  • It’s crazy when you think about it. They picked up their lives, sold their homes in southern california, and moved to fucking central florida of all places. It’s such a massive, massive downgrade in every conceivable category to move from socal to central florida. Then to have the company that mandated this (probably under threat of termination) pull a bait-and-switch once the employees and their families had moved, I’d be lawyering up and suing too. I’d sue them to make me whole – put me back in the same neighborhood I left, in a same or better house (with the same or better loan amount and terms), and offset any losses (with interest) related to moving, my spouse’s loss of job and income, provide equivalent income and job placement for my spouse until they find an equal or better job, and guarantee my employment at current job and comp for the next 10 years (with a sparkling golden parachute if they terminate me earlier).



  • The only explicit doubt it my head is that you’re not intentionally trying to be cryptic. Are you under some sort of NDA with the show? If not, then just say it, friend. We have spoiler tags here at lemmy if that’s your concern.

    EDIT: Wait, do you mean Viserys? If so, I think I’m still confused. Why would his death sap someone of enjoyment? I’m genuinely asking.





  • Encouraging cleanliness is not the point at all. The point is: "… policing methods that target minor crimes, such as vandalism, loitering, public drinking and fare evasion, help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. " Source.

    In the specific case that OP is referring to with Giuliani and NYC: “Bratton directed the police to more strictly enforce laws against subway fare evasion, public drinking, public urination, and graffiti.”






  • I’m not defending the police here, but

    Oh boy, here we go.

    could this man have had a heart attack due to the presence of drugs or alcohol in his system, combined with the fact that his heart rate was elevated by resisting arrest

    Totally. He could have also died from a brain aneurysm, aliens, a very advanced case of SIDS, or a witch’s curse. Or, you know, maybe he died from the whole not being able to breathe thing that was actually happening.

    He does not appear to be in good physical condition. I see that his stomach looks a little distended and he sort of waddles as he took steps around the bar area.

    He didn’t look like he was in great shape? Only fitness buffs and marathon runners with no booze in their systems get to live though being cuffed? Tf is wrong with you.

    Loan forgiveness without making education affordable going forward doesn’t solve the problem. It’s pulling up the ladder.

    You’re 100% correct. But be careful, these folks don’t take kindly to shining a light on their hypocrisy. They signed their names to a legally-binding contract, spent the money, but now don’t like paying it back under the terms they agreed to.

    College tuition is far too high. But without fixing the root cause, tuition loan forgiveness does nothing for everyone before and after, and it actually makes the whole problem worse.

    Did you read what I wrote? I’m responding to @[email protected]’s original statement of “So 100% of women have been sexually assaulted?”. @[email protected] then responded with “Every woman I know including myself has?”. I simply replied saying that “Everyone I know” is not the same as “100% of women”.

    If you read all of that, and you’re standing by your reply, then it sounds like you’re agreeing with me and @[email protected] by stating “Assaulted? No.”

    But too many have been sexually harassed at least once. I think it was 1 in 3 girls experiences sexual harassment before age 18.

    I completely agree with you. But that’s not what my comment was about.

    Every woman I know including myself has?

    Your anecdotal experience doesn’t equate to 100% of women.

    You don’t have to believe anything. It’s not a faith based system.

    It’s also not an anecdote-based system.

    Just speak to women and you’ll hear how common it is.

    Common is not equal to all. OP is doubting the implication that all women have been assaulted.
