I think Malia is the blur behind Sasha that Michelle is talking to.

I think I understand the appeal so much better than I used to. It's not about the sex, it's about fantasizing there is a young man who behaves and dresses like a 60 year old man.

I take the fact that she had the job at all as evidence that something hinky was going on.

The way that Christian Grey is obviously based on a much older woman's sense of fashion and attractiveness retrofitted to some sort of Twilight-Youth ideal?

Oh no! I was saying she deserves that settlement! I mean I think it was likely that she was being targeted by a predator from the beginning. I think it goes beyond sexual harassment of a coworker and more it's that he groomed and abused a young woman under the guise of jump starting her career.

I don't think any of this is her fault and there is absolutely nothing that excuses how she was treated, but I think it was likely that she was being targeted by a predator from the beginning. It's not that he misinterpreted an unrequited workplace crush, it's that he groomed and abused a young woman under the guise…

Oh absolutely. It's just really sad.

It's different because it's not a corporate relations finance job and well, yeah just because Nick isn't going to sexually exploit her doesn't mean they didn't specifically hire her because she was likely to be more mentally pliable than the 40something Dodai (who completely deserved it). I mean, he hired Jessica Coen…

There is no way she deserved this and I am entirely on her side. That being said, when a 24 year old is hired for a job like that there is no explanation aside from A)Daughter of Major Player B)Boss wants to terrorize her sexually.

This is a pervasive problem and according to the short informal poll I took via gchat, only one person had ever worked in a restaurant that formally scheduled contingency shifts, where someone was "on call" to trade shifts with someone if something happened or someone was sick.

Maybe she can't bear to fuck him.

There is a weird paradox where successful single men on a general level prefer women who are (or create the illusion of being) fiscally needy and emotionally fulfilled. Successful single women tend to be the exact opposite.

That's the amazing part. He impersonated a contractor, not a federal employee.

That's what makes this whole thing especially redic. Vegas clubs are tourist attractions. There is a reason why they they have to employ hot people to dance in them. The reason is that the majority of the attendees are middle aged and thick middled.

Yeah, but it's Vegas, where most of the money is generated from tourists. Usually people who are traveling to party plan ahead (like this woman) and that gives the club the ability to create the illusion of exclusivity by limiting their walk in comps to 9s and 10s.

Oh yeah, I agree. I mean from the POV of a bystander. If you're walking along and see kids in a hot car. As long as you approach the car respectfully, you can ask them if they need your help. It's when the kid is too little or disabled to be able to understand if they need help that it's really hard to figure out what…

The haircut thing makes no sense to me because it's one of the few consumer places that always has a waiting area.

I feel like in this situation the kids were old enough to ask for help and apparently did, in which case, go for it. The times that are harder to call are when the child is too small to ask for help or are strapped into a car seat.

This happened to me too! I'm surprised to realize that I'm still upset about it years after I stopped playing.

I've always liked her in a general sense, but lately every time she opens her mouth, she comes off as smart and reasonable. Most people who have been famous as long as her either devolve into a mess or evolve into someone who is extremely out of touch with the world. She seems like she goes out of her way to maintain…
