As a potential employer, I'd be highly suspect of an applicant who DIDN'T post offensive political diatribe on a Facebook page, or tweet religious or racist nonsense. Someone who is intelligent and reasonable on social media is hiding something.

Yep, we're hiding being NORMAL. I ignore all things political & religious on Facebook. I don't think that's a good platform for those discussions; I'd much rather have a face to face conversation about something potentially controversial.

Wish I had thought of that...

Sometimes these things are false positives. And, you can still see the link in the warning message so if anyone wants to type the URL, they can, but it's just too easy to be victimized these days by cyberdorks (Can I say that?)

Since I am at work I tried it (not my system hee hee) it's very creepy and I did not click the button.

Tested on incognito mode on a Chromebook. Site polls a lot of info (cpu type, browser, incognito mode, yada yada yada) which is probably what sets off the alarm. Probably just alarming, educational, and harmless.


Why are the men in black rappelling off my roof?

You never are as grateful for what you have until you lose it. I really miss being able to drive my lovely car. I hope my next doctors visit gives me back my approval. That and the green light to have alcohol too!

Dual SIM phones are definitely useful.

BTW I just noticed in that EE welcome to China expensive roaming message. "In case of Emergency, dial 112."... Not in China it isn't. Dialing 112 won't get you anything here.


UK holiday is over, I'm back in Beijing.

I've got a heart condition that causes passing out and I'm on a beta blocker. It's taken a long time to regulate it with medicine and dose changes. They almost decided on a pace maker but I was really adamant about avoiding that if possible.

They've allowed me to take diphenhydramine again, so I'm getting there. Just need approval to drive regularly and have a drink now and again.

I know you aren't supposed to have caffeine, antihistamines, alcohol or anything fun while on a beta blocker but me (and my doctor) know quality over quantity. So he's slowly working to allow me "exceptions" so I can enjoy my life again. No point in living to 80+ if I'm a miserable vice free hag. Haha.

I can never understand people who can refrain from everything bad for them.

Like.. It's the most fun part of living!

That's your view, and I respect it, but fun is subjective. I don't particularly call going out, drinking 10 pints and throwing up, and feeling like shit the next day much fun, but quite a lot of people do.

Any fun activity taken to an extreme can be too much. Having a beer or drink while out on a date is a whole different ballgame that getting bleepfaced with your buddies. I'll take the former. The latter hasn't been fun for me since my college days.

My only vice (besides a certain need to fondle Dngrswife on a regular basis) up to recently had been caffeine in the form of soda (can't stand the taste of coffee).

Since last month, though, I can't handle the sweetness of cola, so I am pretty much boring add far as vices go.

I read a lot, I spend a little too much time on the computer, and I like spicy food--okay, I like food, but even there I've cut back significantly in an effort to get my weight back to a healthier level.

I'm only miserable because I'm fed up with my current job and I have far too many leeches attached to my wallet.

...and the aforementioned self-imposed starvation.
