As far as I can tell Sharia explicitly demands casual violence. I'd rather wear the slutty dress and keep some semblance of equality and rationality about our law thanks.
My BMW drives better in snow with the Automatic Stability Control off and the traction control on. Less sliding.
Getting up an icy hill though, I did once have to turn traction control off. Probably knocked a couple of years off the life of the transmission that day.
Probably because: - satanists are not jews - jews do not torture their babies, they just mutilate them - members of other religions also mutilate their babies - lots of americans of any religion mutilate their male-born
Maybe your post was downmodded (rather than deleted) because you were talking total fucking nonsense?
£16/month, includes 2500 minutes and unlimited texts, unlimited calls to landlines, unlimited calls to other Virgin Mobile customers.
If I go over something like 3.5GB/month they'll restrict speed to standard 3G speeds for the rest of the month - but no additional charges, and I still retain data access.
What makes you - and everyone else replying to me - think I'm currently excessively fat?
I can't dance if I weigh too much, it puts too much strain on the knees.
I am heavier than I'd prefer to be, but I'm also not currently obese - by BMI, or by other measures. I am technically overweight.
Your 'solid HOUR of cardio FIVE days a week' goes against the strong recommendations of a lot of medical studies. It just isn't necessary to stay fit and healthy.
Before I changed job I was walking 4km 4-5 days a week and that definitely helped, but my dancing is already way above average exercise, even if I do have to take a break every 3-4 songs. Hell, I need to cool down or I sweat all over my partner and she doesn't appreciate that.
The other problem they often have is they want instant results. It didn't take you six months to pack on that 250 pound lard jacket, it's going to take some time to work it back off. Don't give up just because you backslid one week, don't give it up because you're not posting up massive weight loss every week.
Dropping from 270 to 210lb took me four months. Dropping below 200 took me another three months. At that point I stopped dieting and went up to 9 meals a week.
Don't fucking tell me I'm in denial. I know what I need to do to lose weight, I've done it, I can do it again and the fact remains: I can eat less than most people and still gain weight, while still doing above average exercise.
People are different. Sorry if that makes you feel less good about yourself, but don't dump your insecurities and your need to feel superior onto people with different physiques.
Anybody who can prove otherwise has also disproven one of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics that govern our known universe.
If I eat chillis with everything I consume, I'll shit most of it out before my body can absorb it. I can eat 5000 calories and absorb 500, because the rest is being flushed down the toilet.
It's ok, I haven't disproven one of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. Just demonstrated what a fuckwit you are.
Swimming: The pressure of water against the knees causes additional pain. Breast stroke explicitly forces the knee joint to open.
Paddle a canoe: Sure. Kneel down in a canoe on your bad knees?
Before you suggest: Cycling: A large factor in how shit my knees are now Running: Impact damage
Sure, there's gym work - if you have the ability to bore yourself senseless for hours at a time.
I walk (but no more than a couple of kilometres at a time) and I dance. It shouldn't be possible, but get a smooth enough wooden floor and you're moving with minimal friction. Even then a couple of hours leads to knee pain, but it's sustainable.
But I'm lucky, I've found something I can enjoy doing. If someone's been into running their whole life I can understand that it's difficult to replace that.
I lost 70lb to get under 200lb, I have no children and I still think you're full of shit.
When I can gain weight while eating just 9 meals a week, no food between meals and while going out dancing (so cardio exercise for 2-4 hours) at least twice a week, it's not fucking denial.
Sorry, I took your two barrels and they bounced off. I can handle the truth, sounds like you're the one with the issue.
To get my data to Google I have to pay for the electricity used by the phone. All my other costs are fixed so additional incremental use causes no further expenditure.
Where I have an issue is in getting access to the cloud storage anywhere that I might need it. My mobile network coverage is excellent, but it's not perfect.
It's interesting that you're trusting that the manager's assessment is accurate, but the expert's assessment is self-righteousness.
