Did he say “Stand down, or become down”? Isn’t the badass line “Stand down, or be put down”? I only went back and listened a 2nd time because fuck twitter, but that sounded like a missed opportunity. Unless because he’s not really a paladin he tried to sound cool and missed. Guess I’ll have to watch the whole series…

Harmony Gold’s business plan always seemed to be to make money off of lawsuits and not the actual content. I’m 42 and I swear they’ve worked harder to prevent me from enjoying a franchise I loved as a kid (and which led me to Battletech, one of my favorite things ever) than they have to make money off of me.

If I’ve…

The husband looks like if Tom Wambsgans made a wish to be a real boy.

dude, you made your money.  Now fuck off, we don’t need you until you’re willing to make amends for what you did and allowed to happen.

Ok - so why hasn’t he gone after the other accusers like he did this one?  He hasn’t really shown a great deal of restraint or self-control in his life and he has engaged in severe harrassment of women on twitter and other social media - so why is he being so cool about the other accusers?  Is it because he can focus…

The accuser was doxxed in the leak, you can see her name in some of the text message screenshots - so why would she release documents that expose her when there’s been so much effort to keep her identity private? Yeah, I guess it’s possible - but play the odds here. Who benefits? Who is ok with collateral damage…

Calm down, Francis.  The person I was responding to was saying it started as a normal relationship and I’m saying that’s impossible.  I have no idea why you’ve written what you’ve written or taken issue with anything I’ve done.  So with all politeness and due respect, fuck off.

Bauer settled one lawsuit with one woman.  He was not “proven innocent” and there are still SEVERAL credible claims against him he has never adjudicated.  This one woman may have lied - but if that’s the case why isn’t he going after all the other accusers with the same fervor?

There is zero evidence that the person who leaked the google drive is the accuser. It’s probably Jos Verstappen or someone in his camp who wants to push Horner out.

This is just “our special boy wanted to fuck a lady and now that he’s in trouble for that we’re penalizing the lady who wouldn’t just shut up and fuck…

dude, Bauer settled ONE lawsuit with ONE woman.  He was not proven “innocent” and there are still 3 other women who have accused him of the same thing.

Then you are an idiot.  1. If you refer to someone as an “underling” your a shitty person; and, 2. If you refer to someone as an “underling” it’s pretty fucking tough to have a relationship with equitable power.  You’re part of the problem man.

Dude - you can’t really have a totally consensual relationship with your boss. There will always be a power dynamic issue and that’s why you don’t do that stuff at work.

This is insanely fucked up. We penalize women for not immediately coming forward, then when they do - with apparently a LOT of credibility and…

Dude fucking Chaya Raichik (I may be misspelling that but fuck her I don’t care) straight up said “cultures are not equal” when asked why it was ok for her family to flee a dictator to come to America but it isn’t ok for brown people.

There is ZERO chance he knows how to run a linux machine.  He can’t even figure out how to get around setting up a MS account to register his windows install WITH PEOPLE TELLING HIM THE STEP-BY-STEP process.  The only time Elon uses sudo is when he misspells a type of Japanese wrestling for huge people.

Someone just needs to tell Sid Meier to make a new version of Pirates! (or it’s 16bit version, Pirates! Gold) and that’ll fix it. 

came here specifically to post this:)

1/3rd is the low end - that’s what you get (or at least when I did my summer work at a PI litigation firm) from a settlement if you don’t have to file suit.  If you actually file and have to start doing work it goes up and then if it goes to trial it goes up even more, usually to about 50% (plus expenses, and law…

For fun you should look into how many cults she’s been in (minimum 2) and how many times she’s been forcibly deprogrammed by her family (at least once).

All John Oliver did, other than point out how horrible Clarence Thomas has always been, is increase his standard of living because now there’s a benchmark for how much he’s “worth”. All Harlan Crow has to do is make sure he’s giving Thomas more than that to keep him happy.

Thomas will leave the court on a stretcher or…

I worked in radio 20 years ago and even then we had multiple levels of redundancy to make sure we were on the air. Inside the station there’s a minimum-wage kid with a clipboard monitoring the signal every 15 or 30 minutes (it’s been a bit since I was that kid) 24 hours a day. Then you have the radio playing over the…
