You don't even try to hide your fanboyism

I'll give you props for that

I'm not a fanboy. But I hate the DCEU because we're basically stuck with these garbage ass DC movies for the foreseeable future.

Their over-emphasis on trying so hard to NOT be superhero movies makes them not even resemble the comic books that I've read and it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't also fail at being intellectually engaging.

In fact, this exact dynamic existed back in days with the Spider-Man and X-Men movies. Spider-Man kept in tact what we liked about the comic books and captured the fun of the character. The X-Men movies failed to capture the best elements of the X-Men comic books, but at least the X-Men movies (for the most part) were decent.

Remember when Batman killed like 30 people in BvS? Good times

Remember when Zack Snyder said his justification for murdery Batman was because he did it in TDKR, even though he didn't, and that became a major plot point later on?

Their basic opinion on movies is:


"GRIMDARK, TRYING TOO HARD TO BE DEEP = GOOD

They didn't think she was worth it. So they cut her pay.

They didn't think she was worth it, even though they kept her around for 40 years when they apparently could have gotten somebody fresh to fill her role this whole time? That's not making much sense and it's especially not making sense when you consider they asked for her to come back for half a paycheck, when it would have been easier to get and train somebody new for the position, who wouldn't feel bitter and entitled to more pay, if the position is apparently so easy that anybody can do it.

I have nothing else to say

This is all also assuming that they're going to keep somebody in the same exact position for 40 years.


Hell, even after a year or so, the company starts expecting more of you and asks you to do more. I've had coworkers there that were gradually moved up the ladder (with pay raises) and then were kicked back down to the status of regular cashiers in favor of some new blood that didn't know their respective department nearly as well and didn't even end up staying with the job that long. By then, the veterans end up leaving, and you're stuck trying to find somebody that can do their job as efficiently as the veteran.


And if you've never worked a certain position at a particular company, then it'd be best if you didn't make claims about what that position entails and make snap judgments about their value.

Yeah places do this all the time even though it's technically illegal. After someone has been there for that long they're usually way overpaid for the position

I used to work at a supermarket and one of the bakery guys had been there for like 20+ years. He made $28 per hour just putting frozen cookies in the oven all day. You could train a 10 year old to do that

EXACTLY. Voice of reason.

It's a two-way street. She's the one who invested 40 years of her life in a dead-end Walgreens job. Did she go back to school at any point? Or perhaps try and gain a license to sell Insurance or some ways to increase her income/skillset? Or did she just...pretty much go to Wal-greens every day for 40 years?

Then you can just flip it to "Why would you keep an employee around for 40 years and let them make that much money if you don't think they and/or the position is worth it?"

I have nothing else to say

This guy must be like 16, because he has no idea how this type of shit works.


A person who has worked for a company for 40 years, knows more about the company than ANYBODY else there, even more than many of the managers do. On top of that, they have the type of experience that a high schooler or recent college grad won't have.


It's not just about "hurr durr she rung up cashiers for 40 years". Even if she's not in management, she'd be one of the people you turn to when it comes to daily store operations when nobody else knows what the hell to do.

Your comment doesn't even make sense, Gravityfare.


Nobody who works at ANY retailer for 40 years is just going to be some regular, run-of-the-mill cashier.

She's been working there for 40 years. Not too long before I was hired, they had celebrated her 40 years of service to Walgreen's. 2 weeks later, they push her into retiring (because they didn't feel like paying her that much money). Then they bring her back in January, but they're only paying her half of what they did before for the same exact work.

She really needs to shop around and get the best offer for her labor

That's what I'm saying. Doesn't justify how they've treated her though.

She spent 40 years at a Wal-Greens noncorporate location. I mean isn't there a mutual loyalty there? They paid her for 40 years...

Loyalty is standing by your dedicated employees. Not only keeping them around until you no longer feel like paying them what they're worth, even though your stores are making millions, if not, billions per year.

Why is that dirty? She accepted the job, it's not like they're forcing her against her will...

It's dirty because they loopholed their way around paying a 40+ year employee table scraps.


I agree though, if they pulled that shit with me, I wouldn't even think about coming back, but for some people, when you work 40 years with a company, it's basically all you know.

That's the thing about popularity, Batman's dudes are so popular most people think they're the worst criminals in DC's universe and the people Flash,Superman and team green fight aren't nearly as dangerous.

I mean, they're definitely more interesting villains because most of them seem like villains from a psychological thriller more than a comic book, but most powerful? LOL Professor Zoom/Reverse-Flash alone would solo all of them.

It's kinda insane how so overpowered Batman's rogue gallary is that only Batman can stop them from destroying the world

LMAO no, that's awful writing. Superman or the Flash alone could easily beat them all in seconds.

Well, maybe if the Batman villains worked with the villains of other superheroes, but if it was JUST them then lol

However, BLM is about exaggerating a narrative that it's "open season" on black people and that cops are systematically oppressing and murdering blacks without repercussion. This is complete horseshit, and all it does it confirm victim complexes (in people like you) and push people who feel like their lives are in danger into committing violence (like the Dallas sniper).

And this is where you show your complete ignorance regarding race relations.

BLM didn't do shit but publicize a notion that blacks have thought for literal decades, whether you believe it to be an exaggerated narrative or not. People like you who don't actually know anything about the black community (yet feel qualified to comment on it all the time) are just now seeing the boiling point of the tension between blacks and police that have built up over YEARS and are assuming that BLM is responsible for it, when in all actuality they are a BYPRODUCT of it.

Black people didn't need fucking BLM to happen to be scared of the police. What an idiotic notion.

So, it mostly seems to be a survey of officers, and apparently most officers also blame the decriminalization or drugs and the reduction in sentencing for drug offenses for the increase in violence against officers.

Funny how these communities are begging for help, yet don't want help from the police, and they don't want the military to be sent in. I guess they have a magical plan that only they know about.

I think they just want cops to stop beating the shit out of their youth, but sure, let's strawman instead
