  • For salaried workers.

    Salary workers almost never get paid overtime and generally make more “per hour” than the standard hourly wage already anyway. Also, you literally cannot be forced to work more than 40 hrs a week when salaried. This is also the terms that are agreed to by both parties (usually by contract) before employment begins. Kind sounds to me like if you want to be a salaried employee AND make overtime, that you should negotiate that before beginning employment.

    I’m not getting the argument here.

    I didn’t say anything about not allowing representation.

    Honestly, my main gripe here is that an intensely emotional scene that is held in such high regard because of the story and context, has been cheapened by adding a sociopolitical slant to it! This moment (which I know does not occur in the book the same way), is about the Mighty King Aragorn, facing his death willingly in service of his friend Frodo.

    That’s it and that’s all. In the context it’s a powerful moment that makes ALL PEOPLE (except maybe sociopaths) feel a sense of honor and comradery for two beloved characters.

    It’s not a fucking allegory for “kids who haven’t even hit puberty yet should be allowed to transition!!”

    Please feel free to create any new story of any kind that represents absolutely every subgroup of person who feels marginalized! (it would have to be a 30 season slog with incessant infighting about which group is more marginalized and thus deserves more representation than the others).

    But then, of course, nobody would watch it (or at least not enough people to warrant a production company spending so much money on such a project) So, we start the cycle over and the trans movement once again has to pirate another big name IP to feel “really seen” (aka, LOOK AT ME!!!)

    I’m sorry to have to break the news here, but the trans community makes up 1.14% of the population of the US!

    I think, considering this data, that it is OVER represented in modern culture!







  • Are you implying that Trump has “verbatim” said that we will have “death camps”? And that we will “loose all our rights”? And that “he is Hitler”?

    Source please.

    “Why are there so many randomly bold words?” Sorry, I was just trying to match the tone of the room. Nobody listens to you unless you are screaming in their face that they are “literally being assaulted” on the internet. Also, I have to give you SOMETHING to attack beside the actual point! Sure, it’s my formatting that is the REAL problem!
