Exactly. And falsifying hours is one of those thing that can get you fired quickly, union or not.

To be fair, there are the tacti-tards who love to bump fire from the hip. I have seen them at the range.

To mangle a phrase, just because you take no interest in office politics doesn't mean that office politics won't take an interest in you.
Pay attention to little things. Watch the comings and goings of those who think they're players. Listen to everything that people try to tell you and never take sides out loud.
"Yeah, really?" is pretty much all I say when people try to drag me into their battles.
I hate the games of office politics but I'm a realist and I understand that I have to know the game to avoid it.

but come on. Why do people keep fucking with the branding that we know and love?
Stop trying to get the prom queen to like you and stick with your day-one friends.

I talk about retrocomputing with several people and most of those who are both over 30 and a long time computer users remember the Amiga.

"Fat AGnus", not "Fat ANgus", like you typed. Googling that will get you, I suspect, pictures of large cattle instead of BBW porn and custom silicon.
You speak for all the people who were subjected to actual racism?
I speak only for myself and I am such a person.
I have heard others say so for themselves.
Most people misunderstand analogies, and they also misunderstand Godwin's law.
You may have misunderstood my explanation.

Big talk and political posturing does not equal action. "if you don't stop bothering me I'll have my dad beat up your dad" isn't the equivalent of felony assault. It is talk.
It is the explicit job of the executive to take action implementing legislative decree (laws). Many -- probably *most* -- of the laws have several vague parts that say "make it so", without any details. Frequently they're along the lines of "just do SOMETHING", giving a LOT of leeway to the actual implementation, allowing for all sorts of exemptions, delays and the ability to deal with unforeseen issues.
Whenever you see things like "refusing to uphold the law" start thinking about "unfunded mandate". Congress says "do this -- but we aren't giving you money". You need to prioritize based on resource constraints.
If 10,000 people come across the border, and I have 100 cops and limited court resources for due process where do I prioritize? Focus on the 10 year-olds looking for their mommy? Or the convicted felons and known violent offenders? They are NOT equal in the effort needed or resources consumed.
So, again, [Citation Needed]. Please point to a specific example. The ONLY one I can think of that might be a violation of law is the trade of Bergdahl for the Guantanamo inmates. Maybe.
I thought...
You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.
You parroted without doing any sort of independent analysis or validation.
And making analogies involving racism is a good way to get people to talk about real problems like this.
No. Making such analogies offends people who have been subjected to actual racism. They tend to stop listening to whatever else you say.
Like when someone takes whatever gripe they have, even when it's legitimate and likens the opposition to Nazis. At that people they lose people who might have been willing to side with them. That's also what a fake racism analogy does.

Maybe not, but then life isn't fair.
I bet a lot of people said the same thing about racism in employment.
I am beyond disgusted with people trying to equate everything to the racism that was a part of Western society's fabric until relatively recently.
Your failure to further your education has nothing in common with people who were never considered for jobs because of their race. You could have chosen to get a degree, they couldn't have chosen to be white.
You may think that you're being an insightful, open minded, progressive but you're being an insensitive douche with no perspective.

I'm completely serious.
I HATE KDE4. I still use Trinity wherever I can because that was the KDE that I liked.
I don't care about what whiz bang technology went intro this. I don't care how many man years were invested. I don't care who else likes it. I will reserve judgement until I use it myself. If it's not as good as KDE3.5, I'll stick with Trinity.

Interesting that didn't take my link.
You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all alike.
