didn't alois threaten shez in Hopes to follow him to garreg mach?

?

Are you talking about this line ?

So you see why we must ensure you are well-compensated. Also, there may be some papers for you to sign...perhaps in blood.

Blood oaths used to be a thing - it's basically a super binding contract, like a very solemn oath.

Aka Alois is basically asking Barney here to sign some non-disclosure agreement, and Barney interprets this - and the reward they will receive - as a bribe to, say, not reveal to the world how Flamey'n'Uncle staged an assassination attempt on the heirs of Leicester and Faerghus - I mean, how the CoS is so incompetent that it put in danger the lives of the future heirs of Fodlan's countries.

In the JP text the words used are this 誓約書 which roughly means a written oath/covenant?

Tl;Dr : It's not similar to Tellius's Blood pacts even if blood is mentionned in the localisation, it's a real life (old) concept!

I don't consider this as a threat, even if Larva - and we know who is Larva - always suggests it is, or how basically the CoS is forcing Barney's hand.

#anon #replies #3 nopes #this recontextualises the convenant of the red blood and white sword no sword jokes for us here :( #oh wait #given how it's the same dubious name in japanese when here the blood oath has different kanjis #maybe willy really played with his sword ? #Alois is good natured and doesn't think Barney would sell this intel #granted Rhea too if she believes a contract will make Barney quiet #if they're mercs they will sell this intel contract or no contract #NDI protect secrets due to the threat of the heavy penalties the party #who breaches it has to pay #but once it's broken well the intel is out in the wild

So I got a job offer but I. Have been putting off calling back HR because they won’t move forward with letting me look over the contract or anything until I give a verbal commitment and honestly it’s so fucked I’ve never been more upset to get a job offer

#my passion for this career has taken such a nosedive i got that call and felt sick when I should have been thanking my lucky stars #especially since nobody has been getting back to me and the only communication I’ve received is rejection letters #they were really nice in the interview it honestly doesn’t seem like a bad place to work but I’ve been bamboozled before #being locked into a year contract and facing the threat of them taking my certification if I leave mid year is like a real possibility #where I was last year did that when I alluded to wanting out #I just feel very trapped and wish I could get into something else but #my education is in something a little niche that doesn’t offer much room for alternatives and I have to revamp my application and cv #I’m honestly probably overly emotional because I think I’m about to start my period skdjjd but this is hard and I hate it here 🙃

Most people: *celebrating Merc Mick*

Me, thinking of Mercedes' track record of actually getting driver's an F1 seat:

#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #mick schumacher #i hope it works out and he's back on the grid in 2024 but like merc doesn't have a good track record #like Nico Michael + Lewis were all established drivers when they joined #Valtteri had a few years with Williams under his belt before he moved #by most accounts George would've had another year at Williams if their first choices had accepted the merc seat #because he allegedly wasn't the first or even second choice #Esteban had to take a year out because he lost his seat until the Renault seat opened up #... I'm pretty sure that's all the drivers that have been under the Mercedes umbrella whether the actual team or the driver academy #& we saw Nyck nearly every race weekend in the merc garage so often for years it was almost a running joke #1 race weekend & a conversation was apparently all it took for him to get a seat with alpha tauri #merc hasn't really brought any drivers onto the grid other than George and Esteban #i would consider them both the exception rather than the rule especially Esteban #because his already established connections to Renault assisted him with getting the seat more than I would say his work with Merc did #& i believe merc used talks with Esteban & Daniel as potential threats to Valtteri's seat in order to motivate Valtteri to sign #rather than seriously considering either of them because resigning Valtteri had been their goal until 2021 #which was when Valtteri made the decision to leave the team as he wanted more stability than a year by year contract #there's always BTS manoeuvring & politics at play with any f1 seat #Esteban until the Renault move had been under the merc umbrella with teams using a merc engine #he is still managed by Toto #i believe he's one of the few drivers who are & the only one on the grid which is why he's the exception not the rule #Merc has about a good track record with young drivers as Ferrari or McLaren do #spoiler alert; Charles & Lando are the exceptions not the rules #oh god mick i love ya i hope this move works out and we'll see you on the grid in 2024 #say what you want about red bull but a solid chunk of the grid has connections there for a reason

maybe paige’s god’s name should be vaughan, since one could make the argument that vaughan was the seed of the wound tree

