That’s interesting and all, but that doesn’t change the fact that many corporations provide that guidance in perfunctory fashion, or in employee handbooks that are read once and then promptly forgotten.

Because most places don’t have formally trained interviewers and so people interviewing aren’t well versed in the ins and outs of what is and is not illegal.

I think if you are assuming they know they aren’t supposed to ask it, that you have never spent much time inside a normal corporate environment.

I think she’s trying to say that Rosa Parks is more relevant in our day and age. That might actually be something that could be argued for even!

I think Courtney Stodden was more attractive before all of the plastic surgery she’s done. This is a thing that I think most guys would agree with me on, though I could be wrong. Shrug.

I see how stupid the arrangement is, but it is the agreed upon arrangement. They can sue if they feel Goodell doesn’t make a decision by the letter of the contract, but if he does and they are suing because they just don’t like it, they will lose.

Whew. I have never been more grateful to hear that a movie is a wheels off shitshow than I am now.

I think Kotaku routinely addresses the root cause of that issue, which is that gaming communities that can create profession eSports gamers treat women like shit.

Well, see, now when you say it like that, it actually starts to make a bit more sense ...
