By the time you’ve actually been arrested you’re already “guilty,” even if you somehow get acquitted (which you won't). From what I've read your life is just kinda over once you get arrested.

It was enough to put a person off Reese’s Pieces.

Showing my age, here... but this p.o.s right here was mine:

Some of the Adult Party Cartoons were unpleasant or disturbing, but I just dismissed it as John K and Spike wanting to be as edgy as possible. But watching some of those live DVD intros many years ago made me genuinely uncomfortable. Not enough that I immediately suspected criminal behavior, but enough that when the…

One of my closest friend’s sisters has tested positive for covid-19. That would be worrying in any case, but they share a house, which they’ve now essentially split to try and self-quarantine from each other. My friend asked about testing for herself (her sister got it pre-surgery), but her doctor insists that it’s…

By the same token, a company can have a ton of web presence and still not tell you if a company is a…

There’s often 3 weeks to a month before you get paid. All this came out at 6 weeks, seems like a reasonable timeline.

Wow, it’s crazy how you can be so condescending and yet so wrong in the same comment.

Said like someone who has never experienced how much time and money a lawsuit sucks up.

Without a contract it can be difficult, especially since many of the people affected were in different countries.

Forgive my language, but...wow, for real, fuck this guy. As someone who works in the industry, it’s a little hard to even put into words how angry a story like this makes me.
