So Rice is perhaps understandably skeptical of some of the corporate infrastructure that has been built up around what is, at its core, an organic, grassroots movement.

This is really only true in the US and the Euro area.

This interpretation is wildly closed-minded and also casually overlooks the fact that the Bible literally says that humans were created to know and worship God (Ecclesiastes, Genesis) and not just to bone until death. But that’s neither here nor there.

The softness of these new gossip accounts may be a backlash to the cruel gossip industry that preceded it

At this point I doubt that. At this point what they are “investigating” is the fine print of her contract for how they are going to get out cleanly.

Yikes, that sounds terrifying, honestly.

Is any commentator really doing that? Maybe some randos on Twitter are, but honestly the media seems to be ... covering this fine? Unless I’ve missed that particular turn from the take machine.

Steady on.

It’s true, though if people are at the point where they’ve gotten their first shot, they’ve already got a lot of protection.

Yep.

$350 million is 1% of the game’s goal?  You sure you’re reading that number right?

This is just not true. Plenty of aspects of science are settled and that includes many basic facts about the biological differences between the sexes.

I work in a heavily regulated environment now.  Thankfully we just do it all online.  The best parts are the Shutterstock photos they use for the sexual harrassment training.  So cringe.

I’m talking about my own background, upbringing and life through my late 20s lol.

Less “classism” and more “realistic self-assessment of who I and my co-workers were was when I was slinging tacos when I was a teen and then an adult fallen on hard times”. Some were good people with no options, but some were also working fast food for a reason and when it was time to do things like change out the…
