*the first 2 seasons.
Man, Skins was so fucking good.
What do Daniel Kaluuya, Gilly and Gendry from Game of Thrones, and Dev Patel all have in common?
That’s the problem: No laws whatever to deal with these situations where “contractors” have just one client from whom their entire livelihood depends, and a fickle client at that. You’ll probably say “So what, no one’s forcing them” but that does not make the problem of companies taking abusive advantage from people…
Imagine for a moment that the sum total of the career skills that you’ve developed in life stop and end at driving a car. Now imagine that the online retail industry is dominated by a single company who has zero impetus to be a reputable and honest employer of *your type* of labor.
You’re now scratching and clawing…
It’s not exploitation when people are freely choosing to do these jobs.
The two are not mutually exclusive. If you are someone with few skills besides driving, and you need to pay the bills you will take the job and try to protect it. In fact I would bet that someone with fewer options and holding a crappy position would be more likely to resort to extreme measures to keep it than someone…
Pfft, kids shouldn’t be on a tablet they didn’t build themselves out of organic lentils.
It was a family resturant(both were), Ihop is disgusting, and people with kids enjoy $2 mimosas and the sunday only breakfast-brunch menu too. Deciding that women and children can’t exist in spaces because it inconveniences you is discriminatory.
Give me a fucking white list, Youtube.
Tom and Jerry is one thing, but even a cursory dive into videos that are being algorithmically served to children finds stuff like this.
The “Lentil Wedding” of parenting crowd.
When Jen Kirkman reneged on her story and specifically said it was not Louis, I believed her. Since she was someone named on record, that was tho only real information any of us had. Then Jez was writing posts that were just like, “Email us if you have heard anything about Louis C.K. being sexually inappropriate,” and…
I’d be praising the NYT right now, they’re the real winners.
Yeah. This is the part that doesn’t sit well with me about this article. I never assume a victim is lying, but I need a victim before I can make any assumptions. I feel like this article paints the commentariat as sexual assault apologists which is mostly disingenuous.
I enjoy that the response from the Jezebel writers on being called out is to just correct you on which news outlet broke the story <eyeroll>
Yeah, but that’s not how journalism ethics works. The story had credibility but the reporting.... didn’t. No real sources, no real facts to report. I get that was incredibly frustrating for Jezebel (and the other ex-gawker sites), but that doesn’t give them a license to just keep stirring the pot publicly on the hopes…
Two publications that both broke stories about public figures committing sexual misconduct within hours of each other. It’s an easy mistake to make and it doesn’t make their criticism any less valid.
None of them surprise me, but this is the first one to disappoint me (other than in the sense of general disappointment I feel that this is the world we live in).