This will be why most of the responses on here are recommending getting additional opinions, primarily from the people employed by the company to assess legal/compliance risks and the appropriate responses to them.
The question isn't saying, "my manager is wrong, she's acting like a cock", the question is saying, "I disagree with my manager about the severity of these issues. How do I assure that these issues are not putting the company (and me) into jeopardy?"
Hell, I've committed to maintaining professional ethics as part of my professional accreditation. I had no hesitation, it needed no change in attitude from me.
I'm just better at the diplomacy on these issues than I used to be:)
I like your approach - sensible, measured, responsible, pragmatic and realistic.
I'd challenge only one thing: If the manager adopts option (3) and you genuinely believe the law is being broken, I would escalate.
My manager is never senior enough to tell me to break the law.
I also don't flee a good job purely because I disagree with the chosen compromise between legality and convenience. I do assure that the lega/compliance department have had the opportunity to review and advise the senior manager making that decision.
I work at a large company where this wouldn't fly for one reason: We have a security policy that specifically forbids it. Under the security policy, we have specific guidance for who must be told and, very specifically, that it should not be discussed or divulged beyond that.
Hell yes. Tell as few people as possible about security issues, whether it's corporate policy or not.
Appropriate escalation is massively different to a public broadcast. Proportionate and responsible engagement with relevant individuals will upset at most the direct manager, and even then only for skipping past him.
And if you do believe the company is violating the law, you totally need to bail ASAP.
I wouldn't work anywhere very long if I took that approach.
Instead a very constructive, "Hey, is that the Compliance department? Who can help me assure that we're doing the right thing here?" works wonders.
You don't claim you're trying to protect yourself, you make it clear from that outset that you're looking out for the company's best interests.
If you then find out that breaking the law is corporate policy then that's the time to leave. As described, it's a compromise between speed of delivery and due diligence to assure compliance, and that's where a good compliance department will provide adequate assurance that the balance is being reached.
What if you ask someone multiple times to stop entering your property and drinking from your water fountain?
In this situation, he didn't just ignore requests not to stop. To use your analogy, instead of taking a sip from the water fountain he was filling his fire truck from it.
Providing a convenient and free service works if you are able to prevent people abusing it. The school were providing such a service, which is why it wasn't switched off. He was abusing it.
Exactly. They got convicted for rioting and theft.
They didn't get told to pay the shop for all of the items stolen by all of the rioters, the costs of repairing the fixtures and fittings, the cost of policing the riots or the cost of rebuilding the shop next door after some other fuckwit burned it down.
Sounds proportionate and reasonable to me, or can't you see the difference?
Nobody's argued that he isn't guilty of a DoS attack.
They're arguing that holding him personally and solely responsible for restitution in full is inappropriate and disproportionate.
A decade of payments to a company just to cover one minute of activity which contributed 1/15th of maybe 0.1% of the damage they've claimed? If I was him I'd looking to get my money's worth.
Who would you pick out of: - "I need a job" - "I've always wanted to work for you, it would be my dream come true" - "I'm keen to take on a role within a sensible commute that lets me build on my existing skills and broaden my experience. Friends have given me great feedback about your company culture and I'm keen to come and see you and discuss the opportunity"
When I'm hiring, I don't want people that just want a job. I want people that can explain why it's the right job for them.

Losing a wee bit of personal pride is better than accepting theocratic rule, which would demean everybody.

Even God rested on the 7th day.
Why? Was it knackered or lazy?
UK. Virgin Mobile.
£16/month, includes 2500 minutes and unlimited texts, unlimited calls to landlines, unlimited calls to other Virgin Mobile customers.
If I go over something like 3.5GB/month they'll restrict speed to standard 3G speeds for the rest of the month - but no additional charges, and I still retain data access.
Overages? On an unlimited data plan?
Nah. I asked them explicitly. They sold it as unlimited, and it is.

I could draw in my professional body too.
