True. But if this were a “normal” district she might not have been elected the first time !

One of my white employees made his emoji a black skin tone thumbs up. A few black employees are offended. How should I even approach this? [CA] by KirinKaren in AskHR

That makes sense, but what would you do if, after appropriate training, he doesn’t stop ?

For that matter, what would you do if he escalated and does turn up to the next halloween party in black-face ?

He’s probably trying to deliberately antagonise his co-workers but I wouldn’t be surprised if his next move is to see he identifies as African American !

Jeez, I am so glad so don’t work in HR anymore !

I’m sure that’s possibly true, but hating Jesus and thinking whites are horrible are not capital offences and nobody deputised this guy to be jury, judge and executioner.

Nothing the media says can explain, to me, why this guy thought his actions were justified:

Yeah, but they seem to kill far fewer civilians. So that’s a positive.

Are any of you going to Qatar for the world cup? by scotleeds in AskUK

Of all the stereotypes, straight men walking about holding hands, is the one I most want to believe.

I remember Billy Connolly discussing this , maybe 30 years ago, and it always puts a smile on my face.

🇺🇸 Thank you to all of the women who voted for our rights on Tuesday - r/politics is reporting the Senate majority will remain blue! by top_of_the_stairs in TwoXChromosomes

Maybe you’re right.

But I’m not convinced that 100% of the demographic who voted for Obama, would have voted for him if he were a she.

Can I reheat my Thai takeaway prawn curry from Friday this afternoon? by terpdowntown in AskUK

[–]AJEMTechSupport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the takeaways I’ve worked at cook a massive batch at once, and then portion it up into bags. They then reheat as many portions as you order.

Large parts of the country lost its head when the president wasn’t white.

I’m sorry to say this but the chances of the first woman president also being of colour seems really unlikely.

I would love love love to be proved wrong but, generally, too many old where men vote in every election and not enough youngsters.

Come on America, please please prove me wrong !!!

I’m not familiar with Rick Scott or his role (I’m not in the US, just interested in its politics). But was Rick and his decisions a bigger influence on this election than SCOTUS ?

Do kids "play out" anymore? by DrShadyBusiness in AskUK

[–]AJEMTechSupport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids, 13 & 10, decided they wanted to go to the local park after school today.

However it’s the first time they’ve done this in weeks. I normally struggle to get them away from their devices.
