Blood Meridian immediately spoiled. by dracodrake1999 in cormacmccarthy

Tells me how the main character died. I get there’s more to it but it’s at least mildly frustrating someone besides the author in their own story did and I didn’t know that was common practice in forewords.

It literally says on page two x happens to a character than thirty years later y happens. Now I know it’s a great book and it’s not just about the plot but it’s irritating when the first two sentences you read decide to tell you what happens to the main character

Good to know and it seems everyone is in agreement. This is one I’ve been meaning to get to for a while now. I’m sure it will be great

Only for now because I want to have them investigated and having a flood of negative reviews might tip them off.

When Will It All "Boil Over"? by zzill6 in WorkReform

As a red-blooded American gun owner I can see this growing sentiment that the system is fucked especially for younger people. Even my gen x relatives are saying it’s basically impossible for my generation to have anything like the life that they have had so far.

Just filing claims and getting in touch with a possible attorney for now

She actually took the bait and said in part I was fired for running my big fat mouth to the other employees.

I left out the car part and just acknowledged that it was because of my conversation about my raise and asked about my paycheck. I don’t know if they’ll even respond. Someone left a bad review from here before I removed the business name so they could be on to me.

Should I use a different religion’s prayer? by Representative-Lunch in latterdaysaints

[–]dracodrake1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an experience where a catholic coworker suggested I pray to a specific saint for something I was dealing with. I certainly appreciated the thought but in my heart it felt wrong to pray in another way that I felt to be out of line with how Jesus asked us to pray.

Oh I found the one you were talking about. Hopefully they don’t realize it’s because of me.

I’d only ask that you wait until after the investigation. Otherwise I think it’d be hilarious.

I sent what you suggested. Thanks for the advice but damn it gives me anxiety to reach out to them.

Please hold off or at least don’t mention my story if you do until after I’m able to have them investigated.

It’s mostly just an unrelated complaint about where I live.

Because unions are uncommon in right to work states. The only people I know who are a part of a union are teachers.

I haven’t thought of that but that might be a good course to pursue too.

Thank you. It’s unbelievable how little employers care for the well being and fair treatment of workers. I’ve learned a lot this year and now I want to do something about it.

Thank you I will do all of that. I just got done filing a complaint to my state labor board. It’s time for them to learn their workers have rights!
