I’m not terribly surprised since this review is written by a white guy, but this is an awful review of a great, essential episode of television. Please check out Ira Madison’s Daily Beast write up for a more nuanced, thoughtful take on how this ep tackles racism in America.

Every experience is a possibility for future growth. Get kicked down, find yourself in a bad situation? Learn from it. Grow from it. Find out you’re better than that jerk ass, and become a better person.

I'd hire Stokes in a minute; competent, decisive, and unwilling to be shit on by management. Good on you.

I hope she sues them for a lot of money. Secondly, UO are scumbags. The fact they changed their approach so their players can play in the tourney is stomach churning. I hope the administration who hide and approved this "transition", which sounds like she was forced to leave or accept some shirty role so she would

Yep, the irony to this, is that UO will essentially be sued by all sides now. It'll be sued by the rape victim, this employee for wrongful termination, and probably the government for Title IX violations

What a stupid, podunk, insecure little company farm Oregon is for letting this shit happen. Outside of Portland, there's a quivering little nothing of a state that lets itself get steamrolled by Phil Knight, Nike, Intel and just about anyone else who makes them feel "big time" for just a second. Usually it's just a

Why does it matter if they returned the records to the counseling center? Do they not have copy machines in Oregon?

Fuck Oregon.

The industry around big-school big-sport college athletics is such scum and is so well known as scum that finding out another instance is barely even news anymore. Ugh.

You'll see similar arguments against public employee unions all the time (or unions in general): Why should they make a living wage when I'm working a shitty job making minimum with no job guarantees?

I know - choosing not to tip on "principle" is basically the same as me feeling like I'm making a difference by not donating money to anything. I mean, at least I'm not donating to the bad organizations right?! I'm so principled.

Oh honey...

Also, can we talk about the hypocrisy in this article? Bartlett wants owners to "improve the livelihood of those in the service industry." Well, by not tipping, Bartlett is supporting the owner's businesses (by eating the food) while simultaneously screwing over the workers (by not leaving a tip). Also. To hold China

Sorry, but this is gross. I've read all these other stories and yours is the only one where the cheater seems to have had reason to fear she might be in actual danger. All you guys ganging up on her and not letting her leave the table was gross. Dump her, yell at her, confront her, whatever, but when someone wants to

It's very simple: stop telling women what's okay for them to do with their bodies. Respectability politics are bullshit, regardless of the gender of the one doing the preaching. Live and let live. Just be.

Funny how the fact that humans as a collective are ridiculously stupid still manages to surprise me from time to time... This is a goddamn nonexistent issue. A person is streaming under their own name tag, showing herself playing... As it´s her fucking channel she can dress any way she wants. The only case anyone has

Soooo tldr.

Guys, it's none of our fucking business whether or not a woman wants to show some skin while streaming. Long as she isn't violating the TOS, she can do whatever the hell she wants. I'd like to think that a lot of people understand this.
