Rape culture doesn't mean just mean thinking rape is A-OK. Most everyone would agree that it is not. However, the term comes from people excusing a lot of things surrounding it. Yes rape is bad... but what was she wearing? Was she drinking? Why was she wearing a skirt? Though this is not an example of rape,

They can be closely tied. This post from yesterday shows how a lot of sexual assaults start off as 'mere' harassment. The kind of attitude that sees harassment as being 'no big thing' can and does lead to actual assaults. People who violate boundaries have no issues with violating boundaries.

The edit window is long since closed at this point. I literally meant what I said. I was completely off-topic (maddening at times I suppose) and I happen to loathe spiders. I thought you were implying that manatees hated spiders, and not trolls. Hence the spirit animal comment.

Ah, you mean trolls are afraid of spiders God, i resemble a troll. Ick.

Completely off topic, but manatees are afraid of spiders? I think I have found my spirit animal.

Reading this, I could only think of the director job being like the Defense Against Dark Arts job in Harry Potter. What was the longest tenure of any given director?

The dental surgery thing is possible. I had four wisdom teeth taken out under twilight sedation on a Friday. Took Monday/Tuesday off of work because I was planning to deal with a horror show. Friday afternoon, took a nap to sleep off the drugs and I was right as rain immediately after. With a super long weekend.

Even worse. Not sentencing guidelines, but state sentencing laws as per the excerpt above. I hope he's bounced from the bench before he can retire.

I think it's mostly the judge's remarks coupled with the victim's suicide. I'm curious as to what the sentencing minimums are in the states you've listed above as well. Because apparently this guy was supposed to be sentenced to a minimum of 2 years according to sentencing laws as opposed to mere guidelines.

It is! I spent a fair amount of time reading that yesterday.

*solidarity fist bump*

That's the opening lyric to one of KP's songs (I forget which at the moment and too lazy to search)

Replying to (hopefully) bump this up. This is bullshit.

Wtf is that? I hope that sentence (or rather "sentence") is appealed because it is beyond ridiculous.

That's another story entirely. Saying someone is racist is not in fact racist itself (and I'm black by the way, don't know why you need the us v. you language) and quite frankly people who try to flip the script like that ("I'm not racist! YOU are racist for saying I'm racist [wtf? shut up]) are even worse than

Yup. Finally

there is nothing like it [...] after it.

Yes! Thank you. I remembered the name 'Kane' but couldn't remember the whole title. That was a gross incident.

Truth. And when they do cross over it's horrible. I remember there was a game site that took this giant ad for a game (I can't remember the name of it) and had banners, side-panels and just skinned the entire website with this game's colours, images, etc. But then advertising came down on the reviewers and told them
