Dude, I had a LOT of awakenings during that scene. The way he moves in on her? I played that over about 10 times last time I saw it.

And the dancer who plays Fran’s dad? So effing hot. All I want to do is let that man lead me to ends of the earth. I had to look him up: Antonio Vargas.  Such beautiful movement.

Here’s the distinction: She’s being treated differently than any other customer solely based on her disability. The only reason she is at the window trying to place an order in the first place is because of her disability. A reasonable accommodation to allow her to place her order as any hearing customer would is to…

Know what’s a “reasonable accommodation”?

Taking an order from a deaf person by reading what they typed out on their phone.

Two paragraphs and you choose to focus on one sentence.
Disingenuous.

All of this. And start at the bottom. Or go into another field entirely. Sell real estate. Drive Uber. Manage a grocery store. They are not entitled to wealth and power which would allow them access to victimize other women. I’m not saying they’re not entitled to work, but they aren’t allowed to go back to their lives…

who feel victimized by attractive women who refuse to have sex with them. (Incels have nicknamed these desirable but withholding women “Stacys.”)

Chicago is a huge city. The fact that they are setting up a shot at nearly exactly the same place as the alleged attack occurred is not coincidence.

I would argue that “redemption” also needs to have remorse as part of it. I don’t know this man’s history, but has he admitted his wrongdoing and apologized for it at the very least? From what I know of A Course in Miracles, it teaches about love. Love doesn’t mean accepting people blindly. Sometimes, it means holding…

“I had not read anything or heard anything that made me feel this was a man who never deserved to work again.”

Absolutely. I see no reason why he should be completely unemployed. He would make a great parking lot attendant. I do see reason why he shouldn’t be employed in a high-paying position of power over young…

I purposely didn’t watch it. I was about 11 at the time and already terrified of nuclear war. I think my family watched it, while I spent the evening holed up in my room. I’m glad I didn’t see it then. Even watching the trailer as a a 40-something adult just now made me anxious.

“We cannot ignore the gun violence that happens in cities across this country on a daily basis.”

Clearly, Hooters is built for costumers to spend a healthy amount of time and money in.

Even pains in the butt still have a right to feel safe in the workplace.

Bringing a dog to the set is a privilege. No one, including Mark Harmon, has the right to a dog at their workplace. “Reasonable accommodations” pertain to rights for work benefits and status protected by a law such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. It has no relation to an unprotected benefit such as a pet in…

This is so accurate. Part of my ennui with cis-het dudes is that the misogyny always surfaces: “#MeToo is good, but it’s getting out of hand...” and the like.

I was talking with a guy who wanted to be Friends With Benefits who seemed OK, but the only topic of conversation he wanted was sex. Basically, he wanted an…

I wish I was having as much sex as those ladies.

I’m nearing menopause myself. The sex drive is there, but the time and energy it takes to meet someone who I wouldn’t mind getting naked with is not. Telling my life story to a stranger over coffee takes a lot longer than it used to and I’m just not that interested when…

He’s always been a sleazebag. Helped Klaus von Bulow get away with murdering his wife and got a movie made in which he’s the “hero” (Reversal of Fortune). Fuck this guy.

Exactly. Just got Red Cross CPR/AED training and they said to be specific when delegating tasks. Use names if you know them: “Bob, get the AED.” If you don’t, use identifying articles and make eye contact: “You, person in the blue shirt, call an ambulance.”

And who sets those standards? The NHTSA.

Previously the record was held by NYPD, with 26 noms, back in 1994.
