I enjoy it, but not nearly as much as helluva boss. It was too much like children's programming, where the solution/chekhov's gun/learning-through-song experience didn't feel like it naturally flowed.

spoilerExamples: Ep.1 of helluva, where moxie debates shooting a family, then the show ends with him shooting the chica after being surprised, chased, captured, and had torture intimated before finally getting his demon dick out and acting like one, didn't feel overly contrived. Ep. whatever of hazbin, where maggie has a sing-dance-fight with the angel weapon wrapped feet and suddenly becomes all able to fight, it just felt cheesy.

The interviewers know this, and will fail you after reminding you multiple times that the only answers you can give is yes or no. The mental breakdown has to stay inside your head to be effective. ;)

Go take some classes on stress management and biofeedback and learn to control all those things they are testing for

The only real measure that they can read is your breathing rate. Everything else is so variable naturally that it's just noise.

There's a pad that you sit on that will register the flexing of muscles in the area.

Because they get people to admit to things they wouldn't otherwise. A polygraph test starts with the interviewer "just talking" (and those are massive, giant quotation marks there) to you for about a half hour. They slip in little statements about other, experienced officers who are currently employed despite past wrongdoings, "because they admitted" to the bad shit. Meanwhile, when you admit to bad shit, guess who's not getting hired?

The interviewer will give you a giant list to go through, asking if you've done any of the hundreds of bad things, and ask you to explain any "yes" answers you give to the question of committing a crime.

So now you're primed to confess to things, and the interviewer and agency gets to comb through those confessions to see if they don't want to hire you. They also get to reject you if they don't like you and blame it on you failing the 'lie detector' test, or the interviewer can simply say you're lying.

Go read the book called, and I may be remembering this incorrectly, 'Beat the polygraph.' It goes into the history, the failures, and the 'science' of polygraphs. It's enough to get you pretty deep in the subject without reading actual research papers.

I wish people would remember that the real crux was lincoln's assassination. Everything since has been downhill, for america at least. Can you imagine if the traitors had actually been hanged? No jim crow laws? No fucking bullshit...

This actually happened to me with Jade from Beyond Good & Evil

Mine was loona from helluva boss. I wondered what the fuck this wolf thing that kept cropping up in random places was, then found the show and thought it was brilliant.

I think there's an entire generation of us that thinks tubgirl, goatse (I remember reading the guy's story, or at least someone pretending to be that guy and writing the story), beheadings, and hatchet vs. genitals are completely normal experiences. Who didn't watch all those, right?

I would bet that a great many heads of 'large companies' would be targeted in the first purge. There's no way that there isn't some disgruntled employee or even an ex-employee that wouldn't be willing to take a swing at the big guy before poverty comes in for the kill.
