A year ago polling suggested 63 percent of Australia supported ssm. Now today we find out it was 62. So yes, spending 120 million Australian dollars on a survey could be construed as wasteful and it did give a lot of bigots a platform over the past few weeks. But I’m so sick of conservatives wrongly claiming that…

You know those idiots who say they’ve “written” a novel except it’s only written down in their heads?

Exactly. If he really wants to make the character revolutionary, he should make the middle aged disillusioned man a college professor, then showed him having an affair with an attractive student of his.

I appreciate this breath of fresh air. The woes of middle aged disillusioned men are a frankly underexplored theme in literature and film. I look forward to what will doubtless be a unique insight into this marginalised perspective.

He’s the real life version of the Guy In Your MFA Twitter feed.

The agreement became a problem when Roy Moore discovered it had gotten too old.

I have zero confidence in the people of Alabama not to elect Roy Moore.

I am assuming he checked with a lawyer first about admitting to knowing a crime happened and then helping cover it up? Because sexual assault is a crime, contrary to what a whole bunch of sexual assaulters and rapists and their apologists seem to believe.

My stupid floofers are not only enormous, but have massive meat hooks for paws and claws. They are very kindly, tender children, but Dexter (shouldn’t have named him after a fictional serial killer) likes to get my attention by ‘patting’ at my ankles and legs with his massive claws. And Deb likes to ‘make biscuits’ on…

This is the absolute truth. Doesn’t matter where you work or what you do. I worked as a teacher in a school district where one of the teachers, a long-time veteran and beloved guy, was harassing me non stop. He was telling students to swing bats at my guitar, etc. I had video footage of a lot of the stuff he was…

Given that HR reports to the conpany management, they really cannot be trusted to advocate on behalf of the employee, regardless of the department’s training. HR exists to limit the company’s liability.

That HR response is beyond normal. HR is a department at the company and their job is to protect the company. The whole point of that document was to make sure that in case a lawsuit were to follow, they’d have an admission of guilt they could use to discredit the victim. HR is not your friend.

Hate to break it to you, but HR is designed that way basically everywhere. They serve the company, not you. They only enforce employee protections because doing so protects the company from lawsuits.

The change you’re looking for is a union. HR departments will always work for management and will always work for their interests. At most, they’re trying to limit legal liability and create a paper trail that will protect them from lawsuits.

People need to realize HR departments aren’t there for your rights. They are there to protect the company. The company will always come first.

In her Twitter post Kallie also mentioned that she was informed she would be terminated if “it happened again.” That is some next level disgusting response to a very serious claim.

It took 18 months for my 4yo cat to form some equilibrium with a 6 month old kitten. It’s TOUGH.

To be fair, Taylor Swift already looks like wax figure of Taylor Swift.

He really does look funny. I think that’s part of why he did the whole showman routine back in the day. He looks goofy and he knows it.
