If a friend asks me to promote his book, but he never promoted mine, what is the ethical thing to do?

I care as much about Airbnb hosts as I do about landlords and CEOs. Their pain is literally a bright spot in an otherwise bleak time. Their tears are the joy-delivering antidote to my rage. Their suffering makes it that much easier for me to wake up another day.

The number is exactly 1 student, actually. In the entire state.
Imaging foregoing your duty to Pennsylvanians during the worst economic crisis most of us have ever seen to use the weight of an entire legislative chamber to bully one literal child🙃

I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear this news, and I’m thinking of Bernadette and her loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
We cannot tolerate political or sexual violence in any form. Those responsible must be held accountable.
Thank you for speaking out, Bernadette. We're with you. phoenixnewtimes.com/news/con…

so much hyperventilated fuss about "The Odyssey" which was neither a masterpiece nor a catastrophe-- just a movie adaptation of the classic. the "Digger" case is somewhat different because reviews & articles have been so vehement & jeering about ticket sales with a focus on money.
many a filmmaker, artist, writer, poet of quality would be considered a "failure" if financial earnings were the sole consideration; not to mention the earnings of reviewers, critics.

Hot airline take:
1st checked bag should be free
Carry-On luggage should be $25
People bringing on carry-on luggage is what makes everything horrible when boarding and departing.
It slows everything down. There is never enough space. It forces people to block everyone to try and board early in their zone to get luggage space. It makes departing way slower.
A bunch of people are forced to check the bags anyway.
Backpacks and purses free. But charge for carry on luggage. It would make life so much smoother.
I know everyone will be against this, but you know I’m right.

why are men so afraid of being falsely accused? just stay inside, don’t put yourself in situations like these, don’t go out alone at night, don’t drink, dress modestly, and you might not be targeted. be more vigilant and take some accountability for your own reputation. hope this helps.

hey so everyone involved in this should be fired
