The consideration is his promise not to sue them. And from the point of view of the customer, the manager had apparent authority to make that offer to him.

I’ve had success with choosing restaurants that allow you to create a prix fixe menu so there’s no worry with splitting a bill when people order meals with huge price differences.  It’s even better when there’s a drink package that people can choose whether to opt in or not.

Her family had enough money to send her to the same schools William attended.  They are not aristocracy or old money as they view it in the UK, but I thought they would be at least upper middle class in the US.

Sometimes you have to make companies take a financial hit to get true change.

This has all been settled already: he’s back as the host. I don’t believe that Kevin would go on this “apology” tour or that the Oscars would put it out there that they’re interested in bringing him back if all the parties involved had not negotiated the terms of his return.  There were conversations behind the…

I assume the argument is that the burden is shared by everyone for a shorter amount of time rather than being shouldered by the least-advantaged for a longer period of time.

Yup, the real team spirit would have been his team forfeiting the match for him!  Or all of them cutting their hair, but it’s not the same really.

Oh my god.  These people ARE the people they are “warning” us about.  Random men going into bathrooms trying to look at people’s genitals!

Yes, this was not the right way to report on what Pete is going through.

You yadda yadda yadda’d through the best parts! What was the in appropriate stuff? How did they mess up your teeth?!

She did ask him to stop and then he complained to a CBS exec about her.

I don’t think there’s any way they would have allowed all this to happen without Cardi’s camp signing off on it.  No way!  Even if Cardi herself didn’t know, someone high in her camp did and at least said it was ok.

These dudes literally got their barbers to give them the hairline of a 4-year-old Brazilian boy.

I’m dying!  Why did you wait until he finished?!  You were doing to keep it if it looked good, weren’t you?

Yeah, most companies require you to sign a document saying you won’t sue them when you get severance. How horrible for him.

He should talk to a lawyer.  You’re not required to disclose that kind of information to an employer.

When I’ve had events with open bars, the caterer or venue added a service charge on top of the fee that was a tip for the staff. At my wedding they weren’t supposed to take tips, and I was glad because we’d already paid and I didn’t want my guests paying for anything. I’ve also hosted smaller events at restaurants and…

Yes, people probably do argue about it. They put television movies in the TV category, not film. Has a Netflix or Amazon movie ever been nominated for an award? I wonder what category they put that in. There’s no reason Netflix itself needs to be viewed as “TV” over “movies”.  Maybe there’s a requirement that it needs…

Emily Blunt being nominated for supporting actress for A Quiet Place is bullshit. She was lead actress, and they are playing games because they knew she wouldn’t get nominated for lead actress for Mary Poppins and A Quiet Place.

Penelope Cruz is from Spain and people debate about whether that is Latina/Hispanic.
