Pfft, typical Ed. Getting robbed and giving kompany money away. Where do they fing guys like these?

The economy is fucked and people are desperate.

The minority with money are aware of this and take full advantage. The bartender could have been replaced overnight so he has to follow orders or risk his own security and health.

Workers are cogs. Welcome to Capitalism.

Your first mistake was replying to him

A Las Vegas bartender has filed a lawsuit against his employers for allegedly being forced to pay back money that was robbed from the business at gunpoint.

Edward Parker, 42, was finishing his shift at Lodge Hualapai on 4 December 2020 when a gunman entered the bar and pointed his weapon at him.

Mr Parker was forced to kneel on the ground with his hands on his head while the gunman took all the cash available at the counter, the lawsuit said. The intruder allegedly made off with nearly $4,000 (around 3,000).

Edward was terrified during the ordeal and feared for his life, the lawsuit said.
However, hours later, his employers told him it was his job to pay the money back. They offered him a repayment contract and forced him to work in unfavourable conditions, the lawsuit said. It added that Mr Parker was worried about losing his job and therefore signed it.

Over the next few months, an amount of $300 was reportedly deducted from each paycheck until it equalled the amount stolen by the gunman. The lawsuit also said that this harassment by his employers led him to major anxiety and panic attacks.
However, he had no option but to continue working, he said in the lawsuit.

His ordeal did not end with the repayment. He was later demoted to extra board status, which meant that he would be called in for work only when the bar required it, instead of having a regular job. For months, he did not get any work and now lives outside the state.
Two people were arrested in connection with the robbery. The lawsuit stated that no evidence was found by the police of Mr Parkers involvement in the incident.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Edward knew these individuals or had anything to do with their actions, the complaint said.

This isnt the first time The Lodge, which is made up of several restaurant locations across the Las Vegas Valley, has faced a lawsuit. In 2016, the company was sued by past employees who alleged that they were paid below the minimum wage.

Just to add to this, I actually think its harmful when historical American movies don't use it and depict slavery or segregation in an almost happy way.

Gods and generals springs to mind. No slurs, all of Jacksons slaves are missing, he says he wants slaves to fight in the army as a condition for freedom (never ever ever happened) and all the slaves there are well treated and love their masters. There's no slurs or blood or abuse or violence. Everyone laughing together round the camp.

In trying to be more PC you've actually really disrespected people and altered history in a disturbing way.

She's the most attractive girl you've ever met in your life and you're on a date with her. Except all she seems to talk about is Golduck.

No matter what you say or do, she somehow expertly manages to weave the conversation back to Golduck or an ancedote featuring Golduck.

At one point you go to the toilet and when you get back you see her in mid conversation with the bartender being like "Oh you're from Marseille? You know in France they call Golduck "Akwakwak" what's up with that? Golduck is way better."

And it continues for the whole night.

After the date is over she messages you saying "I had a great time tonight, it was almost as fun as when I soloed Pokemon Yellow with Golduck and beat the Elite 4 at level 47. We should go out again."

I'm sure you or someone else on this board made this exact same topic years ago when they put out the PC principal and safe space episodes.

there's a difference between making fun of PC culture and making fun of basic medical advice and hygiene that saves lives

If there was a group of millions of people refusing to wash their hands after pooping and running around sticking their poopy fingers in strangers mouths, that's not a "both sides " thing. it's objectively stupid and harmful to others

This is effectively what anti mask and anti Vax are doing

And its killing people

The fact it's even considered a "side" as if it's a legitimate view that deserves respect is ridiculous

And she's getting a first hand experience of her intentions for dressing with a statement isn't always going to align with how it's perceived by others and you have to account for that if you're making a statement.

What a load of nonsense

No the first hand experience should be that if you "perceive" something in a really stupid way , people will treat you as if you're really stupid

Which is why the official was banned.

By your logic the fact her outfit was black could be "perceived" as a political statement by a fucking moron. You can percieve anything as anything. People percieve Harry Potter as satanitc.

The BLM movement is most certainly political. Not everyone agrees with their message (due to different interpretations more often than not) or how they're delivering their message.

