I can't remember who it was, but Corrik made a bunch of claims about how certain jobs did health care and got called out by a KMart manager, after which Corrik cowarded the fuck out.

But in general he just said anybody who disagreed with him lied about their positions, and that it wasn't possible to trust anyone he argued with because everyone is "has it out for him", and anyone who worked part time wasn't an adult.

Cuz the dude is lying. If you are full time, kmart offers you insurance. I worked there. He is lying. And I am pretty sure he backtracked he wasnt referring to full time.


It was me, and I never replied to you because you didn't reply until like, several hours later.

Nice to see that you can make stuff up, though.

Half the time if you do not get the message out fast enough the screen goes to an error screen and deletes your message and you have to restart from the beginning. Or every click you made went to the advertisment cuz it lagged ur keyboard out and you have 35 advertisement windows opened.

Chaos, CNN decided this was newsworthy. It was just another meme til then. You are then saying it is okay if they release his informatiom because he makes hate comments. CNN would be deciding that is worthy of revealing. What stops some other organization from deciding what is allowed to be revealed?

Those hackers released all those actresses naked pictures. They arbitrarily decided what should be revealed. They released their personal stuff.


No, because those naked pictures weren't posted publicly, they were stolen.

If an actress anonymously CHOSE to post her own nudes, and then she gets identified somehow, yes that should be legal.


Should a random organization be able to decide to post your personal stuff? I mean, no, we as citizens shoulf all be on the same side of
Like for example, I believe that the government should be able to surveil everything and if ur not okay with it is is orobably because ur doing something illegal. I do not think the government should be able to publicly reveal ur information to the public unless it is in regards to stopping a vrime to protect our nation.


Yikes, dude.

You seem to not understand the difference between publicly posted stuff and surveillance / theft.


You mostly all stand on government should not be able to surveil its citizens because they have the rights as citizens to privacy. So, how is it even possible you are taking the stance that CNN has the right to take away his privacy if they want to?

I mean, on a basic level... the right should be more okay with CNN doing that than the left would be. It is against a stance they actively argue.


My personal stance is that if you choose to publicly post shit that becomes news, you are fair game. So maybe don't say pro-Nazi garbage?

Which has had the side effect of turning shitposts into news, but hey that is 'modern day presidential.'


The issue on this bit is basically that the meme is removed from the individual once it's out there, especially once it's by the president. The idea of Pepe's creator killing him and trying to reboot him don't mean a damn thing for the meme, he's completely irrelevant. Same thing here. Hell, at this point there's a couple hundred or more memes of CNN after blackmailing the guy. Memes of CNN getting it's shit kicked in is now a meme in and of itself.

His argument is that this guy didn't post his name, either, so it was similarly "stolen".

Almost all those pictures were taken from messages they sent to others. They shared them. Albeit privately.

Those messages and memes he made were shared anonymously. Because he did not want to share it publicly.

I am not seeing a very huge distinction. If he wanted to share them publicly, I am sure he would have. Same with said actresses.

Eh, full time retail are obligated to force health insurance on you. However, that also means that they've seriously cut back on how many people that they will let be full time, and they watch the number of hours part timers get intensely to insure that they aren't over the average number of hours they work before they get insurance.

It's one of those things that the ACA really made things rougher all around for retail, and in my opinion, it's one of the reasons that it's been on such a slippery slope where people end up not wanting to bother going retail anymore. I never looked it up, but was there anything in the AHCA that was going to address that issue with businesses like that?

You were in the topic, so you should be aware the only "Calling out" I did was when I initially asked you the questions

But instead you apparently remember me saying "n/m i didn't mean full time" which I... Didn't do?

And yet you accuse other people of making stuff up about you.

I said both of these. That full time is given healthcare and they will offer employees one hour below full time to not give them health care but that you were informed of this beforehand. I said they should get a real job. That part time jobs are supplemental or for kids in school and are not meant for living off of.

Uh... this is not even close to the issues I have. I type so fast that if the keyboard lagged out, every single button press goes to the ad below cuz it was where the keyboard was. Each tap of a letter is a new window. 35 windows sometimes is a low number. And, yes, if you get a huge long lag where sometimes it is up to 12-20 words behind, it sometimes just sends you to an error screen and pressing back just gives you a blank text box where you gotta restart over.

I think that is disputable. I could see the argument that there are not enough in some areas. But, remember you do not need a 1 for 1 ratio. As some are housewives or etc.

I feel that if society as a whole stopped taking part time jobs that those companies would be forced to make them full time to have workers or they would get the high rollover students / supplementals in which the jobs are fully intended for.

I do not think healthcare should not be given to people who are legitimately trying to find work
But, I think the work limits where you have to volunteer until you find work to receive aid should be a law across the board. And, I believe it was sorta until Obama made a bypass for that.

There are a lot of unfilled jobs and until all the unfilled jobs are actually filled, it is not a super valid argument entirely.

The thing is, most people in part time jobs nowadays are not in a position where they can just quit and refuse to accept anything less than full time. We also have loads of young people in unpaid internships (presumably largely from fairly well off families who can support them). The average hours worked in a "full time" job has risen to a lot higher than 40 now, even while part-time and unpaid jobs have proliferated.

well not everyone agrees with them being annihilated for it. i mean there's a damn netflix special trying to portray them as the good guys over that STILL.

(the tangent isn't really that surprising - even though it may be understood as wrong, hot naked chicks are still hot naked chicks. that goes across every category of people, regardless of politics.)

and Hogan saying the n word was on tape but that likely was on the FBI tapes they had won just shortly before writing about that.

Eh, full time retail are obligated to force health insurance on you. However, that also means that they've seriously cut back on how many people that they will let be full time, and they watch the number of hours part timers get intensely to insure that they aren't over the average number of hours they work before they get insurance.

It's one of those things that the ACA really made things rougher all around for retail, and in my opinion, it's one of the reasons that it's been on such a slippery slope where people end up not wanting to bother going retail anymore. I never looked it up, but was there anything in the AHCA that was going to address that issue with businesses like that?

It seems like it would make sense to make companies that are large enough to have to provide health care to full time employees also let employees buy in to their employee healthcare plan subsidized at X% of the cost. This would eliminate the discontinuity that incentivizes them to make most of their workers part time.

FYI a full time job does not guarantee your employer will offer health insurance even under the current and stricter ACA that Corrik wants to repeal.

The Gawker case is a bit of an oddity, because Gawker got kinda screwed in that case (although they probably screwed themselves more). Basically, they probably would have won the case with some more meaningful evidence, what it was escapes me (but I think it was an indictment that Hogan was actually profiting from the fallout of the case and continued to act like he didn't care until the trial happened). But what ended up happening was that they tied up the release of that evidence in paperwork. And even worse, their attorneys were super bad and the law firm that defended Gawker was actually bought out by the legal firm I work for immediately after that case ended. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't appeal, because I probably would've been doing some work with the case then!

(the tangent isn't really that surprising - even though it may be understood as wrong, hot naked chicks are still hot naked chicks. that goes across every category of people, regardless of politics.)

"may be understood as wrong" sounds a little understated coming from the guy on a 300 post crusade about how a news agency can't use the name of a 40-year-old racist in an article about him without it being a human rights violation
