He forcibly backed her into a corner and kissed her, after Cheryl had already rejected his previous advance and asked him to leave. How is that at all okay? WTF is wrong with you?

At least 12 women according to the update in Cheryl's post. Most, if not all of these women, are also people of color according to Sarah Kunst. <<Update>> I just spoke to Sarah Kunst and learned from her that at least 12 o

Sexual harassment and bullying others isn't the same as addiction. Let's not categorize this type of behavior as a disease. By his own admission he knew what he was getting at; leveraging his power to take sexual advantage of the

If this is true, it makes his apology all the more insincere. How do you continue to act this way after already settling multiple cases?

I'd rather not turn this into a pedantic argument where we parse every word, sentence, and phrase. But I'll respond because I think we prob agree more than disagree and trust that you have good intentions and want a dialogue. >

Other posters agree with my read on his apology. While apologizing, McClure is also simultaneously trying to water down Sarah's presentation of the story; that the situation was more/less social in nature... specifically he says s

by ithinkinstereo 9y ago
Apologies like McClure are insincere because his behavior has likely been going on for years; targeting many many women (at least 6 according to his accuser); and because McClure knew then, as he does now, that he was in the wrong. Why do y

It's a qualified apology. I dislike how he not-so-subtly tries to justify his actions by painting a context that delegitimizes Sarah's claims. It's worth noting that Sarah claims that many other women contacted her with simil

You're absolutely correct about being "marked" on Wall Street. Unlike tech, most professional services (banking/consulting/law), don't require particularly skill, but rather the right pedigree, connections, and

I think this is a cop-out excuse. Even the frattiest of frat boys have moms, sisters, and girlfriends/wives. This isn't that complicated, it's simply "treat others how you wish to be treated." Before you proposition

This is the "I can't be racist because my best friend is black" defense. It's hard for me to see where all the McClure defenders are coming from. Is it that hard to see his actions in this specific instance as being (wil

Wow at $460 CAC you'd have the retain the customer for well over a year before you made that back (assuming 2 weeks of Blue Apron at $60/week per month with ~30% margin).

Blue Apron believes its cash and borrowing capacity will be sufficient for at least a year, it said in its revised deal prospectus after lowering its IPO price range. That's crazy they only have a year's worth of runway. I'

On the flip-side, if she takes the helm at Uber and brings it from the brink to a huge IPO, she'll achieve GOAT status. She also has lots of experience dealing / managing a strong-willed founder with all the equity control. I real

How so? It's perfectly okay for pilots to be spiritual/religious. It's not okay for pilots to take time, in the middle of dealing with an engine failure, to ask passengers to "pray" for a safe resolution. The golden

Yes, I see that; but toomanybeersies was replying to jpatokal's post about Air Asia's safety record, so I assumed part of his comment about AA "running a tight ship" is in relation to that. SE Asia carriers -- specifical

You're missing the point; it's completely unprofessional.

You have it backwards. JetStar > AirAsia in terms of safety.

The captain apparently informed the passengers he was praying for their survival and asked that they pray too[1]. This tells you everything you need to know about the quality of AirAsia pilots. Anytime I fly in that area of the world, I mak

In this case, we don't have to judge. Caldbeck already admitted to it. Case closed, time for sentencing.

I see your points about false accusations, but how many false accusations cases involve multiple accusers spanning back years?

Well the recent discussion about TK resigning has over 1,000 comments and was on the front page for at least two days.
