You should try reading and comprehending what I actually wrote and responding to that, not making up some caricatured argument and responding to that. Start with the part you quoted. I didn’t say “Amazon only gives its employees the benefits the law requires.” I pointed out that Amazon is, by definition, not required…

“the way doctors do” ... um who do you think prescribes this? anyway you should be happy to know that this is a very expensive drug and insurance won’t approve it unless you have tried other less expensive remedies.

When you can do a pretty decent job of predicting someone’s weight category based on their zip code, it’s time to stop pretending it’s about personal responsibility and instead address the societal reasons for it.

Excuse me, Doctor? Taking pills for the rest of your life is basically S.O.P. when you are older. My wife, who can basically run rings around me and runs every other day at age 66, has a pace maker, and still takes 5 pills a day for various blood pressure (low) ailments. It is not a hardship once you are used to it…

BOOM!

In all seriousness, I suspect he saw Amanda Knox’s comments creating all this bad press around his movie, including changing the main character from the woman who actually endured the experience to fictional male character who did not.

I think I saw a documentary on a miracle weight loss drug on the BBC some years back. It followed a doctor and his assistant who were investigating a mysterious side-effect where the fat in the body escapes in the form of a sentient baby ball of fat that walks away.
They discovered these babies made of fat were the…

Black Woman to be Missed by Audience Members With Good Taste

I cannot get over just the sheer audacity of the Disney response. Not just that this multi-billion dollar company is invoking the pandemic tragedy as justification to seemingly breach their contract with Johansson, but then they claim that somehow Disney+ has enhanced her capability of earning additional…

Yeah, this is one of the legal cases where I had never really thought about this aspect, but the moment I read the article on it realized how utterly important precedent this is going to be.

You could certainly be confused in fall of 2013. Bill Cosby’s fall from grace happened at the end of 2014 (prompted by a Hannibal Buress clip going viral, of all things). Bill Cosby was still putting out comedy specials at the end of 2013 and generally thought of as an adorable elderly figure, going on the talk show…

And attack the state of California, and basically threaten to leave.

Ensuring that we have a safe and welcoming work environment is my highest priority. The leadership team has heard you loud and clear.

It really isn’t. It’s overstaying its welcome for sure, since it’s mostly regurgitating the same old complaints and memes. The difference is that a lot of the analyses and gripes they had were legitimate AND they’ve managed to channel that into something positive when Emilia Clarke confessed she suffered from an…

I like to think that, at its deepest core, it’s really a subreddit about Bobby B

I bet a lot of them *have* updated their resumes, and it wouldn’t surprise me if headhunters have been sending emails to various employees about other employment options.

Something something Jobs growing on Jobbies.

“I didn’t realize we made someone feel bad because I couldn’t see her face,” doesn’t really hold water for me, because the entire smug, self-satisfied, smarmy tone that they had was clearly intended to make someone feel bad.

Nice try, Giz but I’m still not turning off my ad blocker.
