Uh, yeah, I was there. It was one of the more shameful things you’ll see in the game

Some of your facts are not actually facts or are still in dispute. For starters, I literally just heard a report that Lochte was on his preplanned flight home, and did NOT change plans, although one of the other athletes did (I think after the judge ordered them detained).

Right. I’m def. the one coming off like an idiot here. OK, bro.

So, you’re a psychic who can tell those are wallets? Because those look like credentials to me. And one of the “watches” looks like a Fitbit or something.

Thank you, this has been my question. I see no motivation for them to make up this story. Even the people who say it’s fake don’t seem to have any reason why they would make it up.

So, they have a system in place that can ID a guest without actually capturing any personal information about them and is very unlikely to contain anything that will be of value to anyone outside of their business, and it’s creepy?

This woman is an idiot. Sorry, I see a bunch of people defending this childish behavior, but it’s exactly that. I’m no fan of dress codes, but they are common and I see nothing wrong with being expected to look and act professionally even if the expectations aren’t all explicitly laid out. They likely don’t have a…

When this woman is inevitably fired for being an idiot, I am sure the internet will embrace her as a unique individual who simply wants to express herself.

Sounds like an employee who agreed to the ToS and is bitching because she isn’t getting her way. It doesn’t matter how stupid the rules are. Rules are rules and she agreed to every single one when she took the job.

About 99+44/100% of the time I would almost automatically take the ex-wife’s side. But with this lengthy history of lying to police, including about her children, and their daughter’s report that her mother has been physically abusive toward all family members... in this instance, she’s not credible to me.

remember when a volvo engineer said tesla wannabe autopilot was dangerous and people jumped on him? i do

HEY that originated with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. It’s a perfectly cromulent word.

Counterpoint: OK Go is great and this sucks.

Agreed. Maybe it’s not “novel” anymore, but it’s still really impressive.

I guess in lieu of making something people actually like, you can intentionally under-perform and call it really edgy satire. I know when I’m insecure about the results of my efforts, I sometimes self-sabotage them - for example, if I’m making a piece of functional furniture and I want it to turn out way better than I…

“No one is impressed by your dumb choreographed videos, OK Go.”

I’m not defending the prosecutor, I swear, but I’m guessing that rape would have been difficult to prove. So it was either plea him to some other crime or risk him walking free.

“How dare you not remove a board-member whom we disapprove of because he funded a lawsuit against us after we ousted him for being gay directly against his wishes because we don’t feel like he deserves the right to keep such information from the wealthy middle-eastern people he works with?!

Seems it’s right in line with the concept of fried chicken.. It’s interesting seeing an old recipe, can’t say it seems mind blowing-ly different or anything.
