I'm sorry, when did I say Tara Reade allegations against Biden should be swept under the rug? Or any of the creepy behavior towards women that he's shown over the years. Or hell, even how he treated Anita Hill and his embarrassing asking for forgiveness from her before starting his campaign. And yes, Bill Clinton also needs to be held account. All abusers must be held accountable for their actions.
I love how no one was even talking about Biden but you had to redirect. Yes, biden sucks and is a creep as well, fuck him.DColeKC wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 1:18 pmI'm hilarious?

How to do you explain the double standard? I'm not saying Biden is a sexual predator, but creepy perhaps?
What's hilarious is you can't even address the statement, instead you do your regular move, toss out a personal insult and imply I spent last week polishing my guns, waxing my big jacked up truck and drinking busch light while I watched every second of CPAC.
Fuckin clown.
That’s the thing. You never say anything on your own, instead you only ever respond to what I say.mykn wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 1:41 pmI'm sorry, when did I say Tara Reade allegations against Biden should be swept under the rug?

You seem to think I'm some liberal, lol fuck the democratic party.
Agree with you, except about the last few pages. I'd rather see activity in here than it sit dormant for weeks in between conversations. Not that the last few pages have been constructive at all.

Just another example of the double standards applied based on who you support politically. Pedro Pascal compares Trump supporters to Nazis and that’s cool. Gina Carano says the Nazis turned the people on each other and we shouldn’t hate each other for having different political views and is fired in 38 hours.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:42 am In a completely unrelated topic shift, it’s been a few weeks since Gina Carano was fired from Mandalorian. What’s everyone’s take? While I found her social media content to be blatantly instigating, I hardly think the justification was there to fire her.
I haven't followed it closely but didn't she post pictures in 'character'? That could be an issue if she states opinions along with character that the company doesn't agree with or harms image. And it's common for companies to have HR policies (like not allowed to denigrate people because of their culture) that if not followed, can be let go. We don't know if she also was making such statements within the workplace as well. If she broke the policies, I don't see the issue with letting her go, especially if true she was also posting pics of her Disney-owned character. And not a double standard if others are calling out those who denigrate particular cultures.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 6:42 am In a completely unrelated topic shift, it’s been a few weeks since Gina Carano was fired from Mandalorian.

She hadn’t posted anything with her in character with the questionable posts. The biggest controversy was people bashing her for not having pronouns in her bio, and she then decided putting beep/bop/boop in her bio. The most recent one to get her fired was a reposted screenshot of a post describing how the Nazi regime dehumanized opposition, most importantly the Jews, in order to allow for their maltreatment, then drew a connection to modern society where people dehumanize others for political beliefs.earthling wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 10:00 amI haven't followed it closely but didn't she post pictures in 'character'?

My employer which is a Fortune 500 company repeatedly tells us that if we use Facebook or other social media platforms to make political statements, do not identify yourself as an employee of the company on that platform. Their concern is that if you identify yourself as an employee, it could be construed that you are speaking on behalf of the company. This is part of an ethics and harassment course we have to take annually. I've seen employees engage in political discussions on facebook all the time with no adverse reaction from the company but I have no doubt if one posted swastikas or some other hate symbol on FB and it became known, the company would react.phuqueue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 1:35 pm If you're an at-will employee, as the vast majority of us are, companies can terminate your employment for (almost) any reason or no reason at all, and doing something that the company believes publicly reflects badly on it is definitely a reason. My company reminds us all the time, as I'm sure most companies do, to be careful about what we post on social media. People want to treat this as some kind of attack on free expression, but if you work for a private company, the threat that you will be fired for what you post on social media lingers over you constantly. Gina Carano, of course, was not an at-will employee, as an actress she would have had a contract, so her termination means one of a) her actions violated the terms of the contract; b) her actions did not violate the terms of the contract, but Disney was so bothered that they took her off the show even though they're still obliged to pay her (in which case, tiniest violin in the world for the rich person getting paid not to work); or c) Disney declined to renew her expired contract (which of these scenarios it was has probably been publicly reported, but I won't bother to look it up because all roads lead to "I don't care").
A few years ago, that lady who was not wealthy or famous also lost her job that she probably actually needed, unlike Gina Carano, because she flipped off Trump's motorcade and a White House photographer got a picture of it that went viral (actually, she was specifically fired for reposting this already well-publicized photo to her own facebook account, apparently in violation of her company's social media policy against posting "obscenity" -- this could arguably be considered a pretextual firing if she had been otherwise protected from termination, but alas, she was not, just like most of us). So this does, in fact, cut both ways, the mean ol' liberals do lose their jobs over this too.
I guess if you want to have a conversation about all the ways in which we have ceded way too much power to corporations and we fail to adequately protect workers, that would be a good conversation that we should have (in this thread, or like, as a whole society), but if you just want to stand in solidarity with a rich and famous person who lost this one job but will experience no hardship from it because she is, after all, rich and famous, then, well, who cares. This, like most culture war issues that raise hackles on the right, doesn't matter.
