You take that back right now.

Black or white kids jump in front of merit and he treats them the same

Opposite of racism

I think it would be more harmful to the girl to see her uncle getting beaten down in a department store while she looks on in horror. It would probably be even more harmful if she were to try to intervene and get beaten down herself. These are things a responsible guardian should probably think about before going full retard.

Today I did a legit good thing for somebody and I think it's kinda making me feel worse cause I don't know how to properly integrate the experience into my mind and that's oddly stressful.

I mean I don't know at what economic level paid maternity leave becomes common but there aren't laws guaranteeing it so lower income jobs don't give it as a very hard rule. They'll give you very very limited time off for it but it won't be paid. I'm sure my co-worker could have taken off longer but she makes not very much over minimum wage so every day she takes off is highly meaningful. She put up a brave front all throughout her pregnancy like she just doesn't like not working but I highly doubt she wasn't just covering for it being necessary to work every day possible.

Hi, Fetch - welcome back! The U.S. is the only industrialized nation that does not mandate companies to provide paid parental leave -- only New York, New Jersey, California, Rhode Island, Washington and the District of Columbia have passed paid family leave laws -- otherwise, it's up to individual companies to voluntarily set their own paid parental leave policy.

It's awful this woman had to return to work so soon after a C-section, which is major surgery. Especially if she is lifting anything on the job (absolutely no lifting should be done from 4-6 weeks after a C-section).

Not if you’re diagnosed with cancer. Not if you’re dying from a disease. There’s ****ing nothing. And employers shamelessly work people literally to death. I work with a guy who has blood leaking into the joints of his hips. He’s in agony. He can’t afford surgery and wobbles around work everyday carrying big bags of flour and breading around. He’s been there for years so he asked if he could do less physical stuff like inventory. Nope. Carry these 50 lbs bags around all day or lose your job. It’s like that all over. I mean, he’s exhausted, can’t sleep from the pain, trying to remain in recovery from opioid addiction, has been loyal to the company for years and they show more kindness to the machinery. I am NOT being hyperbolic. It is like that.

That is honestly shocking. I thought it was be pretty similar to over here where it would be law. I’m so baffled. What a poor show from the employers. Cheapskate ****s.

Hope you’re feeling better soon Jans :).

Some of you guys are ridiculous. "Don't go full retard Rosa Parks, it's just a f*cking bus seat. Don't want your grandkids to see you stand up for yourself. It sets a bad example for the other slaves."

*Cue froundland: blerp da bler . . . well actually, the civil rights era came after slav . . . blerp da bler*

So in other words you were unable to control your temper while dealing with a group of *******s while you were supposed to be keeping a 14-year-old girl safe. If you want to act like an emotionally unstable moron then don't agree to look after children.

A group of what?

Don't worry Mordechai, they were Goyim.

If Rosa Parks had had her niece with her then it might very well have been irresponsible of her to antagonize a bunch of white people, especially if those white people started threatening violence. And I think it speaks volumes about your mentality that you're comparing yourself to Rosa ****ing Parks.

EDIT: I had been Black Friday shopping for like 4 hours at that point. And in line at a f*cking Victoria's Secret for over half an hour for my niece to buy ONE goddamn item, that she will probably never wear [after waiting almost an hour for her to pick it out]. I don't care if it WAS Rosa Parks trying to cut in front of me. Bitch can catch these hands too.

I called my boss a ****ing dickhead today because he took the garbage can I was using and that I bagged up myself. I also took it back. It’s the culture of our restaurant that if you fetch something yourself you have dibs on it. Even over a chef.

Then when I was eating a burger on break I ****ing dropped it. I had to wait two more hours to get a chance to make another one.

Then I cut the **** out of my thumb on the knuckle. I was bleeding all over. It added almost an hour to my work day cleaning it, bandaging it and then working gingerly around it. Still ****ing hurts.

Still it was a pretty good day.

Merit, **** everyone ****ting on you. You did the right thing.

That's not an insult, I'm just saying that your lack of dependents gives you a freedom to act in a way that others can't since they have others to put before themselves. To be honest I'd say that having children is in many ways a trap that forces you to sublimate, not only your desires, but your ethics for the sake of their well-being. Parents are often seen as the leaders of society as they have taken on the responsibility of perpetuating and molding the future, but they're kind of prisoners of their culture in a very unshakable way. Perhaps you should remember that before insisting that someone raising children (like Merit) should act as you would.
