I had a friend who came back from the Army and when asked why he was back after only two years he said he’d washed out after some hard missions and had PTSD. He told some tales we all knew were exaggerated, but we left it at that. He’d always been a bit of a braggart before and we didn’t think it was hurting anything…
Or they team up with their guild to go take down a big baddie for some XP and random drops
I don’t see why they didn’t just go ahead and sign over all the money to him and then make their own profits off of media tours to talk about what generous privileged saviors they were. Many networks pay you for studio appearances. They could even have an inspirational book ghostwritten about it for super cheap and…
Nope, no bullshit detected here. Please elaborate on your claim.
To me it sounded more like the author of the article was trying to make it seem like Lily was putting down the sex workers or making excuses in the face of what could be a scandal (though her “excuses” are surprisingly honest and clear to me). Lily’s just telling it like it is.
Reason 1 is because they’re trying this thing where when they play a city they try to perform a cover from an artist who is from that area. Reason 2 is probably just committing fully regardless of how well #1 went.
Dan Reynolds, singer for Image Dragons, setup the LoveLoud Fest to help LGBTQ youth and also released a documentary calling out the LDS for their anti-queer policies. So, he may be white and may be LDS but at least he’s a somewhat woke force from within the LDS. My oldest son is into them and the music is fairly…
You can bet that Del Toro wouldn’t have allowed Gambon to treat the Dumbledore character as atrociously as he did if he’d been in charge of Goblet. I know it’s been meme’d to death, but the whole “’DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH!’ Dumbledore asked calmly” thing would have been a more intimate and…
Hoo boy! For a Judge mister Moore sure doesn’t know a lot about the legal grounds for how signed releases or satire work, or - and here’s a real kicker - the fact that even civil cases have a “discovery” phase where evidence will be presented and Moore may be required testify about such evidence.
I think we can always compartmentalize each case and understand that while abusers can go on to abuse others just because you’ve been wronged doesn’t mitigate any wrongs you commit. You can sympathize with the abuse they endured while punishing the abuse they commit.
The framers of the Constitution were definitely OK with a little upheaval every now and then if the state of the union needed it.
Lots of people cheat. That’s not on the sex workers. If it’s a cheating “scandal” then that’s fine. Heck. at least Lily was completely honest about the whole thing.
I think she’s speaking her truth. I think it brings up a valid purpose of sex work and a service they can provide. There were even talks of visits to sex workers being possibly covered by some European health plans for disabled and such (not sure how that panned out). I’ve never felt sex work should be disparaged so…
I said much the same thing further down this thread. Victims create more victims, yes. All victims deserve to be heard. But, a victim who creates another victim is no less of a predator simply because they have dual status. You can have sympathy for their plight while also punishing them for the actions for which they…
As far as I know they still continue to do the bare minimum of what they are legally required to do and also still leverage the hell out of hire/fire-at-will for just about any reason (as long as they don’t document it). Won’t work overtime off-the-clock? We’ve got a stack of applicants who can start tomorrow if you…
I don’t know if calling her time with sex workers a “dark time” that she doesn’t do anymore - I don’t know if that description disparages sex work necessarily. Saying you were having a dark time and seeing a therapist doesn’t disparage therapy work. Sexual healing is still healing. If people want to see a sex worker…
I feel we’re overall on the same page here. I don’t believe having been a victim in the past is a mitigating factor if you create your own victims. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. There are plenty of people who did messed up things because they were abused as children, and while I may have sympathy for…
I’ve been an avid Amazon customer for nearly two decades and am just now beginning to hear the horror stories of Amazon’s employees and lobbying, but I clearly remember hearing of WalMart’s agendas going way back into at least the 90's. Methinks they can both be bad, but Amazon is younger so WalMart has a head start.
