Oh you meant greater than the commitment they currently have, or a greater commitment than they do to their personal life?

@georgetakei

@scott_guertin

Did you, no where in that quote image does it say anything about "greater commitment"

@georgetakei

@scott_guertin

No one said anything about "greater commitment". Only that a salaried worker's job isnt a 9-5 job. They are expected to work longer hours when needed, sometimes do work after hours, and in exchange they get paid when they take off like vacations.

@georgetakei

@scott_guertin

Salaried employees are expected to make a fix amount no matter how much they are paid. That is the bargain.

@AmpBenzScientist Just how keto friendly we talking? I get very few carbs to spare.

@AmpBenzScientist All of the major ones, half of the obscure ones... honestly its too many to name.

@AmpBenzScientist

Inconceivable!

You keep a' using that word. I do not think it a' means, what you think it a' means!

@MattHatton

I sat here for a good long time trying to think up a way someone might possibly derive enjoyment from microsoft word. I can only come up with one, and that is the invention of the deranged clippy memes.

I am 25 minutes into this movie and I regret this choice so very much.

> ok, let's agree on the fact that police needs real reform and have another police, so they could investigate each other's misbehavior and not covering every situation like "we investigated ourselves and concluded that we did nothing wrong". Police should be held to way higher standards than regular people, and corruption/unlawful behavior should result at least triple punishment

while the last part of triple punishment deserves some debate (not because i disagree but just because its not nuanced enough). The rest I agree with in principle.

I would argue polie should just not have qualified immunity anymore, and in exchange for that we pay them as much as we need to to hire them to put their lives at risk. I am ok paying them MORE if they are actually held accountable.

> but I disagree with this, that not what happened, nobody chocked Floyd, quite the opposite, there is footage that they tried to help him before even ambulance arrived, the famous viral video when cop was kneeling on the neck - it's just wrong perspective of this particular video, body cam showed that cop was holding his knee on shoulder blade which is not a chocking hazard, but they decided to build wrong narrative and didn't bring this footage

Even if we take away the term choking from the equation to give you the benefit of the doubt there.. doesnt matter. After the moment he was clearly lifeless and people said he was looked dead on camera begging them to help him. from that moment they still "pinned him down" for 9 more minute while he lay there dead/lifeless/unconscious. The fact that after 9 minutes of him being dead they finally decided to "help" him is too little too late.

@lowqualityfacts

Whats the point of posting this, like duh, we all know that already buddy.

Am I the only one who can "smell the person" on my food when its dropped off... UIsually whatever soap or colone they use, sometimes a smoke smell.. but no matter what it is I can almost always smell the person.

I saved enough calories and carbs to have a five guys burger with a bun for dinner and not even go over on my diet (except on saturate fat specificially)... Im calling this a win!

@AncientGood

To be clear and put numbers onto it. After George Floyd died and people started screaming he was dead, the police continued to choke the man for over nine minutes.

That alone is all that needs to be said as to why outrage is deserved. Full stop.

Until now I've avoided watching "A Wrinkle In time" the modern remake with Oprah. It just looked too cringy. But being one of my favorite books, and being that the old movie was not half bad, I thought I'd give it a try.

@AncientGood

> oh, I see now that part I missed, thank you for pointing - let me assure that wasn't intentional, just English not being first language sometimes plays jokes with me

I appreciate you saying this rather than digging in. My apologies for my tone as it did seem intentional, or at the very least it is usually intention on the internet. I am legitimately in the wrong for assuming that was the case with you rather than giving you the benefit of the doubt. I will admit your tone about talking about a person suffering with drug addiction gave me a very negative impression of the quality of your character. And while that statement is problematic still I did lean to heavily into that in my tone.

> If not his death, what else could provoke outrage? If he miraculously survived, it would be yet another case of police work - called for crime in progress, arrest, jail, nothing to call home about

Becase how a person acts based on what they perceive is what tells you about their character, not if they get lucky with the consequences or not. If someone shoots at an innocent person trying to kill them they arent a better person if they happen to miss.

The outrage comes from the absolutely deplorable quality of character of the police in handling these situations, the outcome just piles remorse on top of that. Specifically in floyds case, the man choked him well beyond compliance to the point the man appeared dead, to the point people asked if he was dead, and even after people started seeing he was dead he went on to be choked for a very long time rather than giving him medical attention.

Him being dead or not, caused by drugs or not, doesnt change the quality of the character of those cops, the fact that those cops clearly were ok with his death, even wanted his death. Him being easier to kill because of drugs really doesnt exonerate the cops in the least. In fact it has no relevance at all to the morality of the situation.

People cant tell the future, the morality of your actions is the same regardless of if you get lucky with things turn out or not.

Princess bride is literally the only movie with sword fights I actually enjoy.
