Team player doesn't have to be such a odious term, but our labour system has ensured that it is.Kory wrote: ↑02 Jan 2019, 1:20pmIt's funny that they pay you these stupid amounts and expect you to be a team player who cares about the company on a personal level.

I would've thought grad school kids of relatively distinguished education in a not- deep-deep South state by the 1980's would've said to themselves "Hmm...maybe it's not a good idea to let myself get photographed in blackface at a party" like it's second nature. You know, similar to how "Maybe 'Dicks out!' isn't the surefire pickup line it seemed like in concept" seemed like a rational truism one did not have to write in magic marker on one's arm in order to remember.
I am unsurprised-suprised yet again.

A nice reminder that the civil rights era never penetrated the people of means. There's law and there's culture, and the rich made sure that their culture's most valuable tradition—mocking social lessers in the most appalling manner—would not succumb.Rat Patrol wrote: ↑08 Feb 2019, 7:43pmhttps://pilotonline.com/news/government ... 40140.html

I was confused about who put the poster up - the article didn't clarify that. Was it a vendor who was licensed to sell things at the school or did someone just put up a poster in the hallway?Marky Dread wrote: ↑11 Feb 2019, 12:17pmWhat the fuck is that all about!WestwayKid wrote: ↑11 Feb 2019, 11:05amhttps://www.cnn.com/2019/02/11/us/ny-mi ... index.html
