The weirdest part about Captain America 1 was that an American superman in ww2 never fought the Nazis. He fought the secret Hydra, who have dull platonic ideals of Balance and Death and capital E evil, like Thanos or whatever

Hey auspol, I just got a new job and I wanted to join the union. Does anyone know which is the best union for warehousing in SA? Google just gives me the SDA and they can get hosed.

I'm sorry you had to ask this question during Turbonerd hour. I don't know the answer, but here might be a good place to go searching.

It's pretty cute that the first big rear end villain of these Disney movies is some nerd who hyperventilates about Third World birthrates, so he can gently caress the grim reaper

Hey, third big-rear end villain. Just because Loki and Ultron weren't cosmic-scale, doesn't mean they aren't big asses. Also that's not including the ones without the 'Avengers' name; didn't the Guardians fight a planet?

And this is even further off the point, but I want to voice that Thanos hosed basically every single-superhero movie in the franchise from contributing villains to future crossover movies. Loki was a Thor villain, and Ultron was an Iron Man villain (in story origin and flavor of character, not in from-movies-origin), but with the Guardians providing Thanos we leapfrogged the scale most of the movies are playing on. So Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, they can't provide an Avengers villain because it'll be an enormous step down from Thanos (Doctor Strange probably could, but I'm the only person that liked that movie).

Woah.

It's mostly the Marvel and Image comics that suck. The DC ones and various indie projects still churn out some quality.

Gonna be honest, that won't take you very long.

I'm not actually upset or concerned about this, I'm just pointing out that they hosed the power scale on the crossovers before some of the real good corners of the MCU got to provide a spotlight villain. I could make a Dragon Ball reference to compare here, but that'd just dig my hole even deeper.

You should read a cool comic book then. Much like film and literature the story is different in every one.

The meme is basically she's asking someone to pay her to housesit her own house and people called her out on it then she left the group and became a meme/bully target.
It's funny looking at QUT pages and while the person is an idiot, people who post there are extremely libertarian unironically.
Even if you browse it further you notice how much /pol/ leaks onto Business students.





Naturally its a complete clusterfuck since I graduated. It used to be mostly people getting help for assignments ect but its since been infected by the meme brigade and any time politics is brought up it swings heavily to the right and is full of recycled /pol/ memes which QUT Student Guild mods allow.

I just stay a member of the group to watch it burn, like most facebook groups.

That’s pretty clearly within fatigue management guidelines with the exception of the breaks part. That is unless his contract states he gets a “crib break” in which case it’s all legal and fine. As long as he gets a solid 48 hour break in ANY 14 day period, there’s nothing he can really say to the 11 days solid.

He should definitely read his contract before contacting a union and making himself a target to management.
