Rocky IV might be the goofiest of the franchise, so I’m glad to hear that Creed II somehow gives it some needed depth.

I think he’s just an asshole. not mentally ill.

The Ann Coulter live show is off to an amazing start.

Social media is a hell of drug to someone suffering from mental illness.

Most definitely, but they paid him a severance, so I think that may have cleared them of any legal backlash. He didn’t have any fight left in him and I’m sure he took the little bit of money to avoid another work-related manic episode.

I’m fortunate that I can and I did. I took a month off right when we were getting extra busy. My office absorbed my work and never said a word about to me.

He should talk to a lawyer.  You’re not required to disclose that kind of information to an employer.

Word! I worked with a guy last year that didn’t show up to work for a week no one could get into contact with him. he later called in and informed our bosses that he suffers from depression and schizophrenia. Suffice to say he was let go; not because he took the week off to get himself together but because he didn’t…

When confronted with a similar scenario you deescalate the situation and don’t treat people like sitting on the floor is equivalent to a crime. Trying to pull a child out of a mother’s arms is not deescalation. 

There will be lots of really bad hot takes for this, and I am here for it. This cover rules.

Yes because medical costs here are so high - high insurance premiums, high deductibles, and high post-insurance adjusted expenses. Even with a good salary, great insurance, and lots of savings, I am TERRIFIED of getting a serious illness or injury. And for those with shitty insurance? I cannot even begin to comprehend…

Goddammit another misleading headline: totally thought this was going to be a Mr. Robot style hijack and am disappointed it’s just workaday folks doing good things for strangers. Borrrring!

Although it sounds like they’re at least basing that on convictions and not just arrests? Because this company was denying people housing based solely on arrest records, which is next level bullshit for multiple reasons. 

This is a huge problem in the world of affordable housing. A lot of state and local agencies have a policy of giving preferential treatment to low income applicants who don’t have a criminal record. I understand the impulse, but it just feeds back into our country’s criminal recidivism rate. 

This is a self-own in ways you’ll never fully appreciate.

Exactly and an Oscar winning actor at that. I don’t often agree with the Academy (I find them horribly out of touch and no longer that relevant) however his win was just and deserving. 

Yep. Dude isn’t a “black actor,” he’s an actor.

“aggravated assault” for what, being shot by a cop?

Unless you live in Brooklyn and maybe the Bronx since the melanin deprived can’t afford Manhattan and moving to what used to be the ‘hood is okay now because there is kombucha and yoga.
