I prefer the AmazonBasics 6 ft certified lightning cable. I have never had any issues with it breaking down. It doesn’t seem to tangle either. 6 ft means you can (usually) use your phone when it’s plugged into the wall, but it’s not so long that it’s entirely cumbersome. And it’s fairly cheap at $8. They’re the only…

The procedure has been referred to as a “three person baby,” which, according to PBS, makes some doctors “wince”
I think this is why it’s important to focus solutions on equality and gender egalitarianism. When there is a culture where men see women as their equals (edit: and vice versa, although problems with women treating men poorly are an infinitesimal fraction of the current situation), with the same desires, motivations,…
Eeeeesha... Thank you very much. No wonder we’re having so much trouble making it stop, we can’t even figure out how often it happens and to whom. Just gotta keep trying and making progress, we have to pray and hope and believe we can fix this someday.
Unless that rape rate is “per year”, assuming most women are raped only once in college, then that adds (slightly overestimating the real number), and with an average of 4 years, that’s 12.2%. That’s closer to the 19% I guess?
Wait... sorry... math question... you said stats is 6.1 in 1000. At 80% unreported, that means only 1/5 is reported. So 5*6.1=30.5. So that’s 30.5 in 1000. But that’s 3.05%...
He withdrew before he could be expelled, but he was banned from Stanford. Which means, if he sets foot on Stanford property he will be trespassed.
“in a statement whose pointed dearth of logic”
Well, we’ve moved away from poor houses and debtors prisons, when being in debt was basically a crime. We’ve tried to reduce sentences for non-violent offenders when we learned that recidivism goes up the longer you’re incarcerated. We’ve tried to transition from simply imprisoning illegal drug users, which simply…
Ah! I didn’t know that bit about state vs. federal, thanks!
Ahhhhhhh... wow... I thought it would be objective, that there would be way more structure to all of this. I thought people would have argued policy and there would be a philosophy behind everything. That would explain a lot.
I understand how you could be frustrated with me. All you see is a male face asking questions about attempted rape- it’s easy to jump to conclusions about my prejudices and intentions.
Something like years feels more appropriate. But why 6? Instead of say 1, 2, 4, or 10? And why did the probation official recommend 1? I’m just looking for why’s and I don’t know how to find any.
That’s what I thought, thanks. I didn’t know juries weren’t informed of potential jail time, but it makes sense if their job is just to decide if the law was broken.
Obviously I’m invested in this. There’s a reason.
For (a) I just found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_…. If I’m reading it correctly, a judge can only overturn a guilty verdict, because overturning an innocent verdict violates a defendant’s 6th amendment rights to a trial by jury.
Plus it sounds like the jury was pretty pissed that the DA wasn’t bringing charges against the proper defendants. It looks like the original DA lost her job over this, which I’d say is good. I don’t know if I can blame the judge for this one?
I looked that up and it was a jury trial, so the judge didn’t let them off... Don’t judges have to adhere to juries’ verdicts? Am I missing something...?
Plus I’m specifically curious about what the sentencing guidelines are in this case and whether (and to what degree) the judge did or didn’t adhere to the guidelines. The follow-up to that would be whether or not the judge has a poor history of following sentencing guidelines. Or a history of leading or instructing…
Um... I mean... that’s just not about the judge. That was a jury trial, and the jury found the defendants not liable. I thought that judges had to abide by the jury’s decisions, right?