It's really not

"Leidy is 12 and she's trying to share the fact that she matters. There's nothing political about that."

They do it because they find it fun.

I don't really get anyone who is like "OMG, why do people spend HOURS doing THING!" on a video game website.

You already know the answer. Know that game you really like? Know the fun you have playing it? They experience that same fun doing RP.

Hell Roleplay games outdate Video Games by decades.

People used to put on dark clothes and walk around cities pretending to be vampires before your dad was born.

So then they never agreed to it.

Well they did, but ok

And smart negotiating on the EUs part. The UK wasted years due to their own ineptitude, multiple elections rewarded that ineptitude, and the EU is just lolnoping to doing the UK any favors when the Brits cant budge an issue on any of their contradictory demands and expectations despite holding none of the cards.

And the insane part is literally everyone saw this coming (who had a brain) and pointed it out loudly.

Then were told to shut up

Now are being told "We can't live in the past Captain Hindsight, we need time to heal, show my views some respect."

Then the same people go vote Tory on mass again

The UK decided to stop paying in, so they closed the access of funding coming back as a result. This isnt the EU being mean, this is the UK still not getting their new reality of their electorates own choice).

Go beg Boris for money, or the EU.

It's a little more complicated than that

They actually DID agree to fund UK scientists for the good of all.

But never ratified it and now are using it as one of many bargining chips to get the UK to bend over because they are aware that the UK has nothing.

And Scottish people will look on at this and still think independence is a good idea. Because apparently leverage is something that only exists in Tom and Jerry cartoons when you're pushing a minecart ontop of someone

It's not just about different colour passports. We've now also got the freedom to put the crown mark back on pint glasses -- which we were previously allowed to do under EU law but at least now, we can finally stop pretending that we weren't!

The one that gets me is the repeated Tory claim that the only reason the UK has a vaccine rollout is because of Brexit

Despite the fact

1. The UK was still in the EU that entire time.
2. The UK and Germany worked very closely together on developing and trialing vaccines and the logitical means to supply them. AT THE TIME Germany even got pissed that the UK news was cutting out their invovlement.

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/pfizer-vaccine-uk-success-alok-sharma-german-ambassador-b139721.html

The conservatives just lie and the UK population just blindly believes them while their own arms fall off from decay.

IT's mind boggling.

It's at least 17 times stupider than the Trump "Build The Wall" nonsense. To put it in perspective for Americans who think of Europe as just the place Harry Potter and World Wars come from.

It makes sense to me.

There's so many benefits and welfare systems and confusion out there

There's so many people who can't afford rent or go to collegue or put the heating on.

Universial Income or whatever you want to call it just sounds like it would cost LESS in tax than we spend on Welfare and costs that occur from crime and homelessness.

And would be a moral and pragmatic gain.

I'm not an economist but I don't really see the argument against it?

I mean I DO Get the logic of "IF everyone gets $800 a month then after a few years the cost of living will rise by $750 a month." Which is true

But how is that different than what's happening now? Inflation has been a thing for a long time and that's more to do with the failures of America's right wing government to have a healthy economy.

Why should UK get any funding from the EU?

Because advancements in science have a net gain advantage on everyone.

Cutting out the smart people from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Switzerland just creates a net negative for the future of all the people in Europe and the world.

Do you really care whether or not the dudes who handled clinical trials of the Covid vaccine came from Belfast or not?

Remember, it wasn't until the right wing voted Brexit and forced this divide that all these scientists ever considered not working together.

You've got dudes in the same fields in Cork, Paris, York, Cardif and Madrid who have been sharing research and communicating since the 1970s. Now suddenly some of their colleagues and research isn't happening.

Kpop was huge way before then

Like claiming Pop music only became popular with Justin Beiber

The EU is being urged to stop punishing scientists and end the year-long delay in letting British universities and laboratories access its flagship 10bn Horizon Europe funding programme.

Scientists across the UK and Europe have launched a campaign to get the UK admitted into the programme amid continuing fears that Brussels is using the fund as leverage in negotiations over the Northern Ireland protocol.

