Thread drift happens, as do disagreements.

Please do go on... If you don't understand why I didn't get something from your original post that I responded to then I suggest you go reread it. When I track back our back and forth to the original post I responded to, you only addressed pay. It's when I disagreed with your premise that you...

You choose an interesting way of quoting my post. You quote the beginning and the end and then do me the favor of giving me the benefit of the doubt and "assume you [I ] 1) made a mistake/type, and 2) are still unaware of your [my] mistake/typo." while not bothering to quote the middle of my...

Nope, not making a moving target argument. I suggested a more reasonable number to get a better sample size for your argument because a sample size of one is generally considered a poor sample size. Before attempting to apply logical fallacies to rebuttals you need to make sure your original...

I would recommend randomly clicking on 30 counties around the country and see if that holds for all of them (or even most). In many places that would be bare subsistence living, if that.

Ok, I have no idea what you are talking about. At no point did I say Amazon workers are asked to carry firearms or any of the other strawmen you introduced into your argument. I recommend you go back and reread your post and my response. The topic was wages and that is what I addressed. Since...

What's the housing situation like if you earn $36k/year? Can you afford food, regular doctors/dentists visits (let alone an emergency), a social life and whatever else qualifies as a basic standard of living on that wage?

Actually, it should tell us as much about what a teacher makes as it does an Amazon employee. Crap wages are crap wages regardless of the job. I have friend who is currently working in an Amazon warehouse and, based on prior conversations with him, I think he would disagree with the premise that...

I'm guessing it has more to do with paying residuals than a tax break but I could be way off base.

Wow, that David Zaslav guy sure is popular. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/david-zaslav-booed-boston-university-graduation-writers-strike-1235497440/

The voices seem a bit off but it's certainly interesting.

And stray from the MCU formula? Blasphemy!! ;)

He did but I think whacking someone with your lute is really stretching what a weapon should be.

I enjoyed the movie but was baffled why Pine's character never had a weapon.

It's been so long since I read them but I went with The Shadow Over Innsmouth. I remember loving that story

I don't watch much comedy but recently I have watched a bunch of Ricky Gervais. Hysterical!

I never would have thought I would have any desire to see this movie but it looks like a riot. I won't see it in theaters, but I will see it.

Luckily, I have Oreos and I believe I shall have some soon. :) As I said in my prior post, we obviously are defining our terms differently and since that's the case this will just become a circular discussion (well, already has). I'll bow out instead of continuing, and if you get your hands on...

Sorry Snarf, you are usually pretty good at adding nuance to the topics you engage in on these boards but here, in part, you failed on that front. You give a brief summary of The Pinkertons, even if it started a bit snarky, which does help to add some history to the conversation (did you Google...
