Don't think Ong has too much to worry about. You can't get discriminated against in a job hire if you never apply for a job.

Dunno, but don't really see that as a sackable offense. Bad taste, definitely. Insensitive, yes. But zomfg horrible, insta-sack? Not really. | |

It's pretty bad if image is an important thing for a business. If you're a hedge fund manager, then maybe you don't give a shit what your subordinates say in public, but any brand that relies on some sales or support, like football, nah. Don't get me wrong, if I owned a football club and my manager said this, I wouldn't want to sack him, but I'd have to seriously consider the impact his comments would have on the image of the club. It's probably gross misconduct. | |

Sure. But it's not like he's condoning rape by saying that. So while I certainly think it's a dumb thing to say given how sensitive everyone is these days and how quick the snowflake patrol is ready to jump on anything remotely offensive, I don't find it that bad myself. | |

I mean yeah it's not bad in that I've said and laughed at much worse. But I wouldn't last five minutes in a high profile job like this. It's hard to apply my standard of what's acceptable to this kind of job. | |

This is big. Uber (and by implication, other vendors of its ilk) will have to treat their employees as proper employees having proper rights, as opposed to the casual labour they're treated as now. | |

What started the Uber court case was that one of their drivers was assaulted by a passenger and seriously hurt. He asked Uber to cooperate with the police by sending them the address of the passenger. Uber basically told him 'not our problem, gfy' and that's when he took them to court. | |

My housemate is a taxi driver. He would rather claim unemployment benefits than work for Uber. He currently works for a local taxi firm that pays him a salary, so if he's sat on the rank doing nothing, he gets paid, and if he's busy all day, he gets paid the same amount and the firm make more money. That's how he wants to work... a reliable and predictable income with holiday pay, sick pay and set hours. | |

The companies like Uber were basically saying "you work for us, but you don't have the rights of someone who legally works for us". If my employer ever took this attitude I would want protection too. | |

Man I'm good. I've been pandemic pimpin and eating a whole lot of chicken in the car this past year. Watched a lot of live streams of the riots this summer and that kind of thing. Last season ended with the stuff going down in Washington DC, so I'm waiting for the new season to kick off when the Republican party splits and all hell breaks loose. It's about to go down. | |

For at least a year, I think longer, there's a user by the name of "casinobonus" who often lurks logged in. He's online right now. If you click his profile, he has zero posts, and his current activity always says he's creating a new post in the blogs forum. | |

It could be a bot that's scraping (copy/pasting) bonus codes or something that logs in through a page for creating a post to get around some kind of filter potentially. That's the only thought I have there. | |

I'm a huge believer in eugenics. I think that people who would get in an argument with a fast food worker for not giving them a straw instead of just asking for one, let alone assaulting the motherfucker, should be on that list of people we just go ahead and take out of the gene pool. | |

I just won a game of bulldog chess I've been playing for nearly a year against a very good player to become the World Champion at this variant. That title is obviously grandiose, there are under 100 people who play this variant so it's not like it actually means anything relevant, but I'm still delighted. It's not like I'll become World Champion at anything else in my life. | |

The witch is a really great piece. It make friendly adjacent pieces "transparent", so you can attack the enemy through your own pieces while still enjoying the protection those pieces offer. It moves like a knight+queen, so highly mobile. It doesn't capture though so it's not very useful in endgame, other than to block pawns or waste a tempo, which in some endgames (like K+R vs K+W) will result in a draw rather than loss. | |

In other news, there was an accident outside my house this morning. Some guy managed to overturn his van while taking out a section of our hedge, the compost heap, and the pear tree. My friend, the homeowner, not happy at all. At least he missed the chickens. He had to be freed from his van, apparently he's ok but I suspect he's in a lot of trouble based on what was allegedly found in his van. I can't go into detail there because he has a right to a fair trial and this is a public forum but let's just say my eyes needed to be put back into my head. | |

He wasn't talking shit, though. He told a story, and chose which facts to relay directly in relation to the story and which to relay tangentially to the story. He didn't leave any facts out, like you claim. He merely separated his factual observations from his speculation. That's kinda the opposite of talking shit. | |

I asked for more details and didn't accept his explanation for why he couldn't describe what he saw in a stranger's van on a public forum that has four members. That's what I was referring to as "talking shit." | |

I assume some of your banter with oskar goes back to times I can't remember. I mean, I do remember my first year or two and we didn't get on at all. You're pretty easy to argue with, and annoyingly rational in the process. | |

I know one thing that's behind why oskar gets so triggered by me, but I don't want to embarrass the guy for no reason, so I don't really care to bring it up. | |

It's like this. If I don't bring it up, he's probably going to be in here screeching that I should bring it up. If I do bring it up, he's going to be in here screeching that I made it up, photoshopped screenshots, conversations and pictures or whatever else. | |
