I’m almost tempted by this offer ... I read the first Jack Reacher novel and the introduction by the (British) author which included items like: I never understood the idea of the hero failing, I much preferred crushing victory (somewhat paraphrased due to bad memory). Between that and the novel itself I realized that

It’s probably more expensive now - unless you’re looking to hire bit name stars (in which case it’s probably cheaper even nowadays) but as the technology develops I’m pretty sure it’ll be cheaper to create these hyper realistic animations rather than have real actors (who cost more than just wages -there’s workers

It’s classic nice white woman. She’s not getting the sympathy and softness and understanding she (thinks) she deserves and, because that sort of unreserved empathy is commonly offered to white, young, more-or-less conventionally attractive white women she’s totally bewildered. I’d guess she assumes people just aren’t

Corporate HR bureaus are infamously without much in the way of oversight and there are no requirements that they tell you anything at all.  Separate issue from what this guy might or might not have done -it’s entirely possible that he was show the door without being given any idea as to the details of what the reasons

Heh.  I think they should just livestream the video around the memorial. Vandals and racist assholes would be outed and folks who are visiting the memorial because it memorializes someone important are unlikely to be ashamed to be seen there.

Guess we’ll be seeing more cases like the California vs. Lyft come to pass, if businesses do that.

People seem to calculate the richest rich’s net worth all the time ... like, Forbes and etc? Plus ... even if the wealthiest never pay taxes, they have to file them so previous years taxes would be used to determine that year’s tax.

Is there some reason a private company can’t simply ban politcal ads entirely?  I mean, fake ‘news’ and other items intended to sway political decisions would undoubtedly slide through regardless but ... Facebook isn’t a place anyone should be getting their political information from.

Because confessions depend on building a sense of trust (combined with fear) between the interrogator and the victim, which - when two people don’t know each other well - is easier done when you lie to build false sympathy, lie to exaggerate the possible consequences or the solidity of the evidence and lie by promising

Causing cats to loose weight too quickly is bad for them.  It’s much better (and more effective) if you do it via exercise.  Surprisingly enough, it’s the same for humans.

This is probably why he’s clinging ot the presidency with both hands.  When he’s out of office, his house of cards is going to collapse with him in it.

Does this mean we don’t have to look at the Kardishan’s plastic faces anymore?

Oh yeah, they all suck.  There just isn’t a casual relationship between the two (or, at least, no backwards cause from American chattel slavery to the Indian caste system - I have no idea of American whites took cues from India).

The caste system existed long, long before Europeans came to India, or the concept of race - as we understand it now - is used.  They didn’t create it to replace a system of racial discrimination and it’s their own thing, not something developed in response to the various ways Europeans do hate.

It looks terrifyingly sterile.

Me?  And I don’t own a car at all.

It’s almost as if greedy rich assholes don’t care what happens once they’ve got your money.  Or ... perhaps even better ... they’d love it if you bought cars as often as you bought iPhones.

Religious tourism for clicks and $$.  

It’s hilarious that Warren, of all people, is considered a dreamer now. She’s been in the trenches of the crazy financial complexities of this country for years ... she’s anything but a dreamer. My guess is that she knows exactly how her health coverage would work but it’ll sound unpalatable - most likely, a
