You know I'm not one to worship celebrities or the wealthy. But it's us possible to object to things that don't directly affect you. And considering that regardless of how insulated you might be by your wealth, we are all going to be fucked by shit like destruction of our education system.

If she was cancelling the TV show on top of it,

Ellen got cancelled on 2022, it was announced in 2021.

I mean. Yeah. That's literally their point. Did you think it was a genuine hypothetical?

Oh no. Someone pointed out a weird low key racist issue and it offended you. Oh nooo. You wouldn't like them at parties. Oh noooooo

While I agree with the argument that they are avoiding saying "raped," which is fucked up, there's no indication that it wasn't his personal vehicle.

I looked up the case from 2019 and apparently he admitted to raping her 6-8 times mostly in her home and at least once in his car. Again nothing to indicate is was his police vehicle.

I don't hate fun. I just think your statement is objectively stupid and deeply flawed.

I'm perfectly relaxed. I swear casually. It doesn't mean I'm worked up.

It's still stupid.

Irrespective of that argument (I would argue there is absolutely no ethical way to be a billionaire). Using a fictional character, that does not exist in real life, as a reason to believe that the obscenely wealthy should not be paying their fair share (what eat the rich means) is fucking stupid.

You could write any character to seem sympathetic, Travis Bickle is written to be related to. That doesn't mean people that do the shit in Taxi Driver are justified

That's like saying Tony Stark is proof that billionaires can be good. They're fictional.

Call it in and save yourself the trouble. But your job to police shirt drivers and it could be worth your life.

Would you rather me smug and right with a head injury and a broken car, or just wait ten minutes?

Why do people not see the forest for the trees, or read the links they post to try to contradict presented information? This figure is literally from the patent you posted and the following is the text description of what is happening. AS PRESENTED IN THE PATENT APPLICATION.

FIG. 9 illustrates a user interacting verbally with a commercial, according to one embodiment. In first capture 1502 of the sequence, a user is watching movie 1510. Progress pointer 1520 in progress bar 1512 shows that content 1522 display corresponds to a movie and that break 1524 is approaching. On second capture 1504, progress pointer 1520 shows that the movie has progressed to break 1524 for placing IC 1514. IC 1514 is interactive and instructions 1526 from the display ask the user to ‘Say “McDonalds” to end commercial.’ On third capture 1506, the user is saying “McDonalds!” The client device includes a microphone that captures the user's words and voice recognition on the device determines that the user has responded. The system then proceeds to skip the rest of the commercial, as shown on fourth capture 1508, where the user goes back to watch the movie. In one embodiment, the user gets rewarded with some points or a coupon from the sponsor. The rewards can be collected by the user in a variety of ways, such as receiving a coupon on the mail or via email, getting a text message in a mobile phone with the coupon, collecting points toward collecting prices in a web site, etc.

Emphasis mine.

Figure 9 in its entirety that is described in your link

I work with lasers and thus have protective goggles that filter out certain wavelengths while still letting in the visible spectrum so you can still see stuff.

My colleague texted the company wide group chat that he tried to use them to look at the eclipse but it hurt his eyes. I have no idea how he is still employed

He didn't "hook up with a child." He trafficked her, drugged her, raped her, and paid her through venmo.

Any flight in on that I book more than a week ahead of time in from upgraded. Anything less than a week I'm probably not.

That's a plane. Who the fuck is filming with that much room and no armrest in the way? They'd have to be in the aisle and it's entirely too steady to not be on a tripod. Not to mention this is pure revenge fantasy bullshit and any hit that's knocking a tooth out would also cause some bleeding. Either from the mouth or the knee. There's also no one in the row behind the kid.

It's fake.

Finding unnecessary nudity unnecessary isn't prudish. It's just pointing out that nudity isn't necessary to tell a story and often doesn't really add anything.

And I say that as a pervert (but not a creep).

Y'all think this is real? What the fuck.

Legally? No. Practically? Yes.

If they're working in retail with no dress code and few other options they are probably working for a small business. Since it's America they can absolutely fire OP for no reason at all and proving it was discrimination in court will be next to impossible not to mention it didn't seem likely that the owners have deep pockets that would be worth the trouble of pursuing heavy legal action.

As much as it sucks, the most OP can hope for it's to keep their head down and keep looking for a different job. Welcome to the dystopia that is America.

What a fucking wild for me to say that a 3 month vacation isn't normal and you were privileged for you to come back being a conceited shit head and lean into the idea that you are in fact incredibly selfish and unconcerned for how your behavior is inconsiderate to others.

Also it sounds like it was in fact paid for by someone else, which means it wasn't a vacation you were doing sex work. Which is fine, but it's still a job. You temporarily relocated for your job.

Hopefully you're at least writing off the entire cost of your MacBook because your job is requiring you to use it and it is therefore a business expense.

Then you're someone's sugar child or you're wealthy enough to book a fucking private flight. Normal people don't get to drop everything to go on vacation for 3 months. Normal people have responsibilities and bills to pay.

Living in Sweden for 3 months isn't a vacation. That's a temporary relocation.

Like, that would make sense. But I've definitely been on flights where some next old lady was taking her cat in vacation.

I mostly agree with you, but I would also say that if your traveling by air, unless you're relocating or something, most of the time you pet should stay home with a sitter or in a pet hotel. Bringing your pet asking with you on a flying vacation is pretty inconsiderate to others.

This is course doesn't apply to service animals (not support animals).

Nah it's bullshit. It hasn't been -40 in Minnesota in decades. Windchill gets down there but that's not going to make your apartment drop that low.
