Why the fuck are they working SO HARD to not name the company? Found it, company is called “Done Health”

“Ruthia He, the founder and CEO of Done Global Inc., was arrested in Los Angeles and will make her initial appearance at 1:30 p.m. PDT/4:30 p.m. EDT in Los Angeles. David Brody, the clinical president of Done Health P.C. (collectively, Done), was arrested in San Rafael, California, and will make his initial appearance at 10:30 a.m. PDT/1:30 p.m. EDT in San Francisco, California.”

Snapz OP ,

Yeah, feels like that or some sort of mock speak miming that the actor does so they can then dub over during post production in Italian, French, Japanese, etc.

I feel like there’s something like that in older 2D animation as well, right? Where they’d animate a character’s mouth to generally move so that when an actor added voice later it was convincing “enough”.

With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play....

Snapz ,

For team sports, don’t all firefighters have to go through the some physical stress test to show they can all operate on the same basic level? Maybe there is that minimum physicality test and if you can pass it, male or female, you become NFL eligible - maybe it’s a combine thing? You can then have since that are more of less fit and capable, as with firefighters, but they’ve all met that standardized minimum to start. How does that not solve this?

For broader need, maybe you could just start with the majority of the Olympics being co-ed and weight class?

In that scenario, I think people may need to be ready to accept that there could still be a “natural” separation in performance by sex to start as even strong athletes may still be socialized to play differently. Give it a generation or so though and I think the weight class thing could normalize competition level as birth-assigned boys and girls grow up playing with each other on the same fields.

Snapz ,

I just don’t think I agree with this though, and maybe we’ll just stop at a fundamental disagreement.

Again…

  • pairing different general body types in weight classes where applicable
  • as well as the potential for that general physicality test to set a minimum for a league.
  • plus time to normalize true co-ed competition where folks grow up knowing nothing else but normal and aren’t stigmatized for developing their body to fit a given sport’s ideal need.

The third one probably asks the most of current society (though that’s a sad comment on society) in having to accept the appearance of someone actively acting against currently socialized standards of attractiveness associated with assigned sex. But if we could trying embrace those three, my personal hypothesis is that things would level much more than most expect.

The true and only reason that we don’t do this, is that it would label those bottom third or so of males that fear they would be labeled as “less capable than a girl!”. Whereas now, even the worst players on the high school football team can usually get on the team and wear a jersey around campus, regardless of if they ever actually get into games. That kid’s bigoted parent will fight to be sure “their son’s spot” is not earned by a more capable birth assigned female.

Oh, here we are again in the hands out, crying for help and funds portion of the “no guv’ment!!!” and “we’re gonna sucede!!!” crowd.

Is your raised truck not high enough for you to take shelter from the floods in? Can’t you hang your wet clothes to dry from the “rolling coal” pipe you have? Can you use those 27 trump flags made of asbestos as a blanket to warm you?

Maybe as you’re waiting for the “guv’ment” to come rescue you like a frightened fairytale princess, feed you with taxpayer dollars and repair your uninsurable without “guv’ment” help homes… Maybe you could just float on your back in the water while you wait and think about your stance on climate change?

And remember, as your elderly neighbor’s dead body floats by next to you, you can always use all your left over “Joe Brandon, I DID THAT!!!” gas pump stickers to put over their eyes and mouth to keep them closed.

Put it at the end, otherwise, this is knowing clickbait.

musk already purchased her…

Tesla Board Chairperson Robyn Denholm urged shareholders to re-approve CEO Elon Musk’s $46 billion pay package this week, saying the vote is “not about the money” while suggesting that Musk could leave Tesla or devote less time to the company if he isn’t properly compensated. “This is obviously not about the money. We all know Elon is one of the wealthiest people on the planet, and he would remain so even if Tesla were to renege on the commitment we made in 2018,” Denholm wrote in a June 5 letter to shareholders. Musk’s pay plan was nullified by a Delaware Court of Chancery ruling in January 2024 after a lawsuit filed by a shareholder. The ruling said that Denholm had a “lackadaisical approach to her oversight obligations” and “derived the vast majority of her wealth from her compensation as a Tesla director.” It also said most board members “were beholden to Musk or had compromising conflicts,” and that the proxy information given to shareholders before the 2018 vote was “materially deficient.”

  • Uber’s get $1 - $3 depending on driver/distance
  • To-go orders get NOTHING.
  • Sit down food gets 15-20%, depending on server
  • Drinks at a bar get $1-$2 each drink.
  • Barber probably gets the biggest tip at $10-$15, but base price is going up so maybe adjusting down next time.

And I do not do delivery apps.

You’re absolutely “fighting the man”. You not tipping puts pressure on the owner class to pay a decent living wage to their employees or risk losing their workforce over time. Just need to all continue to hold on this trend that the article describes and keep that arrow going down. At the same time, these workers will be motivated to unionize and get the worth of their labor with current union momentum that’s on the increase.

“Not fighting the man”… What a hollow statement?

Snapz ,

It will always be like this… until it isn’t. Your argument is tired. “The moment” eventually has to happen to force change. You take things like the 40 hour work week and weekends for granted, but people died in labor demonstrations and factory disasters to secure that comfort for us all. I pay my federal/state taxes and local levies, I support social safety net programs. These tips will not be the difference between someone eating or not, but it may be enough for them to force the ruling class to cede just a little more profit to the workers (or pressure the state to act against business of those social safety net programs are being more heavily utilized).

Childish is you being completely oblivious to any nuance in my previous post and not responding to it substantively when you choose to respond. You’re a child in a room full of adults having a conversation and you’re punching kneecaps and screaming down there, feisty little guy!

You hold a smartphone with the collective knowledge of humanity in your hand, and you think that because you have quick access to that intelligence, it means you are intelligent. But you have no idea what you’re actually talking about.
