I’ll bet a lot of people describe you as “off putting.”

Guilty. Just know that even after all these years, I still feel shame about it every single day.

I’m with you, the comment is a little over the top. That said, “normal” porn certainly has evolved over the years where much of it is kind of questionable. In particular is blow jobs where it’s become almost common for the woman to choke and gag while doing it. Slapping and spanking too. Just all around de-humanizing…

Often times in a complicated case they initially throw a charge at someone that they can quickly get through a grand jury, while they then investigate further and add charges later on. If they find evidence of per-meditation they certainly will change it to 1st. I’m sure they’ll add others as well.

Making RBI’s a useful stat again, way to go Jonah!

It was easy to say “He’s back!” when he won in April. I wish it was true, but the reality is that with his body that was likely his Jack Nicklaus in ‘86 moment. Not to say he can’t do it again, but the days of him competing regularly are over.

Functioning economy for whom?

Not a Biden fan, at all. But he’s not the one who made quite sure to score political points for allowing a union and promising better working conditions, only to revert to GOP fat cat tactics when the going got a little tough. I mean anyone who has ever worked for a shitty greedy company in their life recognizes the…

Jeez, makes you wish there was a candidate campaigning to break this exact paradigm.

Essentially they tried a bait and switch on the workers. The GOP would be proud of Bernie. That’s like Bad Faith Negotiating 101.

Why is everybody bending over backwards pretending he is unaware? We’re talking about like a 5 minute briefing for god’s sake. Will this be how he governs? Reagan 2.0?

Bernie 2020: Business as usual!

Except that using salaried employees like this, where 60 hour weeks are the norm and not the exception, is illegal and all. And exploitative. And a violation of like his entire platform. You yeah, besides that.

He may not manage day to day but to reluctantly use your business comparison, any CEO of any company at the very least will be kept abreast and have input on contentious labor negotiations. So it’s a big stretch to give him a pass on this, particularly since it is his like ENTIRE CAMPAIGN PLATFORM! I mean the only…

So you’re saying it’ll be the Showgirls of musicals?

What 50 Shades of Grey was to erotic literature, Cats was to Broadway musicals.

I got dragged to this THREE times in my life. (family trip, hs field trip, a gf who just had too see it) It simply astounded me how aggressively terrible it was, but it was so fucking popular. Each time I wanted to stand up and scream, “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? THIS IS BAD! REALLY REALLY BAD!!!”

You do understand that most economic models don’t anticipate profits in their early stages. Hell, Silicon Valley as a whole lives by that credo. You ever hear of Amazon, you know the world’s most valuable company? Guess how many years it took them to turn a profit.

Apt user name.

I see your point, but the painful reality is that they desperately the platform and infrastructure they provide to survive. Sort of a Catch 22.
