Certain jobs give you more access than a person who does something else. A football player is going to get invited to more parties, be around cheerleaders, and receive community support that an accountant wouldn’t receive. He used that access to commit rape.

i think rape is a different kind of crime to just do the time and then be on your way. because things that stimulate you sexually at one time will eventually be eclipsed by something more stimulating. it’s a slippery slope if it’s abnormal and because that abnormal behaviour was practiced when he was young, he will…
It would be easier to consider the matter settled or redeemed if we gave appropriate sentences for rape.
Depends. Will the rape follow the young woman the rest of her life?
Seems to me that it is more than a touch ironic for somebody without a TV to watch an show that gives out awards for TV.
I get that I can watch the Emmys without a TV, but not why I’d want to.
I have a TV and still won’t be watching.
On a semi-related note I remember a bit in some military sci fi novel where the bad guy aliens dismissed the humans as not properly warlike because their battleships were all named after cities and landmarks instead of having properly fierce names like skullcrusher, meanwhile the heavy battleships Stalingrad, Rorke’s…
Well, there’s always the USS Gabrielle Giffords. She’s a Littoral Combat Ship, Independence-class, commissioned just this summer. And the USS Hopper, of course, is an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer named for the awesome Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. It’s a start, anyway. ;-)
Interesting topic! Setting aside a couple of Revolutionary War vessels and some formerly civilian ships commissioned into the Navy which retained their original names (mostly during the age of sail), the list of combatant USN ships is very short.
Basically all US submarines used to be (talking WW2-era here) named after fish and other sea creatures. Battleships got state names. Cruisers got named after cities. Destroyers got named after people.
Well. Looks like I am the dick head. Apologies and thanks for your service.
No need, the Navy’s stellar year in the news is plenty enough.
Disclaimer: 12 years Active Duty Navy service. So that’s (former) Petty Officer Dickhead to you.
These days, at least this year, a US Navy Ship returning to home port under her own power and not having rammed another ship or ran aground is enough to fly a “Mission Successful” banner....
Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…
Certified Armchair Psychologist here. It sounds like your flirting is being interpreted as you asking her for something. That might not be how you intend it, but communication between spouses is entirely about how the other person interprets it, so it may be worth analyzing.
Yikes.
This has been my, very satisfying, life for the last couple of years, and I expect to milk at least a couple more out of it before the last of my loin-spring is out of the house.
