@GovernorVA it's like, read the room dude. people enjoy working from home. guess you can always go back to being a dishwasher after your term has ended (3/3)
@GovernorVA in fact, i know one Republican who had been told a couple of years ago that they could work from home permanently and they said they'd never vote Republican again. their child was very upset and is now saying "mommy, i'm a democrat now" (2/3)
@GovernorVA what i've heard from all of the state employees that i know went something along the lines of "[his] glorified office pizza party will never make up for the disruption to my life that his return to work policy caused" (1/3)
@JoeHedglin@hissgldnmssr that's fair. i'm not trolling or anything either. just genuinely asking questions. i guess ultimately if Will Smith isn't an abusive person then i don't even care at all because i don't watch awards shows bc for the most part they have nothing to do with the art i like!
@hissgldnmssr i didn't watch it. i just saw some headlines this morning. i guess i'm asking what's the most egregious aspect of it? the fact that Chris Rock was joking? the fact that it was public and televised? nothing leads me to believe Smith is an abuser. that's all.
@JoeHedglin@hissgldnmssr this is a devil's advocate thing. i'm just thinking out loud. would the situation i brought up be that much different? abuse makes me sick, etc., but i'd also never let someone trash talk my wife in front of her and that's not an "honor" thing.
@hissgldnmssr was probably inappropriate given her medical condition (I think?), but I guess it was supposedly okay because it was like a "roast" type situation? Has Will Smith been accused of abuse before or am I missing something here?
@hissgldnmssr Can you elaborate? I mean, I wasn't watching but I heard what happened. I'm asking what it has to do with abusers? I'm not necessarily standing up for Will Smith because I don't think he's ever made any art I care about so that's beside the point. Chris Rock's joke..
