I personally would want assurances that an employee I hired wouldn’t take a 15 week (paid) absence after working for only 3/4/5 months. Keep in mind paid maternity leave is mandatory in the EU.

Let’s say you’re a dude and you have a surgery coming up that will cause you to be out for multiple months in the near future. That’s not something that can be tested for, but it would be pretty shitty if you didn’t disclose it in the hiring process. Testing’s a bit much, but you do think a prospective employee has…

Well yeah, if a co-worker wasn’t able to work for 9 months of course they have a right to be worried.

Clever, but try and face reality. Men can’t get pregnant and therefore are (on average) less costly than their female counterparts. Girls also take more sick days off (“women problems” is the buzzword).

I am well aware that race matters, I was taught not to treat race as a deciding factor in my decision making and try to get others to follow the same (in the hope that at some point in the future it really won’t matter anymore)

They’ve decided those white people are citizens with full rights.

So, just to be clear, you think people who have lived in a place for generations, but don’t share the skin color of the original inhabitants of that place, don’t deserve to live there?

Why does it matter? seriously as a White male who has always been taught that race doesn’t matter I’ve become incredibly confused by the message of equality when people complain that someone isn’t the right race for whatever position they’re in (whether it’s Spider-man or apparently Miss South Africa). I get that…

Yeah, I’m cosigning what you’re writing in this thread. This mentality doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It’s not about being pressed about what teenagers like or don’t like, it’s about criticizing someone with a blatantly obvious lack of talent.

THIS. And sorry, but when I was a young teen, hip-hop consisted of Kings like Tupac, Biggie, Snoop, Dre, Ice-Cube and his crew and so on. As I got older and late teens/college, we had Eminem, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, those amazing Missy Elliot and Timabaland collabs, LL Cool J popping in and out of the scene, Ludacris,…

Counterpoint: he’s terrible and we should not pretend otherwise because we are afraid to appear old.

Respectfully, there all KINDS of gun control laws on the books.

Open carry = gun in plain sight.  Contrast with concealed carry, which is gun hidden from view. The latter takes a license in most states whereas open carry leaves your cards on the table, so to speak.

I think they misused the word sleeveless. The key point is that the inappropriate clothing exposed shoulders, which isn’t considered business appropriate attire. Even the picture leading the articles shows the appropriate business attire, with her shoulders covered. Really not that big of a deal.

Excellent, acknowledged and then revel in your ignorance!

Stop reading jezebel/media as a whole. I know it sounds like a joke but it’s designed to make people angrier and more in competition with people they disagree with because of how our brains work and what people are likely to click on (which makes these companies money).

And I think you’re a part of the problem if you have not even a cursory understanding of the issue. Compare gun homicides to other forms of mortality in our country, and then look at the trend since the 90s.

Nope, the logic is there. It’s just that we value our ability to own and use a thing despite some people misusing it. Firearms in our culture are important enough to take the bad with the good. Some cultures don’t agree and that’s okay.

Don’t they both kill a similar number of people per year?

Fake news. The NYC hospitals are gun free zones. It’s impossible to get shot in a gun free zone. That’s just common sense.
