Most ubisoft games still sell well despite being of the most criticised in gaming, this is usually because Ubislop is very normie gaymer oriented who play maybe 2-3 games a year,

so they are the type not to get involved with culture war shenanigans, let's see if fun comes from this!

A leading academic no doubt thought she was making polite conversation when she mentioned her fondness of sushi to a Japanese colleague.

However, Nana Sato-Rossberg interpreted the comment as racist, accused Claire Ozanne of prejudice, then sued the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

Now the judge chairing an employment tribunal has ruled that Sato-Rossberg, a linguistics and culture professor, was “hypersensitive” and “predisposed” to finding fault in her colleague. Jillian Brown dismissed Sato-Rossberg's claim, finding that Ozanne, the former deputy director and provost at Soas, was simply making acceptable and friendly “small talk”.

Earlier the tribunal was told that Sato-Rossberg started teaching at the university in 2014 and five years later was appointed as head of the department for languages, culture and linguistics.

In 2020 Ozanne, an Oxford graduate and insect specialist who has appeared on BBC radio programmes and has since moved to Liverpool Hope University, became her manager.

The tribunal in central London heard that after their first meeting, Sato-Rossberg told a colleague that she thought Ozanne would be biased because Sato-Rossberg “was not British” and was an ethnic minority woman.

The hearing was told that Sato-Rossberg had said that “people like me — a non-white female — must constantly consider the possibility that they are treated unfairly because of gender or ethnicity”.

There was also evidence that in 2021 Ozanne told Sato-Rossberg about a sushi restaurant near her home that her family enjoyed visiting, and that the professor took exception to the comment. Sato-Rossberg told the tribunal that Ozanne “would not have said to a German person, ‘I like sausage.'”

Sato-Rossberg told the hearing that if Ozanne “wished to make conversation, we had many commonalities through our work and professional academic endeavour. But [she] chose to speak only about topics directly relevant to my race: the liking of Japanese food and that her family like it and eat sushi.”

In its report the tribunal said that in the six months following the sushi comment, Sato-Rossberg continued to complain about Ozanne. In 2022 she emailed a senior member of the university's administration accusing the deputy director of bullying and harassment. Sato-Rossberg asked for Ozanne to be replaced as her manager, claiming that she had exhibited “racist microaggression” towards her.

The university started an investigation into the claims, during which time Sato-Rossberg was promoted, but it rejected the allegations last year. In response Sato-Rossberg sued Soas for race discrimination, harassment, victimisation and unfair treatment for whistleblowing.

Rejecting the claim, the judge found that Sato-Rossberg had concluded, without evidence, that Ozanne was prejudiced against her from the start of their relationship.

Addressing the sushi remark, the judge said that Ozanne was aware that Sato-Rossberg was Japanese and took the view that she “would receive this positively. She was making small talk and trying to establish a point of shared interest.”

The judge added that Ozanne had said “nothing detrimental about Japan”.

We just set the fridge to a colder setting. It must have changed the freezer. Its a short stay rental apartment (199)

We?The chances are far more likely that a person you live with has a problem they do not want you to know about than for you to have gotten a "bad batch" or have a freezer that goes that cold.I do not mean to insult you or them, I just encourage you to try and think about if that lens could bring sense to otherwise difficult-to-understand actions by your spouse/partner/roommate/friend. If so, I also encourage you to reach out for help from al-anon or other support groups for how you can deal with living with someone who has alcoholism.Signed,A gratefully sober alcoholic (-117)

Fun fact :This post might have saved my life during college. I moved into a flat in my second year of college after a bad experience in the dorm I was staying in. A family owned building and they were renting the first story. It was more expensive and I had to do some freelance work on the side to afford it but I was free now right ? My academic success suddenly took a deep dive, my results in freelance projects also went awful and I developed a severe depression with frequent time loss. This lasted around 8 months. I went to several doctors, including psychiatrists. Nothing solved the problem till I read this thread. Got a co meter and surely enough it was the co. Didn't know where it was coming from but I suspected the gas furnace and called the national gas hotline. Turned out the cheap landlord got his relative to install the new furnace. They fricked up and it was leaking exhaust into the basement and my flat. Landlord also got his relative to turn off the co alarm embedded... (1)

CO poisoning is my worst fear. Every new place I go I bring my co monitor. The worst I've seen was 20ppm and it was from when I tried to over night a fire in my wood burning stove. (1)

This is how I was able to catch my little brother sneaking alcohol. We had a bottle of Kirkland vodka and the “vodka” seemingly froze. So I waited for him to come home from school one day and chilled with him to play some video games. I pulled the Kirkland bottle out nonchalantly (the entire bottle was defrosted) and took a mighty big chug. His eyes went wide and he had the audacity to say “slow down” and “why are you drinking that?” I looked him dead in his eyes and laughed and told him “I should be saying the same to you” gave him a good ol lesson that liquor doesn't. Freeze. It wasn't water either that he filled it up with but coconut water. With visible signs of coconut pulp in the vodka bottle. He felt pretty dumb that day , got taxed whatever amount a Kirkland bottle costed because if our father found out, he would have gotten an butt beating so I took his money to replace the bottle. And he lost horribly to me in Mortal Kombat that same day. (3)

You can a few free chats with the new model so I uploaded the Paris pic I posted yesterday

It easily recognized it, so I thought I'd keep the conversation on Paris.

I asked the old model, no joy.
