That's not part of the logistical problem with this legislation because that's not how it works. Yes Means Yes recognises nonverbal consent. So if you go ahead and put your hand up your partner's skirt and she's enjoying it, you're fine. If she starts crying and shuts down and tries to curl up in the fetal position…

Really? Huh. My experiences have been different from yours. I like asking if I can do stuff to the other person and I also enjoy hearing about what they propose to do to me.

I guess I otter know better than to try to sneak bad puns into my comments.

This is genius. Because now the aquarium can say, "Meet and greet with Benedict Cumberbatch!" And then only after all the fans have paid their way in, they'll explain, "Oh, we didn't mean actor Benedict Cumberbatch. We meant the otter one."

Or if a burner account posts an image, have it set so that the comment automatically sits in limbo until it gets approved.

Iceland is really nice, but there aren't direct flights from Ireland. They'd be better off meeting up in Toronto or something.

I don't know if they do. That's why I'm asking. I was under the impression that it's a big procedure to try and track a mobile phone if you don't know its location and that you have to get the provider involved, but I could be wrong.

But if you don't have a landline, will they still be able to find you if you call and say nothing? It would be nice if they had the technology to be able to just track where a mobile call is coming from and be able to show up.

I always imagine this scenario! And in my daydream, I regret not being able to text the police. Or sometimes I imagine being kidnapped and wanting to text from the boot of the car but not wanting to call in case the killer would hear me and figure out that I have a phone and that I've managed to free one hand from the…

Really? Because I just googled the book along with the terms islamaphobia and racism and quite a few search results popped up, including a discussion on Racialicious, so just because you've never heard the claim doesn't mean it never happens.

They can be really aggressive animals apparently. And other times they are just eccentric.

I've had weird experiences with moose in North America. I got treed by a bull moose and then he started charging the tree, trying to knock it over. But luckily he gave up after awhile. After that situation, a friend gave me a moose antler hat as a joke. After a night of drinking, I passed out in his camper wearing the…

No. This isn't a "no homo" on my part. Have you read the network's description of the show? It's a load of really dated gender essentialism about men becoming real men again by returning to the wild. It's either really sexist or a really camp fantasy from the 1970s club scene. I think it's more fun to read it as being…

Well, if they could embrace the camp element, that would be helpful. (But they probably can't because Bear is a conservative.). But as it is, the bro stuff + the copy they're shilling it with = those MADTV Abercrombie sketches.

This show seems to be one giant, homosocial, bromancefest. And that's cool. But I think they need to rethink the marketing strategy.

Where I come from, visible tan lines are a status symbol because they show you can afford swimwear.

Ok, it's been too many years since I read that book. Anyway, sorry this was just a giant derail because I think you're right about the kind of women who become Serena Joy types.

Is it wrong that I want to make that painting into a flashing misandry gif?

Disclaimer: I don't personally like the book. Frankly, I thought it was a bit silly. But the extreme religion aspect of it didn't bother me. We see little fundamentalist religious dystopias pop up all the time. As you point out, under the Taliban.

I've heard a lot of Muslims call that book racist because of the veils and the religion depicted, even though in the book, it's supposed to be an extreme version of Christianity.
