Agreed and thats probably why his apology fell on the sword so completely: there’s no cost to admitting the moral failing and he is confident in the long run he will get away with it.

But material violations of commerce or espionage laws…. There’s zero about that in his apology and he will deny and fight like hell.

My only point here is to point out how trivial the human / moral / family dimension obviously is to him. Compete and total admission of guilt right away. Because he doesn’t give a fuck. Only thing that actually moves him is his job and company.

Losing 4% of your body mass would be 5-7 fingers.

Don’t worry, corporations and shareholders definitely feel 4%. The average consumer always sees small percentages like this and thinks they don’t matter. They do.

His apology was so pat and by the numbers. You just know he had AI write it.

The actual explanation is “I am rich and famous and thought that should entitle me to whatever sex I want. And I thought I could get away with it.”

It’s his security blanket.

We forget sometimes that part of women’s liberation is that a woman is free to be just as big an asshole as a man.

Yeah I don’t even know if the company I work for has actually gotten more benefit than it’s cost us. The bill is significant, for one thing. For another we have a whole group of people developing AI tools for internal use now. They aren’t cheap. Of course there’s some benefit but is it net positive? No idea. Is it hugely positive? Fuck no.

I hear his bolsonaro has a flavio.

I too want to know exactly how this happens “a few times” wtf.

Well that’s a pain in the ass, isn’t it?

I believe it though. Researchers out there have shown that even things like time of day can make a HUGE difference in the measurable results of different remedies and medicines. It’s inconvenient as shit for those of us who would like to wake up, chug a handful of pills, and get on with our day.

A woman converting to Islam has issues. Saying it’s the inevitable confusion of theological inquiry is hard evidence of brain damage.

Sky daddy issues.
