Wawa is just Sheetz done badly.

If you HAD seen a doctor, they woudl have sent you home with one of these little kits to collect a sample to send.

And with a 10 year expiration on your passport you don’t think a country or two might change their laws?

Employee of ad dependent company dislikes other ad dependent company. Shocking.

Former Comcast Technician: I can assure you, there is no such things as “Tier 1 customer.” Trouble calls come in, trouble calls get answered. Line issues are escalated to system Engineers who drive the bucket trucks. Likely, your neighborhood (or larger area) was having a problem and they fixed it.

Who ranks scientists?

“Is there a calculator for people who don’t live permanently in the year 1990 and do actual modern contract work as a sole-proprietor LLC?”

I guess, but it definitely panned out that the focus was put on Kirkman re: the allegations. It wasn’t just jez but it still sucks for Kirkman and my sympathies are with her. I could be misreading the tone of the article, but to me it reads like “ok we didn’t blame kirkman at first but then she was a real bitch and it…

I mean if you’re going to link anything, you should be linking to this:

I guess I don’t get how you can play the “we’re doing real journalism” card when the NY Times busted the story wide-open with 5 sources in what, a few weeks since the Weinstein stuff broke? And you’ve supposedly had it for years?

I don’t think I’m going to be crying over Kirkman’s treatment of Jezabel, sorry. Sounds like ya’ll sicced the flying monkeys on her and then said “well we didn’t tell them to bite you!” when she got mad. The fact that she screwed up the exact particulars of which monkey bit who, when, while recounting it in a heated…

People have the right to tell their own stories when they are ready to tell them. Reporting those stories without their permission, reporting them as rumors or “open secrets” is unfair to the victims and can even undermine their story when/if they’re ready to tell it. It may actually cause harm to the victims. Why…

No, as I’ve said before, if there is a rumor they should have jumped in with both feet. They should have gone to female comics and male comics. They should have talked with workers at comedy clubs and festivals. They should have made the fact that some rumors have been disavowed by women while stating that the fact…

Personally I’m uncomfortable with the “it’s our responsibility to report it” angle though. While I agree that it should be reported, Jen kirkman *really didn’t* name CK. So I don’t think it was Jezebel’s responsibility to name him in the article about her podcast. I just don’t know. If I were kirkman I’d be pissed…

I’m sorry. I like this site. But to be clear, you have been horrible to Kirkman (including linking to a rumor she specifically denied several times when writing about CK) and you did go about journalism the wrong way while the NYT did it the right way.

I dunno. When I was growing up, it was just no means no. In the last, oh, 7 years or so is when I remember enthusiastic consent being talked about. And weird shit went down when I was in college and kind of everyone was OK with it or glossed so much of it over. I think not knowing about consent, but waiting for a no…

It literally started 8 years ago, not during WWII.

Pretty sure that honor belongs to the Sherlock fandom but this is close.

No, that’s not the question. They found someone else to award the contract to. The decision was appealed. So they have to go with the incumbent until the contract dispute is resolved. It would be ridiculous to do anything else. Who would they give it to? The company they already want? They can’t. That’s under appeal?…

Apparently Las Palmas players were wearing Spanish flag decals on their uniforms today. How that would have gone over if their had been fans in the stadium is a frightening thought experiment.
