You kick them the fuck out.īut that's a bad thing now. Click to expand.Just once I'd like one of these people just to be a regular whore who really gets around but also does good work in the industry, instead of a social remora that drags conversation and whitespace into discussing how Everyone Is Working Against Them when that's exactly what ought to happen because that's what you do with people who contribute nothing but negativity.
