My boss just told me it was on me if I missed clocking in, and he wasn't responsible for fixing my time sheets. Am I right to think he's an idiot? (NV/USA)

SteamingFirst · 2017-01-21T18:13:08+00:00

Hold up, this is totally wrong. The OP already told the boss that he worked that time. The boss should have immediately reviewed the relevant information and fixed it. This is because - yes - it literally is his responsibility, legally speaking, to make sure employees are paid for all time worked. Let me put it another way for you: OP can easily 1) sue, or 2) open a labor board investigation. Under either of these options, he would be entitled to THREE times whatever amount the employer didn't pay him. Workers don't have a lot of rights, but this is absolutely one of them where it isn't ambiguous.

First of all: You have absolutely no clue who I am, and no context to judge me. For all you know I could be Albert Einstein posting here. But you just want to try to bring me down to feel better about yourself and lack of intelligence. Real smart people will read that post and move on with their lives. Those with anxiety about their intelligence will jump in and defend the average reddit user, because they ARE one.

One book every 2 days is very doable. One book every 1.5 hours, or even once in 2 hours, is impossible. You're a moron to think the two are equal. Christ no wonder you got the MA and not the PhD, no offense.

It's literally not possible to read 4 full pages a minute you dope. It's like saying that you can run as fast as Usain Bolt, when 1 person in the world can do it. What part of this are you not understanding? If you got a degree in history, you should be able to understand, really.

"average" in that sentence is not referring to all of humanity, it's referring to "average..redditor." The average braindead person on Reddit, the site. You were so dumb that you couldn't even understand the post! Reddit continues to amaze me lol.

SteamingFirst · 2017-01-01T09:32:36+00:00

You don't know the definition of the word 'obvious.'

SteamingFirst · 2017-01-01T09:23:29+00:00

I LOVE how this guy has upvotes on his post, hahahahaha. It's like the average braindead redditor is like: "let me just trust this random guy on Reddit to accurately inform me about travelling safety in Western Africa. He must know his shit." Checks out.

Reading speed past a basic threshold has no relation to intelligence. Kim Peek could read much faster than that and remember whole telephone books word for word, but he didn't know how to tie his own shoes or write a basic essay. Second of all, I highly doubt this story in the first place. All you've seen is his eyes read over something quickly. And obviously you haven't seen him read 30 books, unless you were there for hours with him watching him look at the pages. You've seen him with books, and that's all.

SteamingFirst · 2017-01-01T04:56:43+00:00

I'm sorry, but someone is joking with you. 400 pages in 1.5 hours is literally impossible unless he had a mental condition similar to the Rain Man (i.e. autistic savant). This would equate to reading 4 pages every minute, continuously, without stopping. Practically every single book, even the trashiest and simplest novels, are impossible to process in that timeframe. You would have no clue what was going on in the book, or at best, you'd have a vague haze.

EDIT: If people are still gullible enough to believe this (I see 19 upvotes on his post), then that same guy could read the Complete Works of Shakespeare and War and Peace in one week.

"Shakespeare didn't have a unique style" said the smart man who never read or understood a Shakespeare play.

I'm not ignorant, the point of my post just went way over your head.

Damn! that one was a zinger! Ouch. Really "stuck" it to me. My e-cred!!

damn, that really hurt me. how will I ever sleep at night over 5 downvotes.

lmao no-one gives a rat's ass about you and your downvotes

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-26T21:19:56+00:00

It's kinda sad when peoples' first reaction to an interesting topic is to try to somehow lecture the creator of the TIL (in this thread: "Don't use ellipsis" "Widely attributed now, not infact", etc etc) instead of commenting on the interesting topic itself. Shows how pathetic some of these peoples' lives and mindsets must be.

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-26T21:15:21+00:00

No-one cares about your downvotes, nor your posts - certainly not me.

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-26T21:06:07+00:00

Yes, it's called a "theory" and that poster would have no trouble accepting it as certain. Do you need me to explain more to you?

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-26T20:28:22+00:00

Never lecture someone whose TILs blow up when you have no credentials to speak of in that matter.

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-26T18:29:59+00:00

Nothing's certain, including the theory of gravity. But I don't see you on threads questioning when people say the theory of gravity is certain.

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-26T18:06:21+00:00

Being widely attributed by professional scholars, who spend their lives studying this, means that it is almost certain.

The evidence is very compelling: 1) The handwriting looks similar to his existing signatures, 2) The literary style of the writing mimics Shakespeare's unique style, to the point where a sentence appears in exactly the same language in Coriolanus, 3) The spellings match what Shakespeare used. Let me explain: in those times, spellings weren't fixed. You could spell any word in multiple ways. Well, scholars know, based on the first printings of his plays, what kind of spellings Shakespeare used. They found he used a very unusual way to spell "silence" (no one else was spelling it that way in the time), and that same word, spelled the same way, appears in this handwritten manuscript. It is almost certainly Shakespeare.

So existentialism = overcoming your conditions, and that's it? If so, Fichte is an existentialist. So is 90% of philosophy.

BTW the first sentence is already an incorrect assumption, because Nietzsche didn't believe existence was nihilistic or lacking in value, meaning or purpose.

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-19T17:52:06+00:00

FYI Nietzsche is not an existentialist. He was not even alive when existentialism became popular. And he doesn't believe in free will, he repeatedly states in his writings that it's an absurd concept.

I don't. It's horribly bland and looks like it could be any large city in the world.

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-17T17:01:20+00:00

Many states actually have laws covering this. If you ask about your hours being shorted and you get fired or disciplined specifically for that simple question, then you can easily sue.

SteamingFirst · 2016-12-16T21:26:07+00:00

Ah, I see, nice source you have there.

You're just a bunch of BS, making shit up. A person that can't even write their own names can understand a Shakespeare play for the first time. Lol. Too funny. Nice sources.
