So it seems like there are generally two thought processes here. One being,

"When you're insanely strong, fast, and overall skilled, it's totally possible to knock out multiple people because each blow is either going to knock out or send them flying. I can see Mike Tyson winning because of this."

and the other being,

"No matter how awesome a fighter you are, five bigass men are gonna be enough going to overwhelm you. This ain't like the movies, son!"

@the0rebirth, guess this wasn't as clear-cut as I thought it'd be. lol

If they can grab him then yes but only if they worked together and didn't hesitate

This. Like 5 (competent) cops could do it but probably not 5 Joe schmoes of the street.

There's a story about Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell getting into a scrap with some guys outside a bar once years back. Supposedly Tito stayed out in the open and ended up getting KOed, but Chuck backed up to a wall so they had to come to him and knocked out like 5 of them before they decided to leave.

That's pretty impressive.

I have two friends who think Mike Tyson would still somehow obliterate everyone. Their argument is basically that he's insanely strong & fast, and that nobody's hits are going to hurt him. lol Mike Tyson is obviously an exceptional boxer, but holy shit, you'd have thought we were talking about The Incredible Hulk with the way my friends described him lmao

If five dudes who were all 6'0"-6'3" and 200+ pounds straight-up jumped Mike Tyson in an attempt to physically overwhelm him, do you think Mike would still manage to beat all of their asses and come out on top?

The reality is that the ways BH existed and dealt with mental illness/darkness was a masculinist lens. The fan base of BH (most dudes who like BH) dont like T&B because . . . misogyny. It deals with sexual assault, Tucas abusive relationship with her aunt/Tuca dealing with alcoholism and sobriety. And Netflix wont renew because they were talking to the wrong people.

I truly believe that

Thank you for giving such a thoughtful response. You criticized the idea of raising the minimum wage without having a psychotic who cares about fast-food/retail workers? attitude, which is more than I can say for most.

I mean, it's thoughtful, but the thoughts are effectively useless.

as I mentioned, SailorGoon is interpreting this as an issue that individuals can resolve on their own. while it can be done for some individuals in some cases, it's extremely unproductive to talk about the issues in that way when so many people are making minimum wage.

I've addressed the problem with that line of thinking numerous times from numerous people, and none of them have ever actually engaged with the idea beyond the "agree to disagree" cop-out. it's really frustrating and it prevents actual constructive dialogue on the issues

Fair enough. What would you consider a viable solution?

I will admit why I'm probably more biased about this than anyone. For years I bussed tables or folded towels working minimum wage. They were shitty jobs for sure, but I was able to make ends meet. Of course I had to live frugally.

When people tell me minimum wage isn't liveable, I get skeptical. Are they living within their means? Because I feel like more often then not, unless they are a single parent, they aren't financially responsible. Of course minimum wage isn't liveable if you want to live in a nice neighborhood and have a car and nice things. Everyone does.

I wanted nice things too. So what I did was live within my means. Saved up my money, and went to school for a profitable career.

Min Wage was like 8 bucks at the time, but I managed to make it on my own. I just lived within my means. I think that if I can make it on my own in Cali then most people nationwide can do it too.

It sucked, but I wasn't in poverty. Had a really shitty place in Gardena which is Compton lite. I mean, my rent was barely hitting 700 a month. That should speak a lot since Cali isn't seen as a cheap place to live. Saved on insurance and payments since I relied on public transit. Didnt eat out to save costs on food. Like really, budget. Shit, I probably could've saved more if I roomed with someone. It sucks but you're not entitled to all the nice things with min wage job. There's so many to pick from and easily attainable. They aren't meant to be careers. They're stepping stones. All you need are the basic necessities.

Again, if it's not liveable then you either aren't living within your means or you've got mouths to feed. In which case I'd advocate for revised tax credits since those are geared to assist those with families.

And I'm not entirely against a wage increase. I just think that there are better alternatives. And I don't think that 15 is a good number. Cost of living isn't standardized so wages shouldn't be either. You wanna talk about what's fair or unfair but make people in rural areas close down their businesses because they can't tank the hits while Walmart can. Additionally now you have the guys working their min Wage jobs in Ohio or Iowa living the comfy bachelor life now when they were already getting a liveable wage and the single parents in LA are still struggling. Yes that's fair.

If there were to be a wage increase I don't think we should do a flat singular wage. I like the direction Oregon is going. They have 3 different minimum wages that account for cost of living and production etc. But before we do that I'd say try and work on the tax credits because iirc there are literally no risks or comparable disadvantages. If that doesn't work then maybe a min wage increase is necessary.

I'm just saying look at all our options and look at what the problem really is and see which option caters most to the real issue.

Thank you for giving such a thoughtful response. You criticized the idea of raising the minimum wage without having a psychotic who cares about fast-food/retail workers? attitude, which is more than I can say for most.

And who's fault is that exactly? And why should they care?

There are numerous reasons as to why someone late in age might still be working a menial job. It isnt always a matter of that person just didnt apply themselves.

We should care because basic human compassion.

masticatingman posted...

You didnt even explain in the op why you arent available until 8. The actual reason here seems pretty important.

It's my general availability. I am not to start before 8, and not to stay beyond 4. Sometimes I am willing to work a little sooner, and a little later. But they definitely shouldn't be scheduling me an entire hour before my availability begins.

The mistake was theirs, not yours. Granted it would be wise to check the schedule sooner just in case, it's still not your fault they scheduled you incorrectly.

Yeah, definitely gonna start looking at the schedule a bit sooner just to prevent situations like this.

And like I said, I'll even meet them halfway by starting at 7:30, just this once.

No. "Just this once" will turn into being asked to do it every time. You said you aren't available until 8, don't go in until 8. I dealt with this for a while with one of my jobs. I'm not available Fridays with them, I'm at my other job, and they nagged and nagged. Sorry not sorry, that's what I put down when you hired me, deal with it or fire me. And I'm still there.

"Professional etiquette" is not scheduling people at times they told you they can't come in. Fuck 'em.

Honestly, it feels cathartic to hear this lol that's pretty much what I told me friend, and he insisted that it doesn't matter because I didn't notice the error until the day before (which I guess means it'd be inconsiderate of me to correct them at this point, lol)

I feel like it shouldn't really matter when I noticed. Like, yeah, it's more inconvenient to them if I notice late, but it's not my fault that they fucked up in the first place! They have my availability in writing. I should be able to safely assume that whatever I work will be between the hours of 8 a.m. & 4 p.m., on the days I am designated to work.

Alteres posted...

Well, if you do go in no complaints they will probably keep scheduling you as you obviously are available...

If I go in at 7 tomorrow, I'd clarify right away that I'm not supposed to start that early and let them know that I'm only doing it as a courtesy. But the reason I'm even debating on calling in is because frankly, that extra hour of sleep make a difference. And like I said, I'll even meet them halfway by starting at 7:30, just this once.
---

I don't hold grudges. Let's vehemently argue today and casually have a beer together tomorrow.

I see that they have me listed to start at 7 a.m.. The earliest I can work is 8 a.m., as per my established availability. In other words, they fucked up. But to be fair, the schedule's been posted for weeks; I'm just now looking at it, as I tend to only check a day or two in advance.

Would I be in the wrong to call in and say that I can't start at 7? My friend says that despite it being a mistake on their part, my timing is too last-minute and I would therefore become the "bad guy" if I tried to change things at this point. Do you agree? Hell, I'd even be willing to start at 7:30 just to compromise...
