Free speech does not allow you to criticize the boss using the tools he provides you with. That is the role of unions.
Let's get you on a Zoom call ASAP with the visionary genius who went out of his way to claim absolute free speech was the reason why he lit $44 billion on fire--sounds like he needs your expert guidance. Then you can both hop on a second Zoom where a random high schooler can explain to you what unions do.

Simple question: Would you rather enter into a war with China with F-15s, or any one of the 4th or 5th-generation fighters that will clearly replace them? Right.

Posted in: Mayweather stops Nasukawa in 1st round, flooring him 3 times See in context
Floyd is, and always has been, a highly competent technical fighter who is now content to collect huge checks in farcical exhibitions. He is also a complete coward who has carefully cultivated his opponents, avoiding any fight in which the outcome could actually be in doubt, but has no problem at all terrorizing women and children.
The video of this "fight" exposes it for exactly what it is--yet another pathetic display of contempt for the sport itself and of the rubes who play along with the ruse, all while Floyd collects another giant payday. Nasukawa's absolutely ludicrous flopping is apparent for anyone who can stand to look.

With all respect to baseball fans, the World Series moniker should be change to The Canada/USA Series or to The Baseball Superbowl ... the world does not get to compete in the series.
With all respect due, please do get over yourself. You of course realize that "Super Bowl" is a brand name, just like "World Series" was way back at the turn of the century, and not any kind of geographically meaningful adjective? Of course you do. They could call it the Chopped Liver Series, but why would they? Major League Baseball is under no obligation to indulge the pedantic neuroses and insecurities of the rest of the world.

Posted in: Skinny jeans could make you a fashion victim: doctors See in context
Suffice to say that:
A) Skinny jeans of any sort are probably not the best thing to wear when moving.
B) It sounds as if this particular woman was wearing skinny jeans that were perhaps three or four sizes too small, compounding the problem exponentially (thus, her level of obesity is irrelevant, as even the leanest woman can still get in trouble with pants several sizes smaller than what would be normal for her).
Even so, how utterly fashionable she must have looked, trapped on the floor and immobile.

What Peacetrain and Ah_so keep willfully misunderstanding here is that these men have no need for their conception of the word "normal." They cross-dress because it makes them feel good, they're comfortable with that, and who cares what anyone else thinks? And just because you can't imagine something doesn't mean it can't possibly be true for others.
