You ever read the case of how someone willingly got cannibalized? People’s fetishes literally span from not fucking in any position but missionary to willingly getting eaten by another human. Willingly becoming a sex slave fits comfortably in between. Humans are weird.

“...to join, women are brainwashed into handing over blackmail-worthy material such as pornographic pictures or financial information.”

So . . . DOS are just Goreans with more money? Warning: that’s a Wikipedia link, which has a topless woman in it. Because even the Wikipedia page for the Gor lifestyle is NSFW.

Yeah I’m one of the grad students that would need to pay about 13k of my 29k stipend in taxes under this plan, because they count tuition as income. It blows. It’s not like I can drop out of grad school and “keep” that 50k in tuition money—it never touches my bank account. The university pays the money from itself to…

Why would a devote Libretarian live in an HOA? Unless said Libertarian is running it to his or her own specifications it seems counterintuitive.

His foreign trips are akin to the saying of the pigeon that plays chess - it knocks over the board, flies back to its nest and loudly claims victory among its peers.

Really, every day this just gets more unclear. Was Paul having an affair with Bouche’s wife or daughter or son? Inquiring minds want to know!

I refuse to pick a side between Rand Paul and the assholes who run his gated community.

It’s Rand Paul getting his arse kicked for once. It could’ve been for having his grass 0.1 inches too tall for the residential committee and I’d still find it justified.

Exactly this. Commenting to bump.

I’d be praising the NYT right now, they’re the real winners.

Yeah. This is the part that doesn’t sit well with me about this article. I never assume a victim is lying, but I need a victim before I can make any assumptions. I feel like this article paints the commentariat as sexual assault apologists which is mostly disingenuous.

I mean if you’re going to link anything, you should be linking to this:

This. THIS.

I guess I don’t get how you can play the “we’re doing real journalism” card when the NY Times busted the story wide-open with 5 sources in what, a few weeks since the Weinstein stuff broke? And you’ve supposedly had it for years?

I did not plug my ears. I did exactly what I said I would do.

People have the right to tell their own stories when they are ready to tell them. Reporting those stories without their permission, reporting them as rumors or “open secrets” is unfair to the victims and can even undermine their story when/if they’re ready to tell it. It may actually cause harm to the victims. Why…

No, as I’ve said before, if there is a rumor they should have jumped in with both feet. They should have gone to female comics and male comics. They should have talked with workers at comedy clubs and festivals. They should have made the fact that some rumors have been disavowed by women while stating that the fact…

I’m not defending myself. But it IS on the person who did it, not on commenters who didn’t have all the information that the writers had. I believed Kirkman. She obviously lied, I wish I hadn’t assumed she was telling the truth. Hindsight is 20/20.

Bingo.