#or maybe more like paige’s losing vaughan Like That #was the seed #the silt verses spoilers #silt verses spoilers #i have a lot of feelings about vaughan #do you ever think about the fact that they were so important to both paige and carpenter #but they’ve never talked about them like as far as we know never even spoken their name since they died #vaughan who was so kind so invested in the people around them #so SMART like they got the fuck out of that hogie stand and left the damn country #and then the foreshadowed jaws snapped shut #i’m sure it was all in the contract #i say through clenched teeth #it’s definitely not the same as being fucking burned alive at a work function but i do live in a right to work state #and i used to work at a law firm this so i yeah i read my contract #and if you do you know there could in fact come a day when they decide to make use of you #targeted layoffs to make the numbers go up are like. again preferable to being BURNED ALIVE #but given the choice i would prefer to not face the threat of either of these things actually

the other thing to add to that thought is that even tho amity has a ton of knowledge of both local law and contracts in baldur's gate, the most involved with traditional law she's gotten has been sitting in on open council meetings and trying to spread support for whatever civil pet project she's currently coddling

she's recently discovered that it's far more effective to break into politicians' homes in the middle of the night while they're sleeping and wake them up by looming over them and then tell them to vote to pass her clean water project Or Fucking Else.

would she actually cause bodily harm to them if they didn't? naaaaah, she's just trying to scare them, haha. but they don't know that for sure! c: plus, she is both capable and willing to cause them other types of harm. like reputational harm! sure would be a shame if word got out that you've been fudging the terms of your contracts after the fact to screw over everyone who works for you, huh? even those very nice bodyguards outside the room? they're so loyal, they'd definitely still protect you even if they knew you were fleecing them... right? :)

(and, like. she's also nobility. her father is on the council of four. who's going to believe you if you go to them about this? whose support is more valuable to them? no one would ever take you seriously -- and if they did, it would only make it worse for you, because they'd write you off as a liability)

she used to be squeaky clean and just publicly talk up policies that she was hoping would get passed, but that never did anything. she wised up, and then for a long while, she would subtly threaten harm to their reputation if they didn't cooperate and support passing a law or an act, y'know -- the proper way of nobility. the way it's traditionally done. but she got bolder in recent years and started being more forthright with the dirt she has against them, and by the gods, the amount of funding for public projects she's been able to secure in the past few months has been stellar

so yeah she's never been one for traditional law in any setting

#amity tag #also don't worry -- she never has the same dirt on anyone for too long if it's something that causes actual harm #she'd strongarm that politician into making his contracts more generous under threat of exposing him too #the benefit of complying is he gets to do it QUIETLY + doesn't have to worry about getting beaten to death by a mob of people he fucked over #she has been surprised but pleased to find that blackmail can often be used over and over again

laporta and co orchestrating the most heinous smear campaign known to man against messi and his entourage

#despite my many threats of physical violence on him i'm 150% with jorge messi on this one #he saw what the institution did to messi once and said not again and i respect that #plus i'm honestly having a hard time believing they were /almost/ ready to sign on the saudi deal #messi can't even see himself outside of barcelona due to adjustment issues and you're telling him he was okay with SAUDI ARABIA? #i'm inclined to believe it's all a smokescreen but who knows... #again i perfectly understand the anxiety and desperation from messi's side bc those european clubs won't be waiting for him forever #they have other transfer targets and squad planning in mind too #and messi himself has to think abt his kids #so if (and huge if btw i think barça will happen actually) barça can't pull thru for him he's stranded AGAIN #already it's been said that they can't register him before july 1 bc he has a contract with psg until june 30 #so it's already not looking good bruv #atp all we can do is watch this dumpster fire of a transfer saga unfold before our eyes while screaming crying throwing up #thank god he won the wc if he's forced to r*tire at least his legacy won't be that of an international bottler anymore lol #(said while coughing blood)

The Teamsters have come to a tentative agreement for a new UPS contract which if the union members vote in its favor will prevent a strike.

As labor journalist Kim Kelly says, it will be interesting to hear what the rank and file members of the union think about the contract, but the tentative contract does include some big wins on some of the issues the union has been most concerned about including air conditioning in vehicles.

