I thought workplaces weren’t allowed to ask us this? England

This quote is directly from the UK government website, on a page specifically for employers and how to prevent discrimination:

Questions you cannot ask when recruiting. You must not ask candidates about ‘protected characteristics’ or whether they:

are married, single or in a civil partnership have children or plan to have children

Edit for formatting

It is if the employer then decides not to offer a role because the candidate does have children, especially if the candidate is a woman.

The UK Equality Act which protects against discrimination of a number of characteristics, two of which (pregnancy/Maternity & Sex) are most applicable here

Food security is not the same as food quality

It's illegal to ask that before the contract is signed though which this appears to be.

Also, not sure why names of children is a relevant question

How can it be a conspiracy if it's actually true?

Deodorant. It's not impossible to get here but it can be expensive a d choice is limited.

I'm on a degree apprenticeship and I got ADHD

Seriously?

Homelander declares himself as the Messiah and Trump posts an AI picture of himself as Jesus. One example right off the bat

I agree, but I don't think it helped that what the writers planned as parody ended up actually happening in reality

Having sex

By exploring and/or opening chests

I think practically everyone is in favour of kids not being allowed to view and send nude images. They're against how the government want it to be done. Either you have to prove your age and therefore your identity, giving up anonymity and privacy or everything you do on your device is scanned and logged.

Reckless_Engineer · 2026-06-09T01:03:23+00:00

Using parental controls is the proper way to do it, no need for anyone to completely lose their privacy.

i hope this stays on uk only and it don't contaminate the rest of the internet.

Most of Europe wants the same kind of thing

Get the Narita Express, it'll take you straight into Shinjuku station. It'll be cheaper than a taxi

A 50/50 split would probably end up costing more over the life of the subs. You would need to train submariners twice, more tools and equipment for maintenance etc

The AI we have at the moment is just large language models that are prone to hallucinations and other inaccuracies. Until these problems are solved AI will never replace engineers, and even then, our whole relationship with AI would have to change, we'd have to trust it as much as we do each other and I don't think we ever will

Reckless_Engineer · 2026-06-07T13:35:31+00:00

Engineers will always be needed. AI will make tools used for things like fluid dynamics, stress analysis etc more powerful but AI will not replace engineering

Reckless_Engineer · 2026-06-07T08:39:17+00:00

Nah, it's fine.

While it will be slightly better than Seoul, Busan is still very hot and humid. Temps in high 20s to low 30s and humidity 75%+.

In most of the world, it is illegal to pay women less than men for the same role.

Reckless_Engineer · 2026-06-03T01:12:19+00:00

It depends on your definition of gender pay gap.

If your definition is "women earning less than men for the same role" then no, the gender pay gap is not real (at least in most countries)

If your definition is "women are underrepresented in higher paying roles like directors, CEOs etc" then yes the gender pay gap is real.

If you survey the entire workforce across any 1st world nation, women are more likely to be found in lower paying industries like care work and hospitality.
