leaving much room for interpretation. This is an image that’s intended to be used in some poor IT guys lousy malware powerpoint presentation to a non-IT department, and it’s absolutely appropriate for that context.

    But the smug “hurr-durr, that’s not how binary works” delivers more dopamine.
