The difference is that one has a victim present and the other doesn't. A rape kit, without a testimony, is basically worthless for a sexual assault case. It also presumes that there was effect on the female genitals and/or male ejaculation, neither of which are necessary.

Forget the specific of "sexual assault" (because that's really moot here, as far as the legal actions are concerned) and replace it with "violent crime". There's a certain line where the legal system is obligated to prosecute whether you want to press charges yourselves or not. At that point you stop being one party…

HAHAHAHA, you think that ulta-orthodox are celibate? Technically speaking, it's a sin not to bork your wife, in some interpretation where it's a sin to refuse her if she approaches you for it.

It's something like 4 for every 1 here in the UK, though some studies lean more towards 7.

I'm blonde, and that's too much for a lot of the frum people that I deal with. Ultra-orthodox folks in some places are easily 10x as bad.

They're absolutely bonkers. I've lived in a lot of places, but frummers rank pretty high on my list of nuts.

The high point of my gaming career was Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast. Where you switched between 3rd and 1st person, the terrain could be laughably/deviously maneuverable, and the weapons/powers made it possible for combat to turn into rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock.

OK, maybe I'm confused, or just jaded by these conversations: is there some other definition of "MRA" that I'm missing here?

I was going to say that you're a fucking asshole for basically slandering anyone coming in here for being a rape apologist (let's forget that there's not even rape involved in this, just grossly inhuman acts of horror, but sure let's tote out "rape apologist" for it), and you are. Let's not ignore that fact. You're…

My point is that most non-Amerincan counties have a very small amount of native production companies. BBC is probably one of the biggest ones, but by and large any country you don't live might have one, maybe two studios who block international viewing of trailers (not streaming video, trailers; the stuff they…

To be fair, as an American living in the UK, I have to deal with this "not authorized in your country" bullshit a lot more frequently than someone living in the US. Off the top of my head, the BBC is the only orginization I can think of outside of the US that does this, and it's more about the draconian laws binding…

Yeah, no, that's less "crazy stalker" and more "creative asshole". As said, 1:1 situation, meh?

These would be the catalyst for me nope-nope-nopeing my way back to my locked house for the indeterminate future. I grew up in the middle of bumfuck nowhere watching enough horror movies and news to know this is the type of stuff that escalates quickly.

Well, out of the branches of the judeo-christian "big three" you're correct, and also for some of the "big" asian religions, but past that...

You might as well say that because Easter is fictitious it's equally believable that it should involve stabbing. There's "make-believe" and there's "how did you even get from A to B".

Ditto. Not knowing the situation, but anyone that'll go through 10 years of "fake friendship" probably has a rason for hating them that boarders on delusional.

Yeah, while he definitely wasn't the stereotypical hero of the show, he definitely was the guy who held everything together. I also thought he was a great example of "the SG program has expanded to the point where we can no longer take the best who are also good at teamwork... we need to start getting the brilliant…

It really is moments like that which keep me going.

Sorry, but you really do seem to be missing the main point: Money. The BBC is largely run by a bunch of idiot money-waters, and most of their income comes from frikin TV Licenses. Do you know how much that costs per household? Enough that it doesn't match up to my general run to a sweet shop down the street. It's…

Between 3 and 1. TV, Cable Box, and Speakers all have their own remotes (TV audio is hooked to the cable box, speakers are hooked to the PC), but our HTC phones have IR that can control any of them if we can be bothered to grab them instead of the remote or mouse.
