“Saying maybe you’ll have sex next time is obvious. Saying you don’t want to feel forced is obvious.” And all of these things were in relation to having sex, and they didn’t have sex, so I’m not real sure what this has to do with anything. Was Ansari a bit of an entitled douche for pushing the sex with the “second…

“It could easily be taken as sex is too much, but the other stuff we did is fine.” I’m not sure why you would take it any other way, “slow down” is directly saying not to stop. If I told someone I was fooling around with to “slow down” and they stopped doing everything and got up to leave, I’d be like, “what did I…

“She gave both obvious verbal and non-verbal cues.” How do you know? Even if we take everything she said as true from her perspective, she may think she was doing something obvious after the fact, but wasn’t. She describes doing “everything except sex” within 10 minutes of getting back to his place. She describes him…

More likely no one followed her home and it was a paranoid delusion due to whatever mental health issue she was experiencing

I would question any defensive metric that doesn’t think Vizquel was one of the greatest defensive shortstops. He played a few years at the end of his career where modern advanced metrics were available. DRS has him at +16, UZR/150 of 24 in ‘07. Omar Vizquel was 40 years old in 2007. If he was worth 45 DRS from age…

No, I think the logic makes sense. If a stadium’s in the suburbs somewhere then it’s generally going to be easier to get to for people outside the city, since you don’t have to deal with city traffic, and parking’s easier. Like if the Philly stadiums were in Bensalem or something, you’d be able to get their faster…

284 seems pretty normal for heating if it’s a decent-sized, older house in Erie PA. If the highest electric/gas bill you ever had is $60, have you ever actually lived in a house or do you have an apartment?

It wouldn’t take much to sink Amazon? Amazon isn’t profitable? It’s not 2002 anymore. They’ve had 10 straight profitable quarters. They had free cash flow of like 10 billion in 2016.

“I’m tired of sharing theaters with parents who assume that all animated films or superhero films are only intended for young children.” What? In what way are the parents assuming these films are only for young children, do they give you the stink-eye when you stumble into the afternoon showing of Cars 3 in your…

Do people not already own headphones? You can buy a nice pair of noise cancelling Sennheisers for like $20

This is a weird recollection. Martinez usually makes 2-3 solid defensive plays and hits a handful of singles. He has no power and is pretty much average defensively at a variety of positions. He doesn’t make much sense on a team that has plenty of good-field no-hit utility options (Erik Gonzalez, Gio Urshela). But…

I don’t understand why they thought a movie like this would be some box office smash. It’s not like some action movie, the original Blade Runner was definitely something for a niche audience, I don’t think slow burn sci-fi movies have mass appeal. It’s akin to movies like Ex Machina and Arrival. Even action-y,…

Honestly when reading about this guy, it doesn’t sound like he’s trying to prove the earth is flat. It sounds like he sought out flat earthers to get financing for his rocket stunt. I mean how does going 1800ft up into the air having anything to do with flat earthers, you could go skydiving or whatnot and be much…

“there’s nothing truly unethical about the Braves sneaking some too-high signing bonuses through the system.”

When self driving cars are a thing, it’s doubtful many individuals would own them. You would just use your automated car caller app to have the automated car pick you up and take you where you’re going. At least that’s how it would be in every urban area.

Did you read the NYT article? The women said they said “yes”. The two said they “thought he was joking” but never said they told him that. They just said they were laughing while he jerked off in a chair. The other one said she said “yes” but “knew it was wrong.”

Except for the phone sex person, the other women explicitly said they said “yes” when he asked. The one said “no” when he asked and he didn’t do anything.

Who said they said “no” and he pulled his dick out anyway? There were 3 women who said they said “yes” and he pulled his dick out, and one who said no and he didn’t.

A dude on reddit put a beat behind it, you might appreciate that more

No, that didn’t happen, it wasn’t one of the main protagonists, it was Henry Bowers, the main human antagonist, who got jerked off by his creepy friend. It wasn’t necessarily “unconsensual” since Henry could have easily stopped it at any time, but Henry only punched Patrick after he offered to suck his dick.
