Words are always subject to interpretation. That doesn’t make all interpretations equally valid. Your interpretation was invalid, for the reasons that’ve been noted.

You’re interpreting his words to be “Never pay when you are being marketed to”. He was obviously saying “Never pay for the purposes of being marketed to”. Hence, “Never pay to be marketed to”.

Incidental: “accompanying but not a major part of something.”

Your assumption is flawed, due to your failure to understand that people pay to see the team compete, not for anything related to the advertising. The advertising is incidental. Look up the word of you don’t know it— that the stadium is named “staples” is definitionally incidental. I also didn’t insult anyone’s…

That’s a dishonestly false scenario.

None of those are paying to be marketed to. The marketing in each is incidental...that you don’t understand the difference indicates profound ignorance.

It’s funny how few people understand how ethics work, and think they can make blanket statements that ignore the nuances of the question without it being obvious that they don’t understand.

It is not “insane”.

Obviously, there’s certain parallels here with the Gawker case, but I feel like the conversation about privacy always friggin’ weird.

 This article (The title makes you think it’s going to be a terrible article, but while it mentions the shitty victim blaming, it seems like it comes down against it) says that it was reported her BAC was .13 hours later (Which means it was higher during), but I still am not certain. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/maryvill…

I’m pretty sure that has to be a mg/dL reading, maybe as “high point” or something; I think HP makes a column analyzer...

Kudos to her for not being willing to take a settlement. Whether it’s silence as a requirement or even just the ol’ “does not admit any wrongdoing” clause, settlements often just aren’t as good as a day in court.

Or a sweet new band name.

I drive an ambulance for a living. Well, technically, my EMT drives 90% of the time. Not the point. Point is: This is actually not necessarily bullshit. At this point in our national conversation, it’s probably bullshit just...well, because. But:

I assume they attended for the same reason I attend weddings: To raid the open bar and to steal silverware.

I’ve heard tell of people leavin’ the greys. Never seen it, myself, but they say that up where it ain’t grey, it’s all light, and there ain’t no more sufferin’. Mebbe some day...

Little Giant ladders are the best ladders. And you might think “Hey, does it really matter?” The answer, surprisingly, is yes it matters. My folks have one...I do not, unfortunately, but the day comes I get a ladder again, it’s 100% going to be a Little Giant.

Little Giant ladders are the best ladders. And you might think “Hey, does it really matter?” The answer,…

Doesn’t this have shades of another situation of supposedly unknown recording and then sale to a media outlet? TMZ wins...Gawker disintegrates?

If you shave your legs, you’re washing them...isn’t shaving cream basically just soap anyway?

Thanks!
