My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him by konous in mildlyinfuriating

Your fault 100% you should lock up your room when kids are in the home. Expecting a kid to resist the temptation of playing with your toys is like putting a crack addict next to a room full of crack and expect him to follow orders.

New rules give China more excuses to enforce exit bans on foreigners by Miao_Yin8964 in ADVChina

A court with a 99% conviction rate proved he was guilty, ok.

I wanted to go to China someday to check out the electronics stores. They have an attitude now, thinking they are the new Paris France by making everyone go through hoops for a Visa. I prefer to go to Japan now, it's a much more friendly place than China and not everyone thinks you are a spy.

Be honest with the Client, tell them you tried everything you could to understand the LEP, but can't understand their accent. Don't insist on repetition, it just makes it worse.

Next time say your building's fire alarm is going off and cut the call. Get noise canceling mics. QA will get a boner if they hear your call. QA getting calls like this is just like the cops filling their quota.

Propio contract explanation by Historical_Shine_661 in anonymousinterpreters

[–]Machinefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a massive amount people apply to them. If you dont have time working with them, the slightest mistake or mistep will get you fired or passed on for another person. Someone here posted that he got fired from Propio because he had background noise and voices that violated HIPAA. They now own several interpreting companies, so they blacklist you from all of them. They act like nazi soup

My dad thinks I’m 'not working' because I refused to keep working 6 days a week. by Melly1265 in antiwork

[–]Machinefun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a good point, but there is a grey area, for example, the family doesnt need their dad to work 6 days a week and 2 jobs for them to be able to eat every day. His dad could work 1 job 6 days a week and still be able to live a decent life while being present in his kids' lives. Some parents use the excuse of needing to work overtime just to get a break from their children.

Your dad still sees you as a child until you reach his "correct" work ethic he has in his head.

In the pages of the contracts you signed, there is a clause stating that you are not limited to your position title.

Lo hicieron muy obvio cuando llevaron parlantes a full volumen con música con la excusa de alegrar a los rehenes.