Another labor journalist Alex Press notes that the minimum wage for part time workers is four dollars less than what they had been pushing for.

#labor rights #teamsters #the point was already made by someone else on twitter a couple weeks ago but while a strike Would be good for the labor movement writ large #it would be incredibly difficult for the workers #and one of the most powerful things about the strike is using the threat of it to get the contract improvements you want #amptp clearly didnt think wga/sag/etc would be willing to commit to a strike (esp after the avoided iatse one a few years ago) which i why #they werent willing to give anything in the contracts which is why those unions did strike #dga got (some) contract improvements they wanted (tho some directors were outspoken about voting no on the contract) which is #why the dga didnt strike #the ups workers have been doing demonstration 'just practicing for a just contract' strikes to force the hand of ups #and the fact that multiple strikes have been ongoing and the teamsters president is a tru labor guy definitely helped force the hand to #make ups actually make some of the concessions they want

on this laptop is some old near art from hs/college and augh them...

#i can tell the person walking in front of Caleb was meant to be jerric bc the color of his lab coat is a super pale green #also honestly shout out to 2016 me for putting cord in a postal worker uniform SEVEN YEARS BEFORE I DECIDED TO MAKE RESTORATION #A DELIVERY/POSTAL SERVICE #GIANT BRAIN MOMENT FROM TEENAGE ME #i am however deducting points for not making Jerric fatter until a few years ago #also jerric was assigned a fursona at work he's actually a wolf jsyk #idk unrelated to the tag tangent but related to some of the art #veneer has always had a big theme (?) of like. the horrors of a corporation owning you #esp when you don't have a choice #jerric is a huge part of that in 2 ways #his implants are crestfall tech (that HE designed and THEY own) which they can just turn off at any time #(he's so lucky being the one who designed them because what abt the people who CAN'T PERFORM THEIR OWN MAINTENANCE) #and he needs that job to because of his daughter (like he literally sold his freedom to CF to ensure her safety n livelihood) #all of them were specially chosen and their families allowed entry to the bubble cities by basically selling themselves #to the corporation in order to ensure their families would be able to live safe and happy lives not constantly under threat of #mutated wildlife trampling their homes or the fear of corporate wars destroying their hometown (oh hey Julian when did you get he-) or #natural disasters from the fcking climate crisis or the alien technology that eats people THE LIST GOES ON.

#orlbs #misclb #there’s something really…. normalguy about this execution which is piquing my interest #very much like uh huh alright let’s make a contract and get some things sorted out. alright let’s go. we’ll see how it turns out. #like a lack of intensity given the situation but so far it’s not a detriment #good baseline for escalating intensity for the future #also actress fl is like ‘palace drama… where no one is on your side and you’re under constant threat… huh reminds me of my rookie days’ #adaptability to the max with entertainment circle flavoring

I am begging people who don’t know what they’re talking about to just shut the fuck up about the strike instead of spreading misinformation because you doing that is actually WAY WORSE then you just saying literally nothing.

#Barbie is a struck work and there is literally a difference between a boycott and a strike - learn that difference #do NOT boycott Barbie - go see it #but DO NOT TAKE PROMO WORK FOR IT EITHER it’s a struck work #like nobody asked for a boycott they asked you to not take studio contracts / jobs / go to premieres / take on actors pr work (aka a strike #if you don’t know the difference - sit back and quietly listen for a bit like it’s ok to go ‘I don’t know enough’ and stop talking ok #but god I’ve been seeing sm misinformation the past 24 hours and it’s frustrating #also please learn the definition of scab and read over the strike guidelines #movie critics are NOT scabbing when they post their reviews (unless it’s like paid for by the studio) stop leaving them death threats #your favorite influencer going to an international Barbie premiere? Is scabbing! Probably won’t impact them much unless they want to #act in the usa down the line though ( etc etc etc ) like I just 🙃🙃 #this is baby’s first strike for some of you clearly and I get it but please just put on your listening ears and sit back for a bit #edit: ok one more thing on my frustrated af no sleep tag rant - try to get your info from SAG as much as you can - figure out who the strik #captains are - follow them and quadruple check info like I’m not even joking about how damaging spreading misinfo is
