Salary workers almost never get paid overtime and generally make more "per hour" than the standard hourly wage already anyway. Also, you literally cannot be forced to work more than 40 hrs a week when salaried. This is also the terms that are agreed to by both parties (usually by contract) before employment begins. Kind sounds to me like if you want to be a salaried employee AND make overtime, that you should negotiate that before beginning employment.
I didn't say anything about not allowing representation.
Honestly, my main gripe here is that an intensely emotional scene that is held in such high regard because of the story and context, has been cheapened by adding a sociopolitical slant to it! This moment (which I know does not occur in the book the same way), is about the Mighty King Aragorn, facing his death willingly in service of his friend Frodo.
That's it and that's all. In the context it's a powerful moment that makes ALL PEOPLE (except maybe sociopaths) feel a sense of honor and comradery for two beloved characters.
It's not a fucking allegory for "kids who haven't even hit puberty yet should be allowed to transition!!"
Please feel free to create any new story of any kind that represents absolutely every subgroup of person who feels marginalized! (it would have to be a 30 season slog with incessant infighting about which group is more marginalized and thus deserves more representation than the others).
But then, of course, nobody would watch it (or at least not enough people to warrant a production company spending so much money on such a project) So, we start the cycle over and the trans movement once again has to pirate another big name IP to feel "really seen" (aka, LOOK AT ME!!!)
I'm sorry to have to break the news here, but the trans community makes up 1.14% of the population of the US!
I think, considering this data, that it is OVER represented in modern culture!
That's a nice hobby or interest you got there. Would be a shame if someone......SHARTED SANTORUM ALL OVER IT!!!! Fuck your hobby! It's part of the trans movement now!!
And that, they and thems, is why so many people find the movement so God damn insufferable.
I remember when Obama was doing that. I also remember when even MSNBC was boasting that the Biden administration deported more people than Trump did, ON ELECTION NIGHT! They were parading that stat around like it was the best thing ever!
Oh, you guys just don't like it when it's a non Democrat that is putting up record deportation numbers?
Are you implying that Trump has "verbatim" said that we will have "death camps"? And that we will "loose all our rights"? And that "he is Hitler"?
Source please.
"Why are there so many randomly bold words?" Sorry, I was just trying to match the tone of the room. Nobody listens to you unless you are screaming in their face that they are "literally being assaulted" on the internet. Also, I have to give you SOMETHING to attack beside the actual point! Sure, it's my formatting that is the REAL problem!
Stoking fear? Like telling everyone that if you vote a certain way, it will be the LITERAL downfall of not only US civilization, but of civilization on the entire mother fucking PLANET!? Like stoking fear by saying that if they vote a certain way that LITERAL DEATH CAMPS will be common place? Like telling people that they are going to LITERALLY LOSE ALL OF THEIR RIGHTS!!? Like telling people that YOU ARE LITERALLY VOTING FOR LITERALLY HITLER!!!?
They are women!! Their policy positions should not have had ANYTHING to do with the vote!! Everyone should have voted for them because they are women!!
My sincerest wish is that Elon Musk just waits until an X alternative gets big enough, buys it and destroys it in perpetuity. Save the people from their addiction to "likes" and "shares".
He does get sentenced, but will be given "time served" since he gave his Presidential paychecks back to the IRS.
This way, he didn't "worm his way out of it" and then any politician caught doing anything can use the precedent of "I have been serving the country for years!" to avoid any actual punishment.
You wonder why so many politicians were lawyers all of their lives before getting into politics.
I would be absolutely fine with allowing for abortion up to the point of hearing a heartbeat if that's the scientific consensus for the definition of life.
Unfortunately, heartbeat bills have been demonized to no end because (again) "it's my way or fuck you!!"
I am not unsupportive of women's rights, I am willing to be supportive of the rights of those who may not be able to speak for themselves.
Yeah, as long as they deliver a message that is politically Democrat, then it belongs here.
Fun is no longer an option for this feed.
