Wasn't the ex reality TV star who became president and put a news reader in charge of the military and anti-vaxxer in charge of healthcare, just talking about and glorifying meritocracies the other day? I thought these people were so against DEI because they care that much about having the right person for the job?

Everything out of their mouth is either a straight-up lie or earnestly deranged.

I would be stunned if it WASN'T someone wildly unqualified. The only thing that matters is if you can sufficiently lick a boot.

i feel like there's a point to selecting specifically anti-qualified people though, sorta like how scammers will send messages that are obviously nonsense in order to only get replies from gullible people.

I want to lead NASA! I've seen a ton of rocket and space ship movies!

I've seen all those plus I've played a lot of kerbal space program.

Can you be my second officer and focus on Alien life forms?

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Second? How much KSP have your played?

Galaga, that's where the best space travel knowledge comes from.

Ooh, I’m sorry but in this administration that probably means you’re over qualified.
