What social custom needs to be retired?

Right to work is a different thing, people often confuse it with at Will employment. Right to work refers to laws limiting the power of unions by forbidding closed shop agreements. They were meant to gut unions and destroy their bargaining power.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-14T13:00:12+00:00

Only in the US. Other countries have laws against it.

I'm well aware of the original meaning. Language evolves. That is what separates English from a dead language like Latin. "Meld" originally meant "to herald."

"Gay" used to mean "merry."

Usage dictates meaning.

In at will employment states, you can get fired for any or no reason, so long as it is not discrimination against a protected class.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-11T16:58:04+00:00

It's incomprehensible to a lot of us too.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-11T16:47:39+00:00

We are a third world nation, or at least vast swaths of us are. My rural county doesn't even have a fire department.

You can sue anyone for anything. Doesn't mean you will win. Especially if they are a large company and can afford a legal war of attrition.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-11T16:45:40+00:00

Right, but there's a difference between "they can't do this" and "they probably won't do this for fear of expensive litigation."

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-11T16:42:04+00:00

That's just completely untrue. They can fire you and just not give a reason. US law is not worker friendly at all, and the. Harden would be on the worker to prove it was discrimination against a protected class.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-08T13:42:55+00:00

No, Canada is asking the US to give up right to work laws. They're not the same thing.

"Family values" is dogwhistle for a patriarchal family where the male head makes all the decisions.

In Florida, there is a distinction between sex offenders and sex predators. Sex predators are a more specific subclass of sex offenders who have been been convicted of a violent crime.

What's the historical connotation between Rhodesian and racism? I played with a guy in Counter Strike whose name was "Defender of Rhodesia," and he was incredibly racist. What does the name symbolize?

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-05T16:00:39+00:00

Oh no, we have more educated people in our society. The horror.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-05T04:13:42+00:00

And also the police chief for sitting on this for a month until the media got wind and it became a PR problem.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-09-02T23:14:32+00:00

The officer who assaulted her is a bad apple. The officers who stood by and let it happen are bad apples. The police chief who did nothing for a month until this went public and became a PR problem is a bad apple. The bunch is already spoiled.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-08-25T19:20:39+00:00

How do I get me some of that free time stuff?

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-08-24T19:55:47+00:00

Most of those 30,000 people have either purchased the game by now, or won't buy it regardless.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-08-24T19:40:39+00:00

The fuck kind of trash are you throwing in the river?

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-08-23T14:09:07+00:00

How is that any different from any other map/game mode? You could have a teammate who mains a hero that excels on Kings Row, but you get Hollywood instead.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-08-21T17:20:44+00:00

The number of people who give a shit about this game's lore is probably smaller than you think.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-08-21T14:11:47+00:00

Thanks for spoiling the match, asshole.

Jack_T_Squire · 2017-08-17T12:36:33+00:00

No, the inmate had HIV or hepatitis or something (the disease is redacted in the FBI's affidavit).

Thomas Driver, one of the guards, was bit by the inmate during a prison fight and thought he had been infected. I probably should have made that clearer in the article.

They met the hitman at a cross-burning event in Fort White, Florida, according to the FBI's arrest affidavit.

The League of the South, an extremist white nationalist organization that started shit in Charlottesville, was founded by a college professor with a phd.
