So if a pharma company hires more reps they’re a pyramid?

A pyramid scheme is defined by investment and recruitment without an actual product. As far as I know, LLR consultants aren’t supposed to bring in more consultants, and there is an actual product that gets sold.

Ah, that makes sense. What a bunch of bullshit—these companies obviously only make money getting other people to sign up as sellers and be a part of their downline. Potayto / potahto.

I am going to say it.

Tucker Carlson finding actual physical difficulty in performing the task of breaking that news is priceless.

I said your joke was dumb, not that I’m tired.

Too black-mirror-y. The world is on fire. We are adults. I don’t want a chipper pig.

The fact that nice, church going older black ladies lock stepped for “super predator” labeling Hillary is almost as weird to me as union members who vote for republicans. Hillary would have been much better than Trump but that is the lowest bar in American political history.

“Sanders isn’t the absolute, 100%, perfect candidate ever ...

There is another article up today asking why the left is failing. This article is why. Like him or loathe him, Sanders did more to energize the voting left than anyone else has done recently.

I think they know what happened, Rudy Guede murdered her and was convicted for it. The case against Amanda Knox and her boyfriend was just a witch hunt fueled by the press and public.

From what I can piece together, he was on the entry level of the house.

Everyone. Needs. To. Get. Over. Foot-phobia.

I sympathize with Doesn’t Hate But Can Sometimes Be Stupid.

Counterpoint: fuck shoes. Let her be.

I don’t get being perturbed by someone else’s bare feet in an office setting, assuming they don’t stink. Just like...don’t look at her feet? I spend 95% of my time already not looking at people’s feet, so why not make it an even 100%, you know?

I haven’t seen a single message saying he should be denied the right to voice his message. Like you said people simply are saying “they don’t like it” which is a reasonable response.

I think this analysis ignores the open secret of nutritional science: looking at a food only for it’s health effects gives an incomplete picture. We need to understand how the food affects our appetite, too. Too often the conclusion of these articles is “[E]at whatever kind of [given food] you want, as long as it’s in…
