Aww. More white fragility butthurt. I’m tempted to photoshop this to read “Great Grandpa took a bullet for slavery”.

The fact that I’m only a bit under a 90-minute drive from where this occurred is a sobering thought.

That’s the best.

There’s not enough bleach in the world.

On average, HR essentially functions to “protect” the company from the rank & file employees. They so reflexively side with managers that they often don’t realize that the manager is a problem (unless a senior manager points it out) until it’s too late and they’re facing a lawsuit.

It’s also amazing how many people…

They’ve beeen completely destroyed by their Ayn-Rand-worshipping nutjob CEO. There’s no way that they’re still going to exist in five years.

The feature-length Justice League: New Frontier was nicely done as well.

Same here. At the college that I attended (small liberal arts) during those years, the student activities staff just gave up on trying to book comics after a while. No matter who it was, someone would complain about the content.

It was the one thing I really envied about some of the large state schools around the…

If a pork industry trade group decided to ask a vegan bakery to produce a cake with a picture of a pig on it and the slogan “Eat Pork!” they’d probably tell them to go away. The bakery would probably assume they were being trolled.

I’m salaried, and my employer is completely OK with us knocking a couple of hours off the leave report if we do work while on vacation.

Clearly SOMEONE isn’t getting to walk the red carpet at Cannes . . .

The big one is to be more careful with money - if you screw up your finances, it causes a HELL of a lot of relationship stress, especially in a marriage.

I think a lot of crooks fall into that “just smart enough” category.

1. Go to decent local liqueur store. Make sure you have two bottles of go-to wines that you already know are drinkable. There’s a $9 Italian Sangiovese that I usually have in the house.
   

Right - but you’re not really the audience. The audience are the people in the room, paying $8,000 for a networking event, the proceeds going to a “not-for-profit” that seems to do no actual charitable work, but which pays its top people seven-figure salaries.

As I replied to someone else - it’s actually like a…

This sort of thing is giving administrators a new tool to “reign in” or “deal with” faculty. That’s one of the reasons they’re gravitating to it.

In addition, the massive increase in the number of professional staff and administrators required to deal with student issues/support/life, institutional planning and…

We’re going to have to agree to disagree on that. You do realize that the videos are just a way of them drumming up more “members” who pay huge fees to attend the sessions in person? The events are actually networking events for “the somewhat-less-great-and-good” - it’s like a slightly downmarket, franchised version…

Perhaps spending some of that revenue they’re generating on things like summer science programs for underprivileged kids would be more of a help. But hey, that’s not nearly as splashy and media-friendly. Hard to put on YouTube. They’re a not-for-profit online media company with very little actual charitable output.…

I think the entire “improving the world” bit is bullshit, and until they start disclosing how much (or more likely, little) they give out in “scholarships”, I’m going to assume that the not-for-profit status is basically a pile of horseshit.

And there’s a point where “palatable” becomes “pablum”. They’ve certainly…
