I feel like I’ve seen this movie....

Do you also think it’s immoral for prison guards, prison administrators, doctors, nurses, etc. to get paid for their work?

I doubt it (boxers aren’t employees subject to management supervision/discipline, but are instead independent contractors, AFAIA), but it could theoretically be the subject of a common law battery claim (since there’s probably a good argument that the implied consent to be battered in a boxing match doesn’t extend to…

I get the same result. Even the cheapest used copy is more than $37 right now.

Having a consensual, extramarital affair with someone in your employ does lack moral turpitude. But comparing it to the rampant misogyny and power-mongering of someone like Trump attempting to use his power and influence to intimidate women into sleeping with him against their will, or bragging about how he can touch…

Egg Fu is a DC villain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_Fu

You do realize that free coverage of Trump in a “look at this fucking guy” manner helped him to win the Presidency right? Free TV time to spew his bullshit that no other candidate got. He was on CNN, NBC, all the supposed “liberal media” outlets.

Some people are born Jets fans. Some people have Jets fandom thrust upon them.

At the risk of being called an insensitive jerk, that is a hard-looking 27 years. If you’d told me he was in his 40s I would have believed you.

I don’t think the story is heavily implying it, but as I was reading this story I was thinking about how if this was posted to Jezebel there would be numerous multi-hundred word comments spinning elaborate theories about how he had raped (a detail Jezzies often insert into their reconstructions of crimes even when…

OK, yes, I agree that if you buy it directly from the owner, then no salesman gets a commission, but the post was about buying from sellers on Amazon who will virtually all be reselling books they obtained from elsewhere, not selling their own personal copies.

The salesman still gets a commission on a used car sale (albeit a smaller one than a new car sale usually). Perhaps you’re thinking of the manufacturer?

As someone who orders books from Amazon almost weekly, I’d say that your experience isn’t representative and you should be complaining to Amazon. The handful of times that I’ve gotten damaged books from Amazon proper as the seller, they’ve sent me a replacement copy with free overnight shipping and told me to go…

I strongly suspect that classics are frequently sold in trade paperbacks these days because the publishers have determined that the demand for them is relatively inelastic so there’s no reason to produce a cheaper version in hopes of more sales. (I.e., the same reason that nonfiction books on niche subjects are…

I starred you presuming you meant, “Amendment 25.”

The Russian dictator has free speech rights on Facebook by Sandberg’s logic. Should he be able post content that may happen to influence other countries’ elections?

Well, if Trump is seen mourning the victims, wouldn’t that mean to them that he’s part of the conspiracy and a liar too? Lolololol.

Pointing out that the costume overaccentuates her breasts relative to the original costume design might be nitpicky, but I don’t see how it merits a smartass remark about tipping fedoras. (In fact, AFAICT, critiques of overaccentuated breast armor are de rigeur on Kinja blogs — see, e.g.,…

That both sides shit is tiresome. It’s not true.

That was in a speech, not a tweet, and thus completely irrelevant to the subject of Twitter’s policies on swearing, but nice try.
