@witchfynder_finder i’m sure a union could negotiate this sort of thing as part of a contract 😏
@witchfynder_finder if a company wanted to man their phones on the weekend or outside of work hours it’s easy, just make those hours work double
like i would absolutely show up to work on saturday and sunday if it meant only working three days a week hell yes
work only 4 hours from 5pm to 9pm instead of 8 hours during the workday but still get paid the same??? hell yes
@witchfynder_finder tbf millennials all wanted to be young adult fantasy authors
@witchfynder_finder @KitRedgrave « 'None of the girls has got one,' said Bao-yu, his face streaming with tears and sobbing hysterically. 'Only I have got one. It always upsets me. And now this new cousin comes here who is as beautiful as an angel and she hasn't got one either, so I *know* it can't be any good.' »
@witchfynder_finder the thing about hereditary nobility is that you can just say “i’m not doing that” and nobody can take your nobility away
it was by this professor and we had this big long conversation about queer identity in rural washington and then at the end of it i was like “yeah but maybe you should focus less on liberal identitarian politics and instead be asking more about queer practices and experiences or the lack thereof; the difficulty out here is not in being gay but in doing gay things”
@aescling "assume that" is just a long form of "assume"; cf. "assume that it be the case that"
@aescling or “assume it be the case that” etc
plain “it be that” operates pretty much entirely to create the subjunctive mood with no trimmings and i think most english speakers today would just drop it if it didn't have anything else to add
@aescling my guess is that “assume the arrangement be [such] that” is more common than a plain “it” but
@aescling if the usage is grammatical and you made it then it is attested by you :P
@aescling sounds subjunctivey to me
