(I thought the same thing)

Senior pranks are always dumb. Always. Anything even remotely noteworthy you can do will end up costing you. And if you go the route of my class’s “senior prank” (a random beach party in the quad), you just have the administration rolling its eyes and telling you to get back to class.

Actually, I’m pretty sure more people voted for Ivanka when they voted for Donald than its safe to admit. People really REALLY like her, and think she’s a “sobering” voice in the White House.

If “That Guy” means “The guy presenting facts that explain why this is so fucked up”, then by all means keep doing what you’re doing.

You’ve articulated exactly why the motion was denied.

I’m not a legal expert, but I could maybe see a case where the prosecution introduces an expert witness for the very purpose of making a specific point against the defendent, a point which that expert witness might not make under other circumstances. In other words, I could see the defense making the argument that the…

My company doesn’t allow me to claim ANY alcohol on my expense report.

Well that’s my point. Requiring written consent is, in my mind, a great idea, but the language of a law would have to define what constitutes written consent. In other words, does a text that says “don’t share this” count? Can it be revoked? Who does the burden of proof lie with, the victim or the perpetrator?

There are plenty of immoral laws, and have been for generations. Slavery is a fine example. Tragically, laws and morals do not always align. The reason I said “regardless of the moral issue” is that when it comes to legal language, you’re going to run into issues. The fact that everything I said is “extremely vague”…

I imagine an issue would arise as to the when: in other words, can a person revoke consent once given, and what effect does that have on images already shared. And how does this affect porn? Can a person who sells their image revoke the right to sell that image? And what counts as consent? Does a person who shares an…

“It’s Uzbekibekibekibekistanstan” -Herman Cain

I’m sure she’s got money from elsewhere by just being who she is. And I’m also sure that Trump covers all of Tiffany’s expenses (college, living, etc) and therefore she gets to spend all her money on herself.

Nobody makes the same joke about the brothers because Donald Trump doesn’t say how hot they are and how he’d date them if they weren’t his sons. Context is important, its not sexism.

Didn’t know

News to me, won’t make that mistake twice

I totally would be. That’s the point I’m trying to make.

Like the recent outcry over the women-only Wonder Woman screening, the difference will lie in whether they actually excluded white people (i.e. if you’re white you’re barred from entering) or if it just isn’t for white people and therefore would be in bad taste for them to attend. The former is descrimination, and I…

I don’t know how I feel about this. While I 100% agree that female directors need more representation in Hollywood, this feels to me like the same logic behind the “I’m only going to read female authors” crowd. It feels like a smug, self-congratulatory gesture.

The Hill isn’t right wing, but its prone to publishing some pretty terrible opinion pieces, from both sides. Its selling point is that its a news source for what’s happening on Capital Hill. It ends up being fairly reliable when you’re looking for up-to-date info from congress.

I’m disappointed. This had all the ingredients of success: The Rock, Zac Efron in a doucebro comedy role (aka the best part of Neighbors) and the fact that 21 Jump Street exists as a near-perfect case study on how to do this sort of thing right. The trailer was good, even, enough to make you interested in seeing it.
