katsmeat:
Given how boring and mundane the specials board now appears to be. I suppose it's pretty obvious who was responsible for all the "Punch in the head, so you can call in sick" listings
Method of Madness:
I wouldn't call "sausage latte" boring or mundane.

Chess set... so wrong. Can't stop laughing.

How far should respect for another person's personal autonomy make you keep quiet when they're doing something you think ill-advised? This topic has come up before:

--- Quote from: nicoley on 20 Sep 2010, 00:48 ---I get that Dora is trying to look out for Hanners given Sven's past... but I don't like how she says "... but you can go." acting like it's actually her place to give permission. They are all adults and hanners can do whatever the hell she wants, screw Dora's bs paranoia. While I may be biased because of my long time dislike of Dora, it would annoy me if any other cast member acted this way too.

Hmmm... Personal autonomy is all well and good, but let us try a thought experiment. Imagine your friend, who had never driven a car before in her life, was proposing to take a Shelby Cobra* at high speed down a wet mountain road. Would you really just think "Meh... She's a grown-up, entitled to make her own decisions," and wave her off? Or try to talk her out of it?
Sven's background is that of a serial philanderer, with serious honesty, personal accountability, and self-control problems, who is (as far as Dora knows) unreformed, and who's shown that he's willing to seriously hurt her friends. Friends don't let friends drive drunk. Friends care enough about friends to try to talk them out of dangerous behaviour.

I REALLY don't think your analogy is accurate. Hanners has reservations herself, it would be closer to a 'friend who can't drive taking a motorized scooter down a hill."
i agree, Sven's been a dickhole, but the whole staff is AWARE, so add that the driver of the car has been warned THOROUGHLY of all the shit to watch out for, and given fair warning. At that point, Dora doesn't get a say, because it's not her that's getting involved.
