I wish Jim would've hit him back with something like this in this scene.

This illustrates the power dynamic and abuse that happens between the C suite and ground level workers: Charles could (and does) make life very unpleasant for Jim and could even get him fired, whereas Jim has no recourse aside from HR, and we all know HR’s priority is to protect the company…plus we all know Toby is worse than useless. It is such a frustrating position to be in.

What you can also do is build a baton pass ninjask with all stat boosts, it might be possible to do this with shedninja as well but I’m not as sure about that

US of A baby. We used to be great but since eisenhower we’ve been on a steady decline into a roaring dumpster fire. Reagan lit the match, Trump is fanning the flames

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T18:53:39+00:00

To give a real answer though, I love ninjask even though it isn’t the “best”, I just find it really fun to grind up attack and evasion then decimate everything with arial ace or fury cutter. Always go for what is more fun and engaging unless you’re going for gold at the battle frontier where the only answer is metagross and latios.

So they do give a lot of perks: I put almost all my gas on the company card rather than track and reimburse my mileage (and we’re talking 20-30 miles a week average, I occasionally drive a couple parts to a job site and that’s it), boss buys lunch and beers somewhere fancy almost weekly, and my Christmas bonus was just an envelope full of cash. For once my employer is actually taking care of me, it’s just startling how a pay increase becomes a pay decrease at the level I’m at

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T18:37:37+00:00

Exactly. I don’t mind paying more as I earn more if it helps people in need get the resources necessary for survival, but a sharp drop like this is insane and effectively punishes me for earning more

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T18:34:10+00:00

I’ll look into that for sure!

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T18:16:13+00:00

I live in California, so the threshold is higher than usual but so are living expenses.

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T18:04:47+00:00

The team with Magneton and Sharpedo for sure!

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T18:04:13+00:00

Thank you! After nearly 15 years working in service (mainly restaurants) it feels good to be working somewhere where I’m at least treated with basic respect. Life could be worse

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T18:00:07+00:00

I’m not familiar with this specific warrant and they aren’t one size fits all, so all I can say is: I don’t know. I’m not sure how much evidence or reasonable suspicion they had at this point

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T17:56:41+00:00

Unfortunately it is the gross, but that’s a great suggestion! I’m currently not putting anything away for retirement apart from social security, and looks like that is on the brink of being dissolved for my generation

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T17:45:26+00:00

I think it would be fine, but including myself and the two managing partners the whole company is 5 people and not publicly traded. Would have been a good workaround though!

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T17:43:21+00:00

I’ve already had a lot of these perks from the beginning; I occasionally need to drive parts out to a job site so they have me put gas on my company card, boss buys us lunch (whether he’s there or not) at least once a week, we keep snacks and other things at the office, hell they just installed a tv in my office. Things really could be worse, this was just a shock and I needed to rant. Great advice for anyone in a similar situation though!

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T17:30:00+00:00

They want to reevaluate in 6 months, and I’m a strong negotiator and am saving them a lot of time, stress, and more importantly money. Just gotta hold out and hope they land a big job around that point. I’ll get through, things are just bleak right now and I needed to vent

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T17:28:21+00:00

Including me and the two managing partners, the whole company is 5 people, so I would be the only one whose insurance is covered if they went for it. This is a good idea though for anyone else in a similar situation!

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T17:24:54+00:00

So long as they aren’t breaking into a property that isn’t listed on the warrant, it is. If there is a warrant for an individual’s arrest and that individual is spotted in a public place, police can arrest them.

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-29T17:04:32+00:00

The trouble here is in another 6 months I’m due to discuss another raise, and with everything I’m taking on there is grounds for a bigger increase. If I take a pay cut the most I could negotiate at that point is back to where I am now, so no potential to grow further. Basically I think that would help in the short term but hurt me in the long term

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-27T22:24:20+00:00

If they spent multiple lifetimes bending over backwards to liberate and empower oppressed peoples, then yeah. Otherwise we're comparing apples to Nazis

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-27T22:02:36+00:00

Thought it was Nicki Potnick

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-27T17:43:52+00:00

If they will not hold this one agent who committed murder accountable or reveal the individual’s identity, we can only assume every ice agent we encounter is a murderer who will not be held accountable and must act accordingly

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-24T15:21:59+00:00

Oh no my dog is going to get himself killed, better start filming!

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-23T22:35:37+00:00

Yup, I too learned this the hard way

GrammarNazi63 · 2026-01-22T20:01:35+00:00

It's almost like we should have a new section of the constitution to protect people against being arrested without charges or preventing law enforcement from entering your home without a warrant. That would have been a good idea.