The EU agreed to associate membership for the UK as part of the wider Brexit trade deal struck on Christmas Eve 2020 but it has still not ratified the deal or a similar one with Switzerland, held up by a dispute over a draft treaty binding the country to the bloc.
The Swiss astronomer and Nobel prize winner Didier Queloz described the delays as a tragedy for science in the UK, Switzerland and Europe.

Lord Kinnoull, the chair of the House of Lords European affairs committee, which has recently investigated the impact of the delay, said: This is a mutual self-harm problem. And thats not good for something very precious, which is European scientific research.

Last week we had two British academics and a European academic in front of us and there was a great clarity from all of them about how this was harmful to European science. Collaborative projects are much more than just a cheque if you say you have a half-funded project you are very keen to do, you are not necessarily going to get the thumbs-up.
Queloz, who is backing a Europe-wide campaign by scientists across the bloc to get membership ratified for the UK and Switzerland, said: To be blunt, politicians have decided to use participation in Horizon Europe as a bargaining chip in wider negotiations.

UK scientists attack 'reckless' Tory cuts to international research

He wrote in the Financial Times: If this is the way the game plays out, everybody loses. We risk destroying a fantastic tool that the EU has spent decades developing by excluding two of the biggest players in the global research arena for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the programme itself.

Scientists say the days of solo science are long gone, with collaboration responsible for success in everything from the development of Covid vaccines to Quelozs discovery of a new extrasolar planet. Queloz urged politicians to pause for a moment and consider the damage they were doing.

As a scientist holding posts at the universities of Cambridge and Geneva, I recognise that I am conflicted. But, approaching 60, this decision wont affect my career very much. I am not batting for myself, Im batting for the future generation of scientists who will be held back by this failure of politics. If the UK and Switzerland walk away, the Horizon budget will be lower; there will be fewer opportunities for young talent to spend time in our great universities, he said.

Ludovic Thilly, the chair of the executive board of the Coimbra group of 41 universities across Europe, said: We cannot accept any longer that scientific cooperation be held hostage to bilateral politics. A decade of cooperation with our British and Swiss partners is at risk of being jeopardised, and this at a period of time when global challenges have never required so much international research cooperation.

All this nonsense just for a different color passport that you could just get anyway if you wanted.

I don't think Americans/Asians/Africans historically will ever truly understand how utterly stupid Brexit was. As well as how harmful constantly voting Tories has been and will be for the scientific community. Just firmly keeping the nation in the 20th century.

Yeah I think even big Sekiro fans admit Dark Souls was way better.

At least as a template for multiple games.

If you can get passed some dodgy game design and low resolution then yes

Story and atmosphere in 1 is great. Some well written options and player choice.

2 is horribly dated in terms of bad comedy, inconsistent tone and a huge drop in story quality.

I think modern gamers probably couldn't go back to that kind of turn based isometic game.

But PC gamers would get an absolute blast from it

First hour or 2 is creepy

Then it just becomes a dark shooter

It does have some jump scares tho

My school never played us movies. I'm jealous.

I think the one exception was in psychology we watched a movie called Cat's Eye (I think?) Starring James Woods about a guy trying to quit smoking so he pays these people to remove his fingers and torture his wife if he smokes.

The whole film is about James Woods going crazy because he really wants to smoke.

Eh, I don't mind that

Unlike the other games your boy in Fallout 4 is supposed to be a hardened military combat veteran and right before you fight the Deathclaw, in lore he gets a pristine power armor set, lazer gun and back up with high ground shooting at it.

The deathclaws are still a big deal in the plot, you were just prepared.

I'd take that over the Cazadors any day. "Lulz bugs kill u cuz it's funny so either run around or snipe" is the gamedesign variant of farting at your fiancee's dinner party because you think it's hilarious but then it turns into a wetfart and nobody finds it funny including you.

In fact if you ask a lot of people who played FO4 when was the first time they died. You'll largely get 3 answers

1. The Deathclaw
2. The Assembly Plant thing in the middle of the map
3. when I jumped off a high thing

Maybe don't play on Normal if you find the game easy?
