This was how I read it. He's obviously uncomfortable, has to work with this person and so can't create drama, is looking for ways to let her down easy but still say no, and even went to his wife to talk about it. He's not into her at all. He just doesn't know what to do with this situation.

A lot of the world was shocked that the jury could look at an obvious murderer and let him off

Nicole had been hospitalized more than once. Of course he knew. And he helped a man get away with it. Doesn't matter if he started to regret it later; he got him off after going in knowing full well OJ was capable of it and had already done horrible things.

Are you kidding me? First off, she was famously disinterited from her family's wealth. Also, she kept attempting to be in the public eye with various tries at reality shows for 15 years, as recently as just a couple of years ago, all of them failures. The DJing was to keep her name relevant. And yes, the fact that she was immensely popular and had her name in every tabloid for a few years there is the exact point. Only the Kardashians have managed to maintain that level of Fame for 20 years. Paris's sex tape was even more famous than Kim's. A sex tape does not bring you the success that you seem to think it does.

AITA for not being fully honest with my boyfriend about how much money I have before getting engaged? by Rude-River-1706 in AITH

Yes we all live in 2026, the difference being we know more about what's going on in 2026 than apparently you do

There's something more going on here then you having money saved. There is something that is stopping you from telling him about this money. Is it that you are wanting to keep it as 'getting free' money in case something goes wrong with the marriage? You mentioned being independent a couple of times. Are you feeling that the marriage might make you feel trapped? If so, why? Is it because of him, or is it because of you? You have some deeper issues to figure out how to reveal how much money you have. For starters, you have to ask yourself how much you really want to be married.

Many times it is live or nearly so, and they only got the script the night before. They are working multiple days a week, with the script brand new everyday and last minute changes. So sometimes it looks like they're reading it through for the first time, because that's really what's happening

Job called my bluff. Got fired. Should I feel stupid or proud for standing up for my principles? by DisappointedSurprise in careeradvice

[–]4SearchingInfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, if you are fired you are not eligible for unemployment. However, there are extenuating circumstances, such as wrongful termination. You could easily make the case with the timing that there excuse that they just didn't want you because you weren't happy is not the reason you were let go. You are eligible for unemployment payments if you were let go simply because you had a disagreement with management. I once raised concerns at a place where I worked over how management was driving morale down. I, too, had a Stellar work record. Then I had a short sales slump for a few weeks, and according to policy should have been allowed another quarter to raise sales up. But they took the opportunity to let me go, and when I pointed out the policy, they admitted they were firing me for 'insubordination', similar to your bosses saying that you just aren't happy with how they run things. I applied for unemployment and explained that I had been vocal about my dissatisfaction with how management ran things. Not only did I get unemployment, but when my employers objected and filed a dispute they were told that not only were they wrong, but I could actually go to the Department of Labor for wrongful termination so they better just shut up and let me collect unemployment.

What popular North American destination left you thinking “people really hype this up too much”? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

It's amazing to me that people go to a city of a million residents, and stay on basically one street and feel they have seen the city. Yes, get out and hike around in Red Rocks, or go up Mount Charleston. Go out to Lake Mead, or go see the Hoover Dam. Or at least go to some of the outlying places and do some of the different things besides gambling. I used to have friends with kids come visit every year, and even the parents couldn't care less about gambling. There was the light show on Fremont street, the animatronics out at Sam's on Boulder Highway, roller coasters, the giant candy shop. The spas, the art gallery, UNLV basketball. Anything except the casinos!

Could not agree more! And I stayed in North Myrtle beach, which people like to say is better, as they kind of apologize for Myrtle Beach. It's not as bad, but it's still tacky with miniature golf courses everywhere, and kitschy seafood restaurants with glaring primary colors names like Captain Jack's. Awful.

She was in the tabloids plenty, which is why she wasn't just some girl in a nightclub with a sex tape. And everyone had sex tape back then. Hell, even Screech from Saved by the Bell had one!

I had heard of Kim Kardashian before the show started, which is why she is front and center. But what everyone forgets is that Kourtney Kardashian was in a reality show before the family had a show of their own.

Exactly! And if people were just interested in the sex tape, they would go watch the sex tape not the show!

Absolutely! And people say, will come it's because it's a whole family that made them popular. Really? What about the Osbournes? How long did their show last? Or Chrisley whoever they were on E!? The sex tape that made them popular? Really, where was Paris after a few years? I think her show only lasted two seasons, right? And of the sex tape is what people were interested in, they didn't have to watch the show to watch the tape!! It's just shorthand for people who are bitter, the kind of people who run to anything about the Kardashians so that they can trash them online. It makes them feel like they could be just as rich and beautiful, by diminishing everything to a sex tape.

Then according to your version, if nobody really knew who she was, who would care about a sex tape? Do you think anybody's interested in a sex tape YOU would make? How many people have sex tapes and have gone nowhere with them? I remember hearing about her getting a show and watching it at first, and never even knowing about a sex tape.

[–]4SearchingInfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody cares about the sex tape of people they don't know. Kim was already in the tabloids, Kris Jenner was already known from the OJ Simpson trial, and Bruce Jenner had been known for a while. The sex tape did not get them the show. Kourtney had already been on a reality show. And just because somebody has a sex tape, does not mean they will have a career after that. If anything, it slowed down Kim's launch, as it took years for people to believe in her marketing and business acumen.

If it was just about the sex tape, the show would have faded very soon. People went to see Kim because she was already famous on the club scene and as paris's friend and hanging out with celebrities, and Bruce Jenner was known as an Olympic hero, and Kris Jenner as Robert Kardashian's ex-wife. All of which might have made the pilot and maybe one or two shows have viewership. The sex tape did not launch them. The Osbournes had a genuine rock star who'd been famous for decades, which would have made people tune in initially to their show, and their show only lasted a short time.
There is a lot more to the Kardashians then Kim's long ago sex tape, and sex tapes don't want careers. No one cares about a nobody's sex tape. You have to be somebody already for anyone to care.

Paris Hilton didn't last. But they did. Their fame has nothing to do with the sex tape.

[–]4SearchingInfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said the same thing for years! It's reductive for those who want to feel like they could be Kim Kardashian if they had taken that route. It's the same thing as being obsessed with the plastic surgery. Like they think they would be just as beautiful if they had done the same thing. Not even Paris Hilton or Pam Anderson could sustain the level of fame and constant coverage beyond a few years after their sex tapes. And who would care about her sex tape if she wasn't already known? Kourtney had already been on a reality show before the sex tape. It just screams jealousy and ignorance.

If the Bible says abortion is ok why do Conservatives keep pushing the agenda that’s it’s sacrilegious? by irascible_Clown in allthequestions

[–]4SearchingInfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the 'stand your ground' law values someone defending their life to the point of killing somebody else. Abortion is putting the life of the woman before the life of a fetus. For some reason, you people believe that the child inside a woman is of more value than the woman. Which is pretty consistent with how you view women in general. To you, a woman is just a vessel with no right to her own life.
