  1. Re:What if Uber wins? on Uber Loses Legal Test Case Over Language (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    So, if Uber wins the appeal you have to hire people you cannot communicate with or you'll get sued for discrimination?

    This is about Transport For London.

    I'm surprised there hasn't been a widespread media campaign already, calling employers racist because they require language proficiency.

    You're really easily surprised.

    They seem similar, but they are VERY different legally. Don't confuse the terms. Thanks!

    You're talking about legal definitions and you don't know what country the person you're replying to is in.

    "Thanks" indeed.

    If the FBI- or really anyone- had dirt on Trump, it would have come out.

    This shit takes time to come out. Enjoy your 'wild ride'.

    The last one said "write a short essay about Mars." Not very relevant to diving a taxi.

    This test is run by Transport For London. It's not just for taxi drivers.

    It's a test of literacy. Do you find it surprising that they don't discuss only transportation? lol.

    So maybe you can stop repeating this false idea that speaking English slower and louder is just Americans being stupid.

    The joke is that speaking louder would help when the listener knows not a single word of the language. Do you understand Korean when spoken slowly and loud?

    Bullshit. BBC is an intelligence propaganda outlet, like the rest of the mainstream media. The only confusion was the timing of the scripted news piece stating that WTC7 had collapsed.

    We are being had by these phonies. Don't make excuses for them. They know exactly what they are doing. BBC is not your friend.

    LOL. The competence you imbue your dastardly enemies with is truly staggering.

    I mean you really ought to give up.

    I stick mostly to CNN & BBC - but it is typically factually accurate.

    Yes, the BBC can be very accurate, especially when they announced the collapse of WTC building 7 even before it had happened yet.

    Thanks for putting your other comments into context. I used to be a truther. Then I grew the fuck up.

    Yet now the Trump administration are being undermined by the left every chance they get by the Democrats who are butt hurt over losing control of government under Obama and losing the election to Trump. They would rather see WW3 then let Trump and the Republicans improve America in a positive manner simply because they underestimated the determination of the "deplorables" and the apathy of the liberal left.

    lol. You have to be a straight up idiot to think that. I guess you get a free pass if you're 12 or something.

    Notice how every time Snopes is wrong - and it's quite fucking often - it's in a direction that is biased left.

    Snopes have credibility. You don't have credibility.

    I don't think that anything that you 'notice' counts as relevant to the rest of us. You notice what you want to notice.

    The search with most hits day after EU refendum in UK was 'what is the EU'. I think at the very least, we should discourage people from voting if they really have no idea what they're doing. That just adds noise to the whole setup.

    In my experience, moving a PS/2 device between ports just meant it stopped working. I don't think I ever saw it cause a crash, nor did I ever see it working after being moved. That's just my recollection though. I'm not dumb enough to regard that as historical fact.
