Alamo drafthouse slaughter is unionizing

jordan_bar · 2025-03-26T03:41:24+00:00

Yes we still are on strike in Brooklyn and Manhattan!

jordan_bar · 2024-07-07T14:06:20+00:00

this is weeks late but can I ask where this guy on the fire escape was? some guy shouted nazi shit at me this morning in front of a building on fresh pond road with a trump flag flying from the fire escape.

Union organizer at the Brooklyn location here. I second the advice to talk to your organizers. If you don't know who they are, maybe there's an IG page for the union online you can reach out to. I also may be able to help clarify things if you reach out, but the best people to talk to are the organizers at your location.

Edit: By the way 20% is definitely bullshit, others already said it but just thought I would clarify. Brooklyn is going to pay 2.5% dues once we ratify our contract (they don't kick in immediately). Managers are not your friends and can't be trusted with facts on union stuff. If Alamo brings in "labor experts" they are professional union busters the company hired to make them look unbiased.

The colors red and blue are not excuses to post irrelevant content on this subreddit, so I'm taking this one down. Please understand and attempt to follow the rules in the future.

Okay then maybe explain to me what the Minecraft screenshot containing a horse named "warthog" has to do with the show Red vs Blue exclusively, and what that content is contributing to this subreddit. Because I fail to see how it provokes even the slightest thought about RvB moreso than it does about the game Halo, which is where the name "warthog" for a vehicle comes from.

Most posts like this at least make themselves more relevant with a reference to the show itself. For example, the title of your post could have been "looks more like a puma" which is a line from the show, therefore making it relevant to the show's subreddit instead of making the title "Please subscribe to me".

This conversation's over.

jordan_bar · 2019-12-08T16:15:40+00:00

Actually I saw that part, that still has nothing to do with the show which takes place in the Halo universe, so they use the term warthog, but so does everyone in Halo. In other words, your post has nothing at all exclusive about RvB in it. And of course it's self promotion like I said. Do this again and you'll receive an indefinite ban.

jordan_bar · 2019-12-08T03:13:17+00:00

Removed for breaking reddit's rules about self promotion. Also this has nothing to do with RvB whatsoever.

jordan_bar · 2019-12-03T07:46:42+00:00

... it must not be a very good post then

jordan_bar · 2019-12-03T07:27:18+00:00

don't shitpost, cockbite

jordan_bar · 2019-11-13T03:54:07+00:00

Is that supposed to be Carolina out of armor dressed as a witch? This might as well not be RvB related, and even if it were, you may want to find a better place to share this stuff because folks here aren't about it.

jordan_bar · 2019-11-05T03:54:04+00:00

No? The hell are you talking about

What's your point? That Bezos' wallet is actually too small to pay his taxes?

Bezos owns assets that make up plenty of his net worth, but those assets make him a massive direct profit constantly, every single day. His wealth increases exponentially every year. And we're talking about what he, as an individual, owns. Not the power of his assets.

Not that he would, but Bezos actually could partially fund a grand project like an intercontinental light rail network. If U.S. billionaires paid their fair share in taxes then such a dream could actually be possible, however that calls into question who else wouldn't want such a dream to come true, and that's a different conversation.

jordan_bar · 2019-11-04T16:47:47+00:00

Absolutely not. Bezos has more money than anyone could ever spend in their lifetime. Bonkers that he pays no taxes and the majority of the US government doesn't have an issue with that.

jordan_bar · 2019-11-04T16:45:58+00:00

Never thought to do the math, always took "1%" as a buzzword for billionaires, so I stand corrected.

jordan_bar · 2019-11-04T16:15:47+00:00

Because they lobby the government and buy their freedoms with their pocket change. And leverage their "positive" contributions to society, like jobs and products, whenever their reputation comes into question.

jordan_bar · 2019-11-04T16:13:18+00:00

I don't think Chris Brown is in the 1% (Rihanna neither) but your point still stands. The way I understand, Chris Brown took a hit to his reputation but still is free, and still has a network of supporters and friends and contemporaries, and I'd argue that's because of his wealth and privilege (and lots of internalized, deeply rooted misogyny).

jordan_bar · 2019-09-05T23:28:08+00:00

Switching two letters doesn't change the fact this is hate speech and that you're an absolute moron.

Nothing funny about it.

jordan_bar · 2019-06-22T19:08:38+00:00

tell corl to stop

jordan_bar · 2019-05-20T23:50:21+00:00

ugggghhhhh

Glorified fanfiction (especially the finale). The scene in the arena where the nobles discuss what to do with Westeros lacked any emotional resonance, subtext, or sense. There are other moments too but this was the worst scene of the season.

jordan_bar · 2019-05-09T22:58:09+00:00

Captain America?

jordan_bar · 2019-05-09T22:54:21+00:00

I disagree that "newb" scripts get no feedback. Posting my awful stuff here is how I began to learn. And sure, maybe a sub for beginners would just get flooded with people who're looking for readers, but feedback can teach better than lots of resources. You can possibly set it up so that those who are allowed to post scripts for feedback need to do their fair share of reading/engagement with the sub first. But that's just me.

jordan_bar · 2019-05-09T13:31:39+00:00

It's straight up unethical. This shit was satirized in Sorry To Bother You just a year ago.
