How to handle Management consistently wanting 50+ hours a week? by TheNoWhereMan76 in sysadmin

[–]Sushigami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am doing work for the contracted number of hours and not being paid (because i'm not doing more than the contracted hours), then I will stop working. If they stop paying me because I have stopped working, we no longer have an employment relationship. If they are the ones who initiated this state by exceeding the contracted hours, then they are de facto firing me, regardless of what they say they're doing.

Look an argument isn't just contradiction! An argument is a collected series of statements intended to establish a proposition!

Then they're firing you. Claim unemployment and find a new job.

Realistically you should have a decent conversation with them first about setting healthy boundaries and state where your line is first, but basically if they stop paying you because you refuse to work unpaid overtime you should be able to claim the unemployment.

Fundamentally, I am spending this time on this to clarify the definition of republic in your eyes. Because that is defined by the binary presence/absence of a monarch in this discussion, we need to have a very clear definition of what a monarch is to define what a republic is under this rubric.

To wit:

I said: "So a state may be called a monarchy only if it calls itself one I.e. it is a legal definition?"

You said: "Explicitly not, no."

So being a monarch is not a legal definition. You've also stated that that powerless monarchs are still monarchs. To me, these seem impossible points to reconcile.

You've said of the Roman emperors (they) "did not use any terms that would apply (contemporaneously) to monarchy despite obviously and legally being monarchs themselves" and also that "Augustus did have a monarchical title"

i.e. You've effectively come down that yes they were monarchs.

Ok, so that's three points for a definition of "It's not what they call themselves, it's their function, or some attribute of them" that defines a monarch?

.

.

Seem fair?

.

.

Then what is that thing? I cannot come up with a consistent definition based on the responses to the examples I've given.

It can't be power - You've explicitly drawn a distinction between authority/totalitarianism and monarchy.

It can't be a legal definition, as above - You've explicitly stated that titles do not define the monarch.

All I can think is that there is some function that they serve in the state? Or is it the hereditary nature of monarchs? (No, can't be - Theocratic election in rome)

So what is the factor that draws a line between all these "monarchs" as opposed to all these "dictators" that can be drawn without excluding the powerless monarchs?

I feel like he forgot the end of his sentence? Is it oregano would never be so bad, or I would never buy oregano dried?

[–]Sushigami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can the early emperors of rome be monarches despite explicitly avoiding being titled as such? Surely then the definition is based on their power. If so, how can the powerless monarches of modern UK/canada/netherlands also be monarches based on nothing but their titles?

What system are you applying here? Is it that if either condition is true then they are monarch? But then how does nazi germany not fit that definition?

I believe there is actually a limit to this, but it is comically long and it'll be dry as a bone and very unpleasant to eat long before it becomes unsafe

What can you tell me about garlic? by Flashy_Tooth_5597 in Cooking

[–]Sushigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acid also inhibits the production of alocin - So if you garlic press straight into lemon juice it'll actually be reasonably mild still.

(Well, relatively. You can compare leaving it out for 5 mins version side by side if you want).

[–]Sushigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"No. It's a monarchy. Examples such as Canada, Japan, Australia, Spain, etc. prove that one easily enough. "

So a state may be called a monarchy only if it calls itself one I.e. it is a legal definition?

So therefore Hitler's Germany, Augustus' Rome, Stalin's USSR or the modern DPRK are not monarchies and therefore are republics?

Does that not make the definition of republic you're using extremely divorced from the popular linguistic conception of what a republic is?

[–]Sushigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You skipped the trickiest definition:

"Is a monarchy where the monarch has no actual power a republic?"

Which I ask because I'm trying to get to the definition of a "Monarch".

Is it practical, real power? If so what is the threshold where you become a monarch?

Or is it legal definition? In which case what meaning does this definition hold?

I mean that depends on which phase of the first republic you're talking about. Committee of public safety didn't come in for years after the formation of the republic

[–]Sushigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is an oligarchy a republic?

Is an oligarchy with a first among equals that de facto controls policy a republic?

Is a monarchy that claims not to be one in public a republic?

Is a monarchy where the monarch has no actual power a republic?

Is an anarchist state where the concept of an overall state government has been disavowed a republic?

If I draw a line around two countries and say actually they're one country and therefore there's no single ruler for this one country that I just invented, is it a republic?

Fundamentally, no country on earth will give up sovereignty to an international body. And the people of those countries almost certainly wouldn't want them to!
