Maybe get rid of any walkie-talkies or pagers you might have.
Once I had a teacher who was trying to boast to me that his uncle or someone worked in engineering some American bomber, and I responded with “how many iraqis did that kill?” I didn’t get into trouble.
i mean it’s school, the op can lose it’s job, but that depends on what’s his job
I still could have gotten punished ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you bullied her, the school actually gave you points
This makes sense now. Ty!
Gotta say, it’s fun to read in-depth conversation explainers from other autistic people. As an autistic person myself I think it’s quite fun and informative.
Yes, there should be a book filled with these stories or something.
Who fucking reports comments made outside of work to HR? Learn how to handle uncomfortable social situations on your own you little tattler.
The fact that some event happened outside of work hours by no means disqualifies it as legitimate harassment. We should absolutely not be disparaging people for invoking this protection. Think of all the vulnerable groups who may be less likely to speak up after some shitty behavior if we start shitting on people for invoking this protection.
A hostile work environment claim may include conduct that occurs in a work-related context outside an employee’s regular workplace.[219] For instance, harassment directed at an employee during the course of offsite employer-required training occurs within the “work environment,” even if the training is not conducted at the employer’s facility.[220]
Example 53: Harassment During Off-Site Employer-Hosted Party Was Within Work Environment. Fatima’s employer hosts its annual holiday party in a private restaurant. One of her coworkers, Tony, drinks to excess, and at the end of the evening attempts to grope and kiss Fatima. Although Tony’s behavior occurred outside Fatima’s regular workplace and at a private restaurant unaffiliated with her employer, it occurred in a work-related context, the company-sponsored holiday party. Therefore, based on these facts, the harassment occurred in Fatima’s work environment for purposes of a Title VII sexual harassment claim.

Yes please daddy HR please mediate this mild discomfort between two coworkers because we cannot be bothered to just apologize to each other and move on on our own
Dont get me wrong i dont disagree with you that some people depend on the protection it offers, but it also makes me wonder how the person gets by outside work when they have to solve disagreements and rude interactions on their own.
And my point is that this kind of thinking is what contributes to our abysmal rate of people speaking up due to harassment.
I agree, this is a work function so HR could be invoked.
That said, I’m with Anon on this one. His coworker started it, and while on the surface Anon’s response sounds much darker, Anon is punching up and Israeli Coworker is punching down.
The potato famine was an economic genocide incited by colonial powers. You’d think if they get a laugh out of that they’d also get a laugh about currently ongoing genocides.
Fuck Israel but don’t blame your coworker.
Don’t throw around insults if you don’t want to be insulted.
The same goes for the Irish car bomb drink. As I heard one comedian say “imagine how many Americans would be up in arms if I made a drink that was two kamikazes in a Manhattan and called it a 9/11.”
9/11 drink would go hard tho, imagine it comes in two cups, with 9 parts something 11 parts alcohol, but it would be easier on others countries with 11/9
The difference is Irish car bombs are fucking delicious. That 9/11 sounds disgusting.
This is how to do carbomb jokes.

I mean I’d wager vast majority of the internet doesn’t have an inkling of who the creator was or his wishes, they see the format and make their own.

Though seriously most Americans think the potato famine was a natural disaster and have no idea why it is called the great hunger.
During the American War of Independence the reins were loosened a little. Further concessions had to be granted during the French Revolution. Ireland rose so quickly that her people threatened to outstrip the English. The English government drove them to rebellion and achieved the Union [390] by bribery. The Union delivered the death blow to reviving Irish industry. On one occasion Meagher said: all Irish branches of industry have been destroyed, all we have been left is the making of coffins. It became a vital necessity to have land; the big landowners leased their lands to speculators; land passed through four or five lease stages before it reached the peasant, and this made prices disproportionately high. The agrarian population lived on potatoes and water; wheat and meat were sent to England; the rent was eaten up in London, Paris and Florence. In 1836, £7,000,000 was sent abroad to absent landowners. Fertilisers were exported with the produce and rent, and the soil was exhausted. Famine often set in here and there, and owing to the potato blight there was a general famine in 1846. A million people starved to death. The potato blight resulted from the exhaustion of the soil, it was a product of English rule.
Through the repeal of the Corn Laws Ireland lost her monopoly position on the English market, the old rent could no longer be paid. High prices of meat and the bankruptcy of the remaining small landowners further contributed to the eviction of the small peasants and the transformation of their land into sheep pastures. Over half a million acres of arable land have not been tilled since 1860. The yield per acre has dropped: oats by 16 per cent, flax by 36 per cent, potatoes by 50 per cent. At present only oats are cultivated for the English market, and wheat is imported.
With the exhaustion of the soil, the population has deteriorated physically. There has been an absolute increase in the number of lame, blind, deaf and dumb, and insane in the decreasing population.
Over 1,100,000 people have been replaced by 9,600,000 sheep. This is a thing unheard of in Europe. The Russians replace evicted Poles with Russians, not with sheep. Only under the Mongols in China was there once a discussion whether towns should be destroyed to make room for sheep.

Racism was the cause.
It was colonialism and the primitive accumulation stage of capitalism, but racism often runs in the same circles
honestly I just read it as Irish people liking potatoes, similar to the stereotype that Germans like sauerkraut
Irish people were forced to eat potatoes because they were subjugated by british lords who took everything else they farmed. When the potato “famine” happened, they were actually still producing plenty of other food, just that the British lords didnt care and still forced them to hand it over.
Admittedly this is the extent of my knowledge on the situation, so you should look it up yourself if you want to know more.
The “Joke” at the irish guy in the greentext is actually pretty insensitive and rude, much moreso than asking a german why he didnt order sauerkraut.
Potatoes aren’t even native to Ireland.
Yeah about a million Irish died and a million emigrated.
Ireland lost a quarter of it’s population.
If the story wasn’t gake and fay, and if that joke about bombing hospitals gets someone into trouble, then the potato joke definitely should as well.

What have we taken from you?
well they didn’t teach that in school 🤯
Theres a lot they don’t teach in school! Its been over a decade for me but from what I remember “world history” class was basically just WWI and WWII.
As Irish you don’t have distinct nationality anyway since you haven’t claimed any independence from the UK
Edit if green text OP is from Northern Ireland, I am right. You can claim “ethnicity” but it doesn’t mean much when a crown claims you as subject 🤷♀️
Ireland is not part of the UK you idiot. That’s Northern Ireland, a totally different country.
It’s a bit of a troll comment, I admit
Even if it was, this is just a fucking dumb strawman argument. Like, what does that imply? You’re free to insult one’s ethnicity as long as their people aren’t recognized having their own nation?
Anon shouldn’t care about working with people who support genocide.
Bro each time i laugh, look at the comments and remember its fake, Each fuckin time
Man I thought that insult was golden.
Today: “erm akshurally did those kids condemn Hamas, obviously not therefore they deserve it”
Ireland (before independence): “erm akshurally did those kids condemn the IRA, obviously not therefore they deserve it”
