Very on point, thanks! I am so over this chill bullshit. If you like someone make plans with them. If you like someone tell them. I don’t want a goddamn pen pal, I want someone to eat, drink and be merry with.

I dunno it’s pretty effective for me.

I’m surprised at the number of responses that are basically “Eh, a couple of days wasn’t going to kill her, she totally deserved to get fired”. Really? Really?! Regardless of the time frame, who would wish to prolong that period of uncertainty and fear for their employee? And how well do they think that employee will…

I have about 50 employees, two young managers that mind the day to day customer stuff and two part time assistant managers that back them up. Yes, retail employees can be a pain in the ass, especially the college students. Brown Bottle flu every Saturday morning, etc. But this wouldn’t fly with me.

Nope. It is not ok to have sex in a home where you are a guest. Unless your host very clearly told you that you are free to be intimate with whoever and you didn’t bring it up first. Then I suppose it’s ok because you have the host’s blessing without having put them in the uncomfortable situation of having to tell you…

Yes, neatly and quietly. Where I draw the line (unless I am drunk and horny) is when camping with friends in adjacent tents, because tent walls do not provide enough of a sound barrier to mask all the suspicious sleeping bag rustling.

This position of this article seems to be to really question if there are exploitative practices in the sex industry.

I despise this concept of infantilizing women, suggesting that they are incapable of making educated decisions about their life and their choices and what they will or will not do for money.

You know how us black people love to refer to ourselves as “ethnic”

Lol what. Did you read the article?

But the film makes no effort to couch its take on amateur porn within any realistic sense of the currently-transforming industry and its broad base of performers/platforms/audiences.

I was thinking something very similar, except about Rashida Jones, rather than Jezebel.

Great analysis, Anna. My research is in amateur porn and I’m so tired of seeing both actual amateur and pro am porn being presented as solely sleazy, exploitative, and involving hot young girls. The world of amateur porn is so much bigger and more diverse than documentaries like this one have any desire to admit.

If you love your job, you will never work a day in your life.

If she’s disordered, technically she’s not lying (there has been no suggestion that she is mentally ill tho, this is hypothetical) but that certainly doesn’t mean we should humor her. It means she should be treated.

... but. she didn’t grow up facing discrimination or being held back because of her skin color.

How are things going to work out if I’m call myself white and carry a gun at an airport? Not too well, I imagine.

Considering she has never said that and has just said she was black. Yes it is up to us to say she is ‘lying’.

But ... they’re basically the same thing as bachelor/bachelorette parties.

Also, baby showers are not usually immediately followed up by another event where you’re expected to bring a gift for the same people.
