Corporations own everyone and are unaccountable on any level.  Change my mind.

This is pretty standard for comedians in their 50s and 60s, unfortunately. I used to defend Joe Rogan (who would definitely defend Dave Chapelle) as a guy who’s misunderstood.

Sometime last year, I stopped listening to his podcast, because it went from being interesting, to him inviting older comedians on, and then…

Yeah I’d give Dave a bit of leeway on the jokes. That’s not to say they aren’t offensive to people. Heck I watched the special and at times looked at the audience and could tell from their faces they were, at the very least, unimpressed with them. That’s jokes; some work, some don’t.

Especially since Cruise was already going above and beyond to make it easier on everyone, such as renting out an entire ocean liner so the crew could quarantine in relative comfort.

Fire her.

Gina Carano can eat a bag of dicks but I have to wonder if this isn’t slightly proving the point that Disney doesn’t *actually* give a fuck about.... well, anything. Anything but money. Cuz this shit seems pretty fireable. Is it just cuz she’s not Tweeting her nonsense?

BP2 might not lose money at the box office, but delays or shutdowns on a $300m+ production costs a fuckton of money that Disney/Marvel will have to either write-down, or recoup.

Tom Cruise is a loon, but he was absolutely right during his tirade when it came to mask wearing and vaccines. Shutting down a production not…

I fundamentally reject the idea that a person isn’t selfish if they’re only putting themselves in danger.

Rewrite the script so that all of her scenes are inside a real hermetically sealed lab. On her own. Letting her out after shooting finishes optional.

👍 In 1777 George Washington ordered that his soldiers be vaccinated against small pox. Their precious Founding Fathers would think these anti-vaxxers were idiots for being so reckless.

Mine was a classic tale of hubris. I was certain I was right, unassailable in my ivory tower, sneering at all who told me different until I found out (painfully) how wrong I was. I discovered that I could hate Rob Schneider more. After years believing my antipathy for him could go no further, I found out he was an…

The stated rationale for opposing the Covid vaccine is that the risk to the person receiving the vaccine outweighs the benefit to society of being vaccinated. In general the opposition to vaccination doesn’t claim that the vaccine is ineffective but rather that it has side effects that are being hidden from the…

It absolutely is the right word. She has made a decision for herself knowing full well that her decision affects everyone around her, and adversely. I'd say that's pretty cut and dried

My view is, if you’re not doing something that is easy and free and won’t harm you but runs a significant risk of harming many others, it’s pretty damn selfish. But my rage is most concentrated towards the rich ones.

*Letitias Wright and Robs Schneider

They’re putting everyone they interact with in danger and, especially when it’s a rich person like Wright, they have access to top-tier medical treatment that many others won’t be able to receive.

At this point it is selfish, and arrogant, and dangerous not be vaccinated. If Wright wants to spread those views she can, but I will not spend a dollar on anything associated with her and her extremism. Esposito has it 100% correct.

Toxicity isn’t unavoidable. You just have to punish it fast, hard, and reliably. If you take weeks to act its pointless. If the penalty is just a few hours off ita pointless. If the same behaviour isn’t treated the same way twice its pointless.

Have a large human enforcement team and issue one strike perma bans. Anything less and your message rings hollow. No one needs a warning about not being a bigot. It all starts at the top.

For what it’s worth, turning off the animations (Settings->Accessibility->Visual Effects) and changing the default view in Explorer to compact (default makes more sense for a touch device?) gets rid of what I consider annoying. The window shadowing seems more obvious, but whatever.
