Please don't take offense, but the only thing making you work the extra time... is YOU. The manager is breaking the law to require you to be there during your lunch hour, so use the power of your feet and leave for that time. If they fire you, turn them in and let the state or feds go after them.
Plus, why would any sane person keep working for a company that is willing to lie so blatantly to you? Have you checked to ensure you are getting the other benefits they promised? Have you been able to take the vacation time you supposedly earned? Maybe you should...
If the "mistaken" news organization trumpets the original on page one and buries the correction on page 27 (like nearly all printed sources, and many TV presenters) then correcting the original means little.
If they fix the posted story (like websites can and sometimes do) AND leave the information that the story was updated then yes, they can keep a bunch of credibility.
If, however, they pull down the original story and post a different story WITHOUT posting the fact that they have updated things, then no, they get no points for credibility. Getting it wrong should matter if you are in the news business. Getting it FIRST instead of getting it RIGHT is one of the most annoying things the "news" organizations do these days... YMMV.
See, that is the kind of lazy use of English that makes people not listen to you, Ami.... your "resisting the government trying to deport your family" can also be written as "legally deporting people who are in the country illegally, many of whom have made no effort to become citizens"" and your "take away the healthcare that is keeping you alive" can be written as "I just want to make up false stories about what might be in a healthcare bill I never read". Please try to stick to facts if you intend to malign large groups of people, some of whom are more than tired of your slant on things.
Why, because they can't subtract? The US didn't magically come into existence when the Civil Rights Laws were passed (to pick one date for arguement's sake) the origination date was in 1776. (2017-1776=241... or ~250 in political speech.)
The amount of freedom has (mostly) waxed and (sometimes, see Manzanar) waned but the goal, the concept of America as a free nation has been around since that date.
Perhaps you mean to argue that those groups are still not free. If so, bring us your arguement so we may gaze upon it and become learned.
So you are saying that as a non-customer who has become accustomed to the use of a service you are NOT paying for these providers should not be able to prioritize network bandwidth or "speed" for the benefit of their paying customers? Well, why didn't you say so, of course we should do things your way. Here is your unicorn-shaped-balloon and a can of WTF. Enjoy, guy-whose-opinion-makes-no-bit-of-difference!
Oddly enough, I read the original article and at no point did they say President Trump HAD actually threatened to kill the merger, instead they were just stirring the pot by suggesting he COULD. The second article allegedly quotes an unidentified WH insider as saying that President Trump liked the idea, but again did NOT say he had made any such threat.
It may be true, of course, but this is just a big nothing burger again... it would be just as true to say the "President Trump could dispense the contents of Fort Knox to veterans and the elderly." I expected better of ArsTechnica.. Feel free to hate on the President for what he has actually done, but every time you bandwagon one of these claims you help to bolster the 'fake news' arguement.
And no, I voted for the lesser johnson, Gary, not the Donald.
Re this section:
You think the government should be able to limit profits and capital?
It already does, via taxation. There are numerous other limitations placed on companies too.
No, the government does NOT get to limit profits and capital directly, that is a minor secondary effect of taxation. Were they to attempt to make it a primary effect (like you do in England/UK/Europe et al - remember when the Beatles were in the 98% tax bracket? Pepperidge Farms remembers!) we WOULD see a revolution. We Americans like the practice that if we work harder/longer/etc we get more for our efforts, and having the government penalize us for doing so would NOT be tolerated here.
Those are all good reasons a reader may not have read the article in question, so why then would such a non-reader feel qualified to comment upon the article? If this blocks out those who were not able to (or more likely, couldn't be bothered to) read the article don't we all GAIN from not having their uninformed commentary?
I believe you meant tacit (understood or implied without being stated) where you used tactic (an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end.) Unless that was your tactic, of course. Or was it all just strategery?
I used to have a copy... like many of Brooks works, I found it more fun to talk about than to read. Mod points would indeed be worth more than the novel, if not the kingdom.
Did you miss this sentence? "While the origin of the plants on Schmeiser's farm in 1997 remains unclear, the trial judge found that with respect to the 1998 crop, "none of the suggested sources [proposed by Schmeiser] could reasonably explain the concentration or extent of Roundup Ready canola of a commercial quality" ultimately present in Schmeiser's 1998 crop.[5]"
I agree. I'm all for those who followed the procedures and became lawful immigrants and give zero fscks for those whose want to immigrate into the USA is greater than their willingness to follow the immigration laws. What other laws are they going to decide are unimportant?
Look, either citizenship is important or it's not. If you choose to think the US is a giant economic house party that can keep inviting in cool kids from around the world then you plainly don't care about citizenship. Fine, lead with that.
Myself, I think it DOES matter, even if most of us are US Citizens by birth. I vote, and pay taxes, and contribute to worthy causes in my community, and try to be a good American. Those other cool kids are likewise citizens of their birth countries, and they ought to be celebrating that and working to fix their own countries, not coming here because things are better economically.
Hugo Weaving does a fabulous job as the titular character, and you never get to see his face. It's nothing but manner, voice, and movement, but you forget for long periods of the film that it's NOT his face.
You already said they want to be hands on - why not start with the physical device and then go to the code. Disassemble a PC and explain the parts. Talk about similarities and differences between a PC and a digital watch or other embedded computing device. THEN start talking about code, and how the device and code interact. Leave the OS wars for later.
Perhaps you are correct about the value of YOUR union, but in my own experience with two somewhat-non-technical unions (IATS&E, and another national one I won't name) I was treated as a disposable non-entity whose only purpose was the payment of dues, my verbal or written input was not solicited nor heard, and I never even SAW my union "representative" at the jobsite(s). Ever. NOT EVEN ONCE. I'm not bitter about it (much.) To this day I avoid all "Union Shops" because of those two jobs...
What's your next scoop, attending a recruiting session for ADM and calling their recruiters for the practices of the CEO? Some bottom-level NSA workers get a chance to go to a major university and talk to people they were told wanted to hear about working for the NSA and they get ambushed by you and those toadying up to you. And wasn't it Oh-So-Very-Classy of you, jumping into a session by LYING ABOUT YOUR INTENT so you could call them out for the activities of their bosses. When the recruiters answer your question by pointing out that the Administration (President Obama and his folks, you may recall) sets the agenda for targeting of intelligence collection you played silly word games, ignoring the multi-colored truth for your own black-and-white world view. You are a fine example of the navel-gazing hypocrisy of what-passes-for J-school these days.
TL,DR: You think everybody should be like you, and you are wrong. Grow up, why doncha!
That's funny, people say that "surely these violent behaviors you watch MUST have a negative effect" yet every study finds no evidence for the claim. And now the corresponding viewing of "good | prosocial" behaviors ALSO shows no effect. Maybe we all are actually able to differentiate between inputs and choose to or not to model them.
Or to put it another way, "I do not think that behavior does what you think it does..."

Here is a perfectly cromulent explanation of what the expression means, and where it came from: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/34793/what-is-the-origin-of-the-phrase-cut-and-dried
The use of past tense is important to the explanation in that 'dried' implies completion where 'dry' does not.
