Not all older/younger. All teacher/student or adult/underage. If one person is in a position of power over the other, complete and free agency just isn’t possible.

It doesn’t work that way. The reason alcohol makes such an excellent rape weapon is that its typical use has nothing to do with rape or any other crime. In regular non-rapey life, social drinking is just social drinking. Drinking doesn’t cause rape. Only rapists can cause rape.

But let’s say you want to force sex on…

Gob is gay and Tobias is not. Somehow that didn’t strike me as funny. Maybe I never really saw the clues? Idk, what do y’all think?

No! Obviously their parents or their after-school jobs are paying for them.

But back in the day, my mom wouldn’t even let me spend money I earned myself on stuff that she thought was too expensive. My niece was in cosmetology school a couple of years ago and I thought she said extensions are like $500 and need to be…

Gosh, that “sinister” implication that rapists use alcohol as a weapon to rape.

I know. And it cracks me up how she implies that a relationship with a “powerful” man is like the Holy Grail that all women strive for.

That would be hilarious! OMG I would give anything if Doe and the judge were in a consensual romance and the judge refused to recuse himself because by Kipnis’s reasoning all is right with the world.

Can someone translate for the white girl? What does it mean “they wear them as braids to protect their hair”? Also, don’t extensions cost something like $500? How do teenagers afford that?

Miserable TV Junkie,

Definitely take it as a warning. They’re too busy, they don’t care about HR, their people don’t care enough to prepare, or a hundred other things that all add up to: they don’t have people skills. Which probably means chaos, infighting, and a lot of wasted time.

Scary.

Wtf? Illegal interview questions, travel required, and you have to live in Florida even if you spend more than half your time in the Bay Area because you can’t afford the Bay Area without a full Bay Area salary? What a shit job.

Not only that, this person is old enough to have a 15 year old child. So how long ago was school?

Anyone who even considers an 11 year old’s opinion about whether or not to buy a house is already doing it wrong.

1. No harm, no foul??? Gunpoint is both.

Not exactly on topic, but I’m happy to see that description thing get a wider audience. A local newspaper in my city stopped printing vague descriptions of suspects like “black man” because it put all black men at risk. Unless you can give height, facial features, age range, weight range, and clothing (beyond…

There are studies that show that whites use drugs more frequently but are simply arrested fewer times. So I’m not even sure black people smoke “so much.” Clearly not as much as they need to.

Reminds me of an old Bette Davis movie that included a scene about how it’s okay for her to smoke a cigarette a day while pregnant because she’s “used to smoking” but how pickles are strictly off limits.

What must it feel like to sit like that with your legs spread wide apart constantly? It’s like “hey world! here are my genitals!”

1. This is the best hijack the world has ever known.
2. I want to start an Instagram that juxtaposes photos of Obama’s daughters with quotes like this misattributed to Obama, just for the surreality of it all.
(I won’t because I’m decent and also lazy.)
