Attorney here. The short answer is basically no. In the U.S., most jobs are considered “at will” employment; i.e. you can be hired/fired for any reason, so long as it’s not discriminatory/illegal/etc. Wrongful termination, as a cause of action, generally has to follow another cause of action, such as discrimination.

Going by the tone of your comment here, I find it quite hard to believe that you’ve ever “politely explained” anything to anyone.

Thank you, fellow nerd. Came to post exactly this.

Uhh, either you don’t understand what that phrase means, or you’ve been using your popcorn toppings in a very incorrect place.

I would suggest that truffle oil is another acceptable topping, but the list certainly ends there.

My friend, if you think truffle oil/salt is only for the kind of people who take Goop seriously, you’re very wrong.

They just started selling this at the Trader Joe’s near me in L.A. I’ve almost been tempted to grab a bag a few times, but it just sounds nasty. Maybe I’ll have to make a stop at the dispensary first, then just bite the bullet and give it a try...

Fair point. I’m assuming you aren’t a fan of his take on Watchmen either, then? (I enjoyed it a lot, but then again, I never read the source material.)

“Being happy” =/= “being a dick and showing up your opponent.”

Counterpoint to both of you: anyone playing soccer at any level.

I think that can apply to any of the fad dances that have come and gone in recent years.

Talk about a submarine delivery!

Eh, I haven’t seen the movie, and wasn’t necessarily planning on it as I’m not a big superhero movie fan, but this review actually made me kind of want to go see it. I’m all for more dark/cerebral superhero movies that don’t have to be for “all ages” just because you can go buy a kid’s comic book with the same…

I guess it’s technically an imageboard, but I’d suggest the entirety of 4chan.

I don’t mind that one so much, but what really drives me up the wall is when Kotaku cross-posts “e-sports” articles to Deadspin. Playing video games is not a fucking sport.

I assumed so...couldn’t resist the opportunity to make the joke though. On a related note, I had a friend in high school who would always confuse “gentiles” with “genitals.” It was always too funny to correct him...

How exactly does one be “extra gentile” while driving? Always carry a case of ham in the trunk?
