When the company is otherwise profitable and the only need is to demonstrate growth to drive up the price of a share, and those “costs” are human beings who were never going to see any of that money anyway since they were being paid out of profits- yeah that seems crazy to me that that’s even legal much less an…

Sure all these peoples’ lives have been upended and they’ve got to process the loss while trying to find similar work, but if the shareholders don’t see balance sheet growth year over year, um...I guess they’d just have to use the money generated by the products and services they sell to fund the business directly

Zane, you shit into a bowl of water because it blocks the smell from wafting back up your pipes and making your house smell like raw sewage. You flush, the bowl fills and overflows into the pipe, the water sitting in the curve of the pipe is now clean and there’s never a way for air to get through the bend

I’m commenting on a stub article mostly consisting of (and complaining about) an embed of a reply to a tweet, so who the fuck am I to judge? Give em hell, CC!

One possible reason: it’s mid-February and something mildly interesting happened in sports. That’s all the explanation I need in these lean times

You can go where ever you want, but you’ve got a responsibility to answer for that support when it hurts other people. No one worth listening to is saying “you can’t go there,” they’re asking “why are you going somewhere that discriminates?”

You can keep the masses convinced that everyone with money is an intelligent and pragmatic natural leader or you can keep booking Eric and Don Jr. You cannot do both

No judgements for wanting to enjoy the earthly delights of the moment, but widely available ultra-processed foods have all sorts of other cascading consequences that have really contributed to the current state of the world. Maybe enough people rejecting them is a way to build a world you’d want to spend more time in

I think you’re correct, but I still think the answer to your questions is “no/not really.” Fox works on a feedback loop with their audience (with PACs, thinktanks, and whatnot spiking their shit into circulation too). When the network is flailing because their policies are rotten odds are the audience is right there…

With some fucking tact and diplomacy? It seems like people can discuss Saudi PACs and lobbying without clumsily referencing Islamophobic stereotypes just fine.

It’s beyond pointless, without that contrast this article is basically incomplete. The issue is that white, hetero, cis-male teens have legitimately never faced the kind of struggle that the current generation does, because historically everyone else has instead. The structures historically meant to signal boost those…

What about a 2019 take on The Man Show that spends most of it’s time explicitly dealing with toxic masculinity in a satirical way? They could use clips from the previous versions, Carolla and Kimmel’s fratty entitlement and Rogan and Other Guy’s aggro scumbag vibes are different enough that I think you could find…

If you want to hold that opinion you’re entitled to it, but you should probably call it what it is: Whataboutism.

Karl Malone was a reccuring segment, not a one time thing. He eventually replaced himself in blackface with a Karl Malone puppet (they had that puppet-prank calling show, the breakout character in that was named “Special Ed”). Kimmel’s been better than most about addressing the shitty stuff he used to do on camera so…

If a Republican had done this exact same thing, I would not hesitate to call it anti-Semetic so I’m not hesitating here either. A person who brings up Jews and Money together and truly didn’t realize immediately regrets that and apologizes. Full stop. She didn’t and hasn’t, she needs to fuck off same as anyone else

And if a frog had wings, he wouldn’t bump his ass when he hops. What’s your point, the numbers discussed in an article are going to improve because society will collectively adopt your “well, fuck em” attitude and decide not to count those specific people in the averages? Or did you decide to ignore what I was talking…

The people filing early are typically the ones expecting to get money back, I imagine this is going to get really hairy when people expecting to owe money start filing, especially people who had to eat their savings to make it through the shutdown. Freelancers and contractors especially are going to get raked

Hey, Illinoisan here! Please don’t call it the heartland, it’s reflecting poorly on the rest of us Midwesterners since people might think we actually use that term unironically. It kinda sorta reinforces the “No True Scotsman” fallacy by implying any part of America is fundamentally more American than another, doncha…

It’s the suburban districts, specifically white women. They broke for Trump once but don’t want to again. Gerrymandering is powerful, but they’re basically the one voting block no one back then predicted would go purple (poli-sci dogma says they vote with their husbands) and now there’s a nice looking man saying the…

I liked it a lot when I watched it, the action is incredibly well constructed and the characters are fun, but I hope they’ve decided to address the pacing. The entire first season ended up feeling like an exposition-heavy pilot episode instead of the end of a first volume
