Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

Q. G. Pennyworth

Thank you for guiding my fingers through the maze of google to find this treasure trove of fascinating information.

Quote41-year-old Weihua is Guangxi, so far single, undergraduate and graduate students are learning The wildlife protection professional.

Bad translation aside, I love that they felt the need to announce his relationship status.

D&D joke, sorry. From reddit.

If jerking off with a numb hand is called "the stranger",
then jerking off with Mage Hand should be called "the familiar"

So, due to me mentioning this on my work appraisal, the boss man himself emailed me to assure my that while my assistance on security and health & safety issues was appreciated, it certainly was not needed and to, politely, buzz off.

Unfortunately for him, this week someone installed a padlock on the emergency fire exit to this building, and neglected to tell any of the students the code, or put up any signs to that effect.  Unfortunately for my manager and the operations manager, who is nominally in charge of health and safety, both of them were copied into that email and were present on site since the lock was installed, and have not seemed to have any issue with the possibility of 200 students burning to death for no good reason.

So I just sent a friendly email...

...to the hse?

Seriously, fuck these people.

Sent to the principal in the first instance, to prove the point that he has morons in charge of things, while spurning my offer of help.

But the HSE is a good next step.  I'm sure they'd also be interested to learn that there has been no fire evacuation drill done in the past 2 years I have worked here.

Junkenstein

Actually, fuck the hse. Just been called about a decision that should have been a serious prohibition notice (failed explosion) and it's been classed as no fault. I know the firm and I'm damn sure there's a lot of fucking faults.

Oh for a UK institution that isn't corrupt and incompetent. I'm stunned. I can't even start to cover how much of a major fuckup this one was.

Same conversation informs me that a previous employer has been shot and killed.

Horrible bastard deserved it but still... it's interesting times round here.

ETA police appeal for info due to an wealth of suspects. This one ain't getting solved.

Well, failed explosions aren't that important.  ISIS undertake failed explosions all the time and no-one ever drags them in front of the HSE.

Junkenstein

Credit where it's due, Isis bring enough explosives to get the job done. Cutting costs and misused resources for profit isn't their m.o.

Yeah, it's nice to know at least one other person is thinking along similar lines as me.  I was writing my article for the law firm people this morning, about what happened in Kabul and quite frankly it's shocking.  They hit a military hospital, next to the US embassy, in central Kabul.  And ISIS in Afghanistan is nothing like ISIS in Syria and Iraq.  They barely control territory, everybody hates them...yet they were able to pull this off?
