Real food tastes good, my favorite Indian restaurant has some of the greatest food I've ever eaten, without a trace of meat

No I'm not vegan, I like meat, but it's not a necessity in everything

Brave of you to assume they wouldn't accuse you of forging the passport with some twisted logic to keep you out of the country

Hear me out here: an entire town of 3 kobolds in a trench coat unaware that all the other humans in the town they're trying to blend in with are also just 3 kobolds in a trench coat

I mean to be fair, you wouldn't be getting paid $315,360 for a years worth of work, you'd be getting paid $315,360 for 7.488 million seconds in a year (ish, 40 hour weeks, no missed days)

So really to have picking up a penny in one second be "worth" your time, you'd only have to be making $74,880 a year or less

Grey's Law: Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice

I'm non-republican in a family full of Republicans. I love my family. The thing they lack is empathy and foresight. They care about people of all religions, races, sexualities, etc. Just not when they're people they don't know. My grandmother is gay, we all love her. But some random gay person half the country away? They just don't care. They lack the foresight to realize the gay person THEY know could well be next. Like the immigrants, we're friends with plenty of immigrants, and the news tells them that bad things only happen to bad immigrants, so surely that wouldn't mean OUR friends. Spoiler: it does. They see protests on the news being framed as terrorists, and wonder why the police aren't being even harsher with them. Without wondering what it'd be like if those protestors were in our city, and people we know were being beaten like dogs. They live in their own world, it's not as if they don't care. They just only care when it's the people around THEM, it's literally the "oh shit the leopards ate MY face??"

Im not sure how representative my family in particular is, I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans who are genuinely just racist, sexist, etc against even people in their own community. But yeah, the propaganda runs deep.

In my state there is no legal requirement for any break whatsoever for adults -_-

If they are offered however, 20 minutes or less are required to be paid, and no matter the amount of time, if you are expected to do anything (answer phones, emails, monitor equipment, etc) then that break must be paid. But when and how long you take a break, if at all, is completely up to the company :(

So if this were in my state, whether this would be allowed or not would be entirely dependent on what company policy on breaks is, and I'm sure they would've written that to benefit themselves
