It does fit into the equation somewhat, but probably not enough. Beyond the base pay of any random background actor, their contribution and worth isn’t really tied to acting ability or, really, time at all - but their ability to get butts in seats to watch the show (i.e. what makes the show money).

That’s not technically a free speech issue. It’s not that you can’t trespass into someone’s private space to scream at someone - it’s that you can’t trespass at all.

Oh yes, I agree - it’s Microsoft definitely has to give more of an explanation, and probably will be as the proceeding continues.

That’s the problem of looking at taxes in the form of cost without looking at the benefit.

While you can’t negate the asshole factor, probably the difference is with policy and training.

It’s a pattern in that flight attendants who ask passengers to move bags under a seat to the overhead compartment hundreds of times every single day probably reflexively do that.

Just want to mention, I don’t see any problem with taking a dog on a flight. The person probably checked United guidelines, which states dogs that size can be put under the seat. And we don’t normally associate flights with any particularly high risk of dying. In which case, taking a dog with you is a perfectly fine,…

Someone else mentioned the “being arrested for not listening to a flight attendant and getting dragged off the plane” - just want to mention the woman in question also had a child and a baby with her - which increases the danger if the flight attendant was arguing with her in a heated manner (as reported).

Some dogs generally just bark when they hear random noises (or most dogs at that), so barking isn’t necessarily a sign of distress - if anything it’s a sign that the dog was fine and alive. Then the barking stopping would most logically been interpreted as oh ok the dog calmed down and went to sleep. It’s a three hour…

OK, just pointing out that it, however, doesn’t allow the government to stop counterprotests.

It depends on how broadly worded “gender discrimination complaints” are - it’s conceivable for example, Microsoft has a system allowing everyone to submit “comments” which would increase the number of “complaints” but most of them would not truly reflect gender discrimination.

No it does not. It requires governments to be neutral - i.e. if the government wants to pass a law and enforce a law preventing Nazis from lynching pro-Israel speech givers, they also need to enforce the law protecting Nazis from being lynched while giving speeches.

Nothing wrong with listening to people who disagree with you.

You can become “entitled” after becoming rich. One factor is that, he appears to have had a lot of luck involved.

There’s a lot of little things that are easier (like looking up ingredient measurements while cooking) but one of the subtle things I think it does is improve flow when you’re at home and talking and hanging out with loved ones and family, in a way you might not realize since we’re used to phones and screens around us…

Just a short list:

“Yes, these future lawyers believe that free speech is acceptable only when it doesn’t offend them,” Weiss writes. “Which is to say, they don’t believe in it at all.”

Just wondering, why “Actor” instead of “Actress”?

As stated elsewhere, it’s supposed to be served at room temperature (I’m assuming that’s what you meant by ‘cold’ - rather than they roasted it the previous day and took it out of the fridge - in which case that would just be wrong). Good barbecue should also be roasted such that it should be just as crispy at room…
