THE MANDALORIAN: Fired Cara Dune Actress Gina Carano Shares Lengthy Tribute For The Late Carl Weathers

@harryba11zack - ...and, eventually, he ended up losing to both :D (1-1 against Rocky and 0-1 against the Predator).

@Patient2670 - Oh I agree that the bait is intentional to stir up clicks. It is what it is. I’m coming here either way, and with this article specifically, it’s a great time to honor Carl Weathers and to engage around the issues Gina is demonized about.

@Patient2670 - There are certain people, like JK Rowling, Gina Carano, Leticia Wright, any race swapped major role, etc, that Josh can’t help but bait with. And just the presence of the article isn’t the problem as much as his consistently terrible commentary.

But yeah he gets the win with extra clicks. An extra few bucks in his pocket I guess.

@Patient2670 - I’m a fan of at will employment so I’m not sure if there is a legit case there, unless they violated some terms of her contract.

Most employers are allowed to fire you for things you say online, even if the reason they do so is stupid.

@Patient2670 - Wrongful termination lawsuits happen all the time. Personally I have no desire to dive into this deep enough to learn more.

I think that it’s wrong for an employer to tell an employee what medicines to take. I’ve been working for 25 years for a number of companies, and I’ve seen employees do a large number of unhealthy things to themselves. And we always knew the vaccine didn’t stop the spread so this move was never about protecting others.

That being said, even though it is ridiculous to fire an employee for not getting a vaccine, I still think they should be legally allowed to do so.

@Patient2670 - Many people do. Just as evil when they do it, but the real difference is the scope. You can choose to not join the military or take your kid to that school. But when it’s instituted country wide, you can’t not work. And the passports are even worse. So people are supposed to just never enter a grocery store, restaurant, etc? It was evil and no science backed it.

@marvel72 - Oh, wait. He did make a statement:

@Origame - It’s as silly as calling her anti-semitic or a Holocaust denier for making a completely valid comparison between the papers Jews had to show before the Holocaust started to the vaccine passports. She wasn’t minimizing the Holocaust. She was using that tragedy to accurately depict how wrong vaccine passports were. Thankfully so many of us pushed back on that authoritarian nonsense that we got governments to back off from their fascist policies.

@Origame - yeah. She got royally screwed. She never said anything wrong; she simply said that it's her choice not to list pronouns on her bio.

@Origame - In fact isn't it a form of bigotry to be against someone choosing not to list their pronouns. I'd make the same choice. I don't identify with any of the genders (there are three now, male, female and non-binary) I think they're all stupid.

My pronouns are whatever the hell works. I got a dick, so I guess the standard would be he/him, but whatever suits you suits me fine too. It's really not that important and certainly isn't worth getting all worked up over.

People always fight in Monopoly over who gets to be the car. I really don't give a shit. Give me the boot or the hat, it's not really gonna make a difference to how I play the game and my sense of self identity isn't so fragile that I need so badly to see myself as a sports car.

@Origame - That's the game these folks play: "if you don't agree with 100% of what I say I believe (even though I don't actually believe it myself and am just playing along because TikTok told me to), then I'm going to either bury you or at the very least try to lessen you as human even when you do good things."

@mountainman - It makes them feel better about themselves I think.

And even though it's something I would never conceivably give two [frick]s about myself, I do act accordingly, if someone insists I use a certain pronoun.

The only thing about me that is male is biological. So like you said about yourself, you can probably tell I'm male too. Biology used to be the only thing that mattered, but now we have to identify a certain way. Like choosing a team to support or something. A lot of what I do is defined by my dick and the amount of testosterone in my body required to own, operate and regulate a dick and if I was born with female reproductive organs (biologically) I'd probably behave differently, but either way I'd still be me. I don't let my genitals define me, because they're just one aspect of me.

Modern definitions of gender are so ill-defined anyway. I'd have to see an accurate list of what I'm allowed to be and do according to the rules, lol.
I'll be like mmm I do like a good action movie so maybe I'd better be male. Oh but shit, then I could never watch a romcom so maybe I should be gender fluid, lol... It all just seems so stupid to me.

[disclaimer: Sorry if that offends anyone, it's just how it seems to me]

Having to tell people your pronouns just seems so unnecessary. If you call someone a she because they look or seem like a female to you and they correct you, then no biggie, you say "Oh sorry" and you rectify. No problem. No need to put it on a form or say it after introducing yourself.

Also, it's not progressive (hoo boy you got me ranting now, lol). Progressive would be not having to say your pronouns. Why should your gender matter so much that they demand you to give your pronouns. Gender should have nothing to do with it.

Can you imagine if you had to say your sexuality too? Or any recent sexual fetish you might have aquired.

"Hi, I'm Bob, Public Relations Manager, He/Him, Eagles fan, Vegetarian, Heterosexual, Furry, Foot Fetish, I like to dress as a baby and get spanked by a nun while my wife watches and jerks off.
Right! Down to business..."

It's just ridiculous, lmao.

@mountainman - Totally agree. It is kind of narcissistic I suppose, isn't it? Good for that non-binary person to not get their panties in a huff over it. Because at the end of the day if you feel insulted by any gender then you're automatically equating that gender as an insult, which is insulting that entire gender in itself.

@mountainman - True I see long hair, pink dress, big boobs, I automatically think it's a woman. Then I realize I'm drunk and looking in a mirror. Time to get home 'fore anything happens to me.

@GhostDog - I think I have only seen it once on VHS, so can't remember too much about it but I know I liked it when it came out.

@mountainman -

I agree. I thought she did well enough in the things she did.

@DocSpock -


She went with Ben Shapiros daily wire. The films were terrible. She is finished 🤡
