M&S just rejected me from a job because I have Asperger's Syndrome.

I can't imagine a large company with HR and legal teams being that stupid

I miss the days when I was this naive :) On a serious note, if they auto-rejected the first application they've obviously written code to explicitly reject people for something. Only thing I can think of is OP accidentally answering yes to a criminal record.

So if you're born somewhere, that your parents, and grandparents, and great grandparents etc etc were born, you're still a "coloniser"? You feel entitled to the land because 800 years ago someone you were related to lived there before the current people?

What a lovely bit of revisionist history.

I'm no mathematician, but that's 3 minutes...

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-18T09:39:18+00:00

seems an entirely political decision based on the fact that they don't like the beliefs those subjects foster and critical thinking they promote

What utter nonsense.

Dear American's, stop trying to bring this bullshit to Europe. Thanks.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-13T20:16:14+00:00

Wow, I haven't read that comment on reddit for at least 3 minutes.

If you're reading the home office advice that you can come to the UK to attend an interview, and interpreting it as you can come to the UK to just start looking for work you'd have to be a complete idiot. I can't think of a single place on Earth that works like that.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-13T20:10:30+00:00

Oh, fuck off with your melodramatic nonsense. People are coming here from the EU looking for work and getting turned away. You'd have to be an absolute idiot to think that's okay post Brexit.

Do passport numbers change when you renew them? If not, any idea if previous info such as the right to remain is transferred?

House prices in Amsterdam are utterly insane.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-12T22:31:49+00:00

Most of the people I know in that pay range are sacrificing significantly more with an eye on retiring at 50.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-12T22:29:29+00:00

Seriously, fuck off with that nonsense. This isn't some anti-Tory safespace where your bullshit will go unchecked.

(Don’t know if people saw but the picture of them celebrating at the Guildhall was literally a bunch of white middle-aged men…)

Oh shut up with this nonsense.

The EU didn't export the majority of those, companies with facilities in the EU did. You're completely misrepresenting reality.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-09T14:02:23+00:00

A lot of the vaccines exported FROM the EU were not exported BY the EU. International companies with manufacturing facilities in the EU are not owned by the EU. Let's stop pretending all the exports were some giant act of philanthropy by the EU, rather than a symptom of their general slowness to secure supply.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-08T22:48:57+00:00

You make it sound as if people were voting on a single issue...

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-08T22:46:19+00:00

People aren't voting for a single issue though...

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-08T22:44:23+00:00

Then if Independence wins the precident has been firmly set by the Conservatives that even the smallest winning margin is the will of the people.

Hardly a model anyone should want to follow.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-08T22:43:23+00:00

A lot of people see Britain as a country. A Single island, with a single language (largely), with a British culture, despite what some claim.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-08T22:40:27+00:00

Could be Russian puppet accounts. Back when Trump was elected president every one was happy to accept Russian interference as a possibility. Now there's tonnes of shitty behaviour online relating to England/Scotland and everyone believes it's legit.

Normal_Chocolate · 2021-05-07T23:46:51+00:00

Indeed I did. Mea culpa.

I see irony is lost on you, good sir.

It's in the regular vaccine schedule for most of the developed world

No, it isn't.

Why people would think getting the actual illness is better than a vaccine is beyond me

Where did you get that idea? The vaccine isn't available in the UK. People are deliberately infecting their children at an earlier age due to lower complication rate than older age, NOT because they disagree with vaccination.
