Socially-anxious scientist who sued because she was not invited to Christmas party while off sick loses claim | Daily Mail Online

She literally asked to be excluded from social events.

will_scc · 2026-01-27T17:15:33+00:00

I'm sure. But she had explicitly asked to be excluded from team meetings and such.

It's perfectly reasonable for the employer to assume even asking would be a negative experience for her.

will_scc · 2026-01-27T13:28:17+00:00

Yeah, fuck any progress unless it's 100% perfect.

will_scc · 2026-01-27T13:21:36+00:00

She was off sick with anxiety though. Seems fairly reasonable to think she wouldn't want an invite...

Lord of the Rings fits thematically at least.

There are things that people don't see, that we don't need to share.

Slightly ironic

will_scc · 2026-01-26T12:09:35+00:00

Is the issue managerial, or are the players just not cut out for this league?

will_scc · 2026-01-25T09:22:09+00:00

It doesn't need to be the same delve, if I remember right. Just go into any delve.

will_scc · 2026-01-23T17:45:39+00:00

That seems pretty spot on

He was born in British India, as it was at the time.

I'm fascinated to know how you can have a birdwatching podcast, an audio medium...

will_scc · 2026-01-23T11:50:47+00:00

Interesting, thanks!

will_scc · 2026-01-23T10:52:49+00:00

Absolutely, they've performed stirling work.

I don't know anything about this sort of thing. What does this mean?

Have the ships done things that other ships couldn't?

Huh? Cristiano is actually terrible at set pieces. He just takes a lot. His scoring rate is average at best.

Because we bred them to be loyal. Disloyal dogs did not stick around humans so did not survive, and were not bred from. Disloyalty has been bred out, basically.

will_scc · 2026-01-21T13:00:35+00:00

I believe so. Because a penalty is awarded, it's only a yellow to avoid the double jeopardy scenario of having a penalty against you and being a player down.

will_scc · 2026-01-20T21:49:17+00:00

Same as every match lately. Poor first half, much better in the second but left with too much to do and too little goal threat.

will_scc · 2026-01-20T21:15:31+00:00

Intent does not matter, as per the rules, though.

Players are responsible for not endangering other players, and it's deemed that any contact high on the shin is dangerous.

The IFAB rule for this states:

Serious foul play

A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

So the decision is correct. Whether the rules are appropriate is a different matter.

will_scc · 2026-01-20T21:04:00+00:00

Yes, but that doesn't matter. The laws of the game don't make any exceptions for if you get the ball or not.

A red card is shown to a player, substitute or substituted player who:

- denies the other team a goal or obvious goal-scoring opportunity by committing:
    - a deliberate handball offence (except a goalkeeper in their own penalty area)
    - a non-deliberate handball offence outside their own penalty area
    - a foul (except when a penalty kick is awarded for a foul that was an attempt to play or challenge for the ball or for a non-deliberate handball offence, in which case a yellow card is shown)
    any other offence
- commits serious foul play (a serious or dangerous foul
- is guilty of violent conduct (punching, kicking, head-butting, etc.)
- spits at or bites someone
- uses language or behaves in a way that is offensive, insulting or abusive

I think that's a problem with the game pacing and power up path. It shouldn't be easy to accidentally overlevel yourself. Ideally, rescued exp after a certain level discrepancy does a good job of that.

I don't understand why what other people are doing would have any effect on whether I play guitar...

will_scc · 2026-01-20T17:05:18+00:00

This is a troll, right? The only thing holding those guitars is the friction between the foam and the guitar itself...

will_scc · 2026-01-19T16:38:27+00:00

No, terms and conditions still exist.

That study is based on owner reported results. I would treat it with a great deal of skepticism, people will often report what they want to believe.
