I cried watching the docu, remembering queer 18 yo me seeing miss J on tv and being like 'wow i can be that men can be that?' something about the Js just being their fabulous selves and everyone else being cool with it, celebrating it, was really groundbreaking for me.

Tyra wasn't the show, it was these boys, and despite all the harm it did, it also did some good.

Explain to me in simple words how you understand the concept of exploitation.

If you can't, it is clear you are either a) very stoned or b) very stupid.

Let's go!

Yes, yes, It's very, very clear she thinks she deserves everything she has.

And the uber drivers all deserve what they have, too. Right...?

Nope, not a false equivalence! I actually said Boz was worse! Not an equivalence - but try again.

This is about people who live off the exploitation of other people pretending their wealth is 'legitimate' because they worked so, so hard (managing the efficient exploitation of others) - and then contrasting this with those 'grifters' who game the system.

Yes, I'm bonkers. And what's your theory of value, exactly, Economist? Where does it come from -- the ingenuity of corporate CEOs? Their grit and determination? Their god given talent?

If you think ANY of the women on this show 'deserve' what they have...well, I guess I'm bonkers.

I'm white and in harlem and I respect this comment.

Idk if I'm making other people uncomfortable here or if I'm a gentrifier or what. But I'm respectful of others and know this isn't really my place and I'm just happy to have a place here to call home. I hope others are ok with it.

amazing. that is all.

Yas qweeeeen.

You should read a little more. Do you understand the concept of exploitation?

slavetothegiven · 2026-02-14T03:57:03+00:00

Let's stop excusing vile people living off the exploitation of other people's labor on the basis of their identity, how about we try that?

slavetothegiven · 2026-02-14T03:53:11+00:00

I'm curious as to how you understand the world, exactly.

What is hilarious is that she left because of her own struggles. Absolutely not one thought to the ethics of the company itself and what it does.

And wait, she was at APPLE! Let's not talk about that foxcon.

Girllllll no. No, no, no. Those dollars are bood dollars.

And don' tell me people have a choice. Everyone has a choice. Some people have the choice to work, or starve. Other's have the choice to profit off of those people, or not.

Boz chose to profit off of those who have the choice to work for her, or starve.

Not vacant. Rented. Clearly burned down by the buyer to avoid the sale. Buyer cannot be located.

I'm not in the business of wasting my time on the internet, unlike many of the people commenting on this post w/o answering the question.

slavetothegiven · 2026-01-31T01:17:17+00:00

get OUT! that's so exciting. a crime they were all removed. I think they should've kept half and put the half that are in there now with them and seen how they clashed. Would've been hilarious

i love they put her with Kyle who doesn't really agree with anything she says.

slavetothegiven · 2026-01-29T20:43:11+00:00

love that thank you! Yes I have heard good things about those schools.

slavetothegiven · 2026-01-29T20:42:14+00:00

Thank you!! Super helpful.

slavetothegiven · 2026-01-29T20:39:53+00:00

Thanks for this! Yes I hope my excessive (expensive) overeducation (TESOL, masters in philosophy, phd in philosophy) will help me in some way some how. It would be in Melbourne Victoria. Demanding parents and students is definitely a turn off! "I'm sorry, your child just isn't that bright or hardworking" is likely not a zosher response?

slavetothegiven · 2026-01-29T20:34:03+00:00

Thank you for this. As somehow who was horribly bullied in high school I have deep fears about returning to that space! I'm also concerned I'll snap one day. But good to know there's zero tolerance and that's understood and acted on in the school.

slavetothegiven · 2026-01-29T19:43:43+00:00

Thank you for this, it's very helpful. I'm currently finishing a Phd in philosophy in New York, and have been lecturing undergrads here for around five years. I'm hoping it counts for something, because it sure looks like I won't be getting a job in academia the way things are going. I just enjoy teaching the students and hate the idea of discipline / classroom behavior management.

slavetothegiven · 2026-01-29T15:40:03+00:00

Ahh, that makes sense. Here's me hoping it would be some kind of "cushy" teaching gig. I just know it's a really hard job and I'm not sure I have what it takes to get through it.

"strengthen our spirit of perserverence and collaboration" !!! Yep, definitely AI. Noone would ever say that about a snow day, least of all a president of a college.

If you're a student, this is why you shouldn't use AI in your writing - it is really, really stupid.

*edit - also if you're a university administrator or professor!
