Yes, but it would be an effort that does not come down to any strength, machinery, physics or logic, because in his universe the Narrative Force is infintitely stronger than any natural laws.

And the hammer is ruled by a strong narrative: Thor's storyline.

So he would have to create a compellig narrative where he moves the hammer in a way that makes an interesting Thor story.

He can't just move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself, but he could move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself if it could be explained in a cool way and gives Thor a great struggle to overcome, causes tension to test his relationship to Odin, or moves his character arc.

Brian Bilston is a treasure.

As a hiring manager for nearly 4 years straight, dealing with way way more than 100 applicants for some positions, I know it takes minutes at most.

All hiring systems have ways to send batch emails to rejected candidates.

If you don't have a hiring system for some reason, it's still just hitting reply/ctrl-v/send to each applicant you move out of the "possible candidate" inbox.

Giving a reason "why" tends to hit people badly if they didn't specifically ask, so a stock response is not only easy to give, but the best response. Whether and how to respond in more detail to people asking for "why", is a less easy decision but good if you are able to.

You and what army?

I guess he only needed tool assistance for one of those options.

There are a few benign-ish ways this happens, based on my experience from working on "the other side". They reflect shittily on the hiring manager, but not on you:

You got no immediate rejection because they did consider you valid for the position, just not first place. Then they got a match on the first place and stopped giving a shit about the applicant backlog.

They got too many applicants and threw half in the garbage.

Upper management put a freeze, or reduction, on hiring right as they put an ad out.

They have a person already picked for the position, but they will get in legal or corporate or PR trouble if they don't pretend to do a proper hiring process.

Their application process, human or computer, lost your CV.

Step 3: Prepare a bowl of jelly.

Step 3: Prepare a bowl of sourcream.

Step 2: Prepare a bowl of peanut butter. Touch the bowl gently.

No step: Fingers melt painlessly into caramel. Hold them in your hand.

Step 4: Flatten the peanut butter.

Step 6: Unflatten the peanut butter.

Step 1: Take the peanut butter out of the bowl and put it back in.

Step S: Move peanut butter to a small lasagna baking dish. Flatten and divide into 3 parts.

Step 4: Observe the jelly.

Step 8: Prepare a small bowl of caramel sauce.

Step 3: Stir the caramel once with a finger.

Step 1: Observe the jelly.

Step 8: The spoonful of cum is not needed. Gently remove it from the baking area.

Step 4: Check the jelly is still there.

Step 3: Carefully slice the bread, but you will still cut your finger. The future has already happened. You can not change it.

Step 6: Put sourcream on top of the peanut butter and flatten it.

Step 3: Pour the bowl of sourcream and peanut butter into a bowl of sugar.

Ingest excitedly.

Tech guy here.

This is a tech-flavored smokescreen to avoid responsibility for misapplied law enforcement.

If I were a scammer, I'd want to attract marks who are A) greedy, B) gullible and C) think they are smart.

I'd go for Elon's fans yeah.

-long rambling historical lecture

-Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I was thinking of birds for a moment. Many people in Ukraine are surprised and angry to learn they are actually Russia. What would happen if other parts of Russia learn they are actually France? Would they try to join the EU?

Keep in mind that you, along with everyone else, know very little all in all.

The things you do know will be important to you, naturally. Their understanding and their importance will also feel obvious, also naturally.

So anyone not knowing these obvious important things will instinctively feel like an absolute idiot to you.

This is a mental trap. Try to avoid it. The less respect you have for others, the less able you will be to really listen to other standpoints and learn from them, leading to a vicious cycle of alienation.

The same board of directors who put him there are in charge. The same corporate culture that let him push these decisions is still in place. The same critical mass of people in leadership who would care enough to block such crap still don't work there.
