Cash is, to say the least, unlikely due to the fact that my company is, well, Evil. Reinstatement and expunging of the record is much more possible (on procedural grounds even if I can't beat the specific allegations), although I wouldn't exactly be opposed to the alternative.  A lawsuit would probably take ten years, and end inconclusively when they start throwing people under the bus.

i came to the horrifying realization that the rules against sex discussion means bay12 can never write a book of limericks

I'm sure that the men from Nantucket will be really sad
yes they will i mean you can write a clean limerick but



    The limerick packs laughs anatomical
    Into space that is quite economical.

        But the good ones I've seen
        So seldom are clean

    And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
...Orange for emphasis, it seems you lack insight in your perception.
Or your sort of humor is dedicated to the more...hmm, different tastes, mm?

Let me school you typo one,
In the art of Limerick fun,
We need not be crass
Nor provoke with trash,
An artform is subjectively done.

And your... basis is just copied from wikipedia -_-

On the 3 younger mythbusters conversation: I like the roboticist. But I liked them all better when they were known as the "build team", and weren't full fledged busters.
If they got demoted, I'd be OK with it. But the two that aren't Grant get too much time in the camera right now, AND I don't want Grant to be fired.

Now that's sad.
The state of our world, of business as a general whole.
I'm morally opposed to the whole "suing" and "lawsuit" business. I don't mean that you shouldn't; I mean, I think the world would be a better place if big companies couldn't sue people into the ground and drag out court deals that they couldn't win until the other side gives up.

So I got fired today, on absolute bullshit charges I was explicitly told I wasn't allowed to defend myself against, that HR had already done a full investigation and had pronounced me guilty. The union is confident of being able to fight it, but that's not going to help that much even if I win, if they're that determined to get rid of me.
If I might ask, what are the charges?

Can't say, although in this situation the details aren't likely to be important, as the contractual procedure wasn't followed.

Yeah, well that's not okay. Use the [ br ] tag if you feel the need to separate different topics.
