I need a polite way to ask someone if they're brain damaged.

That's not impolite. It's very caring. Just do it.

"Do you reckon javascript would be a good fit for this?"

@retoor it's HR I need to ask. I'm not sure they'll see it as caring.

Maybe try to speak their language. "Has a risk assessment been done for the disclosed risk of my death?"

They're telling me I should have asked them to do a risk assessment. After I told them about risks that could result in my death. I don't have any other explanation than brain damage.

Not sure you need to ask, they are HR, that's proof in itself

Super unnecessary since to be brain damaged you need a brain in the first place, and we’ve yet to see an HR person meet that requirement lol

@atheist I see that pattern a lot. you tell them information and then they ask you for that information in reply

maybe it's a form of gaslighting. "I understand the subject, I don't like the content. make the content something else"

@jestdotty jesus that's so accurate.

I'd generally use a: "Are you fucking retarded you fucking retard?"

Works every time

@sidthepajfuk they don't have any suggestions for "are you brain damaged" 😑

@sidthepajfuk no, I genuinely think they have brain damage. "What the fuck?" also has no suggestions.

I love to use the Sokrates approach on people like that so they can find the damage themselves 🤘🏼

"are you jestdotty, by any chance?"

@tosensei the myth! the legend!

@netikras wow, literally every user up voted your comment. Did not know that such up vote amount was still possible :P You should tell your wife about this. Sick achievement.

@retoor I've had a few rants recently reach the heady highs of 16 upvotes! Go back a year and it was 27! I remember the days of 100++ rants...

@sidthepajfuk my mum don't like asians.

She told me it's about their tiny dick

Just look up the phrase "are you like a crazy person?" and you will see a very British and polite example from a splendid movie.
