I mean, if you’ve ever built and managed a retail foodservice labor model, it’s patently false that automation with staff augmentation doesn’t reduce costs. It does. Drastically. Labor is your highest line item, followed by product cost. But labor includes recruitment, hiring, training, a roughly 40% load for eligible…

For perspective, I once worked for the DV coalition in one of the bluest states in the country. It STILL took nearly a decade to pass legislation along these lines and in the interim, there were nearly 50 instances of a man being convicted of a DV offense, buying a gun and using it to shoot his partner and/or their…

I used to work in a popular restaurant where we’d get a lot of famous people, and while older fans were generally decent, younger folks (usually going after younger celebrities) were just VILE.

“Brrap Brrap Pew Pew” from BoJack Horseman; it’s probably one of the best written abortion stories out there. Not only does Diane get an abortion, to her, it’s her first and only choice.

No, they didn’t. From Oher’s 2011 biography:

So just to be clear: The Black man who is the ACTUAL victim -and the only person who should have an opinion- is saying “leave her alone”, but the great ”student of journalism” is deciding to ignore his words so we can perform white guilt by finding a nice white lady to pillory?

“Student of journalism" reads a LOT like that time Tyra Banks "went to Harvard" by taking a few Extension courses.

Also, quick question, but when did she GET there? Because if she’s been there for say, a week, she’s one of thousands of tourists that are still stuck there because they couldn’t...you know... plan the future of Hawaii wildfire damage. The only difference between Hilton and Joey Q Tourist is that she has the money to…

My backup car is a 2006 Focus- automatic transmission and currently at 239k miles. It’s a loud ride due to the whole “tin can on wheels” thing, but she still works fine if I unexpectedly need a backup, and it was my primary vehicle until 2020.

There’s been a lot of dialogue about the nuances involved, and it doesn’t help that women already are at a pretty heavy disadvantage in the LGTBQ+ community. It’s a very “gay cis man” community perspective, and even other queens have had debates on using phrases like “fish”, having the privilege to display femininity…

Considering that AV Club couldn’t be bothered to even link to the photo, the appropriate drama, or explain the references, you’re welcome:

I mentioned 3H below as well, and that’s because the primary choice had a real consequence on the story.

I really wanted to like Engage, but can’t bring myself back to it, especially since the only DLC I was interested in released day one.

Welp, Jez has a history of posting bounties for unretouched photoshoots, so maybe get on that?

I was watching the CBS live feed- if that wasn’t a riot, I don’t know what is. That construction site was decimated, and Cenac himself had to be picked up and bodysurfed by cops to safety in order to avoid the mob.

My sympathy for the Duggar kids (that are now adults) is limited. Even in Shiny Happy People, they talk about “not being paid”... and five minutes later we hear about how their parents bought the acres of land upon which they live, built their massive homes, paid for their nice clothes, cars and hair, and signed it…

Still may happen. I was watching the CBS live feed and the police keep asking the reporters to move behind them because the crowd is throwing shit at them.

Right? Rare or not, a shit ton of labor (including from her own employer) went into searching for this woman. Small businesses lost revenue. Federal dollars were used to find her AND the fake kid. If it's such a rare occurrence, why NOT throw the book at her?

Michael Richards was pretty instantaneous, but I’m struggling to think of an overnight collapse to the degree of what we’re seeing now with Lizzo. Even Ellen had been critiqued for years about different problematic things before the ceiling collapsed.

Another commenter points out above that the ACTUAL number is 55 million, issued to every working person on her tour, including catering, rigging personnel, etc that would only be in one city. Per usual, Jez didn't do their homework and used half the story to get a dig in at Swift.
