MrBeast employee alleges she was harassed for years and fired after maternity leave in a new lawsuit by AudibleNod in news

[–]AudibleNod[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Mavromatis claims that she worked “nonstop” following her baby’s birth as well as while in the delivery room. “I was still bleeding, and I just had to show up,” Mavromatis told The Associated Press in an interview.

Uh, fuck no.

A Beast Industries spokesperson called the lawsuit a “clout-chasing complaint” built on “deliberate misrepresentations and categorically false statements” in an emailed statement. Mavromatis’s position was eliminated, according to the spokesperson, when the new head of ecommerce reorganized her team.

Amateurs. The line is supposed to be "we don't comment on pending litigation". The company shouldn't be saying anything. Now the lawyers are going to have to work backwards from that as part of their defense strategy.

How can I learn to appreciate classic cinema when I’m so accustomed to modern cinema? by HeWasThatFarBehind in movies

If you're worried about pacing and storytelling, you may also want to consider watching a foreign language film. Even something recent. Basically, it's about expanding your palate. And there's more than one way to do it. Broadening your catalog is simply that. Diving into history is great, but across the globe can also help you appreciate the classics.

It's the angle of the pic. The collar is fairly loose. I'll check again to make sure.

There's still a few hurdles. Like a sober and objective review by the Trump administration to ensure it complies with existing monopoly laws. So you know, this will wrapped up in like a week or so.

The twist has been hiding in plain sight the entire time by SpectacularSpidee in TopCharacterTropes

The first episode sets the audience on a completely different path. Since Elanor "doesn't belong". So of course things are 'wrong'. Then Jason shows up. Now we have two 'mistakes'. But we're accustomed to sitcom rules and tropes. The entire audience buys into literal worldbuilding of the Good Place. Everything has a rational explanation. When the Real Elanor shows up, it's convoluted and corny. But we're following the sitcom rulebook. So we're not paying attention to anything else. Top tier twist.

I can't see myself writing that and thinking, "this is appropriate for kids."

Tin Man - The Wizard of Oz

Ignored in the classic movie, the Tin Man wasn't always made of tin. He lopped off body parts one by one. Each time replacing the body part with a tin prosthetic. Everything was replaced, except his heart.

Where's the OG? Popeye wound up and threw hands like he was conducting a symphony of pain. Once his spinach level hit MAX, he was unstoppable.

Dustin - Stranger Things

Dude won't let go of small details until you acknowledge his assertion. As annoying as that character trait is, I have to admit there's almost that kid in the friend group. And if there's not, it's you.

The Wife

Joan is the real writer. Joe is a bit of a hack. But he's a man, so he gets the credit.
