Legally speaking, the finding of fact was "sexual abuse," because of a very stupid legal definition of "rape."

What if I call the iPad a "really big iPhone"?

If.

She will never see a dime. He gets away with it again, and he will continue to until he is actually taken into custody.

He's the old man with plenty of violent followers who hang on his every word. He's not expecting any actual National Guard troops from other states to be mobilized. This is a call for the same people who invaded the Capitol to assemble in Texas and dare federal forces to try and move them.

A couple of weeks ago, I came to the realization that I - an old white guy who probably doesn't get much of a second glance from the fascists - have a special responsibility to be prepared to protect people who are being sidelined, by whatever means necessary. So far, those means have only amounted to showing up to prevent the school board from being overtaken by crazy people, and making sure the library district is supported against book ban fucks. Thankfully, I live in an (albeit rural) area where progressives are fairly well organized, so I'm not at all on my own.

Anyway - I am fully aware that "protecting people" will also mean more than just being politically active, and could well mean I have to put myself in harm's way. I'm not standing down from that. That's not an available option for everyone, and if it's not for you, your being engaged with your community will enable and empower people like me to take that on.

I think that before the year is out, a whole lot of people are going to have to do things they never imagined they'd have to do

Who died and made you king of how imaginary superpowers work?

1943.

You can honestly start your own TLD for a lot less with any DNS server. That doesn't mean anyone else will necessarily use it, but you can.

Telekinesis. Build a platform, stand on platform, lift platform.

Now I get flight along with it, and without the speed limit.

I don't doubt you one bit. I know that Chinese cars have had some sketchy safety issues, but it does look like they're really turning that around now on many models.

"Crumple like tin cans," as long as you're not talking about the passenger cabin, is what safe cars are supposed to do.

I haven't done a deep dive yet, but this seems to suggest that crash testing for many Chinese cars is actually pretty good.

Skin suit full of butthole spiders.

Considering that it's already illegal to force students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, or even stand for it, this is at best idiotic, and at worst, a gateway to overturning the bit about the Pledge and opening the gates to political indoctrination of children.

I feel like people downvote like that when they don't like how the comment makes them feel, but can't be bothered to think about why that's the case.

And I have no interest in what those people think feel.

Alternatively, it can make me do a double take, and reconsider my own reasoning, just to make sure I haven't made an error, in fact or in judgment. I don't think you need to do that here; what the adult said was most definitely a potential threat.

It's just edgy teenagers who think they know everything about how the world works, don't sweat it.

She's so bad at faking smartness that she can barely be dumb.

His whole thing got sidelined for him, but he broke the rules and empowered the Fuckface Caucus to make the House Republicans look foolish, and they're coming for their pound of flesh.

I feel it is a close second to people generally backing the fuck off in public places.

Shitty reference to so many states implementing wider mail-in voting?
