His efforts at propagandizing the migrant crisis shows he's a racist and propagandist, that's who he is, and fuck him for that.

He's also a serial abuse enabler with all of the children he's helped send to these shitty delinquent boot camps, none of which aren't full of abuse both sexual and physical.

"I read Rush Limbaugh's book and discovered that I was in fact Uncle Ruckus!"

Tevor Noah was really good, but he's not on Stewart's level, and unfortunately it seemed like all of the pressure and attacks on Noah really started eating at him, I hope Noah finds his groove again and continues to do good, but I'm glad Jon is back, we needed his gravitas for what we're facing politically this year.

Apple cancelled his other show because he talked shit about some things they didn't like, effectively censoring him.

No Apple cancelled his show after he wouldn't back down about an episode he had planned about China, Apple backed down because they are China's bitch.

His Apple TV show was great too, except for Apple being scared to let anybody criticize China.

OP admitted that they at least mildly engaged with the thief, had OP not gone even that far there probably wouldn't have been a physical confrontation, also OP's version of events could be biased as well, I'm not accusing OP, I'm just open to the possibility.

So with that said, sure people panic in tense situations, but if they know the policies in place, especially a manager with 20 years on the job, they would probably know that they shouldn't engage if the policies forbid it, or at least I'd hope they would, managers are supposed to be some of the arbiters of the rules in the workplace.

The problem in these situations is usually the worker's ego and sense of outrage at the crime, and obviously also the shithead or desperate criminal committing said crime, people have to overcome their ego and outrage and simply not put themselves in harms way, push folks to safety in the back areas, lock yourself in, and call the cops and corporate who ever you're supposed to call in such situations.

I'm also not talking out of my ass, I'm going off accounts of what my 26 year old daughter has done as an assistant manager at Walgreens in similar circumstances, thankfully she no longer works at Walgreens, as it's a shit company that does not give AF about their people.

This is one of the many reasons why you should just call the cops and otherwise not get involved unless they're immediately dangerous to people, a.) The companies have insurance against this stuff, and they usually have policies against would be "heroes" getting involved, and b.) They will fire you, you could get sued, you could wind up with charges yourself. You as a manager should have had an understanding of these things, but you didn't and now you are facing the consequences of your actions, or the actions you felt forced to take.

Nobody should care that much about their faceless corporation, especially not in retail, why? Because they absolutely do not give a fuck about you, they will fire or lay you off for any silly reason, often just to make or save a few more bucks.

Everyone should just learn how to do your job and go home peacefully, and enjoy your time, or do something more meaningful with your time. You sound like you're a nice meaningful person, maybe spend some time volunteering with the homeless or other needy groups, those people need the help, not some faceless greedy corporation.

Also get out of front line retail, it's a shit show at every level, as a manager there are plenty of other fields you can move to if you have the ability, also getting into something like Project Management doesn't take much, and the Project Management Professional certification is fairly easy to get, albeit somewhat pricey.

Good luck with your next move in life, hope it's something that brings you happiness.

I tried doing my part at replacing white people by marrying my Latina hottie, but my kids just came out white. 🤷‍♂️

But Fr, fuck this and every racist.

Absolutely my bad, just completely went to Bruce rather than Caitlin, sorry it was just a brain fart.

Of course they exist, Bruce Jenner is always trying to maintain his relevance politically, there's definitely quite a few other "celebrity" types who are also outspoken gay Republicans, sorry just jot sure why you added that caveat.

Those Republicans that you know are quite naive about the threat coming for them, and it's not like the Christian right hasn't been systematically taking over the Republican party for decades, my go to for this topic is Barry Goldwater's famous quote:

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

As well as this quote:

I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are?

Sounds like they're just trying to blame NY state for their strict gun laws, which seem to work pretty well for the state, since NY is the only top 5 population state also listed with the lowest gun violence, while cost cutting at an outdated expensive plant.

If Remington cared about their company history then they would build their headquarters there or build a museum, but they don't, they just care about money and people obsessed with guns.

LGBTQ Republicans be like: "but we're the good ones right? Right??"

I'm just glad to see I was right when I judged you a prick, but don't worry my sensitivities are just fine because I'm enjoying myself rather than being a miserable hater online.

Well so sorry I don't meet your silly metrics for football fandom. 🤷‍♂️

I mean you're judging me based on finding a little bit of entertainment from commercials during a game, how else am I supposed to take it? Also don't turn this around on me, you're being the judgemental prick here about something dumb AF.

Also a pretty weird stance to take considering how you're saying you're not a fan, like who are you to judge my fandom especially when apparently you are not a fan?

Again, this all goes back to how about not being a judgemental prick and letting people enjoy what they enjoy?

Yeah I'm not big interested football, I only played until college, play fantasy football every season for almost two decades, once had a blog about my team, but sure I'm not that big into football at all. /s

I don't understand why you have to make assumptions about me based on your personal biases? Especially when you're wrong. Also not sure why people can't just enjoy non-football things while watching football.

Not liking the commercials or the halftime show doesn't make you more of a fan than somebody else, it just makes you sound like an elitist douche buzzkill, let people like things without being a prick about it.

Even the players seem to embrace this as a motto around the NFL.

The career span of an NFL player is crazy short, and you're one hundred percent right, these guys are often permanently damaged from decades playing football just to get to the NFL.
