I was thinking how easy it'd be to do something like that for Facebook and use it as a way to spam or advertise. There's gotta be a wag to monetize that.

But yeah Facebook groups flip all the time and it's done to rack up engagements and (I assume) generate money from hate clicks or whatever.

It's super weird it took this long to reach a decision and for the decision to be "you're fired." When he wasn't fired immediately I assumed he would be fine and they were just pretending to do an investigation for PR cover.

Makes me think either what happened was much worse than initially reported, or he's got some pretty big skeletons in his closet.

When I was groped by a coworker there was about two weeks between that and them getting fired, multiple meetings and discussions with other workers about their behavior

Yeah, you gotta cross the t's and dot the i's that poo poo so it doesn't come back and bite you. He really should have quit if he wanted to get ahead of things but I guess the sort of person that cranks their hog in a work meeting isn't filled with smarts.

He was a lawyer for a long time, can you imagine if he was your lawyer and you lost whatever case he was working for you and then you read the news?

Not knowing who this guy was, I was going to ask the extent of what he did. Twitter answered it for me, but also showed me how many people think it's a simple mistake that just anyone can accidentally do.

That dude's avatar belongs in a collage with other middle-aged balding white dudes in sunglasses, who are about to drop some serious truth-bombs, because they're equal-opportunity offenders, and if you don't like it you're a liberal snowflake.

It's just missing the "taken from inside my truck" background.

Film Robert is trying to use a photo taken at a con as proof that he's friends IRL with Lindsay. She was not having a bar of it. Cinema Rob is very butthurt about this.
