Well, that’s because they literally turned religious persecution into a religious fetish (as in, the anthropological term “fetish”, definition 1).

It’s ingrained in Christianity so deeply that the official doctrine of the catholic church is that only those that die from religious persecution can intercede with God.

Legionnaire’s, Lead and a legal amount of raw sewage.

I just posted some more over here.

Fair. I, too, prefer wall-eyed, but these were prepared by NASA. You could edit the image to swap the two and make them Wall-eyed, though!

You’re doing “wall eyed” viewing. These are for “cross-eyed” viewing. “Wall-eyed” means your eyes are focusing at a point behind the image. You need to cross your eyes for these. Try putting your finger in between your screen and your eyes, varying the distance until the dots merge. Then, remove your finger, focusing on the image itself. That should allow for cross-eyed viewing.

Now that you’ve figured it out, behold: Stereograms!

The above satellite images from NASA allow you to SEE the topography in 3D.

Right, and they need to know what the process is, because the ACTUAL interview is at the BEGINNING, without the machine, like I SAID at the BEGINNING. That is the part that they need to focus on.

Christ, it’s like the only reason you’re responding is as some kind of “gotcha”. You can either provide useful information about the process, which is what actually matters to this person, or you can just keep acting like a dick.

Did you actually read my comment? Again, I am not saying that it works, but that it doesn’t MATTER whether it works, because they are going to do the polygraph anyway, and this person needs to know the actual procedure, not useless navel-gazing about how, surprising nobody, the US government uses ridiculous tests, spends obscene amounts of time and money, and all of it amounts to a fucking vibe check.

YES, it’s WORTHLESS, but that isn’t going stop the fucking fascist across the table from you from judging you by it, and arguing over it is PRECISELY as worthless as the test itself.

OP needs to state to their interviewer that they’re a strict constitutionalist, and take the oath so maybe they can do something good, or at least prevent something bad. That’s it.

Okay, literally none of these are the ACTUAL answer to the question, and if you’re in the US in a position to take a polygraph, I want you to succeed. These people saying that it doesn’t work DO NOT MATTER, even if I happen to agree, because you’re going to be taking it either way. So, as someone who has actually TAKEN a polygraph with the CIA for a TS Clearance (12 years ago), allow me to tell you the actual answer from my experience:

Before the polygraph is hooked up, you will spend as much time as you need going through every question you will be asked. You have the opportunity to bring up concerns with question ambiguity then. They will work with you to make sure that you feel comfortable answering any question they ask with a straight “yes” or “no”. I don’t remember what the specific wording was when they asked me that question, and it would technically be illegal for me to tell you anyway. I hope that this is more helpful to you than “hurr-durr, it doesn’t work”.

Thanks for the obviously disingenuous comment. Always good to have another name for the block list.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security.

Oh, that was you? Good call, though I’d prefer to simultaneously splinch into a thousand fragments, each simultaneously teleporting into the carotids of each person with a warrant from the Hague, as well as the next 500 most-wealthy people, followed by the boards of any fossil fuel companies I can fit into the thousand. I don’t think it was specified that it was single-location or in-one-piece teleportation.
