Get bashed, platonist!


Folks, can you believe what PC culture has been doing to our work environemnt lately? I mean since when does a mere shoulder rub constitute sexual harassment? A little flirting never hurt anyone. These women should be flattered when I expose myself to them. Just because they work for me, suddenly that’s a crime? I just don- (gets wrestled off stage by legal team)

I'm very interested in hearing loving Geraldo Rivera's demands that women should be forced to adhere to in order to report sexual abuse and harassment.

Update, 1:14 p.m. Nov. 29: After we published this column, Minnesota Public Radio announced it was terminating its contracts with Garrison Keillor due to “allegations of his inappropriate behavior with an individual who worked with him.” The Post takes allegations of this kind seriously and is seeking more information about them.

when asked to respond, Keillor only replied "brmhrmmmm orc mischief"

Denise Crosby left TNG because she was being harassed by the producers.

It lead to Michael Dorn being the new security officer and all but dang.

What part of that tweet explains the harassment she lived at the hands of the producers? As far as I know (very little) she left because she thought the show wasn't going anywhere. I could be wrong.

This is the first I've heard of this, even the quote you linked to is in line with Crosby wanting to leave because Yar was given nothing to do.

Sorry if that tweet proves nothing but Denise left the show and went and did that Stephen King movie.

Gates McFadden left for the same reason. But she came back.

The only female actor who could put up with the TNG producers and writers was Marina Sartis. Who was constantly raped on that show.

To add to that, the psychologist on the ship, I forget her name, was super happy to be on star trek because she wouldn't be on weird B-movie exploitation films anymore. Admittedly, all I know comes from RLM and a few seasons I watched of TNG but that's it.

Your other article doesn't mention anything about harassment by producers. Just that she was unhappy and left.

Popular tweets will have a few replies and a tons of likes/retweets. Tweets where idiots say idiot things because they're idiots will have a few likes/retweets and a ton of replies, as people tell them how much of an idiot they are.

Reply-tweets to a controversial statement are usually calling the OP a huge idiot, so when people talk about the ratio it's usually the Twitter userbase at large calling the poster a moron.

Pretty awesome, going to have to remember that.

I don't have a screencap handy but a good while ago while browsing some truck forums for info on repairing my truck I found someone mention an even more evil version of that they did to a friend. Only instead they put a bridge wire into their friend's car that connected the horn to the brake light circuit.

If you haven't figured it out -- any time the victim pressed the brake pedal the horn would honk.

I remember reading that your horn uses a lot of electric at some point. Could you run down your battery by just honking forever?
