    Ghaderi claims Krishnakumar later pressured her into delaying the start of her maternity leave from the planned date of November 7. Agreeing to the request, she worked until November 15, 2022, “the day she was forced to undergo an emergency C-section,” according to the filing.

    What the actual fuck!?

    "Amazon specifically told me to ignore IP laws. That’s wild, right?

    On an unrelated note, did you know that there’s now a torrent with infohash 5e007531c6e7c8d23a957f0ccaba20d4c57b5078 that compiles all Kindle books and Prime videos? Crazy stuff!"

      Highly doubt anybody ever “asked”
