No. But it is also not rape under this law for a man to forcibly use his hand to jerk off a woman.

If a woman makes non consensual contact with a mans penis using her vagina, mouth, or anus, that is rape under this law.

Perhaps the law should cover it. But the absense of hand-genital contact in the law is gender neutral.

Yes, I've 3d printed circles from freecad without issue. There are some precision options when converting to a mesh. I always set them to the tolerances of my 3d printer.

Overall, it still has a lot of rough edges though.

Forced kissing, no matter how ambigous or clear the consent or lack thereof is; is not prohibited by this law.

Yes. The bill itself is here: https://legislation.nysenate.gov/pdf/bills/2023/S3161

It defines sexual contact as an act between 2 people, then separately defines rape as engaging in such an act without the consent of the other person.

So, if a penis makes contact with a vagina, that is always vaginal sexual contact under this law. If someone engages in vaginal sexual contact without the consent of the other person, that is rape under this law; without reference which gender is the victim.

The specific wording is even less ambigous, because it says "he or she engages in vaginal sexual contact". As defined by this law, there is no way for a women to engage in vaginal sexual contact with anyone other than a man [0]. Note that for this provision, all that changed was a broadening from sexual intercourse. The gender neutrality of the rape definition had always been there.

This does mean that contact between a hand or toy and a genital is not any type of sexual contact (as defined by this law), but that oversight applies to both penises and vaginas, so is not a gendered decision.

The law also defines anal and oral sexual contact, and puts them everywhere it puts vaginal sexual contact

[0] Or at least, no way for a vagina owner to engage in it without a penis owner. Since the law doesn't really talk about gender, there was no need for special provisions to cover trans folk.

Don't worry, Israel has a strong law of return. Once the infastructure is rebuilt; everyone with at least 1 Jewish grandparent will be allowed to return to Gaza.

Of course, calling for a right of return for the people who were literally just forced out will be a complete non starter.

Not nessasarily, the protocol could be written so that an instance simply tells other federared instances "X of my users upvoted this, and Y downvoted this".

The tradeoff being that instance then have less tools to work with to moderate voting. Instead of being able to do global vote ring detection, the most they can do is look for abuse on their own server, and trust that every instance they vote-federate with does the same. Even then, with every instance trying to be vigilant, no one instance would have the info to detect a cross-instance abuse.

Yes and no. A policy of overwhelming force is more effective if your metric is a binary peace/no peace. However, when it fails, it fails catastrophically, and you find yourself in a war that you do not think was anywhere near worth starting.

Both the US and Iran are being very restrained at the moment, and no one wins if that changes to both sides going all out. In fact, from what I can tell, both sides are being dragged into this conflict against their will.

Plus, the US has other concerns. There is still a war going on in Ukraine, where, as far as I can tell, US support is much more vital to US security interests. And there is the evergreen spectre of a war in Taiwan that the US needs to maintain posture on.

Back when I was learning, I made a flashcard program. It had a class that was essentially a constant array, so you could call get(int i), and it would return an object describing both sides of the card.

How did I implement such a class you ask? First, I made a spreadsheet with 2 collumns to hold the data, with a third collumn of incrementing integers. Then, in the 4th column, I used string concatanation to right a java if statement that compared a variable against the index collumn; and if they match, return an object constructed from the 2 data columns.

Click and drag the 1 cell I wrote in the 4th collumn to replicate it in all the rows, then copy and paste the 4th collumn into notepad++.

I'd like to say I've moved past this; but my most successful projects have mostly been code generation ones; so really I've just moved past Excell.

The treaty itself does not have any enforcement mechanism; however the US does. US courts recognize ratified treaties as having equal weight to laws passed the normal way Ratifying the Treaty would immediately make it federal law. The US has a robust enough legal system that the courts would the (over years of building up case law) determine exactly what that means.

Everyone who would actually know what they are doing in executions (doctors, pharmaceutical companies, veteranarians) have looked at it and said "this is barbaric in concept, no matter how humanely you do it, we will have no part in it". What you are left with is people without the relevent expertise, who do not have a problem with the barbarism, figuring out how to do it.

Q: Are the airstrikes in Yemen working?

Biden: Well, when you say "working". Are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes.

Typical US anti-terrorism policy

The "rally for sanity" was not centrist. It was a direct attack on the right wing media ecosystem

violates a district dress code that limits hair length for boys

I get the racism angle here, but isn't this an open and shut case of sexism?

These are not criminal masterminds we are talking about. These will be people who have never even considered violating the law; even as they activly violate it.

The police will get a tip that a pregnant girl is no longer pregnant. The prosecutor will have probable cause to subpeona her phone records. Her phone records will show a terrified teanager admitting to the crime.

Or they will subpoena the parent/trafficker's records. Which will show them contacting an abortion provider ahead of the trip. Probably also google searches about how to get an abortion.

If a jury "believes" their claim that they just dropped by an abortion clinic during their totally unrelated trip, it will almost always be a case of jury nullification. If these cases are actually prosecuted, I am sure we will see cases of jury nullification; but you really do not want to be relying on that.

Afghanistan didn't secede. The US just got bored with it.

More specifically, the Judge said that there was nor order preventing the Gov from filing. She then issued an order to that effect; so if Smith continues doing it, there likely would be a contempt order issued.

Tanya is nothing like that. Just look at how she steadfastly upholds the law of war: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=r8FAMFrOt_mpE_19&v=TqZz_WFPDa8&feature=youtu.be

Also her main goals are killing god, and getting promoted to a safe desk job. She's just so damn competent that they keep sending her to the front. Also, she's a man trapped in that body.

How do you think blockades work? The Houthi's didn't fire at ships for no reason. They fired at ships for violating the blockade. If they didn't do that, there would be no blockade.

And is that working? It sounds like their old plan is still running.

The Houthis are not new at this. They have been the target of literally thousands of airstrikes by Saudi Arabia, but have continued to operate.

The US is not new at this either. It has decades of experience loosing to much less technically capable forces fighting on their home turf. If history is anything to go by, this is simply not a fight the US military (or any modern military for that matter) is capable of winning.

Does you website you linked have any relationship with the research being discussed in the article?
