I hate that I know this, but there wasn’t actually any of the wedding shown on the TV show. They showed all the parties and fittings and prep work up to the wedding, but then only showed Kim walking towards the ceremony at a distance. That’s it. None of the reception either.

Anything's a K name if you're kreative enough.

in the recent kardashian reality show episodes, he revealed that he’d transition fully by end of spring. those episodes were filmed in jan/feb i think.

I’m happy for him.

Despite the fact that he will see fit to make a docu-series out of it.

I’ve been full time for years and still haven’t managed to get surgery and this motherfucker hasn’t even changed her name yet!

In most states you can be terminated for any reason “at will employment”. There is never a legal obligation for severance to be paid.

Just lock that shit down and give it to them, otherwise you’re shooting yourself in the foot. If your privacy settings are solid then you should have nothing to fear. Although personally having grown up with the internet I have assumed for years that anything I post online could come back to haunt me, no matter what

Just as a point of clarification, it is not illegal to ask these questions, it’s illegal to make hiring decisions based on the answers to those questions. For that reason, most HR companies will strongly discourage their interviewers from asking them in order to avoid potentially opening themselves up to litigation.

That is a lot of people you are asking to stand up and make themselves unemployable. With such weak unemployment welfare to cushion them when they fall too. It ain’t gonna happen without some fundamental changes.

As long as the law is written by lobbyists from mega corps, and white collar workers refuse to unionize in their own right, there is not going to be a choice. The law and the power will always back the employer and interviewer.

The last time I went job hunting, fully half the applications asked for your Facebook profile. I can’t for the life of me figure out how this is legal. Seriously- How the fuck is this legal?

If you are asked an illegal question, and you are not secretly taping the interview, then suck it up and answer it. In this economy you can’t afford not to, and unless you are taping it (which is probably illegal, it is in most jurisdictions) it is your word against the interviewer who only has to say that another

Your article fails to take into account the imbalance between interviewer and interviewee. You can refuse to answer whatever you want, but it will mean you’re not getting that job and there won’t be any way to prove it’s because you declined to answer an improper question.

The other part which you mention in passing is

How do you sidestep these questions? Saying no and pointing out that the question was illegal is certain to destroy your chances of being hired. Granted, you wouldn’t want to work for a company with a shady HR department but sometimes you don’t really have a choice.

When I first read the article, I was really in the “it’s no big deal; let’s all unbunch our panties”. But, the people in these comments remarking that they don’t want to be forced into someone else’s sex play really make a lot of sense, and I’m hard pressed to disagree with them.

Nice try. This statement is applicable to the public degradation of another human, shockingly, and soo unexpectedly, a woman in this case.

I could care less what consenting adults do in their home or in public spaces that are designed for this kind of play. But I would rather not be part of someone’s fetish without consent. Part of walking her on the leash in public is about getting a charge from people’s reactions.

I’ve been active in the BDSM scene for more than 10 years, and while I wholeheartedly approve of petplay and such, there is no way to solicit consent from passersby and therefore it’s inappropriate. Whether you practice RACK (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink) or SSC (Safe-Sane-Consensual), consent is absolutely necessary.

As a person who doesn’t want to see your (or I should say “their”) sexual play as I go about my daily life, I say, “Fuck no.”
