I’m not an employer but ok.

Well, maybe you should go fix those problems. You know, instead of whining that you have to look at your phone occasionally when you already spend your precious time arguing with me on Lemmy.

I think there is a difference between being on call and being expected to text your boss sometimes. You could literally just check your phone once a day at the same time and it would be fine. Maybe they should throw you a dime for that few seconds of grueling labor, but I don’t really give a shit.

Because everything important happens during every employees working hours, and it is inconceivable that a plan could change for any reason while you aren’t clocked in.

If you want work to get done you have to be coordinated. Just text back, its not that fucking hard.

I would agree that your boss shouldn’t expect you to answer at all hours of the day or even remotely quickly, but if you literally never answer anything then I have very little sympathy for you when you get fired.

No, sometimes you just need to tell an employee something, and then have them verify they understand the information. In my opinion that does not qualify as work.

I’m sorry but I don’t think its that crazy to want your employees to communicate with you outside of working hours.

Because people receiving the death penalty theoretically did something wrong, and fetuses did not. I’m neither against abortion nor pro death penalty, and I don’t really see a contradiction there.

I did more research and I found out it actually isn’t standard where I live now, I am misremembering probably because I haven’t had many interactions with police here. This is a somewhat standard practice in major cities though which would explain why I was familiar with it. I will admit copaganda probably reinforced that though, most media I’ve seen does depict 2 officers. But whatever, I’m always happy to learn a new reason to hate cops.

No, I am thinking of what I have seen in real life. In my area there is almost always 2 cops per vehicle. I was unaware this was not standard.

I haven’t seen that before. I guess they really are just using a laptop and driving at the same time.

I don’t want to be the guy defending cops, but there is usually more than one officer in a squad car. There is no rule against a passenger being distracted.

I think its ok to enjoy art from terrible people as long as it isn’t actually about their problematic aspects, and you are avoiding directly supporting that person by giving them money or drawing a lot of attention to them. Plus in this case there were a lot more minds involved than just Cosby’s.

I use pomade and it surprised me how often its branded like that. I have seen at least three brands that unironically use flaming skeletons. Also I have to say dapper dan is not great (at least the modern kind).

Edit: Apparently the modern kind is the only kind. O Brother just made it up, and someone took the design and made it real in 2011.

Well I don’t know what that is but my educated guess is 3.5

My public school in Louisiana had very similar toilet paper. I’m not sure if its actually the same, but it certainly looks like it.

Always is a real stretch, but I get your point. The reason is that being angry is easier than being happy.

The winner of a political debate is whoever the audience likes more. It unfortunately has nothing to do with being a reasonable person.

There’s a small town in Missouri I visited named Versailles and its pronounced ver-sails.

Air travel is an infinitely more complex and involved problem to solve. There is no method of safely flying without going through mountains of bullshit first.

So you do know what I’ve been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.
