People who don’t silence their phones/watch movies on planes without headphones deserve to be shot into space.

The idea that we live in a world where Al Franken’s name is being floated for VP is just so bizarre.
Listen, I have held my tongue when that decaying, hollowed-out tree trunk that is now housing a family of…
Al Franken is a great choice, I think.
Indians are one of the largest group of expats in Dubai. 80 percent of the students in my Gifted and Talented program are Indian girls. These girls are straight badass, 10 and 11 year Olds who have plans for their lives, encouraged, nay, demanded by their progressive parents. They will go to school in the States, they…
“You honor, my client should not be sentenced to jail for stealing that car, I’m not saying that car deserved to be stolen, but the care was expensive and nice, and an enticing red color. A young man should not have his life ruined because over a hot red car just left parked in the street.”
YOU JUST EQUATED MY BODY WITH A FUCKING CAR.
But getting drunk doesn’t put us at more risk of being raped. The only thing that increases our risk of being raped is crossing paths with a rapist.
So if you’re the subject of an assault, you're hospitalized, life-threatening injuries, head bloody, money stolen, the police should give you a good lecture on not being so drunk next time, right?
Or we can live in a society where safe places are actually safe and the thought of forcing yourself on another person and then blaming them for it would never cross your mind.
Yes but if you are drunk and become victim of a crime, chances are the perpetrator won’t be let off the hook BECAUSE you were drunk. “Yeah, that guy mugged you, but uh oh, looks like he mugged you while you were drunk. Sorry, dude. It was your own fault. We won’t convict him.”
If you got so drunk that a mugger noticed and decided to take advantage of that, a lawyer wouldn’t attempt to use your drunkenness to get the mugger off charges.
One reason we get so annoyed about this is because we can follow all these dumb rules and still get raped. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped drunk. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped sober. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by strangers. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by friends. People want to set up all these…
Obviously getting helplessly drunk is unsafe for anyone, though often understandable - many people, especially young newer drinkers, do not know their own tolerances. But yes, it’s dangerous, including in and of itself.
DID YOU ASK HER IF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FALL OUT AFTER THREE WEEKS?
Thank you. I’ve apologised my way out of too many frightening situations, and am obviously projecting, then. Happy to know you felt in control and confident while speaking to someone who is this unhinged. Hats off!
GREAT question tbh
I was laughing because it was genuinely pretty funny and I apologized because I was talking to a source, albeit a hostile one, and I try not to laugh in people’s faces even when they’re listing the dicks I should choke on or whatever
That level of invective and scarcely suppressed rage was chilling. Sorry you had to endure that.
