FYI...I use to work 911, and some people will ask “why do you have to ask the address so many times”. Simple, we ask the same questions multiple times, because under stress, sometimes people will get the address or other information messed up, so we ask questions over and over to make sure we get the correct…

Well, of course there are going to be problems when Apple tries to use windows.

No. She can scream all day long for ever and ever that she consented to this relationship and she will still be wrong. You cannot consent to this type of relationship. Think of it like a 15 year old consenting to a sexual relationship with a 20 year old in a state where the age of consent is 17. The 15 year old…

If I remember what little* I read of The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne rose above her shame and became a Productive Member of Society. But she never quite let go of the incident. I think Monica is doing the same thing, and good on her for it.

Bill is that u

I swear to god. Employee👏 Employer👏 Relationships👏Are👏 Presumptively 👏coercive👏

You mean they’re good to you dudes.

But all we see is you talking. And I won’t assume you see any of the irony in a man trying to cast a woman as “hostile” who is pointing out that all she sees is men talk talk talking about what they “want to see” but sees no changes in what any of those men are doing.  

I appreciate the way that this article cuts through the usual straw-man arguments about this theater chain. It is commendable that the heads of the ADH have empathy for mentally ill customers and recovering alcoholics on their payroll, but the problem is that victims of harassment and assault are not being given the…

I can’t tell you how to flirt. I can tell you how NOT to flirt:

sorry but you do something like this, it doesnt matter if it would destroy you to get banned. you are banned! you made the decision. if you are mentally ill to the point you do things like this, you arent safe out in public! my little brother has autism. he is 22 now. you better believe if he did something like this…

Imagine reading an article about sexual assault and harassment and the first thing you think to type as a comment is “how do I hit on girls without them thinking I’m a creep”. Ew.

The, “But he is disabled,” statement holds no weight. I work in a psychiatric office that specializes in traumatic brain injuries. There are rules of conduct that a patient must follow, or be discharged from their care. If the man had the proper care, he would not be devastated. There are facilities, case managers and…

You’re not going to get sued for flirting

You probably won’t even get sued for harassment.

You claim not to know the difference - well, let me ask you to do a thought experiment.

Imagine you are talking to a big strong gay bodybuilder - a guy physically powerful enough that he could make you do pretty much whatever he…

As someone who loves the no-talking/no-cell policy, it really does need to be expanded to include not sexually harassing/assaulting the employees (or other customers). There should be a zero tolerance policy for it and I don’t care if you are disabled, you do it, you need to go. Period. I would think in a place that…

“But it’ll hurt the man’s feelings!”

Sweet Jesus... when anyone ever asks “Why don’t/didn’t the victims say something?!” Well... It’s because this is just like that part in a fucking horror movie where the establishment tells this guy “Hey uhhhh someone said you said something super rape-y, sign this thing admitting it and don’t do it again” then…

Keep Austin weird, but when we say weird we mean like still allowing all the patriarchal bullshit and sexual subjugation of women but with better music and maybe like a fun tie or white dude dreadlocks, I don’t know, you know what I mean.

Are you serious? The threshold for criminal prosecution is not the bar for employee behavior nor should it be. The one who needs to STFU and do some soul searching is you.

I’m from Austin and have been going to the Drafthouse since the early days and participated in some of their video contests back in the day. I mostly thought of it as a movie theater where you could drink and have food and had cool events sometimes. Weird Wednesday could be fun, but you had to check and make sure it…
